3.0 SITE LOCATION RESEARCH SUMMARY

Marshall Miller & Associates, Inc. (MM&A) has completed an assessment of the pre-

regulatory landfill site listed as the Garner Trash Dump located in the Town of Garner,

Wake County, North Carolina. The assessment included historical research and a site

inspection to confirm the site location, to develop an understanding of the operational and

development history, and to evaluate the current site and vicinity conditions.

3.1 SITE SUMMARY

3.1.1 Site Ownership and Dates of Operation

According to records available from the Wake County Register of Deeds, the property

encompassing the site was sold to Roy Jones Walker and his wife Viola Wheeler Walker by

Sarah Frances Jones and her husband J. P. Jones on October 24, 1942 (Deed Book 889, Page

344). After Mr. Walker’s death, the property was conveyed to his legal heirs according to

the Last Will and Testament of Roy J. Walker, Sr., dated December 26, 1947. A copy of

this will was not available at the time of this report. On July 27, 1971, the remaining heirs

of the Walker Estate conveyed to Roy J. Walker, Jr. and his wife Alice W. Walker their

respective interests in Tract Number 3 of the Walker Estate (Deed Book 2006, Page 213) as

shown on the plat of the Roy Jones Walker Estate surveyed by Moses Farmer (Book of

Maps 1971, Page 231). Tract Number 3 is the property that currently encompasses the site,

and this deed is the most recent transfer of title for the property. Copies of these deeds and


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

plat as well as the Wake County Real Estate Data - 2010 Account Summary are provided in

Appendix A.

No historical documentation was available to confirm the years of operation of the landfill.

An interview with Roy and Alice Walker’s son, Ken Walker, revealed that the site accepted

yard waste and stumps during his youth, which would have placed the dumping operations

around the late 1960s to early 1970s. Upon review of the historical aerial photographs,

dumping likely began in the mid to late 1960s and could have continued through the mid

1970s.

The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR),

Division of Waste Management, Superfund Section, Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, Pre-

Regulatory Landfill Unit (the Unit) obtained permission to access the site from Ken Walker

on behalf of Alice Walker. During this site visit, and during previous task orders associated

with Garner Trash Dump, MM&A interviewed numerous long-term residents of the area.

Copies of these communication logs are included as Appendix B.

3.1.2 Site Location

The site is located approximately 4.25 miles south of Garner Town Hall (900 7th Avenue)

with a bearing of 174 degrees from true north. The site location and the surrounding area

are depicted in the various maps included with this report (Figures 1 through 4).

3.1.3 General Site Description

The site is located in the Panther Branch Township of Wake County outside of jurisdiction

but in close proximity to the Town of Garner. The site is bordered to the south, east, and

northeast by undeveloped forestland, and to the west and northwest by a cleared field.

The property on which the site is located occupies an area of approximately 40.43 acres and

has an irregular polygonal shape. The site is approximately 1.43 acres and is centrally

located in the northern portion of the property.


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

The site is comprised of two distinctly different areas in terms of topography and vegetation:

a grass field in the northern section and a wooded area in the southern section. The site

gently slopes to the southeast in the grass field and changes to a steep slope in the wooded

section with a total relief of 40 feet. There is an unnamed creek in the wooded section that

was dry at the time of this investigation and slopes from southwest to northeast. According

to the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service’s

Web Soil Survey, the soils within the site are classified from west to east as Appling

gravelly sandy loam and Cecil sandy loam.

3.2 SITE AND PROPERTY CONDITIONS

The following sections discuss the conditions of the site based on historical research and the

site inspection. Captioned photographs are included in Appendix C to illustrate the

condition of the site as observed during the site visit that was performed on June 1, 2011. A

copy of the Field Reconnaissance Sheet is included as Appendix D.

3.2.1 Structures on the Property

No historical or current structures were observed on the site or identified in historical aerial

photography or topographic maps. The property currently has one residential structure and

five barns. The residential structure is a historic farm house located approximately 400 feet

west of the site. The farm house is well maintained, but it is not known if it is currently

occupied.

3.2.2 Current Property Usage

The primary use of the property is for agriculture and storage of supplies related to Ken’s

Produce, Ken Walker’s garden and farm supply business. Ken’s Produce is located on an

adjacent parcel which fronts Benson Road and was subdivided from Tract 3 of the Roy

Jones Walker Estate by Niall Gillespie, R.L.S. (Book of Maps 1995, Page 197). See

Appendix A for a copy of this plat. Along with various barns and greenhouses, fill dirt is

stockpiled for sale on the property, with the majority of the fill dirt piled in the northwest

portion of the site. Mr. Walker also has a portion of his approximately 6.4-acre corn maze


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

5

on the property that is popular in the area with families during the harvest season.

3.2.3 Water Supply Wells and Intakes

There are three water supply wells currently being used on the property (Wells 1-3, as

indicated on Figures 1 and 2). Mr. Walker stated that he is not connected to municipal

water service and that the wells are used for drinking water and irrigation of the plants

associated with Ken’s Produce. The locations of these wells were recorded with a Trimble

GeoXT® handheld global positioning system (GPS) unit differentially corrected by the

North Carolina Continuously Operating Reference Station (NC CORS) RALR.

3.2.4 Surface Water Features

Beginning at a confluence of terrain features approximately 1,700 feet south of the site, an

unnamed intermittent stream flows north along the eastern boundary of the property where it

turns northeast and follows the southern boundary of the Indian Creek Overlook subdivision

and empties into Swift Creek approximately 2,700 feet east of the site (Figures 1 and 2).

The grass field in the northern section of the site drains into a small cattail marsh at the top

of the steep slope in the wooded south section of the site. The cattail marsh drains down the

steep slope into a dry creek bed along the southeastern edge of the site. At the time of the

MM&A site visit, there was no flowing or standing water or residual moisture in the creek

bed. This drainage feature is approximately 600 feet long and flows northeast towards

Indian Creek Overlook subdivision.

3.2.5 Disposal Area

Based upon GPS mapping of the perimeter, personal interviews, and examination of maps

and aerial photographs, the site occupies approximately 1.43 acres of the 40.43-acre

property. The site is located in the northwestern portion of the property and is

approximately 150 feet south of Indian Creek Trail.


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

3.2.6 Disposal Area Conditions

The majority of the site debris is situated along a steep slope leading to a dry creek bed. The

steep slope is heavily eroded with exposed debris in the erosion channels and assorted debris

scattered on the surface. Erosion and gravity have deposited a large amount of debris in the

dry creek bed below. The wooded southern section of the site including the steep slope has

a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees ranging from 8 inches to 24 inches in diameter.

The northern section of the site in the grass field has small areas of unnatural topography

scattered throughout that suggests the possibility of buried waste. The grass field is a

mixture of tall grass and flowers and includes the fill dirt stockpile located in the upper

northwestern section of the site.

3.2.7 Evidence of Human Activity

There is a small path that leads to the fill dirt stockpile from a gap in the fence to the west of

the site coming from Ken's Produce. No other evidence of human activity was noticed near

the site.

3.2.8 Potential Landfill Gas Migration Pathways

No potential landfill gas migration pathways were noted on-site. The site does not contain

any building foundations or underground utilities that would promote the migration of

landfill gasses.

3.2.9 Physical Barriers

No physical barriers were observed preventing access to the grass field in the northern

section of the site. The southern section of the site is heavily wooded and steeply sloped.

Access to the southern section of the site is not available by vehicle and is difficult to

traverse on foot.

3.2.10 Other Pertinent Information

The site has a cattail marsh that extends into the grass field from the tree line above the


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

7

slope containing the majority of the debris. This cattail marsh is in the same location as the

area of debris in the 1971 historic aerial photograph (see Section 4.0). Mr. Walker stated

that the cattail marsh was an area that he had filled in with soil in order to stop the flow of

water into the dry creek bed (Appendix B). There is extensive erosion on the slope

immediately downstream from the cattail marsh.

3.3 VICINITY CONDITIONS

3.3.1 Structures Located within 50 Feet of the Site

No current or historic structures were identified within 50 feet of the site, based on the site

visit and historical resources, which include aerial photography and topographic maps.

3.3.2 Vicinity Water Supply Wells and Intakes

MM&A contacted Phillip Maddox, Maintenance Supervisor with the Town of Garner Public

Works Department, to determine the availability of municipal water connections in the

vicinity of the site (Appendix B). Mr. Maddox stated that the municipal water main ends at

the Arbor Green subdivision on Benson Road, approximately 3,000 feet north of the

intersection of Benson Road and Indian Creek Trail.

The locations of Wells 1, 2, and 3 on the property were confirmed during the site visit by

MM&A. The locations of Wells 4 and 5 associated with the residences on Indian Creek

Trail and with New Life Wesleyan Church on Benson Road were visually identified by

MM&A during the site visit. The remaining wells (Wells 6-11) were not physically

observed, but the properties are developed and are not served by municipal water.

During the site visit, the MM&A field team observed a community well house located inside

the Indian Creek Overlook subdivision approximately 2,300 feet northeast of the site.

MM&A contacted Mrs. Betsy Dean, office manager for the subdivision, and she stated that

there are two community wells servicing the subdivision which have been capped off and

are currently not in use (Appendix B). The subdivision was connected to municipal water

in November 2010 and connected to municipal sewer services in March 2011. There is a


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

8

master meter for the subdivision located at 2775 Benson Road. According to research on

the NCDENR, Division of Environmental Health, Public Water Supply Section website,

there are no permitted Well Head Protection Areas in the vicinity of the site. However, Well

5 associated with New Life Wesleyan Church is currently identified in the Public Water

Supply Section system as a Transient-Non Community well. The Public Water Supply

Section website states that a Transient-Non Community water system provides water to at

least 25 persons for at least 60 days per year but less than 6 months per year.

3.3.3 Current Land Usage

Current land usage within 1,000 feet of the site is as follows:

North: A grass field located on the property is situated immediately north of the site. Indian

Creek Trail borders the property to the north and is the main egress for the Indian Creek

Overlook subdivision, which begins approximately 500 feet northwest of the site and

extends beyond 1,000 feet to the northeast. Two residences not associated with Indian

Creek Overlook subdivision are located on Indian Creek Trail approximately 350 feet north

of the site. New Life Wesleyan Church is approximately 650 feet north of the site. The

Woodbrook Estates subdivision begins at the corner of Woodbrook Way and Benson Road

approximately 900 feet northwest of the site and extends beyond 1,000 feet.

South: Undeveloped forestland is located immediately south of the site and extends

approximately 500 feet to agricultural fields. A field used for a seasonal corn maze is

approximately 630 feet south of the site and extends beyond 1,000 feet.

East: Undeveloped forestland is located immediately east of the site and extends beyond

1,000 feet. Homes associated with the Indian Creek Overlook subdivision are

approximately 500 feet northeast of the site.

West: Open grass fields are immediately west of the site. The residences of Mr. Ken

Walker and Mrs. Alice Walker are located beyond the fields approximately 320 feet west of


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

9

the site. Ken’s Produce is approximately 525 feet southwest of the site. An abandoned

commercial building along Benson Road is located approximately 861 feet southwest of the

site. A farm house opposite of Ken's Produce on Benson Road that appeared to be occupied

during the MM&A site visit is approximately 850 feet west of the site. West of Benson

Road, agricultural fields extend beyond the 1,000-foot perimeter.

3.3.4 Surface Water Features

An unnamed intermittent stream flowing along the eastern boundary of the property flows

into Swift Creek approximately 2,700 feet east of the site (see Section 3.2.4). Swift Creek is

located in the Neuse River Basin and is classified as Class C, Nutrient Sensitive Waters in

Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 2 Subchapter B.

4.0 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW

MM&A obtained aerial photographs from the Wake County Soil and Water Conservation

District (SWCD) the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and the United States

Department of Agriculture (USDA), Aerial Photography Field Office, National Agricultural

Imagery Program (NAIP) to provide information on the operational history of the dump and

the development history of the vicinity.

The sources and years for the aerial photographs obtained are as follows:

• 1954 Wake County SWCD, Frame BOP-3N-195 (K-16A) • 1965 Wake County SWCD, Frame BOP-1FF-20 (L-15) • 1971 Wake County SWCD, Frame BOP-3MM-86 (L-15) • 1988 Wake County SWCD, Frame 37183-1988 (K-15) • 1998 USGS Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle, Garner, North Carolina • 2005 USDA, Aerial Photography Field Office, 2005 NAIP • 2010 USDA, Aerial Photography Field Office, 2010 NAIP

The aerial photographs listed above are included in Appendix E. Following is a summary

of the observations made from the review of the aerial photography:

In the 1954 aerial photograph, the site was densely wooded. North and west of the site there

were numerous agricultural fields with rows visible in the photograph. South of the site


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

10

there was a wooded area for approximately 400 feet leading to more agricultural fields. The

historic farm house is visible on the property, along with some of the associated barns and

sheds. There was scattered development along Benson Road.

In the 1965 aerial photograph, the site and immediate vicinity had changed very little since

the 1954 aerial photograph.

The 1971 aerial photograph shows the northwestern portion of the site had been partially

cleared of trees. An access road had been constructed that begins at Benson Road and

meandered to an area of disturbance at the site. The access road forked at the site to provide

access to a visible pile of debris from the north and west. A darkened area immediately

southeast of the pile of debris appears to have been located in the same place as the majority

of the waste that was observed during the MM&A site visit.

In the 1988 aerial photograph, no visible debris remained on the site, and the access road

was abandoned. The site had been almost fully cleared of trees. There were patches of

irregular color in the area of the pile of debris from the 1971 photograph. Indian Creek Trail

and Woodbrook Way had been constructed, and development was in progress within the

Indian Creek Overlook subdivision and Woodbrook Estates. Jackie's Lane south of the site

had been constructed with homes along its length.

In the 1998 aerial photograph, the site remained cleared of trees. However, the patches of

irregular color from the two previous photographs were missing. Also, a hedgerow had

begun to be constructed on the property approximately 100 feet south of Indian Creek Trail

which blocked the view of the site. The construction of Indian Creek Overlook subdivision

and Ken’s Produce had been completed. The New Life Wesleyan Church property had been

prepared for construction of the church site.

In the 2005 aerial photograph, the woodlands had begun to encroach on to the southeastern

portion of the site. The hedgerow south of Indian Creek Trail had grown in width since the


NONCD0000604 June 28, 2011

11

1998 photograph. The field that is seasonally used for a corn maze had been created south

of the site. The Southern Trace subdivision had been developed to the southeast. The New

Life Wesleyan Church had also been constructed.

In the 2010 photograph, the woodlands on the site had grown to their present extents. The

cattail marsh was visible along the wood line within the site. There was exposed earth in the

northern section of the site that corresponds with the location of the fill dirt stockpile

observed by MM&A during the site visit. The 2010 photograph is generally representative

of the current conditions of the site and vicinity.

The cattail marsh immediately adjacent to the site was indicated as being an area that he tried to fill in with dirt to stop the flow of water down the slope, which was the same slope that MMA found the majority of debris. Mr. Walker also p p j ymentioned that he is not hooked up to municipal water and has 3 wells on his property that they use for drinking and irrigation. -MC
