Additional Property Attributes

Surface water and sediment samples were analyzed for chlordane, PCBs, and dioxins. Chlordane and PCBs were not detected in surface water or sediment. Dioxins were detected in surface water and sediment but at concentrations below screening values. Roofing materials (onsite debris) were analyzed for asbestos; it was not detected. Therefore, no further action was recommended for the site.

Former Use: The subject property was part of a larger parcel of land owned by private individuals from at least 1898 to the 1960s. During that time, most of the parcel was wooded with portions under cultivation and/or fields interspersed with lush vegetation and trees. In 1948, Berry Brooks purchased over 200 acres, which included the subject property, and used the land to keep peacocks and raised cattle in addition to residing at Epping Forest Manor, the name of Mr. Brooks� estate. When he retired in 1972, Mr. Brooks sold most of his property � bound on the north by James Road, on the west by Highland Street, and on the east and south by the Wolf River � for a planned community development of residences and commercial properties. During that time, soil was borrowed from the portion of the subject property that is now a lake and, by 1974, the Epping Forest Club parking lots, tennis courts, swimming pool, and clubhouse were under construction. By the late 1970s, the country club was fully developed and the borrow area had filled with water. The country club ceased operating by the early 1980s and property owners defaulted on a loan, causing the 66.09-acre subject property to be sold by public auction in 1990. From the 1980s until 2007, when the property was donated to the MCS Board of Education, former improvements deteriorated and unauthorized dumping occurred. In 2007, MCS razed the former country club building, removed scrapped cars, tires, shingles, and junk that had been dumped onsite, and hauled all the material offsite for disposal. MCS then secured the facility from future dumping by putting up gates and dumped soil to prevent vehicle access, and filled the swimming pool with soil; the concrete was not removed.
