Additional Property Attributes

The property is currently developed with four metal buildings. The lot is relatively flat with a slight slope towards the south. The property is currently leased by Allen Recycling and operated as a recycling facility serving the Canton area. During the interview with Mr. Allen, owner of Allen Recycling, he stated they do not accept materials with hazardous substances or petroleum products at the site. Surrounding/adjoining properties are mixed residential and commercial with some former industrial. Fire Insurance Maps from 1916 through 1950 depict the property as developed as part of a lumber yard. The aerial photos and fire insurance maps show historical lumber operations. Also, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documents reviewed for the nearby The National Priorities List (NPL) site (Southeastern Wood Preserving) identified the property as historically being operated by King Lumber, a wood preserving and treatment operation that is associated with legacy creosote contamination at the nearby NPL site. During lumber treatment operations, the following operations were performed on the property: log spraying, log pond operations, log storage, boiler operation, turbine operation (hydraulic equipment), general storage, and open burning. Also, numerous tanks (contents not specified) were identified on the property in the 1950 fire insurance map. Products like creosote and pentachlorophenol were commonly used to treat lumber. Although the property was not depicted as developed with treatment pits, the storage of these products may have occurred in the identified storage sheds/areas. Also, during this time period, on-site boilers were often fueled by wood waste from the operation. This wood waste may have contained creosote and pentachlorophenol-treated wood. Inefficient combustion of creosote and/or pentachlorophenol-treated wood products results in not only high hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions but also in high particulate emissions, which can carry hazardous substances, settle on soil, and allow hazardous substance to migrate through the soil and into the groundwater. Based on the potential historical handling and storage of products like creosote and pentachlorophenol, the historical storage of tanks on the property, the historical operation of hydraulic equipment on the property, and the historical operation of potential wood waste boilers on the property, impacts by petroleum products and/or hazardous substances are likely. Therefore, the former lumber yard operations - particularly the boiler, turbine, storage, and tank operations - represent a REC. Other RECs were also identified.
