The 3.01 acre property is currently consists of 6 delaplidated structures and has been vacant for over 10 years. The property owner is deceased and no ownership entity can be identifed. DEQ obtained a warrant for the contractor to access the property to complete Phase I ESA site reconaissance.

A flood and fire in 1940 reportedly destroyed the majority of the tannery operations and Jenkins Wholesale Supply Company (Jenkins) moved into the subject property in the 1950s. Jenkins occupied the subject property until the early 2000s.

- Automotive restoration activites under Jenkins Properties (petroleum, solvents, others)
- Remnant ASTs, drums, other containers of automotive fluids
