Additional Property Attributes

The subject property is located to the west of Southerfield Road in Americus, Sumter County, Georgia. The subject property, which consists of a vacant agricultural and forested parcel, is comprised of tax parcel number 2726-98-1 and is approximately 153 acres. According to the Sumter County Tax Assessor, Mildred G. McMillon Trustee of the Mildred G. McMillon Revocable Trust is the current property owner. A title search revealed that the current subject property owner has owned the subject property since 2015.

Based on the review of historical resources, the subject property has been used for agricultural purposes since at least 1937. A residence, a barn-like structure, and several smaller structures used as a part of agricultural practices occurring on-site are present in the central portion at the subject property. Based on conditions of the on-site structures and overgrown forested area surrounding the structures, the structures appear to be vacated since the late 1990s. The structures appear to be surrounded by forested areas completely since 2007. A pond is depicted on-site since at least 1972. An unimproved road providing access to the subject property from the east extends from Southerfield Road on topographic maps between 1972 and 1985. The current subject property conditions and trends have been observed since 2020 based on review of aerial photographs.

At the time of site reconnaissance, the subject property was observed to consist of vacant agricultural fields, forested areas, and vacant, dilapidated agricultural structures (a barn and a livestock holding/feeding structure). The interior of the structure was not accessible; however, portions of the interior were visible from the forested area. A cinderblock pit-like structure was observed in the vicinity of the agricultural structures; it was determined that this pit was historically utilized for cattle dipping. The presence of this cattle-dipping vat is considered to be an on-site REC. Two well-pumps were observed at the time of site reconnaissance. At least one of the well-pumps was determined to be located at the point of use of an abandoned well. Other notable observations include: a power utility easement in the west area of the subject property, a discarded 55-gallon drum in the northwest area of the subject property, various miscellaneous solid waste throughout various forested areas of the subject property, and a potential wetland area in the southern portion of the subject property.

Terracon's site visit indicated that the closest potential wetland areas/surface water bodies are located in the south portion (freshwater pond) and northeast portion (freshwater forested/shrub wetland) of the subject property. At the time of site reconnaissance, a potential wetland/surface water area was observed in the south portion of the subject property. This Limited Wetland Review does not constitute a formal determination and/or delineation of a potentially jurisdictional wetland. To obtain a formal determination from the USACE regarding jurisdictional status, a wetland/waters of the U.S. delineation should be conducted by a wetland scientist and submitted to the USACE (or in certain geographies the participating state agency) for a jurisdictional determination.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system and the Georgia Department of Environmental Protection did not identify the site as a critical habitat for threatened or endangered species. No additional investigation regarding threatened or endangered species is deemed necessary at this time; however, additional work would be required, should a formal determination from the appropriate regulatory body be requested.
Suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) and LBP were not observed within the on-site structures, however, based on the presumed age of the dilapidated structures on-site, ACM and LBP are expected to have been used during initial structure
