Additional Property Attributes

Standard and other historical sources were able to document that the property consisted of vacant wooded land with an unnamed tributary located in the southern portion from at least 1935 until between 1935 and 1944 when a structure was constructed in the northeastern portion. Due to the lack of available historical records, PM was unable to determine the use of the former structure. The structure was demolished between 1944 and 1959 when coal mining operations began in the eastern and southern portions of the property. Coal mining expanded throughout the property between 1976 and 1983. Sand tailing retention ponds were visible in the western and southern portions during this time. Coal mining operations ceased in 1987 when the property and several sand tailing retention ponds were backfilled with native soil. The northwestern retention pond has remained since this time. The northeastern portion was cleared and graded for development of recreational fields between 2009 and 2012. Between 2012 and 2016, a structure, likely associated with agricultural operations, is visible in the north-central portion. Three additional structure likely associated with agricultural and/or recreational fields were constructed in the northeastern portion. The north-central and several northeastern structures were demolished between 2016 and 2020 when operations ceased, and the property consisted of vacant land. The remaining structures are benches associated with former recreational activities.

According to a representative of the Virginia Department of Mining, Minerals and Energy (DMME), the onsite mining and surrounding mines were reclaimed and attained complete bond release, which means that reclamation results were achieved along with the five-year liability period for site revegetation. Additionally, the key site manager informed PM that the property was backfilled with native soil. Based on the filling activities observed in aerial photographs during mining operations, the lack of documented hazardous waste use onsite, the reclamation and approval of the reclaimed land by the DMME, PM has not identified the former mining operations as a recognized environmental condition (REC).
