IV. Inspector Comments

V. PHOTOGRAPHS

Photo 1: Former Southern Resources office building bordering Raleigh St.

Property appears to only be used for vehicle parking at this time, and Google Earth
indicates that “Right Solution Truck Parking Lot” is currently using the property. There
was nobody present on the property during the Site Inspection. The brick office building
is currently boarded up and has been deemed "UNSAFE" based on signage on building
(Photo 4). During the Site Inspection, a 55-gallon steel drum of soil cuttings was observed
against the southern side of a metal shop building. There was no date or contact
information on the drum placard (Photos 5 and 6).
