INTRODUCTION- 9W4 0 3805 Wllmi , .Iff 28403 This 20 Acre Flood Plain property was evaluated in order to determine the extent of any previous site disturbances or business practices that had a negative environmental impact on the site which might indicate past or present waste-generation handling and/or storage activities. The extent of this Level I environmental site inspection involved the following duties: a) A general site reconnaissance of the property and visual inspection of the periphery to observe any obvious ground surface disturbances or unnatural soil and land features and to inspect the tract for environmental problems resulting from negligent business practices; b) Review available aerial photographs, topographic maps and any relevant historical background data indicating previous land use; C) Evaluation of various relevant hazardous waste lists, permit databases, and property inventories from DWQ and the EPA, which might identify a nearby known source of contaminant; and/or property in non-compliance with current environmental regulations; d) Perform a windshield survey of adjacent land uses and those on permit data bases identifying potential waste generators or waste storage facilities which might impact the property; to provide maps showing proximity to subject property; e) Perform a narrative description of the property describing its general environmental status with various maps, photos, and supporting documentation being attached;-and f) Summarize and conclude if further environmental study is needed and, if so, what type of study would be involved for a thorough evaluation to complete a "Due Diligence Review". This preliminary "Level I" site inspection was limited to the above work duties and did not test for radon, nor did it 4 evaluate in detail adjacent land uses. This report is based on limited observations made on the date noted and was not intended to be absolute or exhaustive. It is based on historical knowledge of normal land use impacts to the environment and can be used to determine the general environmental status of this property as is often recommended by the Super Fund Amendment and Re-authorization Act (SARA) and CERCLA rules. PURPOSE/GOALS- The primary purpose of this environmental screening exercise is to scope out and evaluate this property to "due diligence" standards listed above and to follow the NC DOT Screening Inspection Guidelines. Within this purpose, the following goals were set for the Rowel Tract: A) To detail and summarize the existing natural conditions of the property; B) To scope the property as to the potential of containing threatened and endangered species and/or historic and archaeological resources; C). To summarize the potential for containing hazardous materials or be affected by regulated chemicals from adjacent properties; D) To make sure there is no known underground storage tanks or other contaminant which could affect the mitigation area or activity; and E) Conclude whether there is enough environmental concern to warrant further more intensive study. II. SITE INFORMATION: Site Location: This 20 acre mitigation site is located along the original flood-plain of Rowel Branch which is a tributary of Mill Creek and Sturgeon Creek in Leland, N.C. It lies 3/4 mile north of the major tidal portion of Mill Creek and is situated at the intersection of Seaboard Coastline Railroad with Mt. Misery Road (SR 1426) in an area locally called "Eastbrook". The 20 acre mitigation parcel lies in the center of an 87 acre "Eastbrook" parcel which is not developed at present. The average length of the mitigation stream segment is 2780 L.F. with a fringing flood-plain averaging 310 L.F. in width. The larger tract is bounded to the north by the railroad; to the east by the abandoned Carolina Creosote Plant; to the south by woodland and Schoolhouse Branch Creek and to the west by SR 1426. 5 Site Description: The exact property lines of the larger tract have been recently surveyed and are illustrated on the attached "Boundary' Map" which was surveyed in Sept. of 1998 by Sherwin Cribb R.L.S. The 20 acre section follows the 404 wetland edges of the flood plain of Rowel Branch and includes primarily remnant fresh water marshes with scrub/shrub zones along old beaver dams and dredge canal spoil piles. The upper head of the stream which was disconnected due to a diversion canal consists of mostly bottom land hardwoods. All of the site both wet and dry was clear cut within the last 2 years. The only man-made features on the property are the large canals (see photos), one roadway known as Eastbrook Drive which is presently abandoned, and physical scars showing extensive digging and filling activities across and through the flood-plain bottom 30 years ago. A cemetery and church are out parcels along the southern boundary. There are no buildings on the property nor was there a business on the site. There are remnant beaver dams and man-made berms crossing Rowel Branch flood-plain along its length at this location which have been breached by recent hurricane flooding. Soils: The attached 1973 SCS Soils Map of Rowel Branch shows the S.E. flood-plain/creek bottom as Muckalee soils which contain fine silts and organics. The northern section corresponds more with an intermittent Johnston braided stream series with coarse alluvial sand deposits from heavy stream bank erosion. Much of this flow comes down from Leland Industrial Park which empties most of its stormwater run-off in this direction. The non-hydric - upland soils which fall adjacent to the 20 acre mitigation area consist of the Lynchburg, Foreston and Goldsboro Soil Series. The large diversion canal was cut through these soil types and have sandy cut banks and spoil piles. Topography: As you can see from the attached 1990 USGS 7% Min. Quad Sheet which reads in meters, the property has a flood-plain which averages 6-7 feet above MSL. The adjacent uplands surrounding the branch reach a high of nearly 30 ft. MSL. This branch flows into Mill Creek nearly 4000 ft. to the south where it is a tidally influenced section of the much larger Sturgeon Creek. High lunar tides can back water up into the lower portion of Rowel Branch. Water Classifications: Rowel Branch is considered a "SW" swamp water fresh water first order stream which flows into tidal SC waters of Mill Creek and Sturgeon Creek. It receives mostly stormwater runoff from forestry operations and Leland Industrial Park which lies to the northwest. It also receives 6 run-off drainage from the railroad and numerous land clearing and silvicultural operations in Ready Bay. The stream flow appears to-be much greater than 5 CFS at this location which puts it below the Army Corps "Headwaters" point. Threatened and Endangered Snecies• As can be seen in Appendix "A" there was no plant or animal species found on the federal list which was positively identified in the Rowel Branch flood-plain. It is possible the short-nosed sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) migrates up into Mill Creek. The combination of intermittent swamp water flow, roadway and beaver dam restrictions most likely limited its use of this 0 upper stream segment. There are dry sand ridges on either side of the mitigation site but the large pine trees have been clear-cut and high graded over the years. Therefore, we did not see any Red- cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) habitat or cavity trees on the property. Historic and Archaeological Resources: According to our f ield observations and review of historical photos and records, there wasn't an earlier building or business operation on the property. There was evidence of a roadway and dam being pushed across the flood-plain in the late 1970's but as of 1973 (see attached aerial) the site remained in a near natural state with only beaver dam usage of the stream bottom. The adjacent property was not cleared yet for the Carolina Creosote Plant which started operations in 1974 according to state DWQ records. The SHPO Archaeology Branch maps identified one property adjacent to the mitigation site as being significant. It identified the "Oakland Cemetery" which lies next to the diversion canal on a high bluff. Many of the old tombstones (see photos) go back to the turn of the century and appear to be family grave sites. The mitigation work on this tract will not disturb this old cemetery which has a boundary recorded in Map Book 162; Page 364 in the Brunswick County Register of Deeds. III. SITE ASSESSMENT: Field Observations: This property was examined extensively by the undersigned and LMG staff during the last few months while performing wetland mitigation planning services. As was noted earlier there are no buildings on this 20 acre site nor on the larger 87 acre "Eastbrook" tract which surrounds this mitigation site. The closest buildings to the mitigation work area are two residential homes which lie next to Mt. Misery Road and abandoned sheds which lie down-stream at the abandoned Carolina Creosote Plant. 7 1 1 The mitigation area was once a dynamic hardwood swamp forest with raised water levels due to extensive beaver dams. It contains at least 4 old soil and log beaver dams which are now vegetated with 30 year old pine trees. It also contains an extensive fresh-water marsh above the dams with various emergent aquatic species which are in the Juncus, Sedge, Rush and Carrex families. Now that the dams are broken and the diversion canal is diverting and draining the site, upland plants such as Dog fennel and Broomstraw are volunteering in the higher marsh elevations. Even remnant Cypress and Gum Swamp areas are "drying out" with Myrtle Baccharis and Privet becoming dominant understory species, thus shading swamp and marsh regeneration. Map/Photo Search- According to the map and photo screening, the earliest attainable map (attached) was the 1928 Bureau of Chemistry and Soils Map. There was no disturbances of this 20 acre parcel, however, there were numerous surrounding residential and farm buildings along a dirt road that ran from the Eastbrook railroad community across the 87 acre parcel towards Navassa to the southeast. The attached 1973 photo shows this old dirt road and a field site when the Carolina Creosote Plant operated. The attached 1983 color I.R. photo enlarged to 111=600' illustrates the first evidence of both the location of the Creosote Plant along the tracts eastern boundary and :the first signs of the extensive canal activities. This photo also shows the creation of a perpendicular canal and the extensive filling of the central section of Rowel Branch swamp and marsh complex. The attached 1998 I.R. photo shows the property like it exists at present. Environmental Literature Search: An extensive search of the available environmental literature and data bases was performed using NPL lists, CERCLA, RCRA, and FINDS lists by EPA and LUST, UST, Landfill and Dump sites registered with DWQ's Hazardous Waste Branch. Based on the "Vista" computer 1 mile radius search of the multiple computer data bases, there is one site worthy of a more detailed description-. A summary of the environmental conditions of this site is as follows: A) Carolina Creosote Plant Site- EPA ID# NCD003184710. The property lies adjacent to the Eastbrook 87 acre eastern property line between the railroad tracks to the north and Rowel Branch to the south. It lies down-stream of the 20 acre mitigation area. The industrial property is abandoned at present and was identified on the CERCLA List as a SPL - State Equivalent Priority List (SRC #3703) but is not on the NPL. According to EPA records the "Carolina Creosote" site was a wood treatment facility which operated on this tract 8 from May of 1968 until March 1983 when the business operations were transferred to "The North Pole Company, Inc. "--which ceased operations in June of 1984. The plant site occupies about 10 acres of a larger 100 acre tract owned by Nancy Smith. It was initially owned by Tillman Reese (see map). The EPA took over clean-up of the site in 1992 after it was determined that all responsible parties, state staff, and previous owners did not have the resources. The initial investigation started in 1983 when a regulated sludge (K001 hazardous waste No.) was illegally disposed of on dry land. This sludge containing used creosote and pentachlorophenol (PCP) which also contains heavy metals and arsenic was found at four locations (See EPA map): (1) Bark pile near debarking machine; (2) In woods behind office near Todd family residence; (3) Behind land application area in woods; (4) In woods behind bath house and old office. Since K001 sludge settles out of waste water and is considered a hazardous waste, the plant operation is considered a "TSD Facility" and RCRA large quantity facility and, therefore, its clean-up effort was taken over by EPA. According to in-house EPA records they felt the worst part of the operation violations was the overflow of contaminated water from the diked tank farm and sludge landfarm area during heavy rains.. These overflows ran S.E. from the site towards the lower end of Rowel Branch about 1800 ft. south and downstream of the mitigation area. Subsequently, EPA staff in 1993 collected and removed the contaminated rainwater and sludge from dike areas and land farm and decontaminated tank water and process buildings. They also removed and bio-remediated or incinerated spillage of sludge and PCP on -land surfaces. The total cost was estimated at $330,160 on EPA documents and they are not taking further actions. IV. SUM14ARY AND CONCLUSIONS: As was noted above this 20 Acre parcel has remained natural up until the mid 1970's at which time the canal excavation and filling activities occurred. This work apparently was initiated to make the site attractive for industrial growth along the railroad and lost its attractiveness when the county started Leland Industrial Park and Carolina Creosote shut down. There are no threatened and endangered species on the tract 9 and the only registered Historic/Archaeological site is the old "Oakland Cemetery" which is a surveyed out parcel of the larger Eastbrook Tract and adjoins the diversion canal. What makes the property a little different then most is the remnant fresh water marsh created when water was backed up repeatedly over approximately 20 years by an extensive beaver population. Only one property out of six found during review of the environmental literature was worthy of further exploration. This was the operation, closure and eventual clean-up of the "Carolina Creosote Plant" site which lies immediately downstream and adjacent to the eastern boundary ditch of the 87 acre "Eastbrook Tract", of which this 20 acre mitigation site will be parcelled out. As was detailed above, this company used hazardous 11K001 Creosote" and PCP sludges and spilled and disposed of these TSD wastes in unauthorized sections of the 10 acre plant site. Subsequently, they were asked to stop work, clean-up the waste and submit operational and removal plans. They transferred operations to the North Pole Co., went bankrupt, and EPA took over clean-up, sampling and remediation. The site will remain on the SPL list as an EPA funded/financed operation with no further action recommended as of 1/15/93. The State Water Quality Office of DWQ periodically takes surface water samples in Rowel Branch and Sturgeon Creek and they have not found significant off-site contamination downstream to warrant another round of more intensive clean- up. In fact, water samples (attached) taken at a surface location at the Old Eastbrook Road crossing on Rowel Branch and a well on-site during 1984 indicated there was nothing getting into Rowel Branch or adjacent shallow ground water during the last operational period of the plant. It is, therefore, doubtful any Creosote derivatives and/or PCP have migrated up-gradient to this proposed 20 acre mitigation site. For this reason we do not believe further environmental study is necessary. Sincerely, Rob Moul, M.E.M.
