At the bottom of the structural fill's south side slope there was a wetlands area and creek. We observed a brownish red liquid flowing into the wetlands area, possibly leachate, see photos below. A tracker trailer, boat and some large machinery was being stored on top of the fill. What is the proximity of the structural fill to receptors? Private Dwellings — no, see Figure 1, Proximity Map. Community Centers — no. Surface Water Features 50' (Lakes, Ponds, Wetlands, Streams) — yes, see Figure 2, Wetlands Map.
