m <br />� Pequot Lakes Durnp <br />STS Project 97511-YB <br />March 10, 2003 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />1�.� <br />� �TS CON5ULTANTS <br />~ STS Consultants, Ltd. (STS) has completed a Phase II Enviro.r�mental Site Assessment <br />{ESA) for the Pequot Lakes Dump, located in Pequot Lakes in Crow Wing Counfy, <br />- Minnesota. The dump site is located on the west side of County State Aid Highway 11 and <br />east of Stafe Hiyhway 371, just north of the north boundary of the City of Pequot Lakes in <br />Crow Wing County, Minnesota. <br />The dump area is oval shaped, with a footprint that covers approximately one acre of <br />property. A portion of the dump site lies on property owned by the City of Pequot Lakes and <br />the rema+nder of the site lies on property owned by Mr. Charles Aathcke. Waste disposal at <br />- the Pequot Lakes Dump appears to have statted as early as 1940 and continued possib(y <br />• until 1980. Waste materiais including rubbish and pestieide drums were observed on the <br />�round surface of the properly. Waste materials e�countered in the dump area were <br />observed at a maximum thickness of 15 feet and i��cluded pieces of concrete, shingles, <br />� <br />scrap metal, glass, plastic, househo(d waste, and surficial waste, Private domestic water <br />supply �velis are located within 1/2 mile of the dump, and are likely screened in the <br />quaternary aquifer at depths less than 100 feet. <br />Five soil borings and three hand auger borings were advanced during fhe Phase li ESA. ' <br />Observations were made of the distribution of solid waste across the property, and the <br />a�parent vertical and horizonta) extents of the solid waste at the site were determined. <br />Surface soil samples, waste sampies, samples of native soil underlying waste, <br />" groundwater samples, and a surface vdater samp(e and sediment sampie from an <br />' adjacent pond were collected for laboratory analysis to evaluate the environmental <br />_ impacts from the solid waste. The conclusions based on this Phase II ESA are as <br />. foHows: <br />., <br />W Site yeology consists of cover soils overlying solid waste (where present) and fill soils <br />(where present), overlying native soils ranging in consistency from fine to medium <br />- sand to clay with traces of gravel. A portion of the site lies in a low area with grassy <br />' ve�etation, trees, anci undergrowth. A pond is adjacent to the dutnp site along the <br />� west bo�mdary and a steep slope extends from the top of the dump to the pond. <br />n <br />0 <br />7HE INFRAHTRLICTUFIE IMPE}2ATIVE 1 Rsljeoo�.do� <br />
