Phase I Ena�ironmental Site Assessment September 2, 2009 appears to be a cleared area that is possibly an area used for dumping. An area of standing water is visible east of the creek on the south central portion of the Properry. • 1964 aerial photographs (scale 1 inch=500'): There appears to be an area on the ��est side of the creek that appears to have been cleared and may be used as a dumpinb area. Road development exists to the south. There appears to be a ��arer filled area/wetland to the northwest of the Property. • 1969 aerial photograph (scale 1 inch=500'): The Property appears relatively the same as the previous photograph. The area that appeared wet appears dry in this photograph. • 1979 aerial photograph (scale 1 inch=500'): The areas that ��ere cleared appear to have been covered or is grown over with vegetation. • 1984, 1991, 1997 and 2000 aerial photographs (scale 1 inch=500'): The Property appears relatively the same as the previous photograph. A residential development appears to have been development to the northwest of the Properry. The 1997 photograph sho��s a path running across to the west side of the Property. • 2003 and 2008 aerial photographs (scale 1 inch=500'): The Property appears relatively the same as the previous photograph. Vegetation across the entire Property has increased. The 2003 photograph depicts a white or cleared area on the south Properry boundary. This area is not depicted in the 2008 photograph. 4.4 Historic Topographic Maps As part of the historical data revie��, Carlson reviewed historical topographic maps with coverage of the Property and surrounding areas for the years 1907, 1958, 1972, 1993, and 1997. Copies of the topographic maps are included in Appendix E. In the review of the historic topographic maps, no on- site or adjacent features were observed that were considered relevant to the environmental condition of the Properry, except for the following: • 1907 topographic map (scale 1:62,500): The Properry appears to be undeveloped and appears to be mainly wetlands. Long Lake Creek runs north and south through the middle of the Properry. Brown Road South exists adjacent to the Properry on the east side. Lake Minneeonka is approximately 1 i/z miles south and Long Lake is approximately 1 i/z miles northeast of the Properry. The Ciry of Long Lake is approxiinately 1 i/z miles north. The Great Nortllern Railroad exists approximately 1 1/z miles north of the Properry. Most of the surrounding area appears to be undeveloped, wetlands or agricultural. • 1958 and 1972 topographic maps (scale 1:24,000): The Property appears to have two buildings constructed on the east side. Most of the west and central portions appear to be wetlands��ith tributaries of the Long Lake Creek. The Minneapolis and Chicago Railroad exists approximately 0.3 nliles north of the Property. The City of Long Lake appears to have had some residential growth. In addition, it appears as though residential gro��th has increased along Brown Road South. Carl.eon Professional Services, Inc.
