The Site is a former potato farm and contains two buildings, a trailer, a pond, an unpaved road, a wetland area, grassy areas, and wooded areas. The buildings were used for storage of produce and farm equipment, and for farm vehicle maintenance. They are constructed of tin, wood, cinderblocks, and transite (asbestos). The buildings are in disrepair, and the building closest to the street (the potato storage building) is falling apart. Much of the transite on the walls and ceiling has fallen to the floor and is disintegrating. Chrysotile asbestos is exposed to the environment. The buildings also contain some farm equipment and approximately 15 drums and containers with oil and hazardous materials including pesticides. Another 10 drums containing oil and hazardous substances are located throughout the property.
