SITE SUMMARY
1.0 SITE CONDITIONS
This section discusses the observed conditions on the Site, as defined as the Properties (Tax
Parcel Nos. 3543-43-8074, 3543-52-7357, 3543-52-6877, 3543-52-5955, 3543-53-4044, and
3543-53-3133) or any area where a hazardous substance or waste has been deposited, stored,
disposed of, placed, or otherwise come to be located. The Waste Disposal Area is defined as as
the estimated area of subsurface/surface waste regardless of the number of properties on which it
is located The boundary (perimeter) of this area is the observed limit of waste material based on
field observations and the inferred limit based on a review of historical aerial photographs. The
site visit was conducted on January 28, 2011. Photographs illustrating site conditions are
included in Appendix D.
The Site is located in Gaston County, near Gastonia, NC. Driving directions to the Site from the
intersection of Interstate 85 and US-321 are as follows:
1. Drive south on US 321 for about 5.2 miles.
2. Take a left onto Little Mountain Road and drive about 1.7 miles.
3. Turn right onto Forbes road and drive about 0.7 miles.
4. Take a right onto Genes Ridge Road. Falls Dump is located at the end of Genes Ridge
Road.
1.1 On-site Structures
Two mobile homes built on a crawl space and an enclosed shed built on a slab foundation are
located on the southeastern part of the Waste Disposal Area.
A mobile home built on a crawl space is located about 50 feet to the southeast of the Waste
Disposal Area boundary in an apparent down-gradient direction. Four mobile homes built on
Falls Dump

5
crawl spaces are located within 50 feet of the northeastern Waste Disposal Area boundary in an
apparent up-gradient direction.
1.2 Current Site Usage
According to Ms. Jean Parker, property owner, the southeastern part of the Site is used for
residential purposes and the northwestern part of the Site is not used. Mobile homes were
observed during the site visit.
1.3 On-Site Water Supply Wells and Intakes
No on-site water supply wells were observed during the site visit. Water meters and fire hydrants
were observed on the Site during the site visit.
1.4 Surface Water Features
An unnamed perennial stream flows east to west through the northwestern part of the Site. The
unnamed perennial stream was not observed during the site visit. Two dry drainages were
observed to the northeast of the Waste Disposal Area. The drainages were about three feet wide
and covered with leaves and moss at the time of the site visit.
1.5 Waste Disposal Area
Access to the Waste Disposal Area is from a dirt path at the end of Genes Ridge (Photo 1). The
Waste Disposal Area occupies 9.5 acres based on the estimated Waste Disposal Area perimeter
shown on Figures 1 through 3.
The Waste Disposal Area is located on a ridge, with surface water flow most likely toward the
north and northwest. A comparison of the topography from the 1993 USGS 7.5 minute
topographic quadrangle map (10 foot contours, based on 1973 aerial photography) with the 2005
Falls Dump
No ID Assigned
6
topographic map from NCDOT (5 foot contours), indicates that up to about 15 feet of disposal
material has been placed on the northeast-central part of the Waste Disposal Area.
The depth of waste is estimated based on a comparison of topographic maps of different vintages
constructed using different methods. Differences between elevations on the maps may reflect
actual elevation changes or may be apparent differences due to the different map making
methods. The elevation comparisons are approximate and differences in scale and methods of
mapping are not sufficient to evaluate some changes in topography.
GPS coordinates were taken of the Waste Disposal Area perimeter. The approximate Waste
Disposal Area perimeter is illustrated on the figures and on aerial photographs in Appendix E. A
table of GPS coordinates for the Site entrance and the Waste Disposal Area perimeter is
presented in Table 1. The Waste Disposal Area perimeter location is approximate and is based on
visual observations made at the time of the site visit and interpretation of aerial photographs.
Figures 4 and 5 show LiDAR shaded relief superimposed on the Waste Disposal Area.
1.6 Waste Disposal Area Conditions
The Waste Disposal Area was covered with bare ground, kudzu, briars, deciduous and pine trees
of four to seven inches in diameter, and mobile homes. A landfill slope was observed along the
northern Waste Disposal Area boundary. Exposed disposal material was observed in the landfill
slope and included white goods, plastic, glass, tires, metal debris, and paint cans. Disposal
material consisting of similar material was also observed along the northeastern and
southwestern Waste Disposal Area boundaries. Hummocky topography was observed on the
central and southeast central parts of the Waste Disposal Area. A hill slope is apparent on the
southeastern boundary of the Waste Disposal Area near the mobile homes.
The observed Waste Disposal Area is on multiple Properties, Tax Parcel Nos. 3543-43-8074,
3543-52-7357, 3543-52-6877, 3543-52-5955, 3543-53-4044, and 3543-53-3133. The perimeter
of the Waste Disposal Area was visually evident based on the presence of exposed disposal

material and a landfill slope. The majority of the Waste Disposal Area is on Tax Parcel Nos.
3543-43-8074 owned by Ms. Jean Falls Parker and 3543-52-7357 owned by Mr. Gene Falls. The
northeastern part of the Waste Disposal Area extends onto Tax Parcel Nos. 3543-52-6877 owned
by Ms. Danielle Marie Nolan-Cook, 3543-52-5955 owned by Ms. Deborah Lee, 3543-53-4044
owned by Ms. Mary Willoughby, and 3543-53-3133 owned by Ms. Linda Adams. Coordinates
of points on the estimated perimeter of the Waste Disposal Area are listed on Table 1.
No notable erosion, depressions, offensive odors, stained or discolored soils, or slope failures
were observed during the site visit.
1.7 Evidence of Human Activity
Mobile homes were observed on the southeastern part of the Waste Disposal Area. The
northeastern part of the Waste Disposal Area extends onto the backyards of four residential
properties.
1.8 Potential Landfill Gas Migration Pathways
Potential gas migration pathways located on the Waste Disposal Area and Site include:
• Mobile homes with crawl spaces: southeastern and northeastern parts of the Waste
Disposal Area and Site.
• Underground water and telephone lines: southeastern part of Waste Disposal Area and
Site.
• Septic systems: southeastern part of Waste Disposal Area and Site.
• Enclosed shed: southeastern part of Waste Disposal Area.
1.9 Physical Barriers
Site access is provided by Genes Ridge from Forbes Road. Physical barriers were not observed
along the property boundaries.

2.0 VICINITY CONDITIONS
This section describes the observed general conditions in the vicinity of the Site, as defined by an
area within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of the Waste Disposal Area. Photographs illustrating
vicinity conditions are included in Appendix D.
2.1 Structures Located on Adjacent Properties
Structures described in this section are located on adjacent properties that have a shared property
boundary with the Site and are within 1,000 feet of the Waste Disposal Area boundary.
Several houses are located to the north, south, and east of the Site on multiple tax parcels. These
structures are shown on Figure 2 and on aerial photographs in Appendix E.
2.2 Water Supply Wells and Intakes
Water supply wells or well houses were not observed at residences within a 1,000-foot radius of

* The private water well location shown on Figure 2 was verified by interview. If not observed,
water wells are assumed to be near residences not served by public water systems and these well
locations are shown in an assumed location near the residences on figures and aerial
photographs. Wells are shown as of the date of our site visit.
The nearest public water supply registered on the NCDENR Public Water Supply Section’s
database (as of January 2011) is a public water supply well (0136287-GW) located to the
southeast of the Site. This location is 600 feet in an apparent side- to up-gradient direction from
the Site on Wesley Drive, Gastonia, NC 28052 (Contact: Leigh Sprimont, 704-489-9404). The
location and permit number for this well are shown on Figure 1.
