There is a large residential development which stretches approxi- mately one and one-half miles along the north boundary of the site (approxi- mately 300 hc~es with one-half mile) and another smaller residential develop- me~t ("Hunter's Hill"~ approximately 25 ho~es) adjacent to roughly one-half mile of the east boundary. 91nese residential areas are not buffered ~rom 'the proposed site by any cemeteries~ parks~ highways or other man-made or natural harriers. (Ex. ZZ). 9here is a large trailer court (approximately 100 trailers) along the south edge of the proposed site between the railroad tracks and the highway. ~he only buffer between this residential develog~ent a~4 the proposed site is the railroad tracks. 46. Inside th~ site~ near the north center, there is a row of six ~s along the west side of Pamsey Boulevard and a house in the southeast area on Sunfish Lake Boule%fatal. These homes have no buffer frc~ the remainder of the proposed site. Soil and Aquifer Go~itions 47. Soi~ and water conditions in the proposed and adjacent area are about as bad as they can be frc~ the standpoint of offering grOundwater protection beyond that which is designed directly into the facility. 48. ~ne water table in the area is a foot or more above the surface to five feet below the surface throughout much of the proposed area. Two major drainagew~ys including wetlands~ ponds and interm/ttent streams proceed north- west to southeast through the east and west halves of the site. (Ex. AAA ar~ EX. PP). The top of the w~ter table throughout the remainder of the site is at elevation 860 plus/minus 5,' which is generally less than 15 feet below the surface of the land. (F~. E~, F~.g. 5 and Ex. PP).
