Cover Technologies (e.g., Capping)
When considering the site improvements proposed by future site owners/operators to cover the line with base material or asphalt, similar to other rail lines throughout the region, the measures associated with these activities will act as a permanent physical barrier assuming maintenance and repair that will eliminate the potential exposure pathways for COCs to reach future occupants of the site.

Additional Property Attributes

Considering the information obtained during this investigation, Bullock learned that the site has contained a rail line since the early 1900s. The primary use of the rail line was transportation of coal. Data gaps noted during the historical research include the unavailability of City Directory listings and Sanborn� Fire Insurance Maps. However, considering the site�s historical use, these data gaps appear to be minor and did not affect the overall conclusions of the Phase I ESA.

Former Use: The site comprises an approximately 16.5-mile abandoned section of the CSX Cane Creek Branch Railroad located in the northwestern sector of Jefferson County, Alabama. The approximate coordinates for the site are north latitude 33�38'09.16" and west longitude 87�02'20.46" beginning in West Jefferson extending to north latitude 33�37'09.07" and west longitude 86�47'12.02" ending in Fultondale. The site has contained a rail line since the early 1900s. The primary use of the rail line was transportation of coal.
