Additional Property Attributes

Historically, the Site was used as a landfill and was later covered with a dead-end street. However, the street pavement materials were removed several years ago. Today, the level portion i.e., bank on the south portion of the Site was believed to be soil-covered however, based on field observations during drilling activities, this bank area is a natural occurrence and was not soil-covered from former landfill activities as bedrock material weathered claystone was identified at approximately 15 feet deep. The northern portion of the Site, which slopes down to and includes floodplain, has multiple piles of debris including concrete, asphalt pavement and shingles, tires, 55-gallon drums and electric insulators. The eastern portion of the Site is within the floodplain and has a large area covered with piles of asphalt and concrete pavement. The slopes and floodplain areas have scattered trees. The upper �level� �bank� on the south portion of the Site is mostly bare soil with minimal vegetation. Within the past six to nine months, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District has removed numerous trees and chipped them on the spot. The Site currently serves as open space and a natural buffer for trail users and wildlife. The City of Aurora plans to continue use of this Site as open space with more formal dirt trail access provided through the Site. Access at the street curb ramp is restricted with a cable gate. The highest portion of the Site southern portion abuts a property with an industrial use, which, according to the City of Aurora, used the Site for vehicle and tractor-trailer storage. The City of Aurora stated they are in the process of getting this encroachment resolved Aurora, 2009. At the time of the Phase II ESA, CDPHE personnel did not observe vehicle and/or tractor-trailer storage on this portion or any portions of the Site.
