The nearest residence and private well is located approximately 110 feet southwest of the site. The wells in that area are reported to have an average depth of 40 feet. Lawless and Fall Creeks are classified as warm water streams and are inhabited by a variety of fish species which include sunfish, bluegills, catfish, and possibly white suckers. Because site access is not fully restricted, children playing in the area or other people, such as hunters, could wonder onto the site. Aerial photographs and records indicate farmland, forests, and residential areas exist in the vicinity of the site.
Some land is used for crop production of tobacco and corn.
Land along Lawless Creek includes pastures for grazing animals, including beef cattle. D. Health Outcome Data Following consultations with state and local health officials, VDH determined that no site-specific health data are available for the FPRQ site. Nearby residents first became aware that the site posed a potential threat to their water supply when the site was proposed for inclusion on the NPL in April 1985. The Danville Health Department organized a public meeting at that time in anticipation of citizen concerns or questions. Approximately 40 residents attended and were shown a map of the site.
