Document the creek buffer near the old industrial corridor in West Anniston, from the public sidewalk only (2026-07-20)

West Anniston carries a long, well documented public record of soil contamination tied to the old industrial corridor near Choccolocco Creek. Residents want a current, dated photo record of the buffer areas along the public right of way so the record stays fresh between the licensed environmental crew's own monitoring visits. Standard: EPA public record, West Anniston industrial site buffer documentation Proof: Dated photo set with GPS tags matched to the written log Method (EPA public record, West Anniston industrial site buffer documentation): 1. Walk the public sidewalk or street shoulder only, never onto private or fenced industrial land 2. Photograph the buffer strip and any visible bare soil or erosion from the public vantage point 3. Log GPS coordinates for each photo location 4. Note any obvious change since the last documentation round in a written log 5. Submit the photo set and log; a licensed environmental crew performs any physical soil work Done when: Dated photo set with GPS tags matched to the written log

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA soil screening (composite surface sample, XRF/field kit)

Bring

• trowel or auger
• clean bucket + mixing tool
• XRF analyzer or metals test kit
• PID for volatiles (if petroleum in scope)
• sample bags + labels
• N95 dust mask
• gloves + eye protection
• GPS phone
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the parcel; record GPS; sketch a >=5-point sampling grid.
2. 2. Photograph each sampling point and any visible staining/fill/slag.
3. 3. Collect 0-15 cm cores from >=5 points; combine and mix in the clean bucket; subsample.
4. 4. Run XRF/test kit on the composite; record each metal in ppm.
5. 5. If petroleum is in scope, log PID readings and any odor/staining.
6. 6. Bag/label any lab subsample; complete chain-of-custody.
7. 7. Enter all analytes with units, depth, GPS, photos, and site sketch into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Lead > 400 ppm (residential) -> tag exceedance; advise raised beds / produce-washing / cover; recommend lab confirm.
• Arsenic > site screening level or PID indicating volatiles -> tag; recommend certified-lab confirmation before reuse.
• Suspected asbestos-containing material -> do not disturb; flag and stop.

What counts as done

• >=5-point composite collected at 0-15 cm
• Each screened metal recorded in ppm
• Visible staining/fill/slag noted (or absence)
• GPS waypoint + point photos + grid sketch

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
