Document surface soil condition along the Westmoreland corridor, segment 3, Westmoreland Road near Singleton Boulevard, West Dallas, TX 75212 (public right of way, within a former lead smelter EPA Superfund National Priorities List site boundary, cleanup complete) (2026-07-28)
This corridor sits inside the boundary of a former lead smelter EPA Superfund site, and the surrounding residential yards and public rights of way have no current photo record of exposed or eroding surface soil that could carry legacy lead residue, even though the smelter facility cleanup itself is complete. Standard: USDA NRCS Soil Health assessment practice plus US EPA Superfund site reuse and community monitoring guidance, applied here as a document-only stand-off survey of surface-soil condition along the Westmoreland Road and Singleton Boulevard corridor, West Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, inside the boundary of a former lead smelter EPA Superfund National Priorities List site (cleanup of the smelter facility and disposal areas complete, EPA Ready for Reuse determinations issued 2006). SDG 3.9 and 15.3. Proof: document-only stand-off photo log plus disturbed-area estimate plus GPS plus ranked follow-on note Method (USDA NRCS Soil Health assessment practice plus US EPA Superfund site reuse and community monitoring guidance, applied here as a document-only stand-off survey of surface-soil condition along the Westmoreland Road and Singleton Boulevard corridor, West Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, inside the boundary of a former lead smelter EPA Superfund National Priorities List site (cleanup of the smelter facility and disposal areas complete, EPA Ready for Reuse determinations issued 2006). SDG 3.9 and 15.3.): 1. 1. From the public sidewalk or right of way along the corridor, photograph any bare, eroding, or freshly disturbed surface soil visible in yards and the public right of way, without entering any private yard or touching the soil. 2. 2. Note the approximate area of bare or eroding ground and any nearby construction or excavation activity exposing subsurface soil. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest street sign or intersection for the crew's reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the segment for a qualified environmental assessor. Done when: document-only stand-off photo log plus disturbed-area estimate plus GPS plus ranked follow-on note
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: USDA-NRCS soil-health in-situ assessment
Bring
- soil auger or trowel
- infiltration ring + measured water + timer
- penetrometer (if compaction in scope)
- clean bucket
- sample bags + labels
- gloves
- GPS phone
- camera
Steps
- 1. Navigate to the plot; record GPS; sketch the sampling layout.
- 2. Photograph each sampling station.
- 3. Run the infiltration ring; record time to infiltrate 1 inch.
- 4. Assess aggregate stability and note visible organic matter, roots, and biology.
- 5. If compaction is in scope, record penetrometer resistance by depth.
- 6. Collect 0-15 cm cores if a lab subsample is specified; bag, label, complete COC.
- 7. Enter all measurements with units + depth, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Infiltration > 30 min/inch or high penetrometer resistance -> flag compaction; recommend cover crop / reduced traffic.
- Very low organic matter / no visible biology -> flag degraded; recommend amendment plan.
What counts as done
- Infiltration time recorded
- Aggregate stability + organic-matter observation recorded
- Each in-scope measurement recorded with units and depth
- GPS waypoint + station photos + site sketch
