Sector 2: Former Car Scrap Yard

Sector 2 lies just south of Meredith Forest (orange triangle on map). This is a small 5.6-acre section close to 105 and wedged between Meredith Forest and the old quarry to the south. This section was occupied before 1990 by a car graveyard, a tire dump, and a garage. When this analysis was started, the area still contained many visible car parts of all sizes that litter the ground or were buried in central mounds and ramparts which border the southeast and the north perimeter.

The current status of the groundwater is unknown but we suspect that the site may not pass standards for septic or well water. In the last 20 years, plants have naturalized the space with many young trees, shrubs, sumac, juniper and grasses. Older trees exist in stands throughout this sector.
