Parcel 1105 (ADL 412883) was originally sold through the 1986 Lottery Program. In 1993 the property reverted back to State ownership. There is a dilapidated structure on the property. The structure is primarily concrete cinder blocks. It is incomplete and structurally unsound. In 2024 the parcel underwent clean up to remove nine 55-gallon drums, as well as the contaminated leaf litter and soil surrounding them. The drums contained waste oils and/or contaminated water. One drum contained waste determined to be hazardous per the EPA’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. No additional toxic material, waste, or hazards were observed during the clean up or subsequent field inspections.

As a condition of sale, the apparent high bidder must sign an affidavit acknowledging the condition of the land and releasing the State from related liability due to the presence of potential hazards.
