Well, if it's a ”very rural area”, you'll want to ask the neighbors WHO hauls trash and WHERE they take it to. There'll be someone near you with a tractor and a trailer (I don't mean Class 8 18 wheeler), or a big 1.5 ton flatbed, or something, who'll be glad to do the haul-off for short money.
Good news, I was at the lot yesterday and took time to investigate the spring. It turns out that it's no longer being used. The pipes were cracked and not connected.
The down side is that after looking closer at that area, there is a lot more debris and garbage on the lot that I initially thought.
There are a couple of repurposed concrete structures that were used to prop up the PVC pipes. There is also a large plastic barrel and a bunch of buried and exposed flex pipes running along the entire stream bed. I also found a couple of large old tires.
I'm still in the contingency period. I spoke to my realtor and we will ask the sellers to have the debris removed or give me a credit to hire someone to do it. It may not sound like a lot, but it's definitely a job I do not want to tackle because you can't drive down into the area to haul out the junk. Is this a fair request?
It's commonplace for land purchasers to require removal of major debris as a condition of the sale.
How much do you know about the historical uses of the property? Oftentimes, the biggest potential hazards are not evident.

Thank you, the sellers have until this evening to agree to the debris removal or else we can terminate the contact.
I don't know very much about the historical use of the property, but I'm almost positive it was never used for anything that would be potentially hazardous/industrial. It's in the mountains and was probably harvested for timber decades ago, like much of the land in the area was at one time. That's about it. It's sat raw and unused all of these years, it's heavily wooded.

Isolated water source in the woods in the mountains with debris from prior use and absentee landlord holding land for investment. Sort of says STILL to me. Either got caught and busted up or moved valuable components to a better location.
