Do Not Distribute July 5, 2017 <br /> 2.0 Background <br /> Depending on availability and demand, South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) delivers <br /> approximately 230,000 acre-feet (AF) of irrigation water annually to 57,000 acres of irrigated <br /> agriculture for 3,000 customers in the Escalon, Manteca and Ripon areas. Water is released during <br /> the growing season from March to October from Woodward Reservoir and gravity flows east to west <br /> via the 18.3 mile long SSJID Main Distribution Canal ("Canal"). The Canal connects to 150 miles of <br /> concrete-lined conveyance channels and 360 miles of pipelines that deliver irrigation water to <br /> growers. <br /> The Escalon Sportsmen's Club (ESC) was established in 1947 and offers a variety of activities, <br /> including trap shooting. <br /> On January 4, 2017 San Joaquin Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) staff observed lead <br /> shot pellets on the banks and at the waterline of the Canal located north of 25187 East River Road in <br /> Escalon, CA. The ESC is located to the south of the Canal at 25195 East River Road in Escalon. <br /> Refer to Figures 1 and 2. <br /> Page 3 Blankinship & Associates , Inc . <br />
