i (§ 1.0) INTRODUCTION This Soil Suitability Study presents the results of my investigation concerning the soil characteristics and groundwater under the subject property referenced on the Title Page. It was completed to satisfy the requirements of the San Joaquin Environmental Health Department (EHD), specifically: 1.) To determine if the proposed two Parcels to be created from this subdivision are acceptable for the proper operation of a septic system which will function as intended for its anticipated lifespan, and 2.)Provide analysis and recommendations based upon the environmental criteria encountered in this study. This report is in compliance with the requirements for a Soil Suitability Study under Development Title Section 9-1105.2 Item (d) of the San Joaquin County Ordinance Codes. Within the text of this Report, bolded Section (§)numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable sentence,paragraph or paragraphs, or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist for a Soil Suitability Study. (§ 2.0) SUBJECT SITE AND STUDY AREA BACKGROUND INFORMATION (§ 1.1, 1.2,2.1 ) The purpose of this project is to subdivide an existing 41.87± acre Parcel, into two Parcels denoted.as Parcel 1, which is to be 3.57 acres and Parcel.2,which is to be 38.30 acres. Mr. Noceti's single family residential (SFR) structure will be built near-the mideastern edge of Parcel 1, which is currently vacant. This area is depicted on the S.J.C. Parcel Viewer Map found in Appendix "A." A building pad has been constructed for the future residence in this location. It is proposed to install the septic system leachfield at the south end of the building pad. Parcel 2 presently contains Mr. Noceti's aunt, Consuelo Noceti's house, two irrigation wells denoted as the east ag well and the west ag well, a small walnut orchard, and a forage crop. A septic system and domestic well serves Consuelo Noceti's residence. The-new home.that will be built on Parcel 1, will have its own domestic well and septic system. Each Parcel orientation is denoted on the attached Tentative Map,-.found in Appendix A. .(§ 3.7) It is possible EHD would support a second unit dwelling on proposed Parcel 1 and 2. If a primary house and second unit dwelling were built on Parcel 1, and a second unit dwelling was built on Parcel 2, this would give a total of four septic systems on the two Parcels comprising approximately 42 acres. This is a density of one septic system per 10.5 acres, which can be considered very low. (§ 1.1 and 2.1) The subject property is three miles southwest of the town of French Camp. Surrounding property use consists predominately of low density single family homes, ranchettes, pasture, confined animal facilities primarily poultry ranches and horse ranches, and other types of ag buildings. Current zoning is AG 40 which may change to residential as housing encroachment occurs. Municipal sewer will eventually serve this area as evidenced by the development occurring to the south of the subject property. However, it may be a decade or more before connection occurs.
