1. INTRODUCTION <br /> Dillon & Murphy was retained by Mary Ellen Estrada, to perform a soil suitability study <br /> for the Estrada property located at 20326 E. Brandt Road, Lodi, CA. The subject parcel number <br /> is APN 053-200-08. The purpose of the study is to determine the suitability of the property for <br /> septic tank usage as well as testing the groundwater for certain chemicals as required by the <br /> County. The study was performed according to the requirements of Section 10100 of San <br /> Joaquin County Development Code. <br /> II. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT <br /> The property is currently zoned AG-40. The Estrada property consists of a 340.3-acre <br /> parcel (see appendix for map). It is proposed to divide four 42.5 acre parcels from the existing <br /> 340.3-acre property plus a remainder. There is an existing home on Parcel 3. The proposed split <br /> is being done as a minor ubdivision to create four 42.5 acre homesite parcels plus a remainder. <br /> III. PRESENT AND PAST USE OF THE SITE <br /> Presently, Parcel 3 is a homesite. Parcels 1,2, 4, and the remainder are bare land used as <br /> grazing land for cattle. This is the historical use of the land. <br /> IV. EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE <br /> There is an existing septic system located on homesite Parcel 3. There are no septic <br /> systems located on Parcels 1,2, and 4. Any future homesite on Parcels 1,2, and 4 would require a <br /> septic system consisting of a septic tank and leach field. It was difficult to locate a neighbor at <br /> home to check on performance of septic tank in this area. However, there is no record of septic <br /> system failure. <br /> V. GROUND WATER AND DEPTH TESTING <br />_ According to the map of"Lines of Equal Depth to Water in Wells" published fall, 1990, <br /> by the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conversation District, the depth to <br /> groundwater at this location is approximately 150 feet. <br /> (See the appendix for the ground water gradient.) <br /> There is an existing well on Parcel 3 as shown in the appendix. This well has been tested <br /> for DBCP and nitrates (see appendix for results). <br /> V <br /> s <br /> -1- <br />
