(§ 1.0) INTRODUCTION This Soil Suitability Study presents the results of our investigation concerriin ,the sol characteristics and groundwater under the subject property referenced`on the Title Pa ie. was completed to satisfy the requirements of the San Joaquin Environmental Health De artmentOur �y (EHD);.specifically:I.)7o'determine if the four Parcels that are proposed to be subdivided acceptable for the proper operation of a septic system which will function as intended for its �e anticipated lifespan;and 2.) 'on and recommendaiions based-upon the environmental i criteria encountered in this study. Our report is in compliance with the requirements for a Soil Suitability Study under Development Title Section 9-1105.2 Item d of the i Ordinance Codes. {. ) San Joaquin County Within the text of this Report;.bolded Section. _- applicable sentence,-paragraph or Appendix that co e b and with treferencedlbe at the beginning of an for Soil Suitability Studies. he EHD Requirements Checklist (§ 2.1, 4.2-and 4.4) Two well water constituerits are typically sampled for EHD requirements: nitrate and the agrichemical DBCP (Dibrbmochloropropane). The surrounding, and on-site land use around this project was grassland before the planting of the on-site vineyard and the planting of surrounding agricultural crops. However, since there is vineyard-prodtisubject property, it is EHD's prudon currently on the ent policy to test the well for DBCP to ensure it is not present: (§ 2.0) SUBJECT SITE AND STUDY AREA-BACKGROUND INFORMATION _ (§ 1.1 and 1:2) The purpose of this project is to create four new parcels from a total area of 9.7 T acres, and propose to construct single family residential-(SFR) structures on proposed Parcels 2, 3 - and-4, which are currently vacant. The Welch's-residence a sea container, and domestic.well cu , septic system,-.a small wooden structure,__ rrently exist on proposed Parcel 1. Thein is no proposal to _ - build a second unit dwelling on Parcel 1. Each parcel area and orientations are denoted on the_ attached Tentative Map, found in Appendix A. (§ 3.7) It is possible EHD would support second unit dwellings on proposed Parcels 2, 3 and 4, for a total of seven septic systems on the subject property. . (§ 1.1-and 2.1) The subject property is near the small town of Peters, one-quarter mile north of Copperopolis Road. Surrounding property-use consists predominately of low density single family ' residences, farmland, orchards, ranchettes,`horse ranches;and other,_types of ag buildings-°` The subject property is currently zoned rural residential. Municipal sewer.will probably never serve this area, or at-leas't not for several decades. Any of the above land use could create environmental concerns that maybe discovered in the future..- = " As depicted on the attached USGS Map and the Tentative Map, the topography of the site is 91 feet above MSL, with a very slight land declinatiori toward the southwest.-Therefore, septic.system design criteria for slopes do not have to be considered. — -Pa e -l- - Chesney ConsuCtilzg r.- . .
