r. <br /> [5] LOCAL GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER INFORMATION <br /> V <br /> During the course of our subsurface exploratory boring, we <br /> encountered groundwater at 11 feet. This groundwater elevation <br /> (standing water) has remained fairly stable over the course of our <br /> study. This shallow groundwater can be attributed to the proximity <br /> of the subject parcel to the Red Bridge slough and the Stanislaus <br /> River. Also, there is a tremendous amount of recharge that is <br /> �- occurring from regional agricultural irrigation. Irrigation <br /> practices and locations should be taken into consideration in the <br /> design of any proposed septic system. <br /> Although the two comparatively large bodies of water referenced <br /> above are in the proximity of the subject parcel, the location of <br /> Parcel *1 where the SFR will be constructed, should not have any <br /> impact upon the quality of these surface waters. <br /> A water sample was taken from a domestic well, 600 ft to the west <br /> of the percolation test borings (SWC of Division Road and Two <br /> Rivers Road) . The analytical results are located in the Appendix, <br /> and reveal an extremely low nitrate (NO3) concentration level of <1 <br /> ppm. The maximum contaminant level for nitrate is 45 ppm. It can <br /> be concluded that there has been very little impact upon the <br /> underlying groundwater in this sampled area with regard to nitrate <br /> contamination from agricultural influences or surrounding septic <br /> �- systems. <br /> L,. <br /> V <br /> i.. <br /> 3 <br /> ��i Quality (Pow"'I J*V"tion <br />
