• SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Janet Willett to conduct <br /> a Soil Suitability Study for her property located at 13822 South Escalon-Bellota Road <br /> and 26050 East Edwards Avenue, Escalon, California (Plate 1). <br /> The Soil Suitability Study was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable for <br /> use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of <br /> Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development Code. <br /> The formatting of the report has been designed to follow the recommendations of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil <br /> Suitability Study Requirements Checklist. <br /> Proposed DeveloRment <br /> A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into four parcels and a designated <br /> remainder for inheritance purposes (Plate 2). The Site has been recently planted with <br /> almond orchard. Ms. Willett indicated that no construction is planned. <br /> • Site Description <br /> The Site consists of Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APN) 207-320-09, approximately 119 <br /> acres in size. It is located at 13822 South Escalon-Bellota Road and 26050 East <br /> Edwards Road, Escalon, California. The Site is newly planted orchard with a house, <br /> shop/garage, pump house, Quonset but and small rice dryer building (Plate 3). A <br /> domestic well provides water to the house. Irrigation water is provided by the Oakdale <br /> Irrigation District. <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 115 feet above mean sea level (Plate 4). The Site is relatively <br /> flat. <br /> The San Joaquin County Community Development Department web site states that the <br /> Site is AL-10, limited agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 10 acres. This zoning <br /> designation "is intended to recognize and preserve areas that contain existing <br /> concentrations of small-scale agricultural operations and dwellings." <br /> LOGE 1834 Page 1 <br />
