CoppP ero olis Road Linden CA 95236 RE: 4391 S. Escalon Bellotta Road (APN 187-130-10 & 06), Farming Dear Sirs: Thank you for meeting with Supervisor Vogel and representatives from our staff on November 26, 2007, regarding the Site Approval application (PA-0600171) for your proposed project at the above referenced property. The meeting was arranged by Supervisor Vogel to discuss the reasons why the Environmental Health Department (EHD) has not been able to approve the project and to explore alternative solutions. The meeting was also attended by Mr. Joe Spano of the California Department of Public Health, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management(DDWEM). As explained by Ms. Heran, EHD Director, and her staff, the project has not been approved, because the Farmington Water Company currently cannot provide your property and the proposed use, with a reliable source of potable water meeting the quantity and quality standards of the California Safe Drinking Water Act. Although the Farmington Water Company has applied for and meets criteria for State Revolving Fund (SRF) monies for replacement wells and distribution system improvements,'it is not certain when the improvements will be in place. Mr. Spano commented on the SRF process and possible time frames for funding of the water system improvements. At the meeting, it was determined that the most viable alternative would be to install a temporary public water system well on the project property. Since the well would be serving at least 25 or more individuals at least 60 days out of the year, it would meet the definition of a Transient Noncommunity Public Water System (TNCWS). The location (relative to separation distances from septic systems, storm ponds and underground fuel tanks) and construction of the well must comply with the San Joaquin County Well Standards and the Water Well Standards of the State of California, contained in Bulletin 74-81: The well must meet the bacteriological and chemical water quality standards of the California Safe Drinking Water Act for a TNCWS. A permit to operate the Public Water System, issued by the EHD, would be required prior to operation. The EHD agreed to provide you with the application requirements for a permit to operate a TNCWS, water quality testing requirements, set back or separation distance requirements for placement of the well, and copies of any septic system permits in our file for nearby properties. Enclosed are the TNCWS permit application forms, the set back requirements for placement of the well, copies of septic system permits for nearby properties, and a map showing the approximate location of the septic tanks, leach lines and seepage pits on the nearby properties, as drawn on the permit maps.
