FREDERICK ROAD <br /> RIPON, CALIFORNIA <br /> Reference: Kleinfelder "Soil Suitability And Nitrate Loading Study, UP-00-10, <br /> California Nuggets, Inc, Ripon, California," Project No. 31917.G01, <br /> November 11, 2003 <br /> Dear Ms. Gikas: <br /> As requested, this letter was prepared as a supplemental report to our referenced soil <br /> suitability and nitrate loading study. The purpose of our study was to determine the <br /> suitability of the property for septic tank usage. The study was performed in general <br /> accordance to the requirements of Section 9-10100© of San Joaquin County <br /> Ordinance. The following comments were prepared as responses to the sections of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department soil suitability and nitrate <br /> loading study requirement checklist that were found not to have been met in the <br /> referenced report in 2003 (service request no. SR0036443). <br /> Soil Suitability Study Comments <br /> Section 2.1- Study does not mention facility was once an egg processing plant. The <br /> subject project site was, at one time, an egg processing facility. Poultry were not bred <br /> at the project site; however, eggs were delivered to the site, cleaned, packaged, and <br /> shipped. <br /> Section 4.2 Study, Section 4, is very vague as to types and quantities of fertilizers <br /> normally applied to orchards and how this nitrogen will affect nitrates in the <br /> groundwater. As indicated by the propertt s former owner (Dr. Stephen Endsley), the <br /> orchards located on the subject site were not actively farmed or sprayed with fertilizers. <br /> 50890.E02/STO6R1062 Page 1 of 3 <br /> ©2006 Kleinfelder, Inc October 3,2006 <br /> KLEINFELDER 2825 East Myrtle Street, Stockton, CA 95205-4794 (209) 948-1345 12091 948-0621 tax <br />
