Our report addresses and evaluates non-point sources of hazardous materials, as well as potential point sources. Non-point sources of hazardous materials include agricultural chemical residues and high nitrate concentrations in the underlying groundwater. Point sources investigated that may have affected the subject property include industrial sites and production facilities, fuel storage tanks, storage areas and septic systems. No chemical analysis was conducted for this investigation,nor was there an inspection of any on- site residential buildings and older structures on the property for asbestos containing materials (ACMs). Since there are no municipal water and sewer utility hookups available,the proposed parcel created from this land subdivision will be on domestic well and on-site septic system.

These buildings include an old dairy milk bam, two storage buildings, and a hay barn. The old dairy milk barn serves as the business office for Ms. Prouty's business newspaper publication, The Fickle Nickel Press. Three-fourths of the property is open pasture land which is irrigated by South San Joaquin Irrigation District conveyance. The property is currently zoned agricultural, and is surrounded by properties that have been farmed for many decades. There may be an ingress/egress easement on the east side of the property. The site is bordered to the north and to the south by farm land. To the northwest is also open land and single family residences,with commercial and industrial facilities further north and west. The neighborhood area has existed for at least nine decades and some buildings to the northwest in the town of French Camp are older. The region has been dry-land farmed since the middle-to-late 1800s. It became irrigated farmed in 1918. There has been agricultural production on, and in the vicinity of the subject property since this time. The property is located 4000 feet south of French Camp Slough.
