INTRODUCTION Fsatisfy ility Study presents the results of our investigation concerning the soil strata and der the subject property referenced on the Title Page. Our study was completed uirements of the San Joaquin Environmental Health Department, specifically: 1.) To determine if the homesite Parcel (Parcel 1) that is being split-off remains acceptable for the proper operation of a septic system which will function for its anticipated lifespan, 2.) Test water from on-site domestic wells for nitrate and the agrichemical DBCP/EDB, 3.)Address Item "C" of the EHD's Condition of Approval regarding steam cleaning, and�.`1Provide recommendations based upon the environmental criteria encountered in this study. Our report is in compliance with the requirements for a Soil Suitability Study under Development Title Section 9-1105.2 Item(d) of the San Joaquin County Ordinance Codes. SUBJECT SITE AND STUDY AREA BACKGROUND INFORMATION The subject property is the home base for the Pereira Farming Company. Having observed hundreds of farming operations throughout San Joaquin County and the San Joaquin Valley, we find the Pereira Fanning Company to be operated with a high degree of professionalism and cleanliness. The purpose of this project is to create a new parcel. The subject property is I? currently zoned Agriculture-40 (AG 40) and will consist of two Parcels: Parcel "I" which �w• currently has an existing homesite with a well and septic system, and related agricultural �q buildings. Thes�%uildings belong to Pereira Farming and do not contain their own well and (_ septic sv to _ Thi P reel 'c specified to be 5 acme—c The remazmng Parcel is referenced as the "DESIGNATED REMAINDER" and will be 46.5 acres. The attached Tentative Parcel Map illustrates the designations and orientation of the subject Parcels. Currently, the Designated Remainder is fallow, but is being prepared for planting. As noted on the Tentative Parcel Map, there are no buildings on the Designated Remainder and the Map also illustrates a separate Parcel next to Parcel 1, which is Tom Pereira's homesite Parcel. The topography of the site has a land declination toward the north-northeast starting with 38 feet above MSL in the SWC to 26 feet MSL at the NEC. Design criteria for slopes do not have to be considered if a second unit dwelling is built. On-site stormwater drainage flows to the north, east and west from Parcel I onto the surrounding cropland. Additionally, there is an irrigation ditch which traverses Parcel 1. Drainage does not appear to affect the existing septic system. The property is not subject to the 100-year flood. The property is located west of the city of Tracy, north of Interstate 205 and consists predominately of agricultural production land-primarily pasture and row crops. Surrounding structures consist of very low density single family housing, residential ranchettes, bams and a Sikh Temple. Sewer hookups for the structures on this section of Grant Line Road to the City of Tracy will be decades away and may never occur. Page -- Chesney Consuh*g
