Property development was located on the subject property at the time of our site reconnaissance. One residence including a detached barn/shop was located within the proposed Parcel 2. There is also a storage shed located adjacent to the barn found on Parcel 2. Approximate locations of these dwellings can be found on the attached parcel map(s). Most of the property is fallow covered with natural grasses and foxtails. The property contains two (2) access roads, presently. One located on the middle of the property off Grant Line Avenue leading North into the middle of the proposed Parcel 2 (this road is the main access road leading to the existing residence. The other is located at the Southeast comer of the lot and extends to the North, running perpendicular to Byron Road. The subject property also has existing utilities on site for electricity, telephone and natural gas. The property is enclosed by fencing and is only bounded by the neighboring properties to the West and East, a drainage ditch to the South (which does not appear to drain onto property), Byron Road to the Northeast and Grant Line Road to the South. The owner of the property does not appear to have any domesticated animals. No cattle were observed grazing on the property. The majority of the subject property appears to be used for simple farming and disking/plowing equipment staging. The property appeared to have been disked a short time ago and left to grow naturally through the winter months. There were no crops growing currently on the subject property at this time. Mr. Pereira appears to stage his disking equipment on Parcel 2 until he has use for it on other fields where this service is performed for others. The subject property contained approximately 7 tractors and approximately 50-100 miscellaneous attachable disking/plowing pieces of farm equipment. The barn on the property also appears as a location for minor repairs of the associated equipment. Regional Groundwater Elevation: The San Joaquin County and Water Conservation District Spring 1999 Regional Groundwater Report shows the depth to groundwater within the surrounding area at about 37.4-feet below the ground surface. Surficial Soil Characteristics: The University of California publication entitled "Soils of San Joaquin County, California" (October 1992). This agricultural study lists the soil type on the subject property to a shallow depth as "Stomar Clay Loam", level to 2% slope. Permeability is described as slow with a water intake in irrigated areas being about 0.1 inch per hour. The Storie Index for the soil is listed at 68 and the soil has a water erosion rating of slight. The color variations at various levels below the ground surface are noted as follows: Typically the surface layer is a grayish brown clay and about 17" thick. The upper 30" of the subsurface is brown clay loam and clay. The lower part to a depth of 60-inches is a yellowish brown clay loam. The soil is calcareous below a depth ` of 17 inches and in some areas the surface layer is silty clay loam or loam \r' THOMAS PEREIRA PROPERTY at 15345 Grant Line Road,Tracy,CA 95304 Page 3
