Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report*APN: 207-290-03& 16*Parcel At?. 1,2, 3,4&Des.Rem. From 8 to 22 inches the soil is somewhat redder than the surface and it is compact. From 22 to 34 inches the soil becomes more yellowish and the prismatic structure is more pronounced. Some lime is usually encountered and the pH is 7.7. From 34 to 49 inches, there is silica or lime cemented hardpan or yellowish- or brownish-gray color, which contains some lime near the surface. Below the hardpan is a pale brown,massive, slightly calcareous, sandy loam. It is in very gently sloping or gently undulating lower terraces topography. Surface drainage is good. The dense hardpan layers restrict subsoil drainage. The University of California publication entitled"Soils of San Joaquin County, California,United States Department of Agricultural Soil Conservation Service", issued October 1992, lists two(2) soil series that may be encountered on the subject property. The two(2) series listed are Honcut Sandy Loam and Madera-Alamo Complex with the Honcut Sandy Loam soil classification being the dominant material present. HONCUT SANDY LOAM Honcut Sandy Loam is a very deep, well-drained soil on alluvial fans. Typically the surface layer is brown and yellowish-brown sandy loam. In some areas the surface layer is fine sandy loam, coarse sandy loam or gravelly sandy loam. Permeability is moderately rapid and available water capacity is moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow and the hazard of water erosion is slight. The rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 1.5 inches per hour. The hazard of soil blowing is moderate. The soil is good for irrigated crops, orchard and vineyards. Land management considerations include the hazard of wind blowing. Chiseling or sub soiling of the soil breaks up the hardpan. There are few limitations for homesite development. MADERA-ALAMO COMPLEX This soil is nearly level on low terraces. The native vegetation is mainly annual grasses. It is composed of about 65 percent Madera Sandy Loam and 20 percent an Alamo soil that has overburden of sandy loam. The components of this soil occur as areas that are intermingled. Ine T. rh,tm Tr -----99707(hnnmc RnAd -----()akdalP-----rAlifnmia 95161 7
