Wastewater The applicant has proposed the use of an on-site domestic water and wastewater system to serve the needs of the proposed labor camp. The water system will consist of the following: an on-site well; an on- site ground storage tank; domestic booster pumps through a hydropneumatic tank to the distribution system; and fire booster pumps for hydrant flow and building sprinkler systems. Prior to construction, the system will be reviewed by the Environmental Health Division and the Fire District/Marshal to ensure that the system is adequate for the proposed project. Land Use The project is being proposed on a 20-acre area of an 80-acre parcel. To minimize impacts with the surrounding land uses, the project is proposed to be located on the middle of the parcel, approximately 1300 feet to the south of Harney Lane. The applicant has also proposed to provide a 200-foot buffer between the project and the western property line and a 500-foot buffer between the project and the southern property line. Development Title Section 9-605.2 states that a farm labor camp may be permitted in the AG-40 zone with an approved Use Permit. Neighborhood Opposition The Community Development received 100 letters in opposition to the proposed Use Permit. in summary, the opponents have raised the following concerns: 1. Increased traffic on Harney Lane; 2. Already one labor camp in the area,- 3. rea;3. Will lead to a decrease in property values; 4. Will cause social problems such as drug use, drinking, gambling, and prostitution; 5. Increased water use will overdraft the aquifer; and 6. Potential contamination of ground and surface water from sewage disposal. With respect to the potential increase in traffic, as stated above, a traffic study has been completed which concluded that the project would not adversely impact traffic conditions on area roads. The applicant is proposing to construct a package sewage treatment plant to provide sanitary sewage disposal. Prior to construction, the system will be reviewed by the Environmental Health Division and the Fire District/Marshal to ensure that the system is adequate for the proposed project. There has also been no evidence submitted to substantiate that the proposed use will overdraft the aquifer. San Joaquin County Community Development UP-98-1 Page Paage 4
