Soil Suitability Study** APN: 207-290-10**Parcel 1=10.08 Acres,Parcel 2, 3 & 4= 14108 Henry Road, Oakdale CA, 95361 *** 10.00 Acres,40.08 Acres Total the new owners or any of the planned four(4) parcels could be developed first and then sold. Ezistine Septic Systems: Existing San Joaquin County records of septic system permits in the immediate area of the subject property were reviewed. A total of nine(9) septic permits were reviewed. Four(4)of the nine (9)reviewed permits were for systems installed along Grooms Road and the remaining five(5)were for systems installed along Henry Road. Two(2)of the four(4)permits reviewed along Grooms Road were for installing leach fields consisting of either two (2)or three(3) leach lines varying in length from seventy(70)to ninety(90)feet long. The remaining two(2)permits were for installing leach lines varying from forty(40)to ninety(90) feet long with either 4'x 8'x10' or 4'x10'xl2' sumps at their ends. The four(4)Grooms Road permits listed three types of soils. The soil types listed were sand/sandy loam, sandy loam and clay loam. One permit did not list a soil type. Two(2)of the five(5)permits reviewed along Henry Road were for installing leach fields consisting either two(2)or three (3) leech lines varying from seventy(70)to eighty(80) feet long. The remaining three(3) permits reviewed consisted of one(1) or two(2)leach lines varying from 40' to 127' long with sumps varying from 2'x10'xl5', 4'x8'xl0', 4'x 10'x 12', and 4'x 10'x15' at their ends. The five(5)Henry Road permits listed three(3)types of soils. The soil types listed were sand, clay loam and hardpan. No permits were noted for repairing any of the facilities subsequent to their installation. From the historical septic records there is no indication of septic contamination problems. Soil Character: The University of California publication entitled"Soils of San Joaquin County, California", by Walter W. Weir, dated June 1952, identifies the soil on the subject property to be mainly Hanford Sandy Loam with some Madera Sandy Loam. HANFORD SANDY LOAM Hanford Soils are recent alluvial deposits from grinitic and similar quartz bearing miscellaneous rock sources. They are developed under medium to low rainfall,which occurs during mild winters followed by long dry summers. They are neutral to slightly basic in reaction and are medium to fine textured. They are similar to Grangeville soils except that they are less compact in the upper topsoil and have better drainage. The surface soil of Hanford Sandy Loam is brown to light brown, open and permeable. The surface soil contains transparent isinglass. It can be readily worked into a seedbed; drainage is good and the reaction is about neutral. Gene Benedix, 30407 Grooms Road,Oakdale CA 95361 3
