The date of the last inspection of the property was June 14, 2006. Section 9-905.12 of San Joaquin County Development Title states "Corrective Action: If the report indicates there are surface and subsurface contamination, corrective action shall be recommended in the report and concurred with by Environmental Health prior to the issuance of the building permit." Therefore, it is my professional opinion that no corrective action is required on the two proposed Parcels that are to compose the subject property. The probability of subsurface contamination from pesticides,or other types of agrichemicals, can be considered extremely low-to-nonexistent. The depth to groundwater of 150 feet would make impact from adverse constituents a much lower probability in comparison to a shallow groundwater depth. Page -6- / Chesney Consulting
