The entire subject properties are composed of the Faria Dairy and associated structures/land (i.e., milk barn, holding pond, open and covered corrals, cropland, etc.), two mobile homes for workers and a single family residential structure. There are no proposals to construct any new buildings or changes to existing buildings. The existing Parcels have been historically farmed in dairy feed crops, predominately corn and winter feed mix. Irrigation water is supplied by two on-site irrigation wells, through flood and furrow irrigation. Two domestic wells are also on the property to serve the milk barn, and the other well to serve the residential structures. The land use is applicable to the zoning of Agriculture - General Agriculture, AG-40. Zoning is not anticipated to change. § 1.2 A description of proposed development is to create two Parcels from two existing Parcels, 11 as depicted on the Tentative Map. As referenced,the purpose of this report is to fulfill the requirements of the EHD for the completion of an SSCR. The Tentative Map has been completed by Giuliani& Kull and is found in Appendix A. The subject property is in a predominately agricultural region northwest of the town of Escalon. Surrounding residential structures are very sparse. There are no industry or commercial operations that may contribute to environmental contamination in direct vicinity of the subject property. Environmental conditions and operations that presently occur, or may take place on the property in the future, will be in strict compliance with applicable Codes and Regulations of the County, State and Federal governments. § 1.3 The District Viewer location maps and a Google aerial photograph denoting the subject ( ) property location are also found in Appendix A. Photos in Appendix D show all items referenced in this report. § 1.4 An aerial view Google Map shows the location of the referenced dairy, residential structure, barns,residences, and the subject and surrounding agricultural production land. 04) There are two relatively new electrical transformers located on the property, which most likely do not contain PCB laden oil. If these transformers were to leak, it would be the 3 responsibility of the owner(PG&E)to mitigate any environmental hazards. There is a dairy holding pond containment structure on the property, directly south of the freestall barn. Stormwater from the residential portion of the property drain into the surrounding open land. The residential structures each have their own septic tank and leachfields. Regarding flood information, Giuliani and Kull will determine flood potential, which should be nonexistent. § 2.0 PAST, PRESENT AND PROPOSED FUTURE USES OF THE SITE §2.1 Past uses of the property have been as agricultural production land consisting of dryland and irrigated crop farming. The entire Faria Dairy facility and cropland are under the Regional Water Quality Control Board's Dairy General Order and is closely monitored (Z 1 for compliance by Innovative Ag Services of Tulare CA. Anticipated future use of the property will remain as a dairy and feed-crop production land, and existing single family residential use. Page -3-
