SOIL SUITABILITY AND NITRATE LOADING STUDY FOR UNITED METHODIST CHURCH LODI, CALIFORNIA 1 .0 INTRODUCTION This document provides an evaluation of soil suitability for septic facilities and a nitrate loading study for the proposed United Methodist Church (Church) to be located on a 5-acre parcel (the property) at 1 1011 Micke Grove Road in Lodi, California (Figure 11. The first phase of construction activities will convert the residence currently on the property into a church for approximately 65 people. The septic system serving the residence on the property will be expanded to accommodate wastewater generated by the initial 65 people who will use the church for approximately 4 hours on a weekly basis, and two office staff who will work on the premises approximately 5 days per week, 8 hours per day (Phase 1 ). In the second phase of work (Phase 2), additional church facilities, including additional buildings, will be built over a period of time. A new septic system will be constructed to treat wastewater produced by 250 people for weekly services after the Phase 2 construction has been completed. Section 2 of this document presents a history of the property, Section 3 presents regional soil and groundwater information, and Section 4 presents local soil and groundwater information. Section 5 summarizes an evaluation of the on-site soils and Section 6 presents a study of the liquid and nitrate loadings rates associated with the initial and maximum proposed septic system use at the property. Section 7 presents the conclusions and recommendations of this evaluation of the current septic facility and the planned expansion of the septic facilities for the property. 2.0 BACKGROUND This section provides a brief history of the property. Land use history will be documented with particular attention to the current septic system. SAC 125.12 1 DAMES & MOORE
