w Parcel A will contain the existing three mobile homes and domestic well. A new residential structure is proposed to be built on this future Parcel. Parcel B, Parcel C and Parcel D are also proposed to have new residential structures eventually built on them, each with their own wells and septic systems. Mr.Nahas has stated that these homes will be for his children and grandchildren. The two existing Parcels now contain organically grown walnut trees, along with organically grown row crops such as fava beans, garbanzo beans, broccoli, tomatoes and cauliflower. In addition to the referenced improvements, there is an irrigation well on proposed property line between proposed Parcel B and Parcel C. ! Irrigation water is supplied through drip lines. The domestic and irrigation wells will be discussed in greater detail in Section 5.1 of this report. Three separate septic systems serve the aforementioned mobile homes. The land use is applicable to the zoning of Agriculture- Low Density, AL-5 and the zoning will also allow five acre Parcels to be created. ✓ky§ 1.2 A description of proposed development is to create four Parcels from two existing Parcels, through a Minor Subdivision. As referenced,the purpose of this Report is to fulfill the requirements of the EHD in this regard. The Tentative Map has been completed by Mr. Mike Farley of Farley's Surveying, Inc. and can be found in Appendix A. The subject property is in a predominately agricultural region on the west side of Jack Tone Road, and directly north of the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD)underground aqueduct. Surrounding residential structures are very sparse. There are no industry or commercial operations that may contribute to environmental contamination in the 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. dp§ 1.3 The Parcel Viewer location maps denoting the subject property location are also found in Appendix A. § 1.4 An aerial view Google Map shows the location of the referenced structures, roads, a pond on the west end of the property, and orchard trees. The Google map shows the EBMUD easement to be East Tokay Colony Road. This is obviously incorrect. Two electrical transformers - one newer and one old, are located near the southwest corner of proposed Parcel A, next to the EBMUD easement. The new transformer probably does not contain PCBs. It is somewhat unlikely the older transformer contains PCBs. There is a long, rectangular pond at the west end of the property that is used to capture rainwater runoff. Photos in Appendix D show the pond to have a reddish Cyanobacteria/ F algae on the surface which demonstrates that there are some nutrients in the water. These 5 nutrients may be attributable to organic fertilizer compounds, primarily chicken manure (also shown in the photographic plates). Stormwater from the residential portions of the property drain into the surrounding open land. + Page -3- Chesney Consulting E i _
