05 November 2014 <br /> AGE Project No. 14-3119 <br /> Page 5 of 17 <br /> The church building is to have two bathrooms (sink and toilet) to accommodate the <br /> employees and potential visitors. A kitchen with appliances has been proposed. Waste <br /> products related to the use of the facility for cooking and limited dishwashing is proposed <br /> and will be disposed of through the septic system. <br /> Visitors will be 99 when the church is completed and an estimated 25 hours per week <br /> operating schedule. The estimated rate of visitors per day is 50 to 99 people. The <br /> reasonable or maximum usage of the two bathroom facility by any customer is 100 <br /> percent. <br /> The average and reasonable usage of three to five gallons per day per person typical for <br /> a visitor to a church setting. Staff for the proposed church will consist of up to five people <br /> working a 25 hour work week (three days a week). The average and reasonable usage <br /> of 5 gallons per day per person typical for a worker at a commercial location/church <br /> setting. <br /> 4.0. GROUNDWATER INFORMATION - REGIONAL HYDROGEOLOGY <br /> The Geologic Map of California, published in 1966 by the California Department of <br /> Conservation Division of Mines and Geology, shows the site area within the Great Valley <br /> Syncline (GVS), a large, elongate, northwest trending structural trough. The GVS is <br /> subdivided into two major divisions designated the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, <br /> which have been filled to the present elevation with thick sequences of sediment ranging <br /> in age from Jurassic to present day, creating a nearly flat-lying alluvial plain extending <br /> from the Tehachapi Mountains in the south to the Klamath Mountains in the north. The <br /> western and eastern boundaries of this province are comprised of the California Coast <br /> Range and the Sierra Nevada, respectively. Geologically, the area around the subject <br /> property generally consists of Holocene-aged flood-basin deposits of clay, silt, and sand. <br /> Miocene to Holocene age-units are located in the surrounding area. <br /> These deposits are heterogeneous mix of generally poorly sorted clay, silt, sand, and <br /> gravel with some beds of claystone, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate (Page, <br /> 1986). Most of the fresh ground water in the Central Valley is contained in the post- <br /> Eocene-aged continental rocks and deposits and in the Holocene-aged river deposits <br /> consisting of gravel, sand, silt, and minor amounts of clay. In general, these geologic <br /> materials comprise a major widespread aquifer extending hundreds of feet deep and <br /> occasionally containing individual confining layers. The Modesto, Riverbank, Turlock <br /> Lake Formations and overlying recent alluvium are the principal source of domestic <br /> ground water in the 13,500-square mile San Joaquin Valley Ground Water Basin (Basin <br /> 5-22). This basin is drained primarily by the San Joaquin River, which is approximately <br /> 15 miles north of the subject property. The nearest surface water feature in the vicinity of <br /> the property is the Old River, located approximately 2,750 feet northeast of the property. <br /> Admnced GcoE.iironmentsl,Inc. <br />
