Existing and Proposed Septic Tank Usage Existing Septic System No septic systems exist on the Site. Proposed Septic System According to Mr. McManis, no new construction is planned for the Site. However, County regulations permit new homes to be placed on Parcels 1 and 2 at some point in the future. Any new residences would utilize new septic systems. On-Site Septic Permit History Three permits related to septic systems for the Site address were identified at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. However, these permits refer to an area which is outside the current project Site. Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity To estimate the existing septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that exist within approximately four square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery from GoogleEarthTM was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that five or more septic systems per square mile are present in the immediate vicinity of the Site. The general area consists of vineyard, grazing land, and irrigated pasture. A commercial nursery is located to the southeast. Septic Permit History in the Vicinity Based on a recent review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach lines and seepage pits; one permit indicated a system with leach lines and sumps. The septic permits can be found in Appendix 4 of this report. Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage Maximum expected septic usage on the Site would be from any future residential uses. No construction is planned at this time. Septic system design should be based on the On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) or other engineering recommendations. LOGE 1104 Page 2
