I. EXISTING LAND USE <br /> The existing ]and is currently grazing land with sparse native grass cover. <br /> j Previous use was also probably grazing land. No structures are on the property. <br /> The is a well and pressure tank located at the east end of parcel 1_ <br /> SOILS <br /> Soils data was obtained from the "SOIL SURVEY OF SAN JOAQUIN <br /> COUNTY, CALIFORNIA", Issued October, 1992. <br /> The Northwest portion of parcel l,parcels 2 and 3 <br /> The soils map indicates that the soil type for these parcels is Redding Gravelly <br /> Loam. Typically, the upper part of the surface layer is a strong brown gravelly <br /> loam.The lower part is a reddish yellow gravelly loam. The upper subsoil is a <br /> claypan of reddish brown clay. The lower portion is a reddish yellow and yellowish <br /> ( red, indurated hardpan. <br /> The Southeast portion of parcel 1 is Redding Loam. <br /> Typically, the upper part of the surface layer is a light brown loam. The lower part <br /> is a yellowish red loam. The upper part of the subsoil is a claypan of yellowish red <br /> clay. The Iower part is a reddish yellow, indurated, silica-cemented hardpan_ Some <br /> t, areas of the surface layer are gravelly loam. <br /> r The areas along the creek on all the parcels is Yellowlark Gravelly Loam. <br /> } Typically, the surface layer is a pale brown and reddish yellow gravelly loam. <br /> The subsoil is a reddish yellow, reddish brown, and strong brown gravelly loam, <br /> gravelly clay loam, and a claypan of strong brown and light yellowish brown, <br /> gravelly clay. The lower portion is a weakly cemented hardpan. <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> Based on the test results and the performance of the septic systems in the area, it is <br /> my opinion that the subject parcels may be suitable for any proposed septic <br /> systems. <br /> Per San Joaquin County ordinance, The maximum depth for dry wells (pits)is 25 <br /> feet. Since the depth to groundwater is 170+/-, per San Joaquin County's semi- <br /> annual groundwater report, the dry wells will be 135+/-feet above the <br /> groundwater elevation. <br /> Based on this information, any future septic systems should not adversly affect the <br /> groundwater in the area. <br /> i <br />
