<br /> RE: Soil Suitability Study For 3974 E. Liberty Rd,Galt
<br /> Land Use Application#PA-02-489(MS)
<br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD)has reviewed the Soil Suitability Study,dated April
<br /> 16,2003,and has the following comments for your consideration.
<br /> The review of the Soil Suitability Study has revealed several issues in need of clarification and explanation. These items
<br /> are listed below for your reference.
<br /> • Please provide an updated parcel map showing the locations of all passing percolation tests,the current on-site
<br /> well*and septic,the new home,and the drainage course located at the north end of the parcels.
<br /> • Please provide additional information regarding the water sampling,specifically the location of the well(shown
<br /> on a map),the type of well,the location of sample collection(well head,spigot,etc.),the methods used to
<br /> collect,store, and transport the sample,the condition of the sample at the laboratory,etc.
<br /> • Please provide the readings for the 3/6/2003 percolation test#2.
<br /> • Please provide additional discussion on the type,size and siting of future potential septic systems on these
<br /> parcels taking into consideration the shallow soil lithology noted at the site,the failed shallow percolation tests,
<br /> the high rate of septic repairs noted in the general area,and the drainage course located at the north portion of the
<br /> parcels. In addition,please provide supplementary discussion on the proposed 8,000 square foot leach field area
<br /> taking into consideration the shallow soil lithology noted at the site,the failed shallow percolation tests,the high
<br /> rate of septic repairs noted in the general area,and the drainage course located at the north portion of the parcels.
<br /> Please be advised that the leach field requirements in the San Joaquin County Sewage Standards are minimum
<br /> standards and site-specific information,as obtained from required studies,may indicate more restrictive
<br /> requirements.
<br /> Please provide an addendum to the Soil Suitability Study addressing the items noted above to the EHD prior to the
<br /> recordation of the parcel map. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this letter in more detail,please contact
<br /> Linda Turkatte,Lead Senior REHS at(209)468-3441.
