i Possible Sewaae Disposal On-site Use: San Joaquin County Public Health Services Environmental Health Division septic permit applications were reviewed. Over 25 permit applications were reviewed in the general vicinity of the subject property involving a period from 1955 through 1999. No permits were found for the subject property. Since the property has no buildings of any type located on it now nor has it been known to have any, the property in question does not appear to have any likely contamination from previous sewage disposal on-site. Consequently, a source of nitrate contaminants from sewage disposal is not indicated. Discussion - Potential Contaminant Sources: It is assumed that if chemical contamination was present on the subject property it would most likely come from past agricultural operations using pesticides and herbicides. However, it appears that no agricultural products have been used or produced on this property for the last 5-years. No surface evidence was observed to indicate that these sources were used on site, or from previous site use. Conclusions: A surface reconnaissance was performed on Wednesday, June 20, 2001 to observe present property conditions and observed for indications of on-site contaminant sources. It is our understanding that the land has had some previous agricultural use and that the owners are considering a change in land use. In our opinion, due to the absence of indications of servicing or repair of farm equipment areas, surface or subsurface fuel storage tanks, pesticides storage and their storage/service areas, or development of residences or farm buildings, the subject property does not appear to have been contaminated from these possible sources. The property did not appear to have excessive nitrate presence from indigenous animal overpopulation, livestock use, septic systems or agricultural chemical use. Our site reconnaissance did not reveal on-site potential sources of contaminants and the history of use did not indicate the presence or use of fuels or agricultural chemicals. In our opinion, the current land use appears to be fallow and undeveloped, and on the basis of the reconnaissance and inquires reported herein, indications of on-site contaminant sources from previous land use were not present or observed at this time.
