• The general area consists of orchards and agricultural land with scattered rural residences. 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, it appears that the septic systems in the area utilize leach lines, leach lines with sumps, and leach lines with seepage pits. 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 the existing home and a potential second dwelling unit on each numbered parcel. No new residential construction is planned. Ground Water Information Depth and Gradient Live Oak reviewed ground-water elevation information available from the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to determine the ground water • levels near the Site. Data from the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015 were the most recent available from this source. According to an analysis of these maps (Plates,5 and 6), the ground water elevation is 10 to 13 feet below mean sea level; the ground-water flow is to the northwest or north-northwest at a rate of approximately five to eight feet per mile. Given that the ground elevation of the Site is 75 feet above sea level, based on the County ground water maps the depth to ground water below the Site is estimated to range between 62 to 65 feet.\/ Potential Ground Water Contamination Issues ' The Soil Suitability Study is not intended to be an investigation into ground-water contamination sources, and no such investigation was conducted. Many sources can contribute to ground water contamination, including leaking underground storage tanks, agricultural activities, dairies and cattle ranches, septic systems, and storm water infiltration. Agricultural activities and the use of septic systems in the area are known ground water contamination sources with the potential to impact the Site. Live Oak reviewed the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department's Water Well Data Table dated March 10, 2009 for nearby addresses that have been tested for nitrate and dibromochloropropane (DBCP). Six wells were identified at addresses within approximately one mile of the subject Site. Four of the wells had been tested for DBCP; it was detected in three of the wells, at concentrations of 0.06 to 1.08 µg/L. All LOGE 1613 Page 3
