Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Study MY GREEN WINERY 6535 East Peltier Road, Acampo, California 1.0. INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT On behalf of Mr. Mike Green of My Green Winery, Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (AGE) has prepared the enclosed Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at 6535 East Peltier Road, Acampo, California. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential impact from nitrate loading due to a planned small scale winery showroom on the subject site. The study included a soil percolation test, local septic use research and estimated nitrate impact to soil and ground water at the subject site as required by San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) letter dated 11 April 2011 (Appendix A). 1.1. DESCRIPTION OF SITE The location of the site, surrounding properties and general setting is illustrated on the Lodi North topographic map, 1978 (7.5 Minute United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Series, California) in the southern half of Section 17, Township 4 North, Range 6 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (Figure 1). The map shows the subject property located at an elevation of approximately 70 feet above mean sea level in an area of low topographic relief. The regional slope of the area is relatively gentle and dips toward the west. The property is situated on the north side of East Peltier Road, and consists of a 19- acre parcel identified as San Joaquin County Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 005-260- 45. The current zoning of the property is AG-40 (this zone is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of commercial agriculture enterprises). The existing structures located on-site include a residential multi-bedroom home, garage and storage shed. The property is serviced by existing water well located on the eastern central portion of the site. 1.2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The future plans for the property include the development of the above referenced storage shed into a small winery showroom within an existing garage with minor renovation, while retaining the existing home structure. The proposed development plan has been recorded as San Joaquin County Community Development Department (SJCCDD) application Number PA-1100124. Additionally, the EHD-approved existing septic system will have a new connection.
