MS 95-08 <br /> SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> for <br /> Patrick Murphy <br /> -46-2.2 E. Peltier Rd . <br /> Q62�7- Acampo , CA <br /> 1 ) INTRODUCTION <br /> This soil suitability study has been performed in accordance with the <br /> requirements of Section 9-1110 . 2(d ) of the San Joaquin County <br /> Development Title , using methodologies and procedures accepted and <br /> approved by San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division . The <br /> results of this study will be used to determine the suitability of <br /> these parcels for on-site sewage disposal systems . The determination <br /> of suitability will be based on percolation rates , depth to ground <br /> water , flood zones , soil type , soil structure and characteristics . <br /> 2 ) PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT <br /> The Murphy property currently consists of one 20-acre parcel , APN #017- <br /> 180-01 , which will be split into four 5-acre parcels . The existing <br /> home will be located on parcel one ( see tentative parcel map in <br /> Appendix ) . There are no changes in the land use proposed at this time . <br /> 3 ) PRESENT AND PAST LAND USE OF THIS SITE <br /> The 20 acre parcel is currently in fallow, with the exception of the <br /> current home and out buildings . This property has been in fallow for <br /> the last seven years , prior to that it was in vineyards for at least <br /> fifty years . Prior to planting a vineyard , the land was used in dairy <br /> related activities . <br /> 4 ) EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE <br /> The existing septic system is assumed to consist of three , ninety foot <br /> lines with a 48" diameter pit at the end of each line . This system was <br /> installed prior to records , however , in 1980 an addition was added (one <br /> of the three ninety foot lines and 48" pit ) , and has performed well <br /> with no problems , according to Mr . Murphy. The "addition permit " is <br /> on file and was installed as per County regulations . There is <br /> currently no proposed construction or changes to the existing system. <br /> The past installation of septic systems have performed well in this area. A <br /> review of Environmental Health records show many new systems installed but <br /> no repairs to existing systems , over the past twenty years ( the last repair <br /> in this area was in 1972 ) . Other systems are as follows : <br />
