%Mo� 3 • r/ <br /> EXISTING LAND USE <br /> The existing land, except for the homesite and w.small pasture area <br /> next to Peltier Road, is currently fallow. <br /> The owner has removed an old vineyard in 1991 , and a crop of winter <br /> oats was grown. <br /> SOILS <br /> Soils data was obtained from "SOIL SURVEY OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, <br /> CALIFORNIA" , issued October 1992• <br /> Parcel 1 . <br /> The soils map indicates that the soils type for parcel 1 is Bruella <br /> Sandy Loam, hard substratum. <br /> Typically, the surface layer is brown sandy loam. The upper part of the <br /> subsoil is dark brown and strong brown sandy clay loam. The lower part <br /> is strong brown, weakly cemented, sandy clay loam. Included in this <br /> type are small areas that do not have a hard substratum. <br /> Parcel 2. <br /> The soils map indicates that the soil type for parcel 2 is Tokay Fine <br /> Sandy Loam. Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown fine sandy <br /> loam. The subsoil is grayish brown, brown and pale brown fine sandy loam. <br /> The substratum is pale brown fine sandy loam. Permeability is moderate- <br /> ly rapid in the Tokay soil. <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> Based on the test results and the performance of the existing septic <br /> systems in the area, it is my opinion that the subject parcels are <br /> suitable for the proposed and existing septic systems . <br /> Per San Joaquin County ordinance , the maximum depth for dry wells <br /> (pits) is 251 . Since the depth to groundwater is 105± feet , per San <br /> Joaquin County' s semi-annual groundwater report, dry wells (pits) <br /> are well above the maximum groundwater elevation. <br /> Based on this information, the existing and future proposed septic <br /> systems should not adversly affect the groundwater quality in the <br /> area. <br /> miller <br />
