r RIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY s been farmed in dry-land grass for several years. This is evidenced by the harvest ed on the adjoining property to the north. The harvest equipment includes a and baler. There are no structures on the property. The project is located one-quarter mile south of the intersection of the 99 Frontage Road and Eight Mile Road. Its legal description is the northwest one-quarter of Section 6, Township 2 North, Range 7 East, MDB&M. Surrounding structures consist of commercial facilities such as a gas station, restaurant and bar, a mobile home park to the north and low density, exclusive housing to the east and south. The region has been farmed, particularly in pasture land for the last several decades. The historical aerial photos in Appendix C illustrate that the subject property has been primarily in agricultural (2, production. III. STANDARD PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES It is my understanding the subject property has been owned by Narula Properties, LLC for the previous six months. Prior ownership of the property was by Ms. Sarah Pender of Placerville, California. An Environmental Questionnaire was mailed to Ms. Pender(See Appendix 2'I) F) to investigate her knowledge of the property;however,there was no response from her. A reliable source of information was utilized for this SSCR since the property was relatively close to the City of Stockton. The Rec-Check® data(See Appendix E),produced by the firm of Environmental Record Search, Inc. reveals that there are no hazardous material sites within the ,�r/�s� study area which may impact the property, according to the public record sources searched. This includes the Chevron Service Station, one-eighth mile to the north. The surface soils are composed predominately of a Jacktone clay(#180). Permeability is slow in this soil type,primarily due to an underlying claypan/hardpan at around 60 inches. There is also a high shrink-swell potential. Consequently, consideration should be given to having a soils engineer assess the on-site soils to provide foundation recommendations when, and if, construction should take place on the property. From nitrate testing of water wells in the Morada area, it is noted EHD has determined that the nitrate concentrations are invariably, and surprisingly low in this area. Given the number of older septic systems in the area and the intense agricultural production that has occurred,higher nitrate g �� concentrations would be expected. This may be attributed to the indigenous clay soils and the ability of the underlying aquifers to promote denitrification. 3 Chesney Consulting
