..i N�5 I. INTRODUCTION This report issues my findings regarding the Nitrate Loading and Soil Suitability Studies c7been for the subject property under examination, located near Lodi, California. These Studies h completed exclusively for a General Plan Amendment/Re-Zone to amend the subject property from I/T Truck Terminal to C/FS (Commercial Freeway Services). There is no commercial project proposed for the property at this time. Therefore, the purpose of these Studies is to provide the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD)with their required information pertaining to the current status of the soil and groundwater in relation to nitrate loading potential from a fixture on-site wastewater disposal system. These studies comply with San Joaquin County Development Title, Section 9-1105.2(d). Mr. Phil Loduca is the owner of the property and Mr. David Peccie is acting as his representative. Mr. Peccie has provided the preliminary information to complete these Studies. Mr. Howard Seligman, Esq. is counsel for the project. Within the text of this Report, Bolded Section (§)numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable Paragraph(s), or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as SSS§, are sections applicable for the Soil Suitability Study Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as NLS§, are sections applicable for the Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. Other portions of text may also apply to other sections of the Checklists. NLS§ 2.3, SSS§3.1. The subject property is located approximately five miles south of the City of Lodi, and approximately 0.5 miles north of the City of Stockton sphere of influence. Stockton municipal sewer facilities have not expanded to this area and it is unknown when services will be (3, installed. Consequently, domestic wastewater emanating from any future project will have to be managed by an on-site decentralized wastewater management system, referred to as Package Treatment Plants. This is discussed in the Conclusions Section of this Report. No septic systems exist on the property. An irrigation well is located in the extreme southwest comer of the property next to Eight Mile Road. This ag well is non-operational. Domestic water 3J for any future project is proposed to be supplied by one, and probably two new on-site wells to be drilled in a location that will meet issues such as setback requirements, etc. These wells must be classified as public wells for any commercial project. SSS§ 1.1, 1.2. Currently, the property is completely fallow with no improvements other than the ag irrigation well and a large freeway-type billboard. Present land use is illustrated by the aerial EHD Parcel Viewer Maps. Total Parcel area is 16.26 acres. Current zoning, as referenced, is I-T, with Z General Plan as I/T. The following is a summarization of the information collected to complete these Studies and preliminarily fulfill the requirements of EHD. Wastewater system operational parameters are also preliminarily discussed in the Conclusions Section of this report to supply additional information to EHD: 1 Chesney Consulting
