SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc (Live Oak) was contracted by John Shoup of Shoup <br /> Land Surveying to conduct a Soil Suitability Study for the Oliveira property located at <br /> 18375 North Ray Road, Lodi, California (Plate 1). <br /> The Soil Suitability Study was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable for <br /> use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of <br /> Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development code. <br /> The formatting of the report has been designed to follow the recommendations of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil <br /> Suitability Study Requirements Checklist. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> The proposed project is a minor subdivision to split the Site into a five-acre homesite / z <br /> parcel and a 35-acre designated remainder (Plate 2). A new residence may be i-yJ <br /> constructed in the future on the proposed five-acre homesite parcel. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site, Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 011-160-40, is approximately 40 acres in <br /> size. The County project application number is PA-1100053. The Site consists of open <br /> agricultural land with an old milk barn, two houses, two sheds, a garage, and a domestic <br /> well. Recent aerial photographs of the Site are included as Plates 3 and 4. <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 20 feet above mean sea level (Plate 5). The Site topography is <br /> relatively flat. <br /> The San Joaquin County Community Development Department web site states that the <br /> Site is zoned AG-40, general agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. This <br /> zoning designation "is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of <br /> commercial agricultural enterprises." <br /> Past Uses of the Site <br /> Based on historical aerial photographs reviewed, the Site was developed for agriculture <br /> in 1940 or earlier. The structures on the Site date to the 1960s or earlier; a small dairy Z� i <br /> was present on the Site at this time. Three structures were removed from the Site in the <br /> 1980s or 1990s. <br /> LOGE 1112 Page 1 <br />
