7I. INTRODUCTION This report issues my findings regarding the Nitrate Loading Study, Soil Suitability Study and wastewater disposal operational parameters for the proposed Sunset Pet Kennel. These studies were required by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) and comply with the San Joaquin County Development Title, specifically Section 9-1105.2(d). Ms. Candace Worland and her mother Ms. Joanne Bagley are the owner-operators of the proposed kennel, and the developers of this project. They have provided the preliminary information to complete these studies. Since the City of Lodi sewer and water will probably never reach the subject property, the new site improvements will operate with a recently drilled new domestic well, and a new on-site wastewater disposal system that will serve: 1.) A residential structure, 2.) The Store where customers will check- / in and pick-up their pets, and 3.) Wash water from the kennels. ✓ SSS§ 1.2. The total Parcel area is 1.25 acres. The project site is north of the city limits of Lodi, approximately 500 feet north of the Woodbridge Road and Ray Road intersection, on the west side of Ray Road. The vast majority of land use around the property has been in agricultural production, as illustrated on the San Joaquin Parcel Viewer Map. It is proposed to improve the subject property with a private pet kennel. These improvements are illustrated on the Site Plan produced by Ms. Worland, found in Appendix A. The purpose of these Studies was to collect the following information to fulfill EHD requirements and discuss septic system operational parameters to facilitate the transfer of information to EHD: 1.)Analyze the capacity of the indigenous soils in the proposed disposal area to accept the anticipated wastewater flows, 2.) Assess the characteristics of the soil to mitigate nitrate impact, and 3.)Discuss operational parameters to achieve the two goals of proper wastewater management and nitrate loading mitigation for the proposed leachfield disposal area. This was accomplished by the referenced testing,physical/chemical analyses and operational parameters incorporated into the wastewater disposal system. ✓L Chemical Analysis and Mounding Analyses of the water table underlying the proposed leachfield area were not conducted. Chemical analysis of the deep groundwater that will be used domestically and for the kennel was obtained from the recently drilled domestic well. The depth to the water table as sounded in the new well is deep enough to make the potential for a mound to develop from percolating effluent virtually impossible. • During the course of the testing and calculations, it has been determined that the required 100% reserve/replacement areas can be situated to the north-northwest and east of the primary leachfield. '0 Although ultimate wastewater flow volumes emanating from the completed project are unknown, the average daily flow(ADF)volume was formulated using all available parameters acceptable to EHD. Average daily flow effluent volumes from the dog and cat kennels are expected to be very small due to the management techniques discussed on Page 8 of this report. Domestic sewage is also expected to be very small. 1 Chesney Consulting v
