Soil Suitability Study MS-92-189 , Parcel Nos . 1 and 2 Existing Land Use: There is one ( 1 ) homesite, three (3) sheds and a well situate in the northwest corner of Parcel No . 2 in the divided condition, at the locations shown on the attached "Tentative Parcel Map" . Access to the home and sheds is along the north boundary line of Parcel Nos . 1 and 2 in the divided condition off of North Sowles Road at the east end of Parcel No . 1 in the divided condition. The rest of the land surrounds the homesite and sheds to the south and east and is presently undeveloped and has brown grass growing on it . There are some Willow trees and ponds along the west boundary of Parcel No . 2 in the divided condition. Soil Profile Test : The Soil Profile Hole was excavated on Parcel No. 2 at the location shown on the attached "Tentative Parcel Map" . The Soil Profile Test Hole was excavated to a maximum depth of ten ( 10) feet below the ground surface. Water was encountered at eight ( 8) feet in excavating to the ten ( 10) feet depth. This water is perceived to be perched water because the soil consistency of the soil excavated below the eight ( 8) feet depth was not watery or sloppy but rather had to be dug out of the auger when retrieved to the surface. Also water appeared to be entering the Soil Profile Hole from the northwest quadrant of the test hole at about the eight (8) feet depth. Subsequent to excavating to the ten ( 10) feet depth the water level stabilized at the level of seven (7 ) feet below the ground surface . Also , the San Joaquin County Flood Control And Water Conservation Map entitled "Lines Of Equal Depth To Water Wells" dated Fall 1.990 shows the water to be in excess of 110 feet below the ground surface . One ( 1 ) basic soil type was encountered in excavating to the ten ( 10) feet depth. The soil was noted to be a reddish-brown sandy loam throughout the ten ( 10 ' ) feet depth, except that between eight (8) and ten ( 10) below the ground surface, the soil was noted to be more granular in nature. This information is shown graphically on the attached "Field Percolation Data Sheet" . The University Of California, College Of .Agriculture, Agricultural Experimental Station, Berkeley, California publication entitled "Soils Of San Joaquin County , California" , by Walter W. Weir , identifies the soil on the subject property to be a reddish- brown San Joaquin Loam, Deep, with good to poor drainage. James and Joyce Lipsett , 23045 North Sowles Road, Acampo 3
