(§ 1.0) INTRODUCTION r22�This Soil Suitability Study presents the results of my investigation concerning the soil characteristics and groundwater under the subject property referenced on the Title Page. It was completed to satisfy the requirements of the San Joaquin Environmental Health Department (EHD), as specified in their directive that this Study is completed before the issuance of a Building Permit. Analysis and recommendations have been provided in this report based upon the environmental criteria encountered. My report is in compliance with the requirements for a Soil Suitability Study under Development Title, Section 9-1105.2 Item (d). Within the text of this Report, bolded Section (§)numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable sentence, paragraph or paragraphs, or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist for a Soil Suitability Study. (§ 2.0) SUBJECT SITE AND STUDY AREA BACKGROUND INFORMATION i (§ 1.1, 1.2,3.7) The subject Parcel is part of an antiquated subdivision, and can be considered the fourth Parcel west of Steinegul Road, on Tiffani Lane. A new single family residential structure is proposed to b..e-bui tt-by4he.pwners of the property, Mr. and Mrs. Del Rio, as depicted on the Site Plan found,in Appendix A. Current zoning is AL-10. A second unit dwelling could be built on the subject Parcel since-tfii& is obvious sufficient area. This would create two septic systems on approximately 10 acres, or one system per five acres, which can be considered very low density. (§1.4) The S.J.C. Parcel Viewer Map found in Appendix Aillustrates the subject property as being completely fallow. The house building pad, drive"Y-and etaining wall adjacent to Tiffani Lane have been constructed. (§ 1.1 and 2.1) The subject property is 4.5 miles northeast of City of Escalon. Surrounding property use consists predominately of agricultural production land-primarily rice ground, underground irrigation water conveyance structures (Oakdale Irrigation District), confined animal facilities and new residential development on 10 acre lots to the east and west of this project. Housing is low density. Municipal sewer will probably never serve this area, or at least not for several decades. (§ 4.2)'Any of the above land use could create environmental concerns that may be discovered in the future. Environmental concerns would primarily result from the over-application of nitrogen fertilizers and not from septic system density. (§ 3.1,3.3) The project is part of an antiquated subdivision that has always been in agricultural production, and there is no on-site septic tank usage for this Parcel. Therefore, there is no on-site septic tank repair history. (§12,34, 15, 16) Found in Appendix C,is a copy of aseptic system permit from EHD microfiche files for a syste#i installed at the intersection of Steinegul and Lone Tree Roads (one- quarter mile from the site) in 1975.
