(§ 1.0) INTRODUCTION 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 for Conditions of Approval. 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 (§ 1.1 I.A 37)The subject Parcel is part of an antiquated subdivision. A new single family rnstructure is proposed to be built by General Contractor Tom Schwartz for Mr. and Flores as depicted on the Preliminary Plot Plan, found in Appendix A. Current zoning is 4--1-01. A second unit W ling could be built on the subject Parcel since there is obvious sufficient area. This would creat tw septic systems on approximately,I0'acres, or one system per five acres,which can be considered-very low density. (§1.4) The S.J.C. Parcel Viewer Map foundin Appendix A illustrates the subject property as being completely fallow with no items on the Parcel. (� 1.1 )an 2.1y The subject property is 4.5 miles northeast of City of Escalon. Surrounding p�rarty u3e�consists predominately of agricultural production land-primarily rice ground, irrigation water conveyance structures (Oakdale Irrigation District), confined animal facilities and new residential development on 10 acre lots to the 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. 0_3'J/,A,'3) The project is part of an antiquated subdivision that has always been in agricultural p du�tioh, and there is no on-site septic tank usage for this Parcel, or the antiquated subdivision. Therefore,there is no on-site septic tank repair history. (",2,(3.4'3.5,A.6) Found.in Appendi�C, is a copy of a septic system permit from EHD microfiche files for a systern-installed at the intersection of Steinegul and Lone Tree Roads (one- quarter mile from the site) in 1975. This permit,indis4tes that sum _were installed and there apparently have been no repairs to this system( Two other permits were found in the microfiche files in the one-half mile proximity to the subject Parcel. This can be considered a low number of repairs in the study area. Page -1- Chesney Consulting
