F11. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY The subject property has been owned by the Silva and Inman Families since the 1930's when Darwin Inman's deceased grandfather, Mr. Tony Silva, purchased the property. Prior ownership of the property is unknown. The property served as a dairy until the late 1970's. The structures existing on proposed Parcel 1 of the property include: A single family residence, detached garage, small shed, an animal barn and a hay barn. Proposed Parcel 2 contains a single family residence. The project is located in the northeast corner of Steinegul Road and Kelley Road, and its legal description is the southwest one-quarter Section 26, Township 1 South, Range 9 East, MDB&M. Surrounding structures consist of very low density residential housing, agricultural production land and confined animal facilities (dairies and horse ranches). Directly north of the property line is the Oakdale Irrigation Lateral (O.I.D.) that was originally an open canal, and is now a pipeline. The region has been farmed, particularly in pasture land for the last several decades. Surrounding irrigation is provided by irrigation wells and the O.I.D. The historical aerial photos illustrate that the subject property was entirely in pasture in the 1970s, except for buildings, roads, and the O.I.D. irrigation canal. III. STANDARD PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES The surface soils are composed predominately of a Madera sandy loam (#193), with the extreme northwest portion consisting of Madera-Alamo Complex (#195). Permeability is very slow in both of these soil types, primarily due to an underlying claypan/hardpan. There is also a high shrink- swell potential. Consequently, consideration should be given to having a soils engineer assess the on-site soils to provide foundation recommendations if construction will ever take place on the Parcels. The GeoTracker map illustrates one Leaking Underground Fuel Tank LUFT to the north of the property. This LUFT site is also listed on the San Joaquin County Envisions Outline Viewer files and is referenced as the DaSilva Dairy. This Dairy is approximately 1,870 feet north of the property and crossgradient with respect to groundwater flow. The attached Environmental Questionnaire indicates that there was a small underground fuel tank located on the property, which was removed before 1980. The exact location of this tank is unknown to Mr. Darwin Inman,his uncle, Mr. Roy Silva, and his mother, Mrs. Dorothy Inman. The San Joaquin County Envisions Outline Viewer has indicated the property is an"Exempt Tank Facility" and is listed under Mr. Tony Silva, Mr. Inman's grandfather. As referenced above, Mr. Tony Silva is deceased. 3 Chesney Consulting
