EXISTING OR POTENTIAL GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION <br /> See Section 4.2. for a discussion of ground water contamination in the area of the site. <br /> 8.3. CURRENT AND FUTURE USE OF GROUND WATER AT THE SITE <br /> The existing water supply well appears to conform to DWR and SJCEHD standard and will supply <br /> Z 3� the domestic uses at the property. <br /> 9.0 IMPACT OF NITRATE TO GROUND WATER <br /> Due to the proposed commercial use of the property and the potential for nitrate leaching into the <br /> ground water from the existing septic system, a nitrate loading analysis for the future use has been <br /> required by the SJCEHD. <br /> 9.1. CURRENT OFF-SITE SOURCES OF NITRATE <br /> �yf Septic systems and agriculture are sources of nitrates in the area of the site. Surrounding residences <br /> appear to be over'/4-mile from the site. <br /> 9.2. IMPACT OF RAINFALL CONTRIBUTION TO NITRATE LOAD <br /> t <br /> The rainfall of the area has been estimated for the nitrate loading analysis. Deep percolation is <br /> f estimated by calculating the average monthly rainfall and evapotranspiration of the site area. If <br /> average monthly rainfall exceeds average monthly potential for evapotranspiration(ETo) there is a <br /> potential for deep percolation without consideration for runoff.Average potential ET,,was estimated <br /> from data obtained from the California Irrigation Management Information System(CIMIS) Lodi <br /> West Station#166.The monthly rainfall averages were obtained from the Western Regional Climate <br /> Center and calculated based on data collected between 1893 and 2007, the yearly rain fall average <br /> for the Lodi area was calculated as 17.28 inches. ET,,and rainfall data are provided in Appendix G. <br /> Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
