The winery is located on a 81.85 acre parcel owned by Spenker Ranch, Inc. The <br /> Assessor Parcel Number (APN) for the property is 013-050-17. The San Joaquin County Use <br /> Permit Application number is UP-93-3 (revised). The Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading Study is <br /> presented in two parts;Part I is the Soil Suitability Study and Part II is the Nitrate Loading Study. <br /> The following reports present the result of our study. <br /> The Soil Suitability Study (SSS) (Part I) was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable <br /> for use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of Section <br /> 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development. A major element of the field work included <br /> conducting a percolation test that meets the required absorption rates as required by San Joaquin <br /> County,Public Health Services,Environmental Health Department (EHD). The Nitrate Loading <br /> Study (Part II) provides an estimate to the potential impact of nitrates generated from the Site to <br /> shallow ground water. <br /> In addition to conducting the percolation test, a review of published soil information,geologic <br /> maps, and ground water information was performed to evaluate the suitability of soils for use with a <br /> septic system. <br /> Work for this project was started ' and involved completing a percolation test and collecting a <br /> well water sample for �'trat and BC . The project was not completed by our office due to the <br /> need for more informa'dofi regar the winery waste water treatment system. At that time, the <br /> winery was looking at using a marsh or pond type treatment system. Now we understand that <br /> winery waste water is land applied under a State Water Board permit to grasses on an adjacent parcel <br /> owned by the Spenker Ranch, Inc. No further work was conducted on the project until Mr. Sikeotis <br /> contacted our office in October 2004 and indicated that the EHD will be requiring completion of <br /> ` LODI ■ SACRAMENTO ■ MODESTO <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION 902 Industrial Way,Lodi,California 95240 ■209.367.3701 0 209.369.4228 ■www.noanderson.com <br />
