3. <br /> EXISTING LAND USE <br /> The existing land, except for the homesite and out buildings, is planted in pasture. <br /> The south portion is fenced and cross-fenced, however, no animals are currently <br /> on the property. <br /> Previous use was probably grazing land. <br /> SOILS <br /> Soils data was obtained from the "SOIL SURVEY OF SAN JOAQUIN <br /> COUNTY, CALIFORNIA", Issued October, 1992. <br /> Parcel 1, and parcel 2 <br /> The soils map indicates that the soil type for these parcels is Bruella Sandy Loam. <br /> Typically, the surface layer is a brown sandy loam. The upper subsoil is a brown <br /> sandy clay loam. The lower portion is a brown, strong brown, and light brown <br /> sandy clay loam. <br /> The average rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 1.5 inches per hour. <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> Based on the test results and the performance of the septic systems in the area, it is <br /> my opinion that the subject parcels are suitable for the existing and proposed septic <br /> systems. <br /> Per San Joaquin County ordinance, The maximum depth for dry wells(pits)is 25 <br /> feet. Since the depth to groundwater is 130+/-, per San Joaquin County's semi- <br /> annual groundwater report, the dry wells will be 105+/- feet above the <br /> groundwater elevation. <br /> Based on this information, the existing and future septic systems should not <br /> adversly affect the groundwater in the area. <br />
