KLEINFELDER SOIL SUITABILITY AND NITRATE LOADING STUDY SIKH TEMPLE OF LODI AND STOCKTON LODI, CALIFORNIA 1. GENERAL Kleinfelder is pleased to present the results of our soil suitability and nitrate loading study for the proposed Sikh Temple of Lodi and Stockton to be located in Lodi, California. The Assessor's Parcel Number of the property is 058-110-40. An aerial photograph showing the approximate site boundaries is presented on Plate 1. The purpose of our study was to determine the suitability of the property for septic tank usage. The study was performed in general accordance to the requirements of Section 9-10100© of San Joaquin County Ordinance. The following sections include background information regarding the project site and the proposed development, past and present uses of the site, existing septic tank performance and permitting, and the groundwater conditions in the project area. In addition, discussions regarding our investigative procedures and the site conditions encountered during our field exploration are included. Finally, the results of our percolation tests, nitrate loading calculations, and subsequent conclusions are presented. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION / PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT At the time of our study, the subject 8.6-acre parcel consisted mostly of a barren field with scattered weeds and trees. A residence was located near the northwest corner of the property. A fence bordered the west side of the property along West Lane and the south side along Armstrong road. Three sheds were located on the property, two near the northwest corner of the site next to the house and one near the southwest corner adjacent the fence. The property was bound to the north by fallow fields, to the east by railroad tracks, to the west by West Lane, and to the south by Armstrong Road. The existing parcel is zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture). We understand that a Sikh temple with associated paved parking and other improvements will be constructed on the subject property. An on-site septic/leach field system will provide sewage disposal. An old domestic well will provide water for the �- temple. A map showing the approximate location of the proposed temple, septic/leach field, and well is presented on Plate 2. We understand that the proposed temple will have a maximum seating capacity of 249 people, and the building will be used on two occasions (Saturday and Sunday) each week. During the middle of a typical week, we understand a maximum of 50 people will use the facility. The temple will have a kitchen.
