• March 1991 permit for a new domestic or public well at packing shed. The permit <br /> indicates that "a previously identified well needs to be destroyed." <br /> All the permits may not apply to the Site; additional land to the north of the Site is also <br /> identified by the address of 111 North Zuckerman Road. The permits are included in <br /> Appendix 4. <br /> Wafer Sample <br /> Live Oak collected water samples from both domestic wells on the Site on July 17, �/3) <br /> 2012. The samples were to be analyzed for nitrate and dibromochloropropane (DBCP) 6N) <br /> per San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department policy. <br /> As required by the laboratory, each sample was collected in a plastic container and two (i�sd <br /> glass vials for nitrate and DBCP analysis, respectively. A trip blank was also utilized. <br /> The samples were placed on ice and transported under chain of custody to FGL L� (,7 <br /> Environmental, Stockton. The analytical results are forthcoming. <br /> Although nitrate is a naturally-occurring compound necessary for plant growth, it can <br /> cause health problems when present at high levels in drinking water. The most <br /> common health effect of nitrate in water is methemoglobinemia, or blue baby syndrome, <br /> which results in reduced oxygen supply to vital tissues. Pregnant women and certain <br /> others can also develop methemoglobinemia. Symptoms include a bluish color of the <br /> skin, as well as headache, dizziness, weakness, and difficulty breathing. Ingestion of <br /> high levels of nitrate over time can also lead to gastric problems. <br /> DBCP is a nematocide and soil fumigant for vegetables and grapes. It is known to <br /> cause male reproductive effects and is classified as a probable human carcinogen. <br /> Most domestic use of DBCP was discontinued in 1977 through 1979. <br /> Soil Profile and Geologic Information <br /> The Site is mapped on the Geologic maps of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, <br /> California (Atwater, 1982). It is depicted within map unit of peat and mud of tidal <br /> wetlands and waterways (Plate 6). <br /> The surface and near surface soils located at the Site are reported by the USDA Web <br /> Soil Survey to be composed of Itano silty clay loam, Rindge mucky silt loam, Rindge <br /> muck. Ryde clay loam, and Ryde silty clay loam (Plate 7) (USDA, 2012). The table <br /> below presents some selected properties of these soils: <br /> LOGE 1213 Page 5 <br />
