SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Fred Smith to conduct a <br />Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at 4219 East <br />Bluestone Court, Acannpo, California (Plate 1). <br />The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study are combined under this report <br />cover and presented as two sections of this report. The formatting of the report has <br />been designed to follow the recommendations of the San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil Suitability Study <br />Requirements Checklist and Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. <br />The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study were conducted to determine <br />whether the soils are suitable for use with a septic system, as well as to estimate if the <br />use of septic systems will impact ground water quality. The study was performed <br />according to the requirements of Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County <br />Development code. <br />Proposed Development <br />Mr. Smith indicated that a new three-bedroom home is to be constructed on the Site <br />(Plate 2). <br />Site Description <br />The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 005-360-09, 2.01 acres in size. <br />The Site is located at 4219 East Bluestone Court, Acampo. <br />No structures currently exist on the property (Plate 3). The northern portion of the Site, <br />a dry slough, is walled off from the remainder of the property. <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 55 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat, except <br />at its northern corner, where it drops down to the slough (Plate 4). <br />According to the San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br />(www.co.san-joaquin.ca.us), the Site is zoned R-R, Rural Residential with new lots of <br />one to five acres. This zoning designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural <br />homesites within or adjacent to existing Rural Communities. Lots will generally have <br />sufficient area to allow for individual water supply, sewage disposal, and storm water <br />drainage, but not to support significant commercial agriculture" <br />LOGE 1929 Page 1
