No permits were identified. <br />Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity <br />To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that <br />exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery <br />from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have <br />one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least 86 septic systems per <br />square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. <br />The area surrounding the Site consists of rural residential lots, vineyards, and open <br />land. The Lodi airport is located approximately one-third of a mile to the south. <br />Septic Permit History in the Vicinity <br />Based on a review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental <br />Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach <br />lines and seepage pits.
