SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Brent Workman to <br /> conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at <br /> 3149 East Collier Road, Acampo, 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. Workman indicated that a new home is to be constructed on the Site (Plate 2). <br /> Site Description <br /> TherSiteis defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 005-370-27, approximately <br /> �8 acres in size. The Site is located at 3149 East Collier Road, Acampo. <br /> A house, a garage, a shop, and three sheds currently exist on the Site. A domestic well <br /> and septic system serve the house (Plate 3). <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 (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 1931 Page 1 <br />
