SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Gary Winters to conduct <br /> a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for his property located at 6819 East <br /> Lathrop Road, Manteca, California. <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. Winters intends to construct a new three-bedroom home on the Site. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 197-140-09, 30.35 acres in <br /> size. It is located at 6819 East Lathrop Road, Mantel a (Plate 1). <br /> The Site is currently an orchard. An irrigation well is located near the center of the Site <br /> (Plate 2). <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 40 to 45 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat <br /> (Plate 3). <br /> According to the San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br /> (www.co.san-joaquin.ca.us), the Site is zoned AU-20, Agriculture-Urban Reserve. This <br /> zoning designation "is intended to retain in agriculture those areas planned for future <br /> urban development in order to facilitate compact, orderly growth and to assure the <br /> proper timing and economical provision of services and utilities." <br /> LOGE 1932 Page 1 <br />
