Proposed Septic System The Madziers plan to build a new septic system for the new residence. On-Site Septic Permit History The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were searched for the Site address. No septic permits were identified. Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least 110 septic systems per square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. The Site is located within an area of mixed rural residences, commercial/industrial properties, and orchards. Septic Permit History in the Vicinity Based on a review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach lines; one system utilized leach lines and sumps, and another utilized a filter bed. The septic permits can be found in Appendix 4 of this report. Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage Maximum expected septic tank usage on the Site would be from the future residents of the Site. Septic system design should be based on the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) or other engineering recommendations. Ground Water Information Depth and Gradient Live Oak reviewed ground water elevation information available from the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to determine the ground water levels near the Site. Data from spring and fall of 2016 were the most recent available from this source. According to an analysis of these maps (Plates 5 and 6), ground water elevation in the area is approximately 10 to 15 feet above mean sea level. The ground-water flow is to the north at a rate of three to six feet per mile. LOGE 1924 Page 2
