July 21, 1999 NOA ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT NUMBER E99130 II. SITE DESCRIPTION A visual reconnaissance of the subject property was conducted prior to the compilation of this report. Because of the size of the subject property and limited access to the property due to the existence of crops and cattle, we could not walk through the entire property. We inspected the property from its perimeter and from access roads that separate the property into three sections. A map with the location of the subject property is attached to this report as Appendix A. Photographs of the subject property are attached to this report as Appendix B. The subject property is approximately 150 acres in size and is located on the south side of West Ripon Road between Union Road and South Manteca Road in Manteca, San Joaquin County, California. The eastern and western portions of the property have been planted in corn. The middle portion of the property is used for grazing cattle. A natural pond is also located on the middle portion of the property. A drainage ditch runs along the south side of the property that is owned by neighboring property owners. Irrigation water is provided to the property by the McMullin Reclamantion District. In an easement on the west side of the property along Union Road is a drainage ditch owned by the McMullin Reclamation District. In an easement on the east side of the property along South Manteca Road is a drainage ditch owned by the South San Joaquin Irrigation District. No structures, industrial processes, commercial products, industrial drums containing hazardous materials, wastewater streams, pits, hazardous materials, above-ground storage tanks, evidence of underground storage tanks, water wells, privately owned transformers, stressed or dead vegetation were observed on the subject property at the time of the site reconnaissance. Five (5) pole-mounted transformers were observed near the northern property boundary in an easement along West Ripon Road. The transformer casings displayed no evidence of leakage, and the ground surface below the transformers displayed no evidence of discoloration. The transformers are owned by the Pacific Gas& Electric Company. A portion of the adjoining property to the north is a rectangular shaped section of land located on the south side of West Ripon Road that has been divided into four parcels. Four single-family residential homes and outbuildings are located in that rectangular section of land. The remainder of adjoining property to the north supports West Ripon Road, beyond which are residential homes and outbuildings, orchards, and agricultural land. On the south side of the subject property is an irrigation ditch, a dirt access road, beyond which is agricultural land and a single-family residence. Adjoining property to the east beyond the canal is Manteca Road, across which is a vineyard. Adjoining property to the west beyond the canal is Union Road, across which is agricultural land. 4
