Introduction The purpose of this project is to divide an 65 acre parcel into four parcels under a Minor Subdivision. In accordance with the San Joaquin County Development title, this Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report (SSCR) is being submitted for application with the tentative map. This report will investigate the property for visual or historical environmental contamination based on field observation, soil testing, and testimony from the owners. This report includes chemical analysis results. A Condition of Approval for the Minor Subdivision will require percolation tests and groundwater tests from the wells (nitrates and DBCP). Those results will be included in the Soils Suitability Report. Project Description The project consists of one parcel located at or near 20200 N. Atkins Road, Clements. The project is in a farming/ranching community and is surrounded by agricultural and grazing land. It is zoned AG-40. The site has two existing homesites. See the Tentative Map included in the Appendix. The 13.2 acre proposed parcel has two homesites, an existing storage building, and an existing horse corral building. The remaining acres have historically been used as grazing land. Project History The primary source of information on the historical use of the property is testimony from the owners and visual observation. The property owner has purchased the property in 1999. The uses in the surrounding areas have not changed significantly in the past 10 years. Some of the adjacent land north of this project converted from grazing land to vineyards approximately 10 years ago. A review of County records did not yield any unusual conditions or concerns. Field Investigation The following information was obtained during a field investigation of the site as well as interviewing the property owner. -1-
