SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak Geo Environmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Taj Khan of the <br /> California Islamic Center to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study <br /> for the property located at 12882 North Lower Sacramento Road, Lodi, California (Plate <br /> 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 /> A previous study entitled Groundwater Analytical Test Results, Percolation Test <br /> Results, and Nitrate Loading Study Reports was completed for the Site by Technical <br /> Studies, Inc (TEST) in July 2010. The current report relies on field work information <br /> from the 2010 study, portions of which have been included for reference in Appendix 4. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> According to the Use Permit application on file with the San Joaquin County Community <br /> Development Department, the proposed project involves the expansion of an existing <br /> religious assembly (Plate 2): "The project will include the construction of a 4,680 square <br /> foot addition to the existing worship building, and the construction of a 640 square foot <br /> storage building." <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 058-070-23, 18.54 acres in <br /> size.
