Cherokee Ln., Galt <br />Service Request SR0078905. <br />The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has received and reviewed your <br />Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading study report dated April 13, 2018 and has found it meets the <br />requirements of San Joaquin County and Code Title 9, section 9-1105.2 (d). <br />SPECIAL COMMENTS: <br />1. EHD agrees with the author of the study, Chesney Consulting, that "given the soils underlying <br />the subject property show inadequate permeability, it is Chesney Consulting's <br />recommendation to enlarge the system to the next upgrade (i.e., a 3 bedroom house to be <br />upgraded to a 4 bedroom system)." <br />2. The data indicates the onsite water well has elevated level of nitrate and may not be a suitable <br />source for the potable water supply for new development. A potable water supply that can <br />provide a consistent source of safe and clean water adequate for human consumption, <br />cooking, and sanitary purposes for the proposed new home needs to be established prior to <br />the issuance of building permits (2016 CA Plumbing Code, Section 601.2). <br />Note: EHD has already reviewed the Zone Reclassification project under PA -1800078 and provided <br />a condition letter dated April 30, 2018 to San Joaquin County Community Development. <br />If you have any questions please <br />Specialist, at (209) 468-0335. <br />w <br />Michael Kith <br />Program Coordinator <br />call Jeffrey Wong, Senior Registered Environmental Health <br />Cc: Robert C.
