r7 <br /> I. INTRODUCTION <br /> This Report contains the Nitrate Loading/Soil Suitability Studies and design detail for the <br /> decentralized wastewater management system, commonly referred to as a septic system, for the <br /> project referenced on the Title Page. <br /> This is an unusual project in which the proposed project is located within the city limits of <br /> Stockton. Municipalities typically do not allow septic system construction within their c' limits <br /> since there is usually access to city sewer. Consequently, a Memorandum of Understanding _ <br /> between the San Joaquin County Environmental health Department(EHD) and the City of C <br /> Stockton was established since the EHD had the knowledge and expertise regarding se ystems. <br /> Since the City of Stockton sewer is more than 1,000 ft away, a septic system will be allowed due to <br /> economic hardship to connect, until City sewer arrives at this location. Stockton City Water is <br /> available to serve this project. <br /> These Studies also provide the EHD with their required information regarding the examination of <br /> the underlying soil and groundwater, nitrate loading potential and design parameters in conjunction <br /> with these findings. This report complies with San Joaquin County Development Title, Section 9- <br /> 1105.2(d). <br /> Within the text of this Report, Bolded Section (§) numbers are referenced at the beginning of an <br /> applicable Paragraph(s), or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist. <br /> Section Numbers referenced as SSS§, are sections applicable for the Soil Suitability Study <br /> Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as NLS§, are sections applicable for the <br /> Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. Other portions of text may also apply to other <br /> sections of the Checklists, but may not necessarily be referenced. <br /> NLS§ 2.3, SSS§3.1. The subject property is located at the terminal end of the Airport Way <br /> frontage road. There is no record of there ever having a septic system on the property and as noted, <br /> there is no on-site well, nor a record of one ever installed on the property. <br /> SSS§ 1.1, 1.2. The Aerial photo in Appendix A i rates he layout of the property. The SJC <br /> District Viewer Map indicates the subject Parcel i 3.36 acres Present land use of the property is <br /> as vacant land. Current and futur oning is City, well as' i for the General Plan. Proposed <br /> development is to be as annabis grow production ouse/processing facili he plants <br /> will be irrigated and ferti ize (fertigation)with a highly sophisticated sysiem-from Argus Controls <br /> Company. The plants are watered only when determined by soil moisture monitoring and <br /> evapotranspiration. A precise irrigation water volume is administered as required by the potted <br /> plants to greatlyminimize drainage runoff of the irrigation water into the soil underlying the plants. C <br /> The testing protocol has found tnhq indi en er the proposed leachfield disposal area <br /> location to contain a predominat loam soil material possessing a slow permeability. <br /> Page -1- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
