2 SITE SETTING KLEI NF ELDER 2.1 SITE LOCATION The site is located at 17950 Via Nicolo west of Tracy in San Joaquin County, California (Plate 1). The site is located to the southwest of Highway 580, and is accessible from the Patterson Pass Road exit. The Musco Olive Products facility is located in portions of Section 4, Township 3 South, Range 4 East, and Section 34, Township 2 South, Range 4 East, Mt. Diablo Baseline and Meridian. According to the Midway, California USGS topographic quadrangle, both Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) and Western Pacific Railroad(WPRR)tracks cross the site. An artesian well is located to the northwest of the site between the SPRR tracks and Highway 580. 2.2 CURRENT USE AND SITE CHARACTERISTICS The site is occupied by the olive processing and packaging plant located in the northern portion of the property (Section 34) adjacent to the SPRR and Highway 580. An existing one million gallon storage pond is located southwest of the plant along the western boundary of Section 34. Two evaporation ponds are located to the northeast of the plant near Highway 580. The proposed new 72 million-gallon storage pond(s) will be located to the southeast of the plant near the southern boundary of Section 34. The land application area is located to the southwest of the plant and existing pond area in Section 4. The one million-gallon storage pond, proposed 72 million-gallon storage pond location, and land application area are accessible by unpaved roads. The topography of the plant area is somewhat flat, transitioning to rolling hills south of the plant near the one million-gallon pond and land application area. The topography in the portion of the land application area south of the WPRR is relatively steep, and may limit drill rig access during periods of inclement weather. 2.3 GEOLOGY AND HYDROLOGY The site lies along the transition between the Great Valley and Coast Ranges Geomorphic Provinces of California.
