3. <br /> EXISTING LAND USE <br /> The existing land is currently fallow. It is covered with native grass and weeds. <br /> Previous use appears to have been pasture. There are no structures of any kind on <br /> the Property. <br /> SOILS <br /> Soils data was obtained from "SOIL SURVEY OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, <br /> CALIFORNIA" Issued October, 1992. <br /> Parcels No. 1, 2, 4, and the NW 2/3rds of parcel 3. <br /> The soils map indicates that soil type for these parcels is Bruella Sandy Loam. <br /> Typically, the surface layer is a brown sandy loam. The upper subsoil is a brown <br /> sandy clay loam. The lower portion is a brown, strong brown, and light brown <br /> sandy clay loam. <br /> The average rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 1.5 inches per hour. <br /> The SE 1/3 rd of parcel 3: <br /> The soil type for this portion of parcel 3 is Acampo Sandy Loam. <br /> Typically, the surface layer is a brown sandy loam. The upper part of the subsoil is <br /> a pale brown and light yellowish brown sandy loam. Below this is a thin layer of <br /> indurated hardpan. The lower part is a variegated brownish yellow and yellowish <br /> brown weakly to strongly cemented hardpan. <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> Based on the test results and the performance of the septic systems in the area, it is <br /> my opinion that the subject parcels are suitable for the proposed septic systems. <br /> Per San Joaquin County ordinance, the maximum depth for dry wells (pits) is 25 <br /> feet.Since the depth to groundwater is 120'+/-, per San Joaquin County's semi- <br /> annual groundwater report, the dry wells will be 95'+/- above the groundwater <br /> elevation. <br /> Based on this information, the future septic systems should not adversely affect the <br /> groundwater in the area. <br />
