(1601 East Hazelton Avenue) • Stockton,California 95201 <br /> C4��FOR a\P <br /> (209) 468-3400 <br /> (C DATE: October 12 , 1989 o <br /> TO: San Joaquin County Planning Department <br /> FROM: Public Health Services <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> RE: TA-89-16/GP-90-4 <br /> In the event that this application is approved , it is requested <br /> that the following conditions be made a part of this approval : <br /> An environmental review should be made to address the potential <br /> impacts this text amendment may have as the density of housing <br /> units will be increased countywide. This review should include : <br /> 1 . The concentration of septic tank effluent within a <br /> smaller land area. <br /> 2 . The impact of septic disposal to ground water quality, <br /> both immediate and cumulative . <br /> 3 . The suitability of various soils to septic disposal, <br /> Particularly since land area would be reduced. <br /> 4 . The alternatives to septic disposal in case of septic <br /> system failures on a significant basis to include both <br /> the acquisition of more land area for disposal and the <br /> feasibility of retro-installation of a sewer treatment <br /> plant . <br /> 5 . The provision on a county-wide basis of an approved <br /> facility or site for the disposal of septic tank ' <br /> pumpings as county facilities are extremely limited and <br /> most septage waste is hauled to out-of-county sites . <br /> The Environmental Health Division suggests that this application <br /> is premature as this issue is to be addressed in the General Plan <br /> revisions by the consultants and would also be a part of the EIR <br /> being written for that review. <br /> Should this application proceed to permit an "estate type" zone <br /> on septic tanks with a minimum lot size of one acre, San Joaquin <br /> County development policies as stated in Section 9-10100 would <br /> have to be addressed on an application by application basis <br /> during an environmental review. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
