041-250-10 & 041-250-26. <br /> REGIONAL SETTING: <br /> The site is located near the northern boundary of the city of <br /> Lodi, approximately 1/2 male west of Highway 99. The main lane <br /> of the SP Railroad is the easterly property line, with Turner <br /> Road on the south. Residences lay to the west and south of the <br /> site. The Mokelumne raver is immediately to the north, and farm <br /> land and wineries lie to the north of the river. Stockton is <br /> about 12 miles to the south, and Sacramento 40 miles to the <br /> north. Plate 2 shows more details of the surrounding area. <br /> AREA GEOLOGY: <br /> The property is situated in the southern part of the Sacramento <br /> Valley, which is the northern portion of what is referred to as <br /> the Great Valley of California. The topography is very flat, <br /> with a gradient to the west-southwest at about LO feet per male. <br /> Approximately 1/3 of the property is in the overflow portion of <br /> the the Mokelumne river, which is immediately to the north. <br /> Refer to Plate II for details. <br /> DEPTH TO GROUNDWATER: <br /> Water level measurements taken on March 30, 1988 in the three <br /> monitoring wells which were on the property at that time were <br /> recorded at an average of 39' bgl. However, County Flood Control <br /> Distract Maps show that in the Spring of 1983 & 1986, groundwater <br /> was measured at 35' bgl in the area. Water level measurements <br /> taken in the monitoring wells indicated a gradient towards the <br /> southeast, which is supported by data shown on Plane IV. <br /> LOCAL SOIL PROFILES: <br /> According to the 1952 study published by the University of <br /> California, Berkley, the soils in the area consist primarily of <br /> Columbia very fine sandy loam & Hanford sandy loam. These soils <br /> are developed from recent alluvial fans & flood plain deposits. <br /> They are generally underlain by unconsolidated sands & clays with <br /> undeveloped profiles. Refer to Plate 1II, which is from that <br /> publication, for details. <br /> PRIOR USE OF SITE: <br /> The property had been occupied by a winery & distillery from 1909 <br /> until 1986, when operations were discontinued and usable equip- <br /> ment and fixtures were removed from the site.
