The <br /> development project includes a 4,000 square foot agricultural building and slaughterhouse, a 6,000 square <br /> foot chicken enclosure, three employees and two customers operating 2 days per week plus holidays for the <br /> above noted location. <br /> Based on the information provided, the EHD can make the following findings: <br /> 1. The SSNL Study supports the suitability for the OWTS usage with the following conditions: <br /> a. The OWTS designed by an engineer, dated September 6, 2019, has been reviewed and <br /> accepted. <br /> b. The comments and recommendations resulting from the review are attached for your <br /> consideration. <br /> 2. According to EHD records, the existing well was constructed in 2012 for agricultural use and is not a <br /> suitable source for the potable water supply for the new development. A potable water supply that <br /> can provide a consistent source of safe and clean water adequate for human consumption, cooking, <br /> and sanitary purposes for the proposed development project needs to be established prior to the <br /> issuance of building permits (2016 CA Plumbing Code, Section 601.2). <br /> If you have any questions please contact Michael Kith, REHS, Program Coordinator at mkith(cDsigov.org or <br /> (209) 468-3444. <br /> Michael Kith, REHS <br /> Program Coordinator <br /> Attachment <br /> C: Don Chesney, PE, Chesney Consulting <br /> Giuseppe Sanfilippo, Community Development Department <br /> 1868 E.
