One permit was identified: • September 1979 permit for new residential septic system.

Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least 430 septic systems per square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. The residential parcels to the west of Highway 99 that are part of the City of Stockton and receive municipal sewer services were not included in the estimate. The Site is located within a residential neighborhood; most parcels appear to be one- third to two acres in size.
