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 (cD <br />.sigov.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.
