SAN JOAQUIN <br />COUNTY <br />Greatness grows here. <br />November 18, 2019 <br />Ahmed Hussein <br />Navu Farms, Inc. <br />232 San Marco Ave <br />San Bruno, Ca 94066 <br />Environmental Health Department <br />RE: Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading Study <br />7300 West Delta Avenue, Tracy <br />APN 213-020-38 and 213-02041, PA -1800316, SR0081147 <br />Kasey Foley, RENS, Interim Director <br />PROGRAM COORDINATORS <br />Robert McClellon, REHS <br />Jeff Carruesco, REHS, RDI <br />Willy Ng, REHS <br />Muniappa Naidu, REHS <br />Michael Kith, REHS <br />Melissa Nissim. REHS <br />Questa Engineering Corp reviewed the Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading (SSNL) Study, dated September 6, <br />2019, for the Environmental Health Department (EHD). <br />The SSNL Study was prepared to determine the suitability of the above noted parcel for onsite wastewater <br />treatment system (OWTS) usage and the potential impact of nitrate to groundwater for a development project <br />at above noted location. The development project includes a 4,000 square foot agricultural building and <br />slaughterhouse, a 6,000 square foot chicken enclosure, 3 employees and 2 customers operating 2 days per <br />week plus holidays for the above noted location. <br />The comments and recommendations resulting from the review are attached for your consideration. Please <br />note the groundwater separation requirement listed in the comment. <br />According to EHD records, the existing well was constructed in 2012 for agricultural use and is not suitable <br />source for the potable water supply for the new development. A potable water supply that can provide a <br />consistent source of safe and clean water adequate for human consumption, cooking, and sanitary purposes <br />for the proposed development project needs to be established prior to the issuance of building permits (2016 <br />CA Plumbing Code, Section 601.2). <br />The provision of a reliable potable water source and the OWTS design that provides a minimum distance of <br />8 feet from the bottom of the dispersal system to groundwater and 100% replacement area for this <br />development project within the required setbacks from any water well must be submitted prior to the issuance <br />of a building permit. <br />If you have any questions please contact Michael Kith, REHS, Program Coordinator at mkith(a�slgov.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.
