I. INTRODUCTION Mr. Ahmed Hussein, Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) United States Army, is proposing to construct an Ag Building, an Abattoir and livestock holding pens on property he owns at 7300 West Delta Ave. in Tracy CA. His operation will not be considered a commercial or industrial business. This Report contains the Nitrate Loading/Soil Suitability Studies and design details for the Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) as required by the San Joaquin County Environmental health Department (EHD). A required EHD Manure Management Plan has also been completed for this project and has been submitted under separate cover to the EHD Solid Waste Unit. These Studies provide the EHD with their required information regarding the examination of the underlying soil and groundwater, nitrate loading potential, and design parameters in conjunction with these findings. This report complies with San Joaquin County Development Title, Section 9-1105.2(d). Within the text of this Report, Bolded Section (§) numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable Paragraph(s), or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as SSS§, are sections applicable for the Soil Suitability Study Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as NLS§, are sections applicable for the Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. Other portions of text may also apply to other sections of the Checklists, but may not necessarily be referenced. NLS§ 2.3, SSS§ 3.1. The subject property is located on Delta Avenue at the southern edge of the San Joaquin Delta. There is no record of there ever having been a septic system on the property. There is an on-site well that currently provides water for the existing animals on the property and will serve the entire facility once constructed. SSS§ 1.1, 1.2. The SJC District Viewer and APN Maps illustrate the data and orientation of the two subject Parcels. Parcel 213-020-41 is 3.93 acres and Parcel 213-020-38 is 36.46 acres, for a total of 40.39 acres. The abattoir/ag building will be exclusively on Parcel 213-020-41. However, the SJC Community Development Department recognizes these two Parcels as one legal lot. Planning Application MS -93-0115 created the current Parcel configuration. The map recorded for this application is PM -21-0003A. Current land use of the property consists of importing soil to raise the building pad above flood elevation so that the referenced building can be constructed, and for animal husbandry. The testing protocol has found the indigenous soils under the proposed leachfield disposal area location to contain a predominate clay loam soil material possessing a comparatively favorable permeability considering the clay content of the soil. This is commonly observed in the Tracy area. Page -1- Chesney Consulting
