I. INTRODUCTION This report contains the findings of the Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Studies completed for the proposed project. As a result of these findings, design parameters for the Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) are also included in this report, for the subject property owned by Mr. Mo Abar. These studies were required by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) and comply with the San Joaquin County Development Title, specifically Section 9-1105.2(d). Mr. Abar and Mr. Sayed Hashimi have provided the preliminary information to complete these Studies. Within the text of this Report, Bolded Section (§) numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable Paragraph or Paragraphs, 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. NLS§ 2.3. Mr. Abar's properties consist of four Parcels, each to be developed into single family residential Parcels, and each to contain an accessory unit (second unit) dwelling. The four Parcels are located on the east side of the terminal end of San Jose Road, as illustrated on the APN map in Appendix A. The subject Parcel for this Report is the third southernmost Parcel from the San Jose and Bethany Roads intersection. The two southernmost Parcels currently have two elevated building pads on each Parcel that have been constructed so that structures to be built will be above the flood plain. One elevated pad on each Parcel will be considered the primary residence and the second building pad will be regarded as the accessory unit dwelling for that Parcel. Since the City of Tracy sewer will not expand to this area for decades, if ever, this proposed development must operate with an onsite wastewater treatment system, commonly referred to as a septic system. For reasons discussed in this report, the OWTS must operate as a "mound system" for the disposal of domestic wastewater effluent. Domestic water for the subject Parcel will be exclusively supplied by an on-site well, which has been drilled, cased and developed, but there is no electrical service for operation. The well is located 710 ft south of the San Jose and Bethany Roads intersection and 45 ft east of the edge of pavement of San Jose Road. SSS§ 1.2. The Google aerial photo illustrates completion of the building pads for the southernmost Parcel and partial completion of the building pads for the subject Parcel. The total area of the subject Parcel is 2.65 acres. The following paragraphs summarize the purpose and findings of these Studies to fulfill the requirements of the EHD. Wastewater system operational and design parameters are also presented within this document to facilitate the transfer of information to EHD: 1 Chesney Consulting
