<br />LOGE 2126 Page 1 <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Eduardo Cuellar to <br />conduct a Nitrate Loading Study for his property located at 1245 and 1249 East Louise <br />Avenue, Lathrop, California. Two three-bedroom houses are currently located on the <br />Site. <br />According to Mr. Cuellar, when the second house was built, it was intended to be <br />connected to the municipal sewer system. Because the house instead utilizes an on- <br />site septic system, this study is being required by the San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department. <br />Because of statewide concerns of nitrate leaching into ground water from septic <br />systems, a nitrate loading analysis was required by the San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department for assessment of the existing development. The <br />study estimates the potential concentration of percolating effluent produced by septic <br />systems at the proposed project over the long term. Where percolating effluent leaches <br />into the ground, ground-water quality may be impacted to some degree should the <br />effluent reach the aquifer. <br />The formatting of the report has been designed to follow the recommendations of the <br />San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department as described in its Nitrate <br />Loading Study Requirements Checklist. <br />Site Description <br />The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) for the Site is 196-500-05, approximately 1.31 <br />acres in size. It is located at 1245 and 1249 East Louise Avenue, Lathrop, California <br />(Plate 1). <br />Two three-bedroom houses are currently located on the Site (Plate 2). Each house has <br />a septic system. The Site is connected to the municipal water supply.
