SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Toheed Asghar of <br />Eclipse Capital to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the <br />property located at 26090 North Thornton Road, Thornton, California. <br />The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study are combined under this report <br />cover and presented as two sections of this report. The formatting of the report has <br />been designed to follow the recommendations of the San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil Suitability Study <br />Requirements Checklist and Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. <br />The Soil Suitability Study was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable for <br />use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of <br />Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development code. <br />Proposed Development <br />Mr. Asghar intends to construct a restroom serving a work crew of five people per day <br />on the Site. <br />Site Description <br />The Site is composed of Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 001-150-48, 0.60 acres in <br />size. The Site is located at 26090 North Thornton Road, Thornton (Plate 1). <br />The Site is currently vacant (Plate 2). <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 10 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat (Plate 3). <br />According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org ), the Site is zoned C-G, <br />General Commercial. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br />states that this zoning designation "is intended to provide for a wide variety of <br />specialized retail and service uses, normally developed as a separate individual entity <br />rather than as part of a cluster of uses, which serve Urban Communities or regional <br />markets, requiring large amounts of land, and which necessitate special purpose trips <br />by consumers." <br />LOGE 2130 Page 1
