HWY 120, Ripon <br /> APN: 24506029/30, SR0084280 <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has reviewed the Soil Suitability/Nitrate <br /> Loading Study (SSNL) dated September 23, 2021 for the above noted location and has the following <br /> comments for your consideration. <br /> The SSNL was prepared to determine the suitability of the above noted parcel for onsite wastewater treatment <br /> system (OWTS) usage and the potential long-term nitrate loading impact to groundwater from the proposed <br /> commercial OWTS. <br /> Based on the information provided the EHD can make the following findings: <br /> a. The SSNL supports the suitability for standard OWTS usage and a standard OWTS may be installed <br /> for the proposed development pursuant to San Joaquin County Ordinance Code Title 9, Section 9- <br /> 1105.2(d). <br /> Note: A standard septic system for this project requires a minimum tank capacity of 6,750 gallons & <br /> 5, 220 square feet area for the filter bed. <br /> b. Alternatively, the OWTS may be installed according to the engineered/alternative OWTS plans and <br /> recommendations found in this study. If the owner chooses the engineered/alternative OWTS design: <br /> obtain a Commercial Alternative/Engineered Designed System Permit and install the OWTS based on <br /> the designs and recommendations of the engineer. The OWTS must pass inspection before final <br /> approval of the OWTS permit. <br /> c. Audible and visual alarms are required if a lift station is installed. Testing of the audible and visual <br /> alarm are required before final approval of the OWTS permit (SJC OWTS 10.5). <br /> d. Open, pump, and backfill any septic tank to be abandoned on the site under permit and inspection by <br /> the Environmental Health Department (San Joaquin County Development Title, Section 9-1110.3 & 9- <br /> 1110.4). <br /> If you have any questions please contact Aaron Gooderham, Registered Environmental Health Specialist, <br /> REHS, at agooderham@sjgov.org or (209) 616-3062. <br /> r <br /> teven Shih, REHS <br /> Program Coordinator <br /> CC: Chesney Consulting <br /> P.O.
