SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Juan Ruiz to conduct a <br />Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for his property located at 11671 East <br />Ada Avenue, Stockton, California (Plate 1). <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. Ruiz intends to place a manufactured home on the Site. <br />Site Description <br />The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 103-270-08, 2.42 acres in size, <br />located at 11671 East Ada Avenue, Stockton. <br />A three-bedroom home, a shop, and a storage building are currently located on the Site. <br />A well and septic system serve the existing home (Plate 2). <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 54 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 R -R, <br />Rural Residential. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br />states that this zoning designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural homesites <br />within or adjacent to existing Rural Communities. Lots will generally have sufficient area <br />to allow for individual water supply, sewage disposal, and storm water drainage, but not <br />to support significant commercial agriculture." <br />LOGE 2144 Page 1 <br />
