SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Monica Sweeny to <br />conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for her property located at <br />31296 East Rossier Road, Escalon, 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 />Ms. Sweeny intends to construct a second house on the Site (Plate 2). <br />• <br />Site Description <br />The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 229-200-08, 3.00 acres in size, <br />located at 31296 East Rossier Road, Escalon. <br />A three-bedroom home and a detached garage are currently located on the Site. A well <br />and septic system serve the existing home (Plate 3). <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 153 feet above mean sea level.
