Soil Suitability / Nitrate Loading Study <br />Cherokee Memorial Park Vineyard Chapel Addition ■ Lodi, California <br />March 5, 2021 ■ Terracon Project No. NA207102 <br />Responsive ■Resourceful ■Reliable 4 <br />the break room, janitorial and flower prep needs. Septic system design should be <br />based on the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards or other <br />engineering recommendations.” The 2015 SSS indicated a groundwater sample <br />collected from the onsite well was analyzed for Nitrate as Nitrogen (N) and <br />Dibromochloropropane (DBCP). Nitrate as N was reported at 0.12 milligrams per liter <br />(mg/L) and DBCP was reported below laboratory reporting limits. The 2015 SSS <br />additionally indicated, two shallow percolation test borings were advanced in the area <br />of the primary (P1) and secondary (P2) leach fields, at approximately three feet below <br />grade surface. Soils consisted of brown fine silty sand. Both soil percolation tests P1 <br />and P2, demonstrated satisfactory percolation rates of 15.63 and 20.83 minutes per <br />inch respectively. The report indicated a prior geotechnical investigation (Project <br />Number NA145054) did not identify groundwater in borings advanced to 16.5 feet bgs. <br />n Neil O. Anderson & Associates, a Terracon Company, Nitrate Loading Study (NLS), <br />Cherokee Memorial Park Chapel, 14165 North Beckman Road, Lodi, California dated <br />January 14, 2015 (Project Number NA145063). The 2015 NLS was prepared for a <br />13.25-acre parcel APN 061-030-47 and the Vineyard Chapel development and future <br />development. The following information was obtained from the report, soil <br />denitrification factor (20%), rainfall volume (5.16 inches/year), rainfall nitrate <br />concentration (1.0 mg/L-N), waste effluent quantity (employee/13 gallons per day[gpd] <br />and visitor/5 gpd), waste effluent nitrate concentration (85 mg/L-N), average daily flow <br />(1,614 gpd and 2,337 gpd). Nitrate loading results were reported at 17.1 mg/L-N and <br />22.1 mg/L-N above the maximum drinking water contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg/L. <br />n Neil O. Anderson & Associates, a Terracon Company, Engineered Septic System <br />(ESS), Cherokee Memorial Park Chapel, 14165 North Beckman Road, Lodi, California <br />dated August 17, 2015 (Project Number NA157002G). Based on a review of the report, <br />with the approval of the EHD, the waste effluent quantity for a visitor was reduced from <br />5 gpd to 2 gpd. The average daily flow for the Vineyard Chapel was revised to 669 <br />gpd. The nitrate loading calculation was revised to 7.2 mg/L-N, below the MCL of 10 <br />mg/L. <br />1.1.1 Site Description <br />The site consists of an approximately 51.18-acre tract of land located at 13951 North Beckman <br />Road, Lodi, California, San Joaquin County, California, Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 061-030- <br />71.Based on client interviews and a review of the historical information, the site is a cemetery <br />established in 1940 and is improved with approximately ten buildings, seven septic systems, one <br />domestic groundwater well, two irrigation wells, utilities, landscaped gardens, mausoleums and <br />monuments. The following table includes a list of the reported buildings and septic systems <br />currently located on the site.
