SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Gary Wert of <br />Environmental Enterprises, Inc. to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading <br />Study for the II Vineto mobile home park, located at 11662 North Ham Lane, Lodi, <br />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 and Nitrate Loading Study were conducted to determine <br />whether the soils are suitable for use with a septic system, as well as to estimate if the <br />use of septic systems will impact ground water quality. The study was performed <br />according to the requirements of Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County <br />Development code. <br />Proposed Development <br />The engineered septic system at II Vineto is in need of repair/replacement, and <br />Environmental Enterprises has been retained to design the system repair. <br />Site Description <br />The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 059-250-03, 14.44 acres in <br />size.
