SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Brent and Janelle <br /> Holfman to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property <br /> located at 7272 East Lathrop Road, Manteca, 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 in accordance with the <br /> requirements of Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development code. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> The Holfmans propose to divide the Site into ten, approximately two-acre parcels (Plate <br /> 2). The adjacent Mitchell Road to the south will be extended onto the Site to provide <br /> access. <br /> Site Descri tion <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 218-050-01, approximately 20 <br /> acres in size. It is located at 7272 East Lathrop Road, Manteca. <br /> A house and shop are located on the Site. A domestic well serves the house. The <br /> remainder of the Site is almond orchard (Plate 3). <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 39 to 40 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat <br /> (Plate 4). <br /> According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org), the Site is zoned AU- <br /> 20, Agriculture-Urban Reserve with a minimum parcel size of 20 acres. The San <br /> Joaquin County Community Development Department states that this zoning <br /> designation "is intended to retain in agriculture those areas planned for future urban <br /> development in order to facilitate compact, orderly growth and to assure the proper <br /> timing and economical provision of services and utilities." <br /> LOGE 2217 Page 1 <br />
