SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Gary Glendenning to <br /> conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at <br /> 7001 East Southland Road, Manteca, 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 9-604.010(d) of the San Joaquin County <br /> Development code. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> Mr. Glendenning proposes to construct a second home on the Site. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 218-070-03, approximately <br /> 2.14 acres in size. It is located at 7001 East Southland Road, Manteca, California <br /> (Plate 1). <br /> A primary residence is currently located on the Site; the remainder of the parcel is <br /> vacant or landscaped (Plate 2). <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 37 to 40 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat <br /> (Plate 3). <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 2618 Page 1 <br />
