SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnviron mental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Kim Ferriere and Ron <br /> Mendoza to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for their property <br /> located at 18895 and 18899 East Sierra View Court, Clements, 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 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 /> Ms. Ferriere and Mr. Mendoza propose to construct a three-bedroom primary residence <br /> and a two-bedroom accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the Site (Plate 2). <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 019-260-58, two acres in size. <br /> It is located at 18895 and 18899 East Sierra View Court, Clements, California. The <br /> parcel is currently unimproved (Plate 3). <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 140 to 170 feet above mean sea level. The Site is located on a <br /> hill, and the northern portion slopes down significantly to the north (Plate 4). <br /> According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org), the Site is zoned R-R, <br /> Rural Residential. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br /> states that this zoning designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural homesites <br /> within or adjacent to existing Rural Communities. Lots will general[ly] have sufficient <br /> area to allow for individual water supply, sewage disposal, and storm water drainage, <br /> but not to support significant commercial agriculture." <br /> LOGE 2622 Page 1 <br />
