(Live Oak) was contracted by Jesus Ureno to conduct <br /> a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for his property located at 29534 <br /> South Chrisman Road, Tracy, 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 /> A new one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit (ADU) will be constructed on the Site. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 253-230-06, one acre in size. <br /> It is located at 29534 South Chrisman Road, Tracy, California (Plate 1).
