i i � 5� I. INTRODUCTION This report issues the findings regarding the Nitrate Loading Study, Soil Suitability Study and Wastewater Disposal Operational and Design Parameters for the existing Bullfrog Landing Marina, LLC facility on Bacon Island Road near Holt, California. These studies were required by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) and comply with the San Joaquin County Development Title, specifically Section 9-1105.2(d). Mr. Carl Wenska is the manager/ operator of the facility, and has provided the preliminary information to complete these studies. The Site Plan and associated civil engineering/surveying information have been produced by Quartaroli & Associates of Manteca, California. Within the text of this Report, Bolded Section (§) numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable Paragraph or Paragraphs, or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as SSS§, are sections applicable for the Soil Suitability Study Requirements Checklist. Section Numbers referenced as NLS§, are sections applicable for the Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. Other portions of text may also apply to other sections of the Checklists. SSS, 1.2. The project currently exists as a marina incorporating boat docking and boat storage, two / { public restrooms, a small apartment complex for the on-site manager(Mr. Wenska), a store with no wastewater generation, and a proposed food preparation kitchen/bar facility on its own floating barge. The floating barge, building structure, and patio dining area are existing, but there is no food �•�� prep/serving area, and no service bar operations. However, all food/drink service operations are proposed to be completed in the future. NLS§ 2.3. The Bullfrog Marina is located in the middle-west edge of Lower Jones Tract Island. /i Domestic water for the project is currently supplied by filtered Delta water from the Middle River. (' A new well was drilled on the south (land) side of the levee, adjacent to the west side of the existing schoolhouse, and was sampled for this Study. It is proposed to use this new well water for the domestic water supply for the entire facility. An application has been made by EcoWater Systems of Brentwood, California to install and operate the water filtration system. The purpose of these Studies was to collect the following information to fulfill the requirements of EHD. Wastewater system operational and design parameters are also presented within this report to facilitate the transfer of information to EHD: • To 1.) Analyze the capacity of the indigenous peat soils in the proposed disposal area to accept the anticipated wastewater flows,2.) Assess the characteristics of the soil to mitigate nitrate impact, and 3.) Discuss operational parameters s of proper wastewater management and nitrate loading mitigation from e mound disposal syst� This was accomplished by the referenced testing, physicallcheitucal analys -opemti�orfaI parameters incorporated into the design of the i mound wastewater disposal system. • Conduct.soil-ploys cal and chemical testing to determine the following: Physical testing included pew rcolation tes�� t n,2nd analysis of the peat soil characteristics underlying the proposed of uen �~d�osal-area. Chemical testing included analyses for the constituents that influent itrate loading. _.. 1 Chesney Consulting
