July 11, 2007 <br /> NOA Project Number: E07094A <br /> P3.5 Septic Permit History in the Vicinity <br /> The septic systems in the vicinity appear to utilize leach lines with seepage pits. <br /> 3.6 Septic Repair Permit History in the Vicinity <br /> The septic system repairs in the vicinity appear to be for the addition of leach lines and seepage pits. <br /> ! 3.7 Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage <br /> Three residences, a meditation center and an assembly hall currently exist on the site. A residence <br /> for eight monks, a residence for two nuns and a residence for one monk exist on site.Within the <br /> next five years, a new assembly hall will replace the existing temple. The proposed assembly hall will <br /> - serve eight monks, once per month and approximately 150 attendants once per year. <br /> The existing assembly hall will have a seating capacity for 499 attendants. This building will be used <br /> - five days in a row, once per year for an annual religious ceremony.The temple has an existing septic <br /> system of one, 1200 gallon grease trap, two, 1200 gallon septic tanks, three, 100 foot leach lines and <br /> three 25 foot by 36 inch seepage pits. For the high use time of year of five days in a row, one time <br /> per year, the owners of the temple have brought in temporary portable bathroom units. The owners <br /> are proposing to expand the existing system to incorporate this peak flow time and no longer have <br /> to bring in the portables. The owners indicated that the ceremony visitors prefer to use the inside <br /> a restrooms,verses the portable toilets. <br /> S <br /> 4.0 GROUND WATER INFORMATION <br /> F 1 4.1 Ground Water Depth and Gradient <br /> 1 The San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (1998 and 1999) ground <br /> water depth and elevation maps were reviewed to determine the ground water levels near the Site. <br /> F The Fall 1998 and Spring 1999 maps are the most current official maps available from the county. <br /> According to these maps (Plates 3-6),ground water lies between 60 and 70 feet below ground <br /> surface in the vicinity of the site. The groundwater appears to flow to the south through the <br /> immediate vicinity of the site. <br /> No ground water was encountered by the staff of Neil O. Anderson &Associates, Inc. during the <br /> i drilling of a percolation test hole to a depth of 25 feet on June 5, 2007. <br /> 4 <br />
