• SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY Introduction Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Rafael Viramontes to conduct a Soil Suitability Study for the property located at 6425 East Dougherty Road, Acampo, California (Plate 1). The Soil Suitability Study was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable for use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development Code. The formatting of the report has been designed to follow the recommendations of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil Suitability Study Requirements Checklist. Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into a homesite parcel and a designated remainder (Plate 2). Randy Roget, the owner of the site, plans to keep the homesite parcel. Mr. Viramontes, the buyer, indicated that he plans to plant vineyard on • the designated remainder (personal communication, August 4, 2017). Site Description The Site consists of Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 017-140-47, approximately 40 acres in size. It is located at 6425 East Dougherty Road, Acampo, California. The Site is an open agricultural field with a house, barn, and garage. A domestic well and an irrigation well provide water to the Site (Plate 3).
