PUBLIC HEALTH 'SERVICES <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY z <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION N `` <br /> Karen Furst, M.D., M.P.H., Health Officer <br /> `A <br /> i <br /> 304 East Weber Avenue, Third Floor • Stockton, CA 95202 �rFou <br /> i 2091468-3420 <br /> f <br /> E <br /> March 1, 1999 <br /> i <br /> To: Dharm Strah <br /> 16101 Grant Line Road <br /> Tracy, CA <br /> Application UP-96-6 was approved with the attached conditions. San Joaquin <br /> Environmental Health Division issued septic permit 4016502 on August 6, 1998. You <br /> should have performed condition one prior to obtaining a septic permit. <br /> On October 11, 1998 I was called to inspect a commercial septic system being <br /> installed at 16101 Grantline Road Tracy by Mark Morton. The system consisted of three <br /> (3)tanks carrying a total of 6000 gallons in capacity leading to eight (8) one hundred-foot <br /> long leachlines. I signed the permit since all work was performed in accordance with the <br /> standards of San Joaquin County and our office issued a permit. <br /> On February 16, 1999 I witnessed a soil suitability perk test by Walter Curtis on <br /> this same property. This test failed for two reasons. The percolation rate was 120 <br /> minutes per inch. This does not meet our 60 minutes per inch requirement. The <br /> investigation also showed the ground water to be six feet four inches (6'4")to seven feet <br /> six inches (7'6") from the surface. San Joaquin County Public Health Services <br /> Environmental Health Division- Sewage Standards, Section 10.3.11 states "there shall <br /> be a minimum of a three (3)foot separation between the bottom of a leach field trench or <br /> ponds and perched water and a minimum of a five (5)foot separation between the bottom <br /> of the leach trench or ponds and the static groundwater table. The depth to the bottom of <br /> the trench from the top of the ground is three and one-half feet (3 %')minimum. The <br /> depth between the bottom of the trench and the top of the water table is two foot and ten <br /> inches (2'10"). This is well under the five-foot (5')minimum. Either of these conditions <br /> would make the use of leach lines in this area unacceptable. <br /> Therefore we are rescinding the previously issued permit to use the septic system <br /> at 16101 Grantline Road. A package treatment plant or a mounded system is the <br /> acceptable forms of septic disposal for this soil with this high water table. <br /> If you have any questions regarding this matter, contact Johnny Yoakum, E.H.S. of my <br /> staff at (209) 468-3147. <br /> Karen Furst M.D.;M.P.H. <br /> F <br /> Health Officer <br /> Mike Huggins, Supervising R.E.H.S., R.D.I <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> (1) Enclosure <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
