Soil Suitability Study APN: 209-190-16 UP-96-6 Existing-Use: The present property has a house, a garage and a storage building and three large tanks located on it in the southeast corner of the property. A new church building is planned for development immediately east of the storage building as shown on the attached "Site Plan" . The remainder of the property to the west and north is unimproved and presently wide-open, undeveloped land. I` Soil Profile Test : On my "Field Percolation Data Sheet" , I have noted the soil encountered to be dark grey in color in the upper strata and reddish-brown in color in the lower strata and either a dense clay in the upper strata and a crumbly clay in the lower strata. The University Of California publication entitled "Soils Of San Joaquin County, California" by Walter W. Weir , dated June 1952 , refers to the soil in this general area as ambrose clay, dark brown in color with good surface drainage and imperfect subsurface drainage. The parent soil is listed as alluvial soils derived as outwash from hard sedimental rock (sandstone, shale , and metamorphosed sedimentary) sources . The Soil Survey of San Joaquin County, California, United States Department Of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, issued October 1992 lists the soil type as Stomar Clay Loam, 0% to 2% slopes . Though permeability slow it is very deep and well drained. The physical and chemical properties of the soil are listed as follows : Soil Name Depth Clay Permeability Shrink Swell Available jI_n_ches) 46 ( Inches/Hr . ) Potential Water Capacity In In Stomar Clay 0-17 27-35 0 . 2-0 . 6 Moderate 0. 16-0 . 18 Loam 17-47 35-60 0. 06-0. 2 High 0. 15-0. 18 47-60 27-40 0 . 2-0. 6 Moderate 0 . 15-0 . 18 A Soil Profile Test Hole, SPH, was dug to a maximum depth of 7 '06" to use for Soil Profile reporting. See the attached "Field Percolation Data Sheet" and the "Site Plan" , as well as , the text of this report for specific soil layer character and location details . Water was encountered initially at a depth below the ground surface of 7 ' 06" when excavated on Saturday, 02/13/99 . On Tuesday, 02-16-99 the water level was recorded at a level of 6 ' 04" below the natural ground level . The water table in this area is known to fluctuate with the k seasons of the year . A contributing factor to the water table being Gurudawara Gur Nanak Parkash, 16101 West Gantline Road, Tracy, Ca. 3
