The <br /> due—of the last inspection of the property was June 20, 2006. Section 9-905.12 of San Joaquin <br /> County Development Title states"Corrective Action: If the report indicates there are surface and <br /> subsurface contamination, corrective action shall be recommended in the report and concurred with <br /> by Environmental Health prior to the issuance of the building permit." Therefore, it is my <br /> professional opinion that no corrective action is required on the proposed Parcels that are to <br /> compose the subject property, as assessed. <br /> The probability of subsurface contamination fromlade or other types of agrichemicals, can be <br /> considered low-to-medium. Depth to groundwate of 10 fee would make impact from adverse <br /> constituents a higher probability in comparison to a groundwater depth. <br /> a e -6- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
