I. INTRODUCTION Dillon & Murphy was retained by Anita Slicton to perform a Soil Suitability Study for the properties located at 6801 and 7903 S. Mobley Road, Farmington, CA. The subject parcel numbers are APN 185-110-01 and 185-120-02. The purpose of the study is to determine the suitability of the property for septic tank usage as required by the County. The study was performed according to the requirements of Section 10100 of San Joaquin County Development Code. 11. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The property is currently zoned AG-40. The Slicton property consists of two parcels totaling approximately 373 acres (see Appendix for map). It is proposed to divide the parcels into eight separate parcels and a parcel of land designated as an "unsurveyed remainder". The eight parcels will be divided into 40 acre parcels. At this time there are no immediate plans for development. Each parcel is a potential homesite parcel. III. PRESENT AND PAST USE OF THE SITE Both parcels have historically been farmed with row crops. The parcels contain four agricultural wells. The agricultural wells are located along the east line of the project. There are several drainage ditches and irrigation ditches throughout the property. IV. EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE All parcels will require septic systems when developed. I have no knowledge of septic system failure in the surrounding areas. Only general maintenance have been done to some existing systems in the area. See permits 76-213, issued March 16, 1976, and a permit issued to Morton on March 28, 2003. Other permits showed some existing septic systems in the area; see permits 93-1190, issued June 28, 1993, permit no. 16273, issued September 17, 1982, and permit no. 68-714, issued August 2, 1968. Septic systems in the general area seem to have good functionality. No immediate development on the subject parcels has been anticipated. At the time that development does occur, it is recommended that a standard system will suffice on Parcels 2 thru 8 due to the soil lithology and percolation rates in this area. Parcel 1 will require an engineered system (discussed later in this report). Septic permit applications have been researched and included in the appendix of this report. All applications are for properties within one mile of the subject parcels. Predominantly, the septic systems consists of septic tanks, leach lines, and pits. Engineered systems have not been required in this area. 1 C:\0396 Soil Suitability Study 070604
