SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY' <FINDING.S A. SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING STUDY.AREA INFORMATION SSS'§ 1.1. The-project site is-near the terminal end of North Jacob Brack Road, north of Turner Road: Jacob Brack Road is the west frontage road of Interstate 5 at this location. There are no Municipal utilities near the site and probably never will be, at least not for several decades. Consequently; the Winery facility must utilize a decentralized domestic wastewater management system and on-site well water. Surrounding land use to the north, south, east and west of the7prcject is, and has been, in agricultural-production formany decades. The closest-developinentmay be considered Flag City at the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 12. ;The City of Lodi is.approximately eight miles to the.southeast.. The two subject Parcels are zoned AG-40, Agricultural. Before the subject Parcel was planted in vineyard, forage crops- primarily corn for milk cow silage was grown. At the time of vineyard planting;the soil was ripped with an eight-foot slip plow. The areas where percolation testing was conducted had been ripped. _ SSS '31,3.2s 3.3,3.41)3.5 3.6. Applications on microfiche file with the EHD reveal that there have been no permits'issued for repairs/additions to existing.systerris_within a one-half mile surrounding the project site,'.except for the on-site residential structure.. Permits in this specific area . of San Joaquin County would be few since County land surrounding theWinery site-is sparsely developed. No'septic system permits for the installation of the aforementioned on-site mound system were found: The project site has relatively level terrain; consequently, there will be no need to incorporate design considerations for slopes within the disposal area: Nor are there dramatic elevational differences between the lift station from the actual Winery facility to the proposed-.effluent disposal area. B. SOIL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS°AND ANALYTICAL.TEST RESULTS The United States Department of Agriculture - Soil Conservation Service (USDA-SCS) indicates the on-site soils that will accept the facility's domestic wastewater to consistof a.Deyries sandy loam (#149). This corresponds with the laboratory soil texture analyses.-_ SSS'§ 5.2. .Thesurface and subsurface soil investigation and testing began with excavating two backhoe test pits at the east and west test locations. These two deep excavations provided: 1.) A profile of the underlying soil characteristics, 2:) Depth to groundwater, which was found to be approximately_nine feet below grade for both locations; 3.).A.sample of saturated soiVformation material, and 4 ) A water table sample-for analysis, as illustrated in-Table 4. No rust mottling was observed.in either.of these test excavations, which would indicate seasonal soilsaturation. Chesney Consulting
