INTRODUCTION <br /> The purpose of this project is to divide a 5.00 acre parcel from a 160 acre parcel. In accordance <br /> with the San Joaquin County Development Title, this Surface and Subsurface Contamination <br /> Report (SSCR) is being submitted for application with the tentative map. This report will <br /> investigate the property for visual or historical environment contamination based on field <br /> observation and testimony from the owners. <br /> This report includes no chemical analysis. A Condition of Approval for the Minor Subdivision <br /> will require percolation tests and groundwater tests from the wells (nitrates and DBCP). Those <br /> results will be included in the Soils Suitability Report. <br /> Project Description <br /> The project consists of one parcel located at 8129 N. Podesta Lane, Linden. The project is in a <br /> farming community and is surrounded by agricultural land. It is zoned AG-40. The site has one <br /> home and is currently an orchard. See tentative map included in the appendix. <br /> The proposed 5.00 acre parcel will contain a future homesite. The remaining parcel has an older <br /> home located on it and historically has been farmed. Irrigation is provided via a private <br /> agriculture well. <br /> Project History Q� <br /> The primary source of information on the historical use of the property is testi om the U-J- -• <br /> o_,w=s and records from the County (San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner's Office <br /> and the San Joaquin County Contaminated Site List). The Podesta family has owned the <br /> property for more than 50 years. This property and all surrounding properties have had basically <br /> consistent uses (farming) in the time the Podesta's have owned the property. <br /> A review of County Records for the past five years (see Appendix) yielded chemical use <br /> consistent with the historical use of the property (orchard). The property has been farmed by the <br /> same family, for at least the last fifty years. <br /> Field InyestilZation <br /> The following information was obtained during a field investigation of the site as well as <br /> interviewing the property owners. <br /> 1 <br /> C:121071Surface and Subsurface Report <br />
