� w <br /> The site has one home on it with a septic system and leach field. Also, there is one agricultural <br /> well. There are several storage buildings which store assorted farm equipment and supplies as <br /> needed. <br /> I <br /> According to the owner, there are.no buried tanks on the property. There are no visual signs of <br /> any such tanks (ground settling, irregular ground, etc.). There is no fuel stored on this site. <br /> As previously stated, the majority of the site has been farmed as an orchard. Chemicals have <br /> historically been used in the farming operation. All chemicals are applied per manufacturer's <br /> recommendations and are applied under permit (Podesta Farms Permit number 351). The <br /> k permit is effective through December 31, 2003. (See Appendix) <br /> k <br /> The depth to groundwater in this vicinity is approximately 300 feet. This relatively deep <br /> groundwater does not typically become severely impacted by pesticides, insecticides, or <br /> fertilizers. The types of products used on this site are consistent with the surrounding property. <br /> According to the land owner, there are no known pesticide containers buried on the property. A <br /> visual inspection did not produce any evidence of buried containers. The field investigation also <br /> did not yield any unusual (noxious) odors. <br /> p Conclusion and Recommendation <br /> Based on visual observation, County records from the San Joaquin County Agriculture <br /> Commissioner's Office, the San Joaquin County Contaminated Site List, and testimony of the <br /> property owners, there appears to be no surface contamination. Given the scope of this study, <br /> the probability of subsurface contamination should be considered low and normal to this region. <br /> Since additional ground water testing will be done in conformance with the Soils Suitability <br /> Report, no additional study is recommended at this time. Based on visual observations, no <br /> corrective action is necessary at this time. <br /> According to the property owners, they have farmed the property for many years and plan to <br /> continue farming. A new home is proposed on the 5.00 acre parcel. In the future, further <br /> groundwater testing could be performed and should be considered in designing a domestic well. <br />+ As a precaution, soil testing could be performed at that time. These recommendations do not <br /> imply there are contaminants. <br /> 2 <br /> C N21071Surface and Subsurface Report <br />
