Soil Suitability Study 3 <br /> One ( 1 ) of the nine permits reviewed was for changing the <br /> existing system by installing one ( 1 ) , 100 ' long, leach line and two <br /> ( 2 ) pits 36" in diameter and 25 ' deep . <br /> Four (4) of the permits reviewed were for initial facilities . <br /> Three (3) of these initial facility permits were for constructing <br /> 35 ' to 80 ' long leach lines draining into pits 33" to 48" in <br /> diameter and 25 ' deep. One of the initial installations was for <br /> just a 80 ' long leach line. <br /> The remaining permit was for installing an 80 ' long leach line <br /> draining into a sump. <br /> The soil types listed for the nine (9) permits studied were of <br /> three (3 ) classifications ( clay loam, clay and hardpan) . Five ( 5) <br /> of the permits listed the soil as clay loam. Two ( 2 ) of the permits <br /> listed the soil as clay and the remaining two (2 ) permits listed <br /> the soil as hardpan. <br /> Existing Use: <br /> Except for the existing homesite and a barn, the land involved <br /> in this soil suitability study, is devoted to the raising of <br /> cattle. Both the house and the barn will be situate on Parcel No. <br /> 1 in the planned divided condition. The house will be situate at <br /> the westerly boundary line of Parcel No . 1 and the barn will be <br /> situate in the southeast corner of Parcel No . 1 in the planned <br /> divided condition. <br /> Soil Profile Test : <br /> No water was encountered in excavating any of the Soil Profile <br /> and Percolation Test Holes to a maximum depth of ten ( 10) feet . The <br /> San Joaquin County Flood Control And Water Conservation Map <br /> entitled "Lines of Equal Depth To Water Wells" dated Fall 1990 <br /> shows the water to be in excess of 100 feet below the ground <br /> surface . <br /> On my attached "Field Percolation Data Sheets" , I have noted <br /> the soil encountered to be of three (3 ) types , ( 1 ) a reddish-brown <br /> sandy loam and (2) gray sand and (3) gray clay. The University Of <br /> California publication entitled "Soils Of San Joaquin County, <br /> California" by Walter W. Weir , dated June 1952 , refers to the soil <br /> in this general area as "San Joaquin and/or San Joaquin loam, <br /> deep" . <br /> F.vered J . (Red) Mason MS-91-40 <br />
