I. INTRODUCTION Dillon & Murphy was retained by Gordon Roget to perform a Soil Suitability Study for the property located at 23020 N. Sowles Rd., Acampo, CA. The subject parcel number is APN 007-370-04. 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. ll. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The property is currently zoned AL-5 (limited agriculture). The Roget's property consists of a 13.13 acre parcel (see appendix for map). It is proposed to divide a 5.00 acre parcel and an 8.13 acre parcel. By current zoning, each parcel is entitled to a homesite parcel and a second unit dwelling. III. PRESENT AND PAST USE OF THE SITE Presently, Parcel 1 is an orchard. It has been an orchard for many years. Parcel 2 has a mobile home, garage, and workshop on site. Parcel 2 has one existing domestic well. The mobile home on Parcel 2 has a septic system including three leach lines with three forty foot leach lines and twenty-five foot pits. The system was installed in 1976. In 1996, a fourth leach line and pit was added under permit and noted as a "repair" of the system. Parcel 2 also has a shop building with its own septic system. The system includes a septic tank, two leach lines 40 feet long with pits at the end. The system was built in 1994. Neither system has experienced any unusual failure. Parcel 2 has a depressed area that was used for a runway at one time. Past uses yield no expectation of potential problems. IV. EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE Parcel 1 will require a septic system when developed. I have no _ knowledge of septic system failure on the property. Currently, on Parcel 2 there is a mobile home site and an existing septic system including pits (see permit #76- 762 and SR0009025 in appendix). The system was installed in 1995. The system was "repaired" in 1996 by adding a fourth leach line and pit. The Conditions of Approval for this project requires the owner to demonstrate that the leach lines do not encroach within ten feet of the new property line. As an amendment to the original submittal of this report, I have added numerous septic permit applications to the appendix of this revised report. All of the reports are on properties located within a one mile radius of the subject property. Predominately, the septic systems are concrete septic tanks with leach lines and seepage pits. There is an instance on one property where pits were not 1 C:\01116\SOILS REPORT 082703
