(§ 1.0) INTRODUCTION This Soil Suitability Study presents the results of my investigation concerning the soil characteristics and groundwater under the subject property referenced on the Title Page. It was completed to satisfy the requirements of the San Joaquin Environmental Health Department (EHD). Although this Study was to be completed before the issuance of a Building Permit, a Permit was issued to start homesite construction, and the home is approximately 70% complete. Analysis and recommendations have been provided in this report based upon the environmental criteria encountered. My report is in compliance with the requirements for a Soil Suitability Study under Development Title, Section 9-1105.2 Item (d). Within the text of this Report, bolded Section (§) numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable sentence, paragraph or paragraphs, or Appendices that correspond with the EHD Requirements Checklist for a Soil Suitability Study. (§ 2.0) SUBJECT SITE AND STUDY AREA BACKGROUND INFORMATION (§ 1.19 1.2, 3.7) The subject Parcel is part of an antiquated subdivision, and can be considered the third Parcel on Tiffani Lane, west of Steinegul Road. A new single family residential structure is in the process of being constructed by the owner of the property, Ms. Jessica Montes, as depicted on the Site Schematic found in Appendix A. Current zoning is AL-1 . A second unit dwelling could be built on the subject Parcel (with S.J.C. Planning Department approval) since there is obvious sufficient area. This would create two septic systems ort-approximately 10 acres, or one system per five acres, which can be considered very low density. (§1.44)The S.J.C. Parcel Viewer Map found in AppendWA illustrates the subject property as being completely fallow. As referenced, the house is under construction, a driveway has been constructed and the domestic well has been drilled. (§ 1.1 and 2.1) The subject property is 4.5 miles northeast of City of Escalon. Surrounding property use consists predominately of agricultural production land - primarily rice ground, underground irrigation water conveyance structures to the west (Oakdale Irrigation District), confined animal facilities, and new residential development on 10 acre lots to the east and west of this project. Housing is low den�s'ty. Municipal sewer will probably never serve this area, or at least not for several decades. (§ 4.2) Any of the above-land use could create environmental concerns that may be discovered in the future. Environmental concerns would primarily result from the over- application of nitrogen fertilizers and not from septic system density. (§ 3.1, 3.3) The project is of an antiquated subdivision that has always been in agric al production, and there i o on- ite septic tank usage for this Parcel. Therefore, there ' no on-sit septic tank repair histo i (§ 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6) Found in Appendix C, is a copy of a septic system permit from EHD microfiche files for a system installed at the intersection of Steinegul and Lone Tree Roads (one- quarter mile from the site) in 1975.
