§ 1.2 The property subdivision and subsequent Tentative Map, has been prepared by Mr. Chavez and the firm Progressive Designs of Manteca, California. The project description is as follows: To divide 39.52 acres into two Parcels. The new proposed Parcel is to ;2.9—cr4acre�s�.)This Parcel is for construction of a new home for a family member and employee ony Dutra. The two subject Parcels composing this project and assessed for this report, have been outlined on the San Joaquin County Parcel Viewer Map. § 1.3 Parcel location map is found in Appendix A. § 1.4 A portion of the Site Map (Tentative Map) showing the location of all items on the subject Parcels is also found in Appendix A, with the addition of applicable items. These include driveways into the homesite building pads, and trees. There are no ponds or waterways, and since most of the acreage is in almond production, there are no natural drainage courses. Stormwater from the existing building pads and the existing homesite drains into the surrounding orchard. § 2.0. PAST, PRESENT AND PROPOSED FUTURE USES OF THE SITE § 2.1 Past use of the property has been for almond production, and as the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dutra. Associated farming practices have also occurred on the property. These include discing, spraying, pruning, harvesting and the planting of new almond trees. Present uses of the property remain the same as past uses. Future uses of the site will include the construction of the two referenced single family residential structures and eventual replacement of the almond trees. These activities should not contribute to potential environmental problems. § 3.0 IDENTIFICATION OF ALL PAST AND CURRENT SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION § 3.1 Discussion of the methods used to research and investigate the potential or known above ground and below ground sources of contamination at the site include the following. The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department Envisions Program was researched with the assistance of EHD counter staff. Sites within the one mile radius study area which may have contributed to surface or subsurface contamination to the subject property were researched on Tinnin Road, West Ripon Road, South Union Road, Veritas Road, and South Manteca Road. The only site listed was the Long Ranch, which is a swine farm located at the NEC of West Ripon Road and South Airport Way. This site cannot impact the subject property with groundwater contamination since it is downgradient with respect to groundwater flow. The Groundwater Lines of Equal Depth and Equal Elevation Maps found in Appendix F illustrate groundwater flow to be to the west, or toward the San Joaquin River. Page -3- Chesney Consulting
