(§ 1.0) INTRODUCTION FrThisoil 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), specifically: 1.) To determine if the proposed four Parcels to be created from this subdivision are acceptable for the proper operation of a septic system which will function as intended for its anticipated lifespan, and 2.)Provide analysis and recommendations based upon the environmental criteria encountered in this study. This report is in compliance with the requirements for a Soil Suitability Study under Development Title Section 9-1105.2 Item (d) of the San Joaquin County Ordinance Codes. 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 (§ 1.1, 1.2, 2.1 ) The purpose of this project is to subdivide an existing 18.64± acre Parcel, into four Parcels denoted as Parcel 1, 2, 3 and a Designated Remainder. The proposed acreage for each 2) Parcel is indicated in Table 1 below. Mr. Bucher is applying for a Deviation Request for this project subdivision resulting in Parcel sizes that will be within 91% of the zoning minimum. The subject property area is depicted on the S.J.C. Parcel Viewer Map found in Appendix A. The property(except the Designated Remainder Parcel) has been in agricultural row crop 12,)) production,most recently tomato production. There is an irrigation well at the southern edge of the property, near the center. A domestic well is located in the southeast corner of the proposed Designated Remainder Parcel. This Parcel is the northwest corner Parcel of the four Parcel subdivision. Two houses are located on the Designated Remainder and separate septic systems serves each residence. No other residential structures may be built on this proposed Parcel. Any new homes that may be built on the remaining three Parcels will have their own domestic wells and septic systems. (§3.7) Each Parcel orientation is denoted on the attached Tentative Map. It is possible EHD would support a second unit dwelling on proposed Parcel 1, 2 and 3 if these dwellings comply with all of the County standards. If a primary house and second unit dwelling were built on Parcels 1, 2 and 3, and there already exists a second unit dwelling on the Designated Remainder Parcel, this (3• � would give a total of eight septic systems on the four Parcels comprising approximately 18.64 acres. This is a density of one septic system per 2.33 acres,which can be considered approaching the maximum allowable septic system density. (§ 1.1 and 2.1) The subject property is eight miles southeast of the town of Lodi. Surrounding property use consists predominately of low density single family homes, ranchettes,pasture, tree crops, a confined animal facility(poultry ranch), other types of ag buildings. Current zoning is AL-5. Municipal water and sewer will probably never serve this area, or at least not for several decades, since it is so far removed from any municipality. Page-1- Chesney Consulting
