EXISTING LAND USE <br /> The existing land, except for the homesite and out buildings, is planted in pasture. <br /> The south portion is fenced and cross-fenced, however, this portion not occupied <br /> by the house is not irrigated. <br /> Previous use was probably grazing land. <br /> SOILS <br /> Soils data was obtained from the "SOIL SURVEY OF SAN JOAQUIN <br /> COUNTY, CALIFORNIA", Issued October, 1992. <br /> Parcel 1, and parcel 2, 3, Qn,/4- <br /> The soils map indicates that the soil type for these parcels is San Joaquin Loam, <br /> thick surface. Typically, the surface layer is a pinkish gray loam. The upper subsoil <br /> is a brown sandy clay loam. The middle portion is a claypan of brown clay. The <br /> lower portion is a brown and light brown indurated hardpan. <br /> The average rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 1.0 inch per hour. <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> Based on the test results and the performance of the septic systems in the area, it is <br /> my opinion that the subject parcels are suitable for the existing and proposed septic <br /> systems. <br /> Per San Joaquin County ordinance, The maximum depth for dry wells (pits) is 25 <br /> feet. Since the depth to groundwater is 130+/-, per San Joaquin County's semi- <br /> annual groundwater report, the dry wells will be 105+/- feet above the <br /> groundwater elevation. <br /> Based on this information, the existing and future septic systems should not <br /> adversly affect the groundwater in the area. <br />
