i [1] INTRODUCTION FFde,Otie Suitability Study presents the results of our investigation concerning the soil strata and ter under the above-referenced subject property. Our study was completed to 1.) if the homesite Parcel that is being split-off remains acceptable for a septic system that ion properly for its anticipated lifespan, and 2.)provide-recommendations based upon the environmental criteria encountered in this study. This study also analyzed water:from the on- site domestic wells for nitrate and the agrichemical DBCP/EDB concentrations. 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. a -_ [2] SUBJECT SITE AND STUDY AREA BACKGROUND INFORMATION The subject property will consist of two Parcels: Parcel L will be Mr, and Mrs. Kelley's residential parcel which contains an existing house and barn, and will be 1.8.acres gross. A variance was granted from the San Joaquin.County Board of Supervisors to allow this Parcel to be less than 2.0 acres-in size. The Kelley's have lived in this house for.several years. The remaining Parcel is referenced as the "Designated Remainder. Mr. Ross Brown's residence is located to the east of Parcel t, within this Remainder Parcel.-It will consist of 12.49 acres gross and is currently planted in almonds. Prior to almonds,the.land was planted in corn, vetch and alfalfa. The attached Tentative Parcel Map illustrates the.designations and orientation of the a subject Parcels. The property is currently zoned AG 40. There are three domestic wells on the subject property. On Parcel t, there is an old pump house dwell that does not have a pump. In 1998, a new domestic well was drilled.for this Parcel and is approximately 180 feet deep. The domestic well on the Designated Remainder that serves Mr. Brown's residence is_14 years old and is 280 feet deep. The topography of the site is flat; therefore, no design criteria for slopes would have to be incorporated into a possible repair or new septic system. On-site stormwater drainage flows toward the surrounding almond orchard. The property is located west of the city of Ripon and south of the city of.Manteca. The study area consists predominately of agricultural production land-primarily almond orchards, row crops and pasture land. Surrounding structures consist of low density single family housing, residential ranchettes-and barns. Sewer hookups to the city of Ripon or the city of Manteca will be decades away, if ever. . A review of Application Permits on file with the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department indicates there have been three Applications for Repairs/Additions to septic systems 47 1.. _- Nay Ag Research
