I . INTRODUCTION Dillon & Murphy was retained by Jim Ehlers to perform a soil suitability study for the Ehlers property located at 3830 E . Woodbridge Road, Acampo, California. Mr. Ehlers is proposing to split the property into two parcels . The subject parcel number is APN 013-220-08 . The purpose of the study is to determine the suitability of the property for septic tank usage . The study was performer) according to the requirements of Section 10100 of San Joaquin County Development Code . II. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The property is currently zoned AG-20 . The Ehlers property consists of a roughly rectangular shaped 24 . 0 acre parcel ( see tentative map in Appendix) . It is proposed to divide 1 . 5 acres (Parcel 2 ) from the northeasterly portion of Parcel 1 . There are two houses (one abandoned) with a shop and a shed on the proposed parcel (Parcel 2 ) . There is an operational septic system on Parcel 2 . The proposed split is being done as a minor subdivision to separate the existing home and improvements from the rest of the farm. III . PRESENT AND PAST USE OF THE SITE _ The majority of the site is vineyard and, according to the present owner, has always been used for agriculture . As mentioned above, there are two existing houses with a shop and a shed. IV. EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE As mentioned previously there are existing structures on Parcel 2 serviced by an existing septic system. There are no existing ;structures on Parcel 1 . Any future homes will be serviced by separate septic systems . Historically , systems in this area have been septic tanks with conventional leach fields . -' It is evident from the percolation results ( see Appendix) that the soil in this area is adequate for such septic systems . There have not been any unusual problems with the existing system. Based on available information from nearby neighbors , there does riot appear to be a history of septic system failures . V. GROUND WATER DEPTH AND TESTING According to the map of "Lines of Equal Depth to Water in Wells" published fall 1990 by the San Joaquin County Flood . Control and Water Conservation District, the depth to groundwater at this location is approximately 50 feet . _ 1
