Existing and Proposed Septic Tank Usage <br />Existing Septic System <br />One septic system is currently located on the Site (Plate 2). <br />Proposed Septic System <br />A new septic system is proposed to serve the new house. <br />On-Site Septic Permit History <br />The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were <br />searched for the Site address. No permits were identified. <br />Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity <br />To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that <br />exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery <br />from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have <br />one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least 80 septic systems per <br />square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. <br />The Site is located within a rural residential neighborhood surrounded by vineyards with <br />scattered rural residences. Houston School is located approximately one-quarter mile <br />southwest of the Site. <br />Septic Permit History in the Vicinity <br />Based on a review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental <br />Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach <br />lines with seepage pits or leach lines with sumps; one permit indicated only leach lines. <br />The septic permits can be found in Appendix 4 of this report. <br />Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage <br />Maximum expected usage on the Site would be from the proposed three-bedroom <br />house. Septic system design should be based on the San Joaquin County On-Site <br />Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) or other engineering <br />recommendations. <br />LOGE 1906 Page 2
