SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Roberto Sandoval to <br />conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at <br />4845 Harvest Road, Acampo, California (Plate 1). <br />The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study are combined under this report <br />cover and presented as two sections of this report. The formatting of the report has <br />been designed to follow the recommendations of the San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil Suitability Study <br />Requirements Checklist and Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. <br />The Soil Suitability Study was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable for <br />use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of <br />Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development code. <br />Proposed Development <br /> <br />Mr. Sandoval proposes to remodel the one-bedroom house on the Site; the renovated <br />house will have three bedrooms. He intends to utilize the existing septic system for the <br />renovated house. <br />Site Description <br />The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) for the Site is 017-020-19. The Site is 1.00 acres <br />in size and is located at 4845 Harvest Road, Acampo. <br />A one-bedroom house, garage, and shed are currently located on the Site. A domestic <br />well and septic system serve the house (Plate 2). <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 60 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat (Plate 3). <br />According to the San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br />(www.co.san-joaquin.ca.us), the subject property is zoned R-R, Rural Residential. This <br />zoning designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural homesites within or adjacent <br />to existing Rural Communities. Lots will general have sufficient area to allow for <br />individual water supply, sewage disposal, and storm water drainage, but not to support <br />significant commercial agriculture." <br />LOGE 1906 Page 1
