April 17, 2019 <br /> BGG Job No. G001.05 <br /> The proposed improvement area currently contains asphalt concrete pavement for vehicle and truck <br /> traffic and is flanked by vineyards to the north and south. The existing winery facility is located to <br /> the south of the proposed guard station area(Plate 2—Site Plan). The site is relatively level with <br /> elevations varying between approximately 32 to 35 feet above mean sea level (MSL),according to <br /> Google Earth mapping. According to the San Joaquin County Community Development <br /> Department, the subject property is zoned AG, general agriculture. <br /> EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC SYSTEM USAGE <br /> Existing Septic System <br /> No septic systems are currently present at the site. <br /> Proposed Septic System <br /> A new 1,500-gallon septic system is proposed to serve the new Guard Station facility (Plate 2). <br /> On-Site Septic Permit History <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were searched for the <br /> Site address. No permits were identified. <br /> Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity <br /> To estimate the septic system usage in the area,we used professional judgement to identify potential <br /> septic systems that exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the project site. Google <br /> Earth imagery was utilized. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have one septic <br /> system. Using this method, it is estimated that approximately 30 to 40 septic systems per square <br /> mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. <br /> The general site area primarily consists of the Delicato Family Vineyards winery facility and <br /> orchards,vineyards,and open agricultural land. Several residential ranchette properties are located <br /> in the site vicinity. <br /> Septic Permit History in the Vicinity <br /> A review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department for <br /> nearby properties indicated that most septic systems in the area utilize leach lines. <br /> Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage <br /> Maximum expected usage for the proposed onsite septic system will be from the future employees at <br /> the Guard Station. Septic system design should be based on the San Joaquin County On-Site <br /> Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) or other engineering recommendations. <br /> GROUNDWATER INFORMATION <br /> Groundwater Depth and Gradient <br /> We reviewed ground water elevation information available from the California Department of Water <br /> Resources Water Data Library (CA WDL) and the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water <br /> BAEZ GEOTECHNICAL GROUP Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study-DFV Guard Station Page 2 <br />
