SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Nick Jones of Ford <br /> Construction Company, Inc. to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading <br /> Study for the proposed Ford Construction Company facility located at 12505 East <br /> Brandt Road, Lockeford, 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 /> The proposed project involves a truck parking facility for a maximum of 10 trucks and 20 <br /> trailers. The application includes a materials and equipment storage yard and the <br /> construction of a 2,000-square foot office. <br /> Mr. Jones further noted that he plans to fence the Site into four quadrants (existing Lot <br /> A and proposed Lot B each divided in two), with the northwest quadrant to be used by <br /> Ford Construction. In that quadrant, one shop currently exists, and a second shop <br /> could be constructed. Mr. Jones indicated that an office would be constructed on the <br /> southeast quadrant as well, for use by another company. The three quadrants not used <br /> by Ford would be leased out to one or more other businesses. A new irrigation pond is <br /> planned for the northeast corner of the Site. Mr. Jones plans to place a septic system <br /> between the two storm ponds on the north side of the Site; the various structures on the <br /> Site will have individual septic tanks but will all feed into this leach field. <br /> A site plan is included as Plate 2. The site plan depicts only certain elements of the <br /> project discussed above. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) for the Site is 051-320-10. The Site is 25.12 <br /> acres (gross) in size. The County project application number is PA-1800204 (SA). The <br /> Site is located at 12505 East Brandt Road, Lockeford. <br /> LOGE 1848 Page 1 <br />
