Curtis Civil Engineer C.E. # 11584 418 Matthew Plaza Lodi, California 95240 Phone: (209)368-4159 May 8, 2000 San Joaquin County Public Health Service Environmental Health Division Subject: Soil Suitability Study for developing Parcel Nos. 1 and 3, 45.7 and 40.2 acres, respectively of the four(4)parcel Brovelli Woods Vineyards Tracy Lake Subdivision off of West Forest Lake Road at 2251 West Forest Lake Road near Lodi in San Joaquin County, California. Submitted for your review and consideration are the results of shallow and deep percolation tests and a soil profile tests conducted on the above referenced subdivision property owned by Mr. Thomas Zuckerman, 6282 Chesapeake Circle, Stockton California 95219, (209)478-5938. EXISTING LAND USE: The subdivision property is pretty much in its natural state. There is a lake within the subdivision boundary referred to as Tracy Lake. The source of water for this lake is winter storm watershed run-off into Jahant Slough, which eventually becomes Tracy Lake. The ground surface is rolling in character with small undulations in the terrain profile. The ground cover is composed of grasses growing to a uniform height of about two(2)feet above the ground surface. The grasses consist of an oat looking grass, a natural grass generally referred to as Fescue, Fox Tails and some thorns and thistles. Much of the vegetation on the subdivision property consists of large Valley Oaks, Live Oaks and various softwood trees such as Cottonwoods and scattered Digger Pines. The grasses provide excellent forage for cattle and some cattle were noted grazing within the subdivision boundary. At least two fenced, cultivated areas were noted. These cultivated areas are devoted to the growing of Sorghum to apparently attract doves into the area. The subdivision parcel lot lines have not been established in the field yet, so the test hole locations shown on the attached map and exhibit are approximate only and were established by field observations and scaling between common reference points on the two test hole location maps. The subdivision is bounded on the south by the Mokelumne River. Properties to the east, north and west are predominately under agricultural use and mainly devoted to the growing of vineyards. PLANNED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT: Parcel Nos. 1 and 3,45.7 and 40.2 acres, respectively,of the four(4)parcel Brovelli Woods Vineyards Tracy Lake Subdivision are proposed for development as homesites.
