SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnviron mental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Abel Martinez to <br /> conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for his property located at <br /> 9216 West Lorraine Road, Tracy, California. <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 /> Mr. Martinez intends to construct a new two-bedroom home on the Site; a one-bedroom <br /> home is currently located on the property. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 248-060-24, approximately <br /> 0.97 acres in size. It is located at 9216 West Lorraine Road, Tracy (Plate 1). <br /> One house is currently located on the Site; the remainder of the property is vacant. A <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 135 to 140 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat <br /> (Plate 3). <br /> According to the San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br /> (www.co.san-joaquin.ca.us), the Site is zoned R-R, Rural Residential. This zoning <br /> designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural homesites within or adjacent to <br /> existing Rural Communities. Lots will generally 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 1914 Page 1 <br />
