§ 1.1 The SJC District Viewer Map indicates the subject Parcel is 0.46 acres net. The Tentative Map is in the process of being prepared by Zack Wong, PE of Wong Engineers, Inc., and has not been completed as of the date of this report. Description of the site and present land use of the property can be observed by the Photographic Plates and captions found in Appendix E. § 1.2 Ms. Jennings proposes to subdivide the property into three contiguous Parcels through a Minor Subdivision and construct single family residential (SFR) structures on two of the three new Parcels. An existing SFR will remain on its own Parcel. There are also three outbuilding structures on the Parcel. § 1.3 The District Viewer Map and APN Map denoting the location of the property is found in Appendix A. § 1.4 The Photographic Plates illustrate the property and the items currently located on the property, as follows: Attached to the SFR are a covered car port and a back patio; three separate unattached storage sheds; a domestic water well, a presumably defunct septic system; four large trees which were recently cut down or trimmed; and many non- hazardous, discarded items of very little to no value. §2.0 PAST,PRESENT AND PROPOSED FUTURE USES OF THE SITE §2.1 Past utilization of the property more than one hundred years ago was agricultural dryland and possible flood irrigated farming. Surprisingly, no EHD permits associated with the subject property address were found in the EHD Public Records files. Permits for adjacent properties were reviewed,however no septic system permits were found. Therefore, it is assumed septic systems and domestic wells were installed before County permits were required. Past and present uses of the property are discussed in the next Section. Future use of the property is to subdivide the existing Parcel into three Parcels. § 3.0 IDENTIFICATION OF ALL PAST AND CURRENT SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION §3.1 Discussion of the methods used to research and investigate the potential or known above- ground and/or below ground sources of contamination at the site include the following: The first informational gathering source was interviewing the current tenant, Ms. Lorrie Schanks-Eads, who has lived on the property for the past 25 years. She provided access and information on the entire property, with observations referenced in this report. There is upgradient, crossgradient and downgradient cropland to the east, north and west of the property where nitrogen fertilization has most likely occurred and may have contributed recent nitrogen to the underlying aquifer(s). Groundwater nitrate contamination may have also originated from historical septic system density in this locale. Page -3- Chesney Consulting
