Soil Suitability Nitrate Loading Study <br />Manteca Unified School District <br />5700 East Nile Ave., Manteca, CA <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />1.2 PRESENT AND PAST USES OF THE SITE <br />Condor Earth reviewed the USGS, Manteca Quadrangle, and historical aerial photographs provided by San <br />Joaquin County Surveyors Office to assess land use in the general area from 1937 to 1975. GoogleEarthTM <br />aerial photographs were reviewed for years 1993-2017 for more recent information. Based on historical <br />information, the Site has been primarily agricultural with rural housing developments prior to 1962. Based <br />on review of aerial photographs from 1993 to 2017 it appears that four additional rural residences were <br />developed south-southeast of the Site. <br />The Site currently consists of Nile Garden Elementary School. The school was built in 1963 including the <br />administration building, library, multipurpose room and classrooms. Several classrooms have been added <br />for a total of 42 classrooms. In 2005 the library and classrooms were remodeled. Copies of historical aerial <br />photographs are included in Appendix B. <br /> <br />1.3 EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE <br />1.3.1 Existing On-Site Septic Tank Usage <br />Condor Earth performed a search of the EHD website for records pertaining to existing septic tanks and <br />found references to three existing septic tanks onsite. According to historical permits, a functioning <br />8,000-gallon septic tank was installed in the western portion of property south of Building C in October <br />1962, a 7,000-gallon septic tank was installed in the eastern portion of the property south of Building A in <br />October 1962, and a 4,500-gallon septic tank was installed in the southeastern portion of the property south <br />of the library in April 1971. Leach line additions to the first two septic tank systems were permitted and <br />installed in January 1965 and January 1970. <br />1.3.2 Site Septic Permit History <br />Table 1 <br />Site Septic Permit History for Address 5700 East Nile Ave. Manteca, CA <br />Date Permit # Type Tank Size <br />(Gallons) <br />Leach <br />Line <br />Quantity <br />Leach <br />Line <br />(Feet) <br />Length Quantity/Size <br />Seepage <br />Pits/Sumps <br />1962 14862 Septic Tank 8000 5 55 each 20'x30' <br />1962 14893 Septic Tank 7000 2 100 each 20'x30' <br />1965 18415 Leach Line <br />Addition --- 4 50 each --- <br />1970 70-146 Leach Line <br />Addition --- 3 100 each --- <br />1971 71-234 Septic Tank <br />and Leach 4500 6 100 each --- <br />1.3.3 On-Site Septic Tank Repair History <br />There were no on-site repair permits found for this address. <br />1.3.4 Existing Septic Tank Usage in The General Area <br />To assess septic system density for the vicinity of the Site, Google Maps aerial photos were reviewed to <br />gauge residencies and agricultural land use. Based on 16 buildings/residencies within 0.5 miles of the Site <br />it's assumed that at least each building has one septic system. Refer to Section 1.3.5 for description of septic <br />tanks in the general area. <br />CONDOR
