<br />Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Study <br />DUARTE PROPERTY <br />11855 Mountain View Road, Tracy, California <br /> <br /> <br />1.0. INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />AdvancedGeo, Inc. (AGI) has prepared this Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Study <br />(Study) for the property located at 11855 Mountain View Road, Tracy, California (site or <br />subject property). The purpose of this Study is to determine the potential impact from <br />nitrate loading and the suitability of the subsurface for an onsite wastewater treatment <br />system (OWTS) for the proposed addition of a residence, septic system, and the future <br />use of the property. The study was performed in accordance with the requirements of <br />Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Community Development Department. <br />The scope of work included a soil percolation test, groundwater sampling of the onsite <br />domestic water well, review of published soil and groundwater information, local septic <br />use and permit research, and estimated nitrate impact to soil and groundwater at the site. <br />The site and surrounding area are illustrated in Figure 1. A site plan depicting structures, <br />the locations of the percolation test hole, the domestic water well, the existing septic <br />system, and the planned locations of the proposed residence and septic system are <br />illustrated in Figure 2. <br /> <br /> <br />1.1. DESCRIPTION OF SITE <br /> <br />The location of the site, surrounding properties and general setting is illustrated on the <br />Tracy topographic map (7.5 Minute United States Geological Survey (USGS) <br />Topographic Series, California). The site is located in the northwestern portion of <br />Section 32, Township 2 South, Range 5 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian <br />(Figure 1). <br /> <br />The map shows the property located at an elevation of approximately 70 to 75 feet above <br />mean sea level in an area of low topographic relief. The regional slope of the area is <br />relatively gentle and dips toward the northwest. <br /> <br />The property is located on the north side of Mountain View Road, approximately 500 feet <br />east of the intersection of Mountain View Road and Corral Hollow Road, Tracy, California. <br />The site consists of a 2.01-acre parcel identified as San Joaquin County Assessor Parcel <br />Number (APN) 242-030-050. The current land use type of the property is single-family <br />residential. The existing structures on the site include a two-bedroom 932-square foot <br />house and a domestic water well. An existing septic system is located at the property and <br />connected to the existing house. The size and construction details of the existing septic <br />system are unknown and there are no records on file at the San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department (EHD) for the septic system. The property is provided <br />potable water from the existing domestic water well located on the site (Figure 2). <br />
