' • Kennedy/Jenks Consultants Section 2: Site Description ' Musco has contacted several owners of properties in the vicinity of the Facility for potential use of its reclaimed water. Musco is in the process of finalizing agreements with owners of the two properties currently identified for reclaimed water supply for beneficial agricultural use on their property, including the Jepsen Webb Ranch LLC (Jepsen Webb Ranch) and the Valley View Thoroughbred Farm properties. The reclaimed water would be used for agricultural irrigation. While these two properties would fully utilize projected reclaimed water supplies, Musco intends to continue investigating other potential reuse sites to the northeast and east of the Facility within Sections 25, 26, 35 and 36 on the valley floor in the future, including the former Cordes Ranch property. ' These two reclamation properties, Jepsen Webb Ranch and Valley View Thoroughbred Farm, are located on the Tracy Quadrangle (Township 2 South, Range 4 East, San Joaquin Soil ' Survey, 1972, Quadrangle#29) and are shown in Figure 1. 2.1 Reclamation Properties The Jepsen Webb Ranch, APN 209-240-26 and 209-240-27, consists of a 130-acre parcel located in the southern portion of Section 36, Township 2 south, Range 4 east, Mount Diablo ' Base and Meridian (MDB&M). This property is located approximately 2 miles east of the Musco Facility on the floor of the San Joaquin Valley. Currently this property is fallow. The topography of this area is relatively flat, ranging in elevation from 125 to 180 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The entire 130 acres are available for potential agricultural irrigation. The property is ' adjacent to Union Pacific Railroad to the north, residential home sites to the east, the Tracy Peaker power plant to the west, the Delta-Mendota Canal to the southwest, and agricultural land to the south. ' The Valley View Thoroughbred Farm, APN 209-23-19, consists of a 17-acre parcel located off of South Hansen Road approximately one mile east of the Musco Facility in the southwestern ' quarter of Section 35,Township 2 south, Range 4 east, MDB&M.

Land use along Hansen Road in the vicinity of this property is light industrial. '. 2.2 Historical Property Uses According to information given to Musco, the Jepsen Webb Ranch has historically been used for agricultural purposes, including forage and vegetable cropping. The property was irrigated with water from the Delta-Mendota Canal until the mid-1990s when the property's water entitlements were transferred. Irrigation water was then produced using an irrigation well located onsite. The land has not been irrigated for approximately three to five years. 1 Reclamation Report, Page 3 Musco Family Olive Company 9:Y5-grca'vaOT+nyab1a2l0iY1iN.�mus;soliveA3repuR�veUamaeon ryfmusco reGamroon r¢Fcr:�M 8.1204.8a
