existing home, and a second system serves the apartment (Plate 2). A domestic well <br /> provides water to the Site. <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 15 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat (Plate 3). <br /> According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org), the Site is zoned AG- <br /> 40, General Agriculture with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. This zoning <br /> designation "is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of <br /> commercial agriculture enterprises." <br /> Existing and Proposed Septic Tank Usage <br /> Existing Septic System <br /> Two septic systems are currently located on the Site (Plate 2). <br /> Proposed Septic System <br /> No new septic construction is proposed. <br /> On-Site Septic Permit History <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were <br /> searched for the Site address. Three permits were identified: <br /> • July 1967 permit for addition to residential septic system at two-bedroom house. <br /> A 60-foot leach line was added to the existing system. At the time, Kile Road <br /> was considered part of Walnut Grove Road. <br /> • September 1974 permit for addition to residential septic system at two-bedroom <br /> house. A 70-foot leach line and two sumps were added to the existing system. <br /> These permits have been included in Appendix 4 of this report. <br /> Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity <br /> To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that <br /> exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery <br /> from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have <br /> one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least 12 septic systems per <br /> square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. <br /> The vicinity of the Site is primarily composed of vineyards, with occasional rural <br /> residences. <br /> LOGE 20-15 Page 2 <br />
