CHRISMAN ROAD <br /> TRACY, CALIFORNIA <br /> TERRACON PROJECT NUMBER: NA207032 <br /> Our office was contacted by Mr. John Pickens to conduct a Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading Study <br /> (SS/NLS) for the property at 32851 S. Chrisman Road, Tracy, California, San Joaquin County <br /> (SJC). The formatting of this report has been designed to follow, to the greatest degree possible, <br /> San Joaquin County, Environmental Health Department (EHD) Soil Suitability Study <br /> Requirements Checklist, dated September 25, 2007 and Nitrate Loading Study Requirements <br /> Checklist, dated July 14, 2003. <br /> 1.0 SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> 1.1 Introduction and Development <br /> The Soil Suitability Study (SSS) was conducted to determine whether site soils are suitable for <br /> septic system usage. The study was performed according to the requirements of Section 9- <br /> 110.05.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development code. A major element of the field work <br /> included conducting percolation tests that meet absorption rates as specified by EHD. A review <br /> of published soil information, geologic maps, and groundwater information was also performed. <br /> 1.1.1 Site Description <br /> The site consists of an approximately 1.10-acre tract of partially developed land located at 32851 <br /> S. Chrisman Road, Tracy, California, San Joaquin County, California, Assessor Parcel Number <br /> (APN) 253-190-10. Based on information obtained online, the site is improved with an existing <br /> approximately 2,028 square foot(SF)three bedroom, 2.5 bathroom residence, septic system and <br /> groundwater well. <br /> According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer the site is zoned general agricultural (AG- <br /> 40). Based on a review of the San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br /> website, AG-40 designation is intended to "preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of <br /> commercial agriculture enterprises." <br /> According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Tracy 1981 and Vernalis 1991 <br /> California Quadrangles, the elevation of the site is approximately 200 feet above mean sea level <br /> with a topographic gradient generally sloping towards the northeast. <br /> Responsive■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 3 <br />
