SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Rikki and Brett <br /> McIntosh to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for their property <br /> located at 23811 South Jack Tone Road, Ripon, California. <br /> The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study are combined under this report <br /> cover and presented as two sections of this report. The formatting of the report has <br /> been designed to follow the recommendations of the San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil Suitability Study <br /> Requirements Checklist and Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. <br /> The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study were conducted to determine <br /> whether the soils are suitable for use with a septic system, as well as to estimate if the <br /> use of septic systems will impact ground water quality. The study was performed <br /> according to the requirements of Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County <br /> Development code. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> The Mclntoshes have recently built a three-bedroom primary residence on the Site. A <br /> new septic system will be installed to serve the residence. <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is composed of Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 228-170-34, 1 .51 acres in <br /> size. The Site is located at 23811 South Jack Tone Road, Ripon, California (Plate 1). <br /> A three-bedroom house is currently located on the Site. A domestic well serves the <br /> house (Plate 2). <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 58 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 AU- <br /> 20, agriculture-urban reserve with a minimum parcel size of 20 acres. The San Joaquin <br /> County Community Development Department states that this zoning designation "is <br /> intended to retain in agriculture those areas planned for future urban development in <br /> order to facilitate compact, orderly growth and to assure the proper timing and <br /> economical provision of services and utilities." <br /> LOGE 20-25 Page 1 <br />
