Existing and Proposed Septic Tank Usage <br /> Existing Septic System <br /> One septic system is currently located on the Site (Plate 2). <br /> Proposed Septic System <br /> Mr. Jimenez plans to add to the existing septic system to serve the expanded house <br /> and construct a new septic system for the new residence. <br /> On-Site Septic Permit History <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were <br /> searched for the Site address. No permits were identified. <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 36 septic systems per <br /> square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. <br /> The vicinity of the Site is composed of orchards, agricultural land, and rural residences <br /> on the west side of Interstate 5; on the east side of the highway is a <br /> commercial/industrial area. <br /> Septic Permit History in the Vicinity <br /> Based on a review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental <br /> Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach <br /> lines; one permit indicated leach lines with sumps, and one indicated a filter bed. The <br /> septic permits can be found in Appendix 4 of this report. <br /> Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage <br /> Maximum expected usage on the Site would be from the current and future residents of <br /> the Site. Septic system design should be based on the San Joaquin County On-Site <br /> Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) or other engineering <br /> recommendations. <br /> LOGE 20-26 Page 2 <br />
