SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Brad Goehring and <br /> Berghill, LLC to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the <br /> property located at 22745 and 23649 East Harney Lane, Lodi, California (Plate 1). <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 /> A subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into eight parcels (Plate 2). Mike Berg of <br /> Berghill, LLC, one of the owners of the Site, indicated that the land will be used for <br /> agriculture and cattle grazing. Mr. Berg stated that there are no plans to build homes on <br /> the new parcels, though he indicated that a shop may be constructed near the center of <br /> the southern property line; the shop will not have a septic system (personal <br /> communication, July 29, 2020). <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site consists of Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APN) 067-040-01 and -09, <br /> approximately 690 acres in size. It is located at 22745 and 23649 East Harney Lane, <br /> Lodi, California. <br /> The Site is open, unimproved land. A new well has been drilled on the south side of the <br /> Site; it has not yet been connected to a pump. A second well (not currently operating) <br /> that provides water for cattle is also located on the Site (Plate 3). <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 195 to 304 feet above mean sea level. The Site consists of <br /> rolling hills (Plate 4). <br /> LOGE 20-29 Page 1 <br />
