Community Development Department states that this zoning designation "is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of commercial agriculture enterprises." Existing and Proposed Septic Tank Usage Existing Septic System No septic systems are currently located on the Site. Proposed Septic System A new septic system will be constructed for the new building. On-Site Septic Permit History The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were searched for the Site addresses. Two septic permits were identified: • June 1984 permit for new system at mobile home. The system utilized a 1,600- gallon tank and two 80-foot leach lines. • December 2010 permit for destruction of septic tank. The permit notes that the mobile home was being demolished, but the well remained in service. These permits have been included in Appendix 4. Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least 56 septic systems per square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site; the mobile home park to the northeast was only counted once because it is assumed that the homes share a common septic system. The Site is located in an area with mixed agricultural, highway commercial, and rural residential uses; many nearby parcels are vineyards. Septic Permit History in the Vicinity Based on a review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach lines with seepage pits; one permit indicated leach lines only. The septic permits can be found in Appendix 4 of this report. LOGE 2107 Page 2
