SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY Introduction Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Keith Decker and Dondra Nickell to conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at 4569 East Harvest Road, Acampo, California. The Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study are combined under this report cover and presented as two sections of this report. The formatting of the report has been designed to follow the recommendations of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department as described in its Soil Suitability Study Requirements Checklist and Nitrate Loading Study Requirements Checklist. The Soil Suitability Study was conducted to determine whether the soils are suitable for use with a septic system. The study was performed according to the requirements of Section 9-1105.2(d) of the San Joaquin County Development code. Proposed Development Mr. Decker and Ms. Nickell intend to place a 24- by 40 -foot modular studio house on the Site (personal communication, September 10, 2021). Site Description The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 017-020-06, 0.15 acres in size, located at 4569 East Harvest Road, Acampo (Plate 1). The Site is currently vacant, except for a domestic well on its east side (Plate 2). The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic map, is approximately 59 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat (Plate 3). According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org), the Site is zoned R -R Rural Residential. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department states that this zoning designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural homesites within or adjacent to existing Rural Communities. Lots will generally have sufficient area to allow for individual water supply, sewage disposal, and storm water drainage, but not to support significant commercial agriculture." LOGE 2145 Page 1
