SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Introduction <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Gabby Nunez to <br />conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at <br />12622 E. Harney Lane, Lodi, 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 />Ms. Nunez plans to construct a new three-bedroom home on the Site. <br />Site Description <br />The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 063-240-07, 3.12 acres in size. <br />The Site is located at 12622 East Harney Lane, Lodi (Plate 1). <br />A five -bedroom home, garage, barn, and shed are currently located on the Site. A <br />septic system and domestic well serve the existing home (Plate 2). A storm drainage <br />ditch runs across the Site. <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 73 to 74 feet above mean sea level.

The San Joaquin County <br />Community Development Department states that this zoning designation "is intended to <br />recognize and preserve areas that contain existing concentrations of small-scale <br />agricultural operations and dwellings." <br />LOGE 2203 Page 1 <br />
