SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br />Intrnrlur_tinn <br />Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Maira Navarro to <br />conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the property located at <br />336 East Watters Road, French Camp, 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. Navarro and her father, Miguel Navarro, purchased the Site in 2017 with two <br />houses present. She indicated that the second house was constructed in 1984. As a <br />result of an inspection at an adjacent property, the San Joaquin County Environmental <br />Health Department became aware that both houses share a septic system and required <br />the Navarros to install a second system, triggering the requirement for this report <br />(personal communication, September 28, 2021). <br />Site Description <br />The Site is composed of Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 193-310-04, 1.03 acres in <br />size. The Site is located at 336 East Watters Road, French Camp, California (Plate 1). <br />The existing second home has been assigned a new address of 342 East Watters <br />Road, according to Ms. Navarro. <br />Two houses are currently located on the Site. A domestic well and septic system serve <br />the houses (Plate 2). <br />The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br />map, is approximately 19 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat (Plate 3). <br />LOGE 2154 Page 1 <br />
