SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Introduction <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (Live Oak) was contracted by Rachel Baxter to <br /> conduct a Soil Suitability Study and Nitrate Loading Study for the Rivera property <br /> located at 22120 and 22124 East Butler Lane, Linden, 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 9-604.010(d) of the San Joaquin County <br /> Development code. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> The owners of the Site will be constructing a new two-bedroom accessory dwelling unit <br /> (ADU) on the Site (Plate 2). <br /> Site Description <br /> The Site is defined as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 093-030-62, 2.73 acres in size. <br /> It is located at 22120 and 22124 East Butler Lane, Linden, California. The additional <br /> addresses of 512, 538, 541, and 550 North Hewitt Road appear to refer to a larger <br /> property that once included the Site, according to permit records reviewed. A primary <br /> residence is currently located on the Site; the remainder of the parcel is open or <br /> landscaped (Plate 3). A domestic well supplies water to the Site. <br /> The elevation of the Site, according to a United States Geological Survey topographic <br /> map, is approximately 105 to 107 feet above mean sea level. The Site is relatively flat <br /> (Plate 4). <br /> According to the San Joaquin County District Viewer (sjmap.org), the Site is zoned R-R, <br /> Rural Residential. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br /> states that this zoning designation "is intended to provide for large lot rural homesites <br /> within or adjacent to existing Rural Communities. Lots will general[ly] have sufficient <br /> area to allow for individual water supply, sewage disposal, and storm water drainage, <br /> but not to support significant commercial agriculture." <br /> LOGE 2611 Page 1 <br />
