Document Description
The project site is located just southeast of the City of Tulare and not within any adopted Tulare County Developed Boundary or Urban Area Boundary and is zoned AE-40 (Exclusive Agriculture - 40 Acre Minimum). The property is near the Woodville Landfill. The property owner is constructing a new well to supply the property with water for the agricultural uses consistent with the existing zoning. The new location of the well is unable to meet the minimum setbacks for the septic tank and leach lines. The Engineer recommends that an annular seal be installed in the proposed well depths ranging between 200 and 320' bgs to minimize the potential for contaminant short-circuiting through the filter pack. The beneficiary of the project is the applicant.
