SEWER REPORT
Introduction
The following is a Sewer Capacity Analysis Report for the Private Sewer System within the
Oakmont of Carlsbad project (Lot 1 ), which is part of the Carlsbad Oaks North Master
project. The private system has been designed using the Uniform Plumbing Code required
for private system design. The UPC requires a minimum slope of 2.0% and sets maximum
drainage fixture units for all pipe sizes. The sewer system within the Oakmont of Carlsbad
site has been designed to meet these standards and specifications.
Methodology
As discussed with City of Carlsbad, Private Systems are not designed according to Public
Sewer Design standards (City/County Standard) but using the aforementioned UPC. City
design standards for public sewer systems use an alternative methodology for calculating
discharge, minimum slopes velocity and capacity which will make the analysis flawed if
methods/standards were to both be followed. The Oakmont of Carlsbad system follows UPC
guidelines for pipe sizing and does not go below 2.0% slope as directed by City of Carlsbad
in one of our initial meetings.
Sewer Generation
Below is a summary of sewer generation calculations that compare the existing land use at
the site (industrial) to the currently proposed land use (residential, with no kitchen).
SEWER GENERATION SUMMARY
ZONE ACREAGE UNITS FACTOR REDUCTION FLOW
,j # gpd
(E) INDUSTRIAL 277,913 800 gpd/10,000 sf 0.5 • 11,117
(P) RESIDENTIAL,
NO KITCHEN 151 220 gpd/EDU 0.6 • 19,932
1 Reduction for 50% coverage
2 Reduction for no kitchen use within each unit
The proposed sewer generation flow is considered conservative as Carlsbad bases their
residential factor at a 220 gpd/EDU rate based on 2.76 residents per unit where Oakmont
Senior Living facilities typically only have one resident per unit. In addition, the residents
rarely, if at all, are able to use the kitchen facilities within their own unit. Even though the
kitchen reduction factor is applied, the 220 gpd/EDU basis is considered an over-estimation
of the actual generation within the Oakmont units.

SEWER REPORT
Public System Impacts
Since the proposed Oakmont land use potentially generates more sewer flow than does the
existing site land use, analysis of the City's municipal system is warranted. Proposed site
flows of 19,932 gpd have been provided to the City to confirm the increase does not
significantly impact the existing public system. Impacts will be assessed via computer model
from outside City consultant and will be reported on when the data becomes available.
Onsite Pipe Sizing
For onsite pipe sizing, the DFU's stated on the provided sewer plan have been converted to
CFS. Pipe sizing analysis using FlowMaster software has been performed each pipe
segment of the onsite private sewer system. Per calculations included, the pipe size,
minimum fixture units, minimum slope (2.0 %), and minimum velocities(> 2.0 fps) have been
provided for the system utilizing the UPC design guidelines.
Conclusion
The sewer flows proposed at the Oakmont Senior Living facility are considered conservative
in nature. Pending results of the City analysis for offsite public system impacts, the private
sewer system described here is considered acceptable for construction.

spreadsheet for future development in LFMZ I was provided by City Staff. The spreadsheet, which
includes parcel numbers, is more detailed than the Growth Database backup sheet and was used to
locate future development in LFMZ I, which is primarily redevelopment in the downtown area.
Once future development projections were finked to parcels, a map of future development was
prepared and reviewed for accuracy. In the Growth Database, once building permits are issued the
development is assigned to that calendar year and is no longer considered future development.
Construction does not necessarily begin right after permits are issued, however, and it may take several
years before developments are occupied and contributing sewer flows. This creates a lag berween
"existing" and "future" development. Since future flows based on the Growth Database are added to the
existing hydraulic model with 2009 wastewater flow data, development projects with recent building
permits that have not yet been constructed or are not yet contributing wastewater flows need to be
included. To identify these developments, projects in the Growth Database with building permits issued
in the past three years were reviewed together with the most recent land use map, aerial photographs,
and water use records. This investigation identified developments that were not contributing
wastewater flows during the 2009 metering period and resulted in a significant increase in "future"
development, primarily in some of the newer industrial parks, portions of Bressi Ranch, and in
Robertson Ranch, where building permits have already been issued for the first phases.
Several additional refinements were also made to the modified parcel-based growth database to account
for future flows to the wastewater system. These included:-
• Future recreation facilities in parks and a future high school in LFMZ 14 were added.
• Residential properties that currently have septic systems were added on the assumption that
they will ultimately connect to the sewer system. These parcels were identified by City Staff
based on water and sewer billing records.
• Residential units within the service areas of the La Golondrina and La Costa Meadows Ill Lift
Stations were added to account for the additional flows that have been re-directed into
Carlsbad with the construction of new gravity sewers and the recent removal of the lift stations.
• Buildout projections for the proposed residential development known as Quarry Creek (LFMZ
25) were updated based on updated planning information provided by City Staff.
• The residential categories were modified to separate high density development (apartment
complexes, as noted in the growth database backup sheets) from all other residential
development. This was done to more accurately project sewer flows, which are influenced more
by the number of people per household than the lot size.
Exhibit 2 in Appendix A illustrates the parcels with future development within the sewer service area.
5.3 FUTURE FLOW GENERATION FACTORS
Flow generation factors are used, in conjunction with the modified Growth Database, to project
ultimate wastewater flows. Unit flow generation rates were developed and presented in Chapter 3 of
this report based on 2009 flow data. For planning purposes, more conservative unit flow factors are
typically used. The City's established planning value for wastewater flow is 220 gpd/EDU. Flow factors
typically used for design of sewer systems throughout San Diego County range between approximately
200 gpd/EDU in the Cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach, to 250 gpd/EDU in the City of Vista. The City
City of Carlsbad
SEWER MASTER PLAN 5-4
DUDEK
April 2012
of San Diego Water & Sewer Design Guide r ecommends the use of 80 gallons per capita day (gpcd),
which equates to 197 gpd/DU for the City of Carlsbad (based on 2.46 persons per household). Based on
these comparisons and the calculated unit flow rate for current conditions, the previously established
flow generation rate of 220 gpdfEDU is considered to be appropriately conservative for flow projections
in this master plan update. A lower unit flow factor of 176 gpd (80 percent of 220 gpd/EDU) is applied
to high-density residential units in excess of approximately 20 units per acre (apartment complexes).
A non-residential land use flow factor of 800 gpd per I 0,000 square feet of building area is applied to
commercial and industrial development projections in the Growth Database. The composite
commercial/industrial unit factor was approved by City Staff for planning purposes, and is higher than the
average unit flow calculated in the unit flow analysis documented in Section 3.7. It is noted that
projections made using this factor are based on a mix of development types in-existing
business/industrial parks and may not be representative of smaller areas with a single land use type. Flow
projections for future schools. resort hotels, and t:he expansion of the Legoland Water Park are based
on EDU conversions documented in the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Table 13.I0.020c).
The unit flow factors established by City Staff to project ultimate wastewater flows in this Master Plan
Update are summarized in Table 5-2.

High School 7.33 gpd/student
Hotel 132 gpd/guest room
Water Park (Legoland) 3,740 gpd/developed acre
5.4 PROJECTED ULTIMATE FLOWS
Wastewater flow projections for future developments are made by applying the unit flow factors to the
future build-out data in the modified Growth· Database. Future wastewater flows are projected to be
approximately 2.1 mgd and are summarized in Table 5-3. The future flows are based on flow projections
for future development, and also include unit counts for existing residences that currently have septic
systems and areas in LFMZ 6 that previously were pumped to L WWD from the La Golondrina and La
Costa Meadows Li~ Stations. It is noted that a minor wastewater service area boundary adjustment is
assumed in the future to serve existing LWWD customers within the area of a proposed residential
development: located on the west side of El Camino Real, just south of Poinsettia Lane.
