RE: Comments concerning drainage contained in J"N 0 9 199H
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR KAIZA'S MASTER r»lTV AP CARLSBAD
TENTATIVE MAP - CT 94-01/HDP 94-03
Dear Mr. Munoz;
I have been representing Dale Schreiber concerning the
proposed alignment of the Master Drainage solution for what
has now become the PONTO BASIN.
I have reviewed the mitigated Negative Declaration
issued for the current Poinsettia Shores Master Tentative
Map and the Biological Review which was prepared for the
project.
The State Lands Commission and City of Carlsbad based
on approved documents reserves review and approval of any
DESILTATION BASIN. The comment concerning mitigation for the
WEST SIDE DESILTATION BASIN for issuance of a grading permit
does not include the City of Carlsbad.
I have been unable to get from you or any other person
the specific pipe alignment or desiltation basin design so
that the impacts can be sufficiently analyzed or whether the
80" pipe can wind its way through or around the gas line,
the utility cables in the area, or the three high pressure
sewer lines coming from Leucadia. I object to the City of
Carlsbad completing its review without consideration of the
design of the WEST SIDE DESILTATION BASIN or alignment of
the EIGHTY INCH PIPE which needs to be designed for upwards
of 250 C.F.S. of drainage water entering the lagoon.
The impacts of the desiltation basin include not only
the ground upon which it will be located but the impacts of
the spillway and piping system carrying the water into the
lagoon as well as the water which will flow into the lagoon
at a location which currently appears to be a feeding area
for the birds.
. As you will notice, the Biological Report considered
only the physical location of the desiltation basin and not
the remainder of the construction project needed to carry
the drainage water to the lagoon. The report is incomplete
and the statement in item #3 may be correct but the
construction project for the desiltation basin to function
will include construction into the lagoon's delineated
wetland boundary. Whether there are other sensitive areas
has certainly not been addressed in the report. The report
for the eastern basin includes not only the berm but
includes the concrete spillway and the downstream area
adjacent to the lagoon.
I am pleased to note that the biologist has identified
a new growth of Coastal Sage upon the berm of the eastern
desiltation basin which was created in or about 1984.
Apparently, Coastal Sage can be grown with only a natural
watering process on a steep slope. With the proof of this
process, I am assured that the any new berm could support a
much larger area of Coastal Sage as the size of the western
desiltation basin will be at least 4 times the size of the
current eastern desiltation basin.
Mr. Schreiber does not have the monetary resources to
continue to debate with the staff of City of Carlsbad
concerning the alignment of the pipe and the location and
design of the desiltation basin. The person requesting that
the drainage alignment and desiltation basin be located in a
particular location should have the obligation to present
the complete information for review.
In the event that the pipe alignment and desiltation
basin location and design are produced, then and only then
can the impacts for construction and the environment be
adequately addressed. Mr. Schreiber paid for an eastern pipe
alignment and a probable design of the eastern desiltation
basin and had the project costed. This alignment and costs
associated therewith are attached as Exhibit A.
Even though I have requested this information on many
occasions, I have never been provided with a specific
alignment or desiltation basin design so that the impacts
associated therewith could be evaluated.
Apparently you and the staff are prepared to recommend
to the City Council of Carlsbad that the alignment and
desiltation basin should be approved without the benefit of
seeing the specific project. That precisely has been my
debate with the staff for the last two years and my position
has not changed.
I implore you to require the specifics of this project
not only because of the impacts of construction and the
environment but also because of the large bermed reservoir
needed to create the desiltation basin adjacent to 101 and
the Least Tern Site.
