The water mainline would be in conflict with the sewer lateral and to make this work, we have maintained one foot of cover under the water main and the result drop Is less than 1.2 foot. There is no possible way to get more than what we have now for the drop to main on this lot. We would like to go ahead and send this plan to the city for approval with your permission. Since this is a minor comment, I am hoping this does not hold us up. if possible, I can meet with you in person as the time it takes to route these plans to you and have them sent back is too valuable at this point.

However, I am sure that the most appropriate material for the reach to be relocated is welded CML&C steel pipe. This recommendation is based on corrosion and materials compatibility issues. I understand that a recommendation was made to install tape wrapped steel pipe with a mortar overcoat (CML&TW). Although I believe that CML&TW is an excellent material for water industry applications, it does not appear that it 1$ appropriate for this application. There are two exceptions to this recommendation. That is, it would be appropriate to use CML&TW if either one of the following conditions is applicable: 1. The existing pipeline is currently under cathodic protection (CP) and the CP system is reliable and well maintained; 2. The City intends to completely replace this line in the next five years. Although the pipeline was originally equipped with a pulsing rectifier and cathodic protection anode bed, Condition 1 does not apply. Mr. Jim Ball of the City of Carlsbad sent me the cathodic protection performance records. Based on these records, the 16466 Bernardo Center Drive, Suite B-275, Sa.it Dii-go, California 92128 (858)592.0226 • Fa/(aS8) 592-9206 • PcCCoipOpacbeil.ivei: .^snt By: WILSON ENGINEERING; 7604380173; Feb-4-^11 :02; Page 3/4 .FROM ':DeC CuriSu H-Ai U.s... FRX NG. : OSO 5920226 Feb. 03 3001 03:51PM P3 DeC CONSULTANTS. INC rectifier has not been operating since 1998. Furthermore, the pipe-to-soil potentials ai the La Costa Hi Vault (presumably at the reservoir) did not indicate adequate protection from 1998 to 1993 when the rennrds begin. Accordingly, this line is not cathodically protected. Additionally, the as-built drawings include no indications that the pipeline has corrosion monitoring test stations, continuity bonds at mechanical joints or is properly isolated. If this is so, it would be difficult to operate and maintain this system even if the rectifier was working. Accordingly, i can conclude that this system is not reliable or well maintained. Please note that the fact that the pipeline is not cathodically protected does not mean that it is without corrosion protection. As you know, a wetl-applied nnortar coaling alone provides adequate corrosion protection for steel pipe in many areas. I do not have enough information to make any further comments regarding this issue at this time. Based on our discussion, I have no information that the City intends to replace the entire line. Accordingly, I must assume that Condition 2 is also not applicable, tf I am wrong on This point, then I would advise the City to c:nnsult a corrosion engineer and consider the long-term reliability goals of the new line. If CML&TW was used instead of CI\/fL&C, I would not expect any immediate corrosion issues. However, this situation makes it possible for one or more galvanic corrosion cells to develop where ther« is a very small anodo- arjd c very Icrgfi c5thoc!«. !n this case, the small anode would be any pinhole dr flaw in the tape coating. The large cathode would be the existing mortar coated (nondielectric) steel pipe. Concentrated corrosion and rapid pitting can occur at the small anode. It would be wise to avoid this condition. Of course, we could install insulating flanges at each end ofthe CML&TW pipe reach to eliminate the gaJvanic cell. If we did this, we would eliminate the small anodeUarga cathode couple but, according to conventional CP practice, would create the need to provide CP for The tape-coated reach. In this case, we would have a pipeline that is partially cathodically protected. What is the point? Another equally absurd solution would be to provide CP for the entire pipeline with the two dissimilar materials bonded together. The design of such a system would be difficult, it may also be difficult to control the operation of this hybrid system and, as far as we know, we may be providing cathodic protection where it is unnecessary. The most reasonable solution is to simply replace the pipe material in kind (with welded or bonded joints) and bond (butt strap) the connections to the existing pipe. This will maintain the continuity of the entire pipeline assuming the existing line is fully continuous. There is no need to install test stations since they currently do not exist. ^ent By: WILSON ENGINEEflING; FROM ': DisC ConSu 1 tants 7604380173; Feb-4-^^11 :02; Page 4/4 FOX NQ. :85B 5920226 Feb. 03 2004 03:S2Pn P4 EteC CONSULTANTS, INC. My final comment has nothing to do with the question at hand. Nevertheless when I see a steei pipeline with a non-performing cathodic protection system, the'thought crosses my mmd that there could be consequences if the line really did need cathodic protection. Accordingly, I must recommend that the City review the corrosion status of tnis pipeline and take appropriate action to ensure its long-term performance, Please call if you have questions.

The current acreage of Lot 228 is 4.3. The acreage of Lot 228 on the Tentative Map (99-04) is 3.6. The difference between the proposed lot and the tentative lot is 0.7 acres. Morrow Development anticipates processing a tentative to further subdivide Lot 228 together with Lots 226,227 and 229. The total number of lots that will be proposed in the Tentative Map is 93. The total number of lots allowed by the Master Plan when re-subdividing Lots 226, 227, 228 and 229 is 93. Therefore, the lot line deviation between the Tentative Map (99-04) and the Final Map (99-04-02) should be considered substantially conforming to the Tentative Map.

This condition restricts development on Lot 223 within the regulatory floodplain, and is quoted below. "Prior to issuance of a grading permit for Lot 223, Developer shall obtain approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) from FEMA for any grading within the regulatory floodplain.

I want to reiterate that it is our goal to ensu (City Drawing No. 397-3C) is constructed in compliance wit Rules & Regulations. Per our conversation we discussed a f that required further clarification from CMWD. These items are listed uJi proposed 1" W.S.P. er District's lg operation Fill over existing 21" Water Main: In order to grade the area for the construction of the proposed 21" WSP it is necessary to fill over the existing 21" water main. This fill condition is located just north of the proposed connection at STA 10+00 and appears to be about 21.5' above the existing grade. Per our conversation it was determined that this condition should not jeopardize the integrity of the existing main as long as the fill over the existing main does not exceed 25'. If field verification indicates that this condition is not met I will notify you for further review. Remedial Grading/Alluvium Removals: Since the existing main is in a location where alluvial deposits are typically identified it may require remedial grading and removal of poorly consolidated soils around the pipe to minimize the potential of settlement due to the increase load from the fill condition. Per our discussion it was determined that removals would be done a minimum of 5' from the outside diameter of the existing pipe (5' above & 7' from pipe centerline) and projected at an angle of confluence from the bottom of the pipe (7' from centerline) as approved by the geotechnical consultant (1:1 slope). The underground contractor is going to pothole the existing main prior to start of removals to verify the depth of pipe and the compacted fill in the areas of removals will be brought to grade on each side of the pipe uniform until it is 5' above the existing main. Minimum fill over existing/proposed pipe during grading operation: During the construction of the proposed water main and during the grading operation for the project there is going to be construction traffic that will be traveling over isolated areas of the existing and proposed water main(s) where haul roads are required. Per our discussion it was determined that there should be a minimum of 3' of cover over the existing/proposed main in areas where construction traffic will be traveling over the pipe. In no case will construction traffic be traveling over the water main where this condition is not met. I will provide a copy of this letter to the field for distribution to all contractors and the city inspector to ensure that these conditions are met during the grading operation and construction of the proposed 21" main. Please let me know if there is something that I have missed or if you would like to add any additional comments to be distributed to the construction site.

Conditions for Approval As we discussed in our meeting on June 28,2005 the construction plans that we are currently processing, are for compliance with the previously approved Tentative Map CT 04-04 and appurtenant Conditions of Approval. With that said, I would like to address all of the concems that you raised in your February 24, 2005 memo. 1) It is our intent to construct the trail along lots 41, 42 and 58-62 long before building permit applications are filed on the subject lot. We are currently grading the area where the trail is located and once the storm drain, masonry pilasters and brow ditches are complete we will install the actual trail section. I anticipate the trail will be complete in 4 to 5 months. 2) As we discussed in our meeting, the tubular steel fencing is consistent with our current approvals. However, I understand your concem. I will send a letter to the builder who is purchasing Neighborhood 2.5 and pass on your concems. If the builder chooses to change the wall to solid masonry, I'll modify the plans for them and forward the revised plans for your files. 3) I've enclosed a plan sheet that details the trail section. Pursuant to our telephone conversation today, the access road for the storm drain headwall is the same material as the trail.

It is recommended that the circulation restrictions be evaluated early in the planning process for the future project to be located south of Corintia Street and appropriate consideratioDkbe given to the limitations caused by the median.
