j^mtic parcel numbers if possible. Identify the project location. Include sponiic parcel numbers if possible.
The Santa Fe II tank is located in the City of San Marcos. Access to the site is obtained by proceeding south along White
Sands Drive from San Marcos Boulevard to Coast Avenue. To reach the tank site from Coast Avenue vehicles proceed
north along an unpaved road.
Identify the project schedule. List critical and desired milestones including dates in the development review and
construction process (e.g., public hearing dates, grant application submittal deadlines, public workshops, construction
phasing, etc.).
Final Design complete June. 2012, Construction October 2012 - January 2013.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL - Describe the project in as much detail as possible. Use as much space as needed.
Attach additional sheets (drawings, etc.) if necessary. Be sure to identify, if applicable, estimated quantities of grading
(including import/export), construction staging areas on and offsite, areas of sensitive vegetation, unique construction
technologies, proposed facility technologies and byproducts, and any public art component. If preliminary or conceptual
plans or exhibits are available, please include two sets with this transmittal.
The Santa Fe II Tank is a circular pre-stressed concrete tank constructed by CMWD in 1986. The tank is 220' diameter,
32' tall and has a storage capacity of 9.0 million gallons. The east side of the tank is buried to the roof line. On the
northwest face, the tank is placed behind two levels of concrete crib wall with the upper 15-feet of the tank wall exposed.
The existing drainage system has failed and has allowed water to flow over the face of the existing crib walls, which now
has extensive erosion. This project will remove the upper crib wall, repair the lower crib wall, and reconstruct the
drainage system around the tank.
In addition the security fence needs to be replaced, proposed using miniature mesh "Secure Guard" for replacement to
prevent climbing and reduce potential for cutting the fence material. These smaller openings minimize the possibility of
climbing, prevent objects from being passed through, and make it more difficult to manually cut.
See attached drawings.

INSTRUCTIONS:
To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the City requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMP's) into the project design per the City's Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP). To
view the SUSMP, refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 4, Chapter 2) at www.carlsbadca.qov/standards.
Initially this questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application
(subdivision, discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results ofthe questionnaire determine the level of
storm water standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the
outcome, your project will either be subject to 'Standard Stormwater Requirements' or be subject to additional criteria
called 'Priority Development Project Requirements'. Many aspects of project site design are dependent upon the
storm water standards applied to a project.
Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts.
City staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff
determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than
initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please
make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the City.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A separate completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted for each new development application submission.
Only one completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project
are submitted concurrently. In addition to this questionnaire, you must also complete, sign and submit a Project Threat
Assessment Form with construction permits for the project.
Please start by completing Section 1 and follow the instructions. When completed, sign the form at the end and submit
this with your application to the city.

Re: EA 12-04 - SANTA FE It RESERVOIR IMPROVEMENTS
Thank you for submitting an Early Assessment for repairs to the existing drainage system which caused
erosion around the tank and to the existing crib wall on the north and northwest sides of the Santa Fe II
water tank located on Island Drive within the City of San Marcos.
The repairs to the 220-foot diameter, 32-foot high water storage tank include: 1) removing the upper
crib wall; 2) removing 2,000 cubic yards (CY) of soil and filling 500 CY of soil; 3) repairing the lower crib
wall; 4) reconstructing the drainage system around the tank, including repaving the area; and 5) hydro-
seeding disturbed areas. In addition to the repair work the existing perimeter chain link security fence
and gates are proposed to be replaced with fencing and gates that are constructed with miniature mesh
"Secure Guard" material. The mesh material has smaller openings which minimize the possibility of
climbing, prevents objects from being passed through the openings and makes it more difficult to
manually cut.

RE: RESULTS OF BIOLOGICAL FIELD SURVEY
SANTA FE WATER TANK II
Dear Mr. Ahles:
At your request, Planning Systems' biologists have conducted a field survey of the property
around the existing Santa Fe Water Tank II, located on a hilltop approximately 400-feet north of
Coast Avenue, within the city boundary of the City of San Marcos, Califomia, in an area adjacent
to the city of Carlsbad. A Vicinity Map is shown on the attached exhibit. This property, including
the water tank reservoir is owned by the City of Carlsbad. The area surveyed surrounds the water
tank varying in width from only 10-feet in width from the water tank at its narrowest point on the
southeast, to its widest point on the northwest side at approximately 40-feet in width. Much of
the water tank is sunken below the surface of the immediately-surrounding soil. Only about 20-
vertical feet of the top portion of the tank is visible from the surface. The purpose of this report is
to observe the vegetation growing within the study area (shown on attached exhibit) and to
determine whether sensitive vegetation habitats or sensitive plants occur within this area.
Background
Study Area. The subject study area is relatively flat on the south and east sides, and slopes
mildly to steeply along the north and west sides. In these locations, two crib-type retaining walls
serve to hold soil against the lower sections of the water tank, presumably to minimize the
visibility of the tank from these steeper sides. Portions of these crib walls appear to be in a state
of disrepair and contain visibly unstable soil. The proposed project involves the removal, repair
and/or replacement of these crib walls, and other localized improvements.
Vicinity. The project vicinity is dominated by urban residential development, with adjacent
overhead electrical transmission towers and lines along the south and west side of the water tank
site. The site is a portion of an island of open space surrounded by single family homes. Small
patches of native vegetation, including coastal sage scrub and disturbed chaparral and chamise
habitats are present in the steeply sloping areas to the north of the site. The study area is located
within the hydrologic unit of the Encina Creek Watershed, approximately four (4) miles upstream
from the Pacific Ocean. Regionally, the Encina Creek and its tributaries drain about 9 square
miles from the foothills of San Marcos, into and through the central portion of Carlsbad, where it
ultimately discharges into the Pacific Ocean at Carlsbad State Beach.

Survev Methods. The biological investigation perfonned for this project included a general
biological survey of the study area for plants only. Fieldwork was conducted on May 24, 2012
using a 2010 aerial photograph of the area. The entire project area was fraversed on foot. Off-
site areas were also visually inspected from the property. Identified vegetation resources were
surveyed visually and documented. The vegetation types were classified according to the
Holland (1986) and Oberbauer (2005) classification systems, in accordance with the requirements
of the Guidelines for Biological Studies categories. City of Carlsbad Planning Department,
9/30/08. A list of detectable flora species was recorded in a field notebook. Plant identifications
were determined through direct observation.
Vegetation Communities
The subject property presently contains two primary vegetation communities; Disturbed Lands
and Annual (non-native) Grasslands.
Disturbed Lands. Vegetation communities within the study area are Disturbed Lands on the
north and west, and Annual (non-native) Grasslands on the south and east. Plant species observed
within the Disturbed Lands are Bull thistle {Cirsium vulgare). Castor bean (Ricinus communis).
Black mustard (Brassica nigra), Ausfralian Saltbush (Atriplex semibaccata R.), White-stem
Filaree (Erodium moschatum), Tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca). Yellow Wood-sorrel (Oxalis
corniculata), Califomia juniper (Juniperus californica). Telegraph weed (Heterotlieca
grandiflora). Common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris L.) and Dwarf nettle (Urtica dioica). Also
identified in the Disturbed Lands were a number of domestic urban plantings, including
Eucalyptus gum (Eucalyptus species). Avocado (Persea americana). Boxwood (Buxt4X
sempirvirens), Brazilian pepper tree (Scfiinus terebintiiifolius) and Wattle (Acacia species). The
only native plants identified within the subject area were a number [approximately 15]
individuals of Coyote Brush (Bacciiaris salicifolia) and several [six observed] individuals of
Coastal Deerweed (Lotus scoparius). These isolated individual native plants were not considered
to constitute a native or sensitive community.
Annual (non-native) Grasslands. Annual (non-native) Grasslands identified within the study
area included; Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), Ripgut grass (Bromus diandrus), Tumbleweed
(Amarantiius albus L.), Australian brass-buttons (Dienandra fasciculata). Short-pod mustard
(Lepidium nitidum), Cheeseweed (Malva parviflora), and Slender wild oat (Avena barbata).
None of these plants are considered native or sensitive.
Conclusions
This field Biological Survey concludes that; (a) no native habitats occur within the study area,
and (b) no sensitive plants occur within the study area. Further, this survey concludes that no
wetlands or riparian habitat or area otherwise jurisdictional delineation to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Califomia Department of Fish and Game, and Califomia Coastal Commission occurs
within or near the study area.
