Thank you for submitting an Early Assessment to: 1) install 700 linear feet of 8-inch PVC pipe at Palmer
Way, starting at the intersection of Faraday Avenue, and continuing north to the intersection of Impala
Drive; and 2) install 1,500 linear feet of 6-inch PVC pipe at Impala Drive, starting at the intersection of
Palmer Way, and continuing east to the intersection of Orion Street within the public rights-of-way.
In response to your application, the Planning Division has prepared this comment Jetter. Please note
that the purpose of an Early Assessment is to provide you with direction and comments on the overall
concept of your project. This Early Assessment does not represent an in-depth analysis of your
project. It is intended to give you feedback on critical issues based upon the information provided in
your submittal. This review is based upon the plans, policies. and standards in effect as of the date of
this review. Please be aware that at the time of a formal application submittal, new plans. policies,
and standards may be in effect and additional issues of concern may be raised through a more specific
and detailed review.
Planning:
General
1. The project will not need any permits from Planning; however, the project must comply with C.M.C.
Chapter 8.48-Noise, which regulates permitted hours for construction.
2. On November 27, 2012, the Carlsbad Municipal Water District {CMWD) adopted Resolution No 1455
adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP) for the Phase Ill Recycled Water Project. This project is a sub-component (ES 18) of the
Phase Ill Recycled Water Project and is subject to the Mitigation Measures {MM) that are identified
in the MMRP. It was determined that the project could have direct contact with hazards and
hazardous materials. This project is required to incorporate the following MMs to ensure that the
potential impacts are reduced to a less than significant level. Please include the MMs as notes on
the plans and/or incorporate the MMs into the contract documents.
Mitigation Measures
Haz-1-Excavation Monitoring. During excavation activities CMWD shall provide monitoring by an
individual licensed in the State of California to assess soil conditions for the potential presence of
contaminated soils. In the event of encountering hydrocarbon contaminated soils, these soils shall be
properly tested, managed, and disposed of at a licensed facility in accordance with DEH requirements.

Haz-2 -Construction Worker Health and Safety Work Plan. Prior to construction CMWD shall have a
project-specific health and safety work plan prepared and distributed to the construction workers to
address the potential exposure to hazardous materials associated with working with or near
contaminated soil. This work plan shall comply with all County of San Diego DEH work plan
requirements including Community Health and Safety Planning to address physical hazards, site security,
management of soil and water, and monitoring equipment. A description of engineering controls and
measures that would be put in place to prevent and/or reduce the risks posed to site workers, public
and the environment in the unlikely event of excavating contaminated soil from the construction area
shall be provided in the work plan and submitted to the DEH for approval. The engineering controls and
measures to be implemented if potentially contaminated soil is uncovered shall include, but not be
limited to the following:
1) An exclusion zone and support zone shall be established prior to start and during excavation
activities. No unauthorized personnel shall be allowed in these zones. Personnel authorized to
work in these zones shall have the required training and qualifications including OSHA HAZWOPER
training.
2) Written notifications shall be posted on the perimeter fencing in advance of start of excavation to
notify the general public of the nature and duration of work activities. The postings shall also
include emergency contact names and telephone numbers.
3) No eating, drinking or smoking shall be allowed within the exclusion or support zones.
4) Site workers shall be required to wear personal protective equipment including gloves, dust masks
or respirators, hard hats, steel toed boots, Tyvek® protective clothing, eye shield and ear plugs or
ear muffs.
5) A decontamination zone shall be established for site workers to use prior to exiting the exclusion
zone.
6) All excavated soil shall be underlain and covered by plastic or VisqueenTM, if stored on site, to
prevent or reduce off-gassing into the atmosphere and to protect the stockpile from erosion due to
storm runoff. If on-site temporary storage becomes necessary, the stockpiles shall be placed
downwind downstream of any sensitive receptors in the area.
7) All work shall stop if ambient air concentrations exceed acceptable thresholds as approved by the
san Diego County DEH, and excavation shall be backfilled with inert soil or other material until
concentration drop back to normal.
8) Exposure to dust and potential inhalation hazards shall be controlled by lightly spraying the
excavated materials with clean water as they are stockpiled on site or as they are transferred to
trucks for shipment offsite. A dust monitor shall be used on site to measure airborne dust during
activities that are expected to generate dust. If dust levels exceed permissible exposure levels as set
by OSHA standards, additional measures for dust control such as the use of industrial non-toxic dust
suppressants shall be implemented.
9) · Runoff around the excavation site shall be controlled by placing fiber rolls or other similar types of
erosion and runoff control means to direct surface runoff and to protect the nearby downstream
storm drains.

10) Vehicular and pedestrian traffic shall be directed away from the construction zone prior to and
during excavation and follow-on activities in accordance with a traffic plan approved by the City of
Carlsbad, as applicable, and in coordination with CMWD.
