APPLICATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT OMB APPROVAL NO. 0702-0036
(33 CPR 325) Expires 30 June 2989
The Department of the Army permit program is authorized by Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899, Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act and Section 103 of the Marine, Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.. These laws require permits authorizing
activities in or affecting navigable waters of the United States, the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States,
and the transportation of dredged material for the purpose of dumping it into ocean waters. Information provided on this form will be
used in evaluating the application for a permit. Information in this application is made a matter of public record through issuance of a
public notice. Disclosure of the information requested is voluntary; however, the data requested are necessary in order to communicate
with the applicant and to evaluate the permit application. If necessary information is not provtded, the permit application cannot be
processed nor can a permit be issued.
One set of original drawings or good reproducible copies which show the location and character of the proposed activity must be

4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTIVITY
4t. ACTIVITY
Batiquitos Lagoon is a surface water impoundment that functions as a tidal estuary for part of the year and as a brackish water
lake for most.of the year. The lagoon mouth is blocked by a semipermeable cobble barrier that severely limits water flow in
and out of the lagoon. To support management of water level in Batiquitos Lagoon, 10 eight-inch diameter PVC pipes will be
installed beneath the berm at the mouth of the lagoon. Plans are in Section 3.0 of the attached environmental assessment. Plastic
(PVC) pipe will be used for ease of installation and removal. This will reduce the need for heavy equipment on the beach. Flap
gates will be installed on the ocean end of the pipes to prevent backflow during high tides: The upstream ends of the pipes will
be fitted with removable caps. Sandbag cutoff walls will be used to stabilize the pipes and to prevent erosion of thp cobbles in
the pipe bed.
4b. PUS urpose of this proposed lagoon water level management program is to provide an interim method for regulating lagoon water
levels based on a strategy that preserves and enhances sensitive biological resources while safeguarding public infrastructure.
The objective of the interim water level management project is to enhance water quality in the lagoon, to maintain water levels
that conserve sensitive biological resources and safeguard public infrastructure. Specifically, the project will assure that:
• The lagoon is open to the ocean and the effects of tidal flushing at least once Per year.
• Least tern and snowy plover nesting habitat is exposed and above water no later than 15 April of each year.
• Water levels in the Lagoon remain 12-24 inches below the level that floods La Costa Ave. infrastructure;
• Tidal mudflats and shallow water habitat shall be available to support the shore bird populations.
• Adequate intermediate and deep water habitat for the dabbling and plunge dive feeding birds in the lagoon.
4c. DISCHARGE OF DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL
The project requires no dredging or filling. Essentially the existing cobble berm will be temporarily reconfigured to allow
installation of the drain pipes. After the pipes are installed the berm will be returned to its original condition. Pipes installation
will require a two days period. After installation, no equipment other than the pipes will remain on the berm. Approximately
6-12" of the pipe will be exposed on the ocean side of the berm. The maximum discharge rate for the pipe system will be 2.14
Mft/day assuming five feet of head. At this rate it will require 9.2 days to lower the lagoon one foot. Calculations supporting
this estimate are provided in Section 3.2 of the attached EA.

TO: Paul Webb
The City of Carlsbad requests the withdrawal of permit application
No. 6-92-61 regarding the proposed manipulation of the berm
blocking the mouth of Batiquitos Lagoon. It is my understanding
that if the interested parties (Hillman Properties, Inc., and the
Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation) still wish to pursue the project they
will conduct the necessary biological and environmental studies
that would support the proposal. As I noted before, the City
would only pursue the project if the wildlife agencies support this
short term water level management plan. The City as well as the
other MOA agencies strongly believe tha the only viable long term
restoration and enhancement plan for the lagoon is Mitigated
Alternative "B" which now has the support of the Coastal Commission
,the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection
Agency.
If you have any questions regarding this request or the City's
postion on the managed water level proposal, please contact me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
CITY OF CARLSBAD
