La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.08
Storm Water Management Plan
CHAPTER 1 -EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 -Introduction
Phase 1 of the La Costa Greens project site is located north of Alga Road, south of
the proposed extension of Poinsettia Lane, and east of the La Costa Golf Course.
Neighborhood 1.08 is located in the north of the development, bisected by Alicante
Road, east of the golf course, north of Neighborhood 1.09 and south of Poinsettia
Road. Neighborhood 1.08 is one of seven subdivisions within the La Costa Greens
Phase I development. An exhibit showing the location of each treatment unit and
the breakdown of the areas tributary to each treatment unit is included on the
following page.
All runoff from Neighborhood 1.08 will drain to a proposed storm drain outlet located
adjacent to Alicante Road on the east side just no-rth of Neighborhood 1.08. In
addition to the flow contributed by Neighborhood 1.08, a portion of Alicante Road
and developed offsite areas to the east (totaling 14 acres) will also drain to the
Alicante Road outlet. Runoff ultimately drains to an unnamed tributary of San
Marcos Creek. Flow from this tributary eventually discharges into San Marcos
Creek towards the Batiquitos Lagoon.
Per the City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Greens Neighborhoods 1.08 project
is classified as a Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water
BMP Requirements.

La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.08
Storm Water Management Plan
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared pursuant to
requirements set forth in the City of Carlsbad's "Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan (SUSMP)." All calculations are consistent with criteria set forth by
the Regional Water Quality Control Board's Order No. 2001-01, and the City of
Carlsbad SUSMP.
This SWMP recommends the location and sizing of site Best Management Practices
(BMPs) which include a single Vortechs treatment unit (see BMP Location Map in
this chapter).
Furthermore, this report determines anticipated project pollutants, pollutants of
concern in the receiving watershed, peak flow mitigation, recommended source
control BMPs, and methodology used for the design of flow-based and volume-
based BMPs.
1.2 -Summary of Pre-Developed Conditions -
Phase 1 of the La Costa Greens project site is located north of Alga Road, south of
the proposed extension of Poinsettia Lane, and east of the La Costa Golf Course.
Neighborhood 1.08 is located in the north of the development, bisected by Alicante
Road, east of the golf course, north of Neighborhood 1.09 and south of Poinsettia
Road.
Runoff from the site in natural conditions drains to the San Marcos Creek. The
Regional Water Quality Control Board has identified San Marcos Creek as part of
the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, San Marcos Hydrologic Area, and the Batiquitos
Hydrologic Subarea (basin number 4.51).
1.3 -Summary of Proposed Development
The La Costa greens Neighborhood 1.08 project will include construction of five (5)
proposed roads, grading of the proposed site to make it suitable for construction of
single-family residential dwellings, construction of underground utilities typically
associated with residential developments, and the construction of 82 residences.
The proposed project site consists of 82 residential lots and 6 open space lots, for a
total area of 36.43 acres (22.44 acres and 13.99 acres respectively). Approximately
38% of the Neighborhood 1.08 proposed project site will remain undeveloped.
The offsite developed areas, which will drain through Neighborhood 1.08 have been
quantified in two hydrology studies; "Hydrology & Hydraulic Study -La Costa
Greens Phase 1", prepared by O'Day ConSUltants May 25,2002, and "Tentative
Map Drainage Study for La Costa Greens -Phase1 Neighborhoods 1.08 through
1.14," prepared by Hunsaker & Associates San Diego, Inc. April 17, 2003. The
O'Day report identified a total of 14 acres of offsite developed area that contribute
flow to the La Costa development in the vicinity of the Neighborhood 1.08. The
Hunsaker & Associates report identified one run on location at the northeast corner

of Neighborhood 1.08 consisting of 14 acres of area. The Quadrangle Map
Watershed Exhibit for La Costa Greens illustrates the approximate extent of offsite
areas draining to the La Costa Greens Phase I proposed development and has been
included in the Attachment section of this report.
Development of the site will not cause any diversion to or from the existing
watershed to the storm drain system. . The proposed treatment unit will located
offline from the main storm drain system and is proposed in the vicinity of Alicante
Road north of Street "K" (see Ultimate Condition Site Map included in the pocket of
the this report).
85th percentile runoff will be treated in a storm water BMP prior to discharge to the
existing storm drain and detention basin. Flows in excess of the treatment flow will
bypass the treatment unit.
A runoff coefficient of 0.63 was assumed for the proposed single-family residential
development, based on City of Carlsbad criteria.
1.4 -Results and Recommendations
Using the 85th percentile rainfall of 0.67 inches (see Isopluvial Map in chapter 7) and
assuming approximately 25 percent imperviousness in the contributing watershed
Table 1 below summarizes rational method 85th percentile calculations for the
proposed water quality treatment unit for the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.08
development.

(acres) (inches) (inches/hour) (%)
West Storm 61.4 0.67 0.2 0.63 50 Drain Unit
*Note: Includes area from Bressl developments
Rational Method calculations predicted an 85th percentile runoff flow of roughly
7.7cfs for the area discharging to the storm drain. 85th percentile flows will be
treated in the proposed Vortechs unit prior to discharging to the Alicante Road storm
drain.
The proposed Vortechs unit is an offline precast treatment unit. The 85th percentile
design flow rate is forced into the treatment area by a diversion weir built in the
upstream junction. Flows in excess of the design flow rate pass over the weir and
proceed downstream.

Storm Water Management Plan
A single Vortech Model 9000 unit (or approved equivalent unit) with a treatment
flow capacity of 7.7 cfs is recommended for the unit located upstream of the
receiving storm drain.
1.5 -Conclusion
The combination of proposed construction and permanent BMP's will reduce, to the
maximum extent practicable, the expected project pollutants and will not adversely
impact the beneficial uses of the receiving waters.

CHAPTER 2 -STORM WATER CRITERIA
2.1 -Regional Water Quality Control Board Criteria
All runoff conveyed in the proposed storm drain systems will be treated in
compliance with Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations and NPDES
criteria prior to discharging to natural watercourses. California Regional Water
Quality Control Board Order No. 2001-01, dated February 21,2001, sets waste
discharge requirements for discharges of urban runoff from municipal storm
separate drainage systems draining the watersheds of San Diego County.
Per the RWQCB Order, post-development runoff from a site shall not contain
pollutant loads which cause or contribute to an exceedance of receivihg water
quality objectives or which have not been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Post-construction Best Management_Practices (BMPs), which refer to
specific storm water management techniques that are applied to manage
construction and post-construction site runoff and minimize erosion, include source
control -aimed at reducing the amount of sediment and other pollutants -and
treatment controls that keep soil and other pollutants onsite once they have been
loosened by storm water erosion.
Post construction pollutants are a result of the urban development of the property
and the effects of automobile use. Runoff from paved surfaces can contain both
sediment (in the form of silt and sand) as well as a variety of pollutants transported
by the sediment. Landscape activities by homeowners are an additional source of
sediment.
All structural BMPs shall be located to infiltrate, filter, or treat the required runoff
volume or flow (based on the 85th percentile rainfall) prior to its discharge to any
receiving watercourse supporting beneficial uses.
2.2 -City of Carlsbad SUSMP Criteria
Per the City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.08 project is
classified as a Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water BMP
Requirements. These requirements required the preparation of this Storm Water
Management Plan.
The Storm Water Applicability Checklist, which must be included along with Grading
Plan applications, is included on the following page.

3.2 -Sediment
Soils or other surface materials eroded and then transported or deposited by the
action of wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediments can increase turbidity, clog fish gills,
reduce spawning habitat, smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic
vegetative growth.
3.3 -Nutrients
Inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorous, that commonly exist in the
form of mineral salts that are either dissolved or suspended in water. Primary
sources of nutrients in urban runoff are fertilizers and eroded soils. Excessive
discharge of nutrients to water bodies and streams can cause excessive aquatic
algae and plant growth. Such excessive production, referred to as cultural
eutrophication, may lead to excessive decay of organic matter in the water body,
loss of oxygen in the water, release of toxins in sediment, and the eventual death of
aquatic organisms.
3.4 -Trash & Debris
Examples include paper, plastic, leaves, grass cuttings, and food waste, which may
have a significant impact on the recreational value of a water body and aquatic
habitat. Excess organic matter can create a high biochemical oxygen demand in a
stream and thereby lower its water quality. In areas where stagnant water is
present, the presence of excess organic matter can promote septic conditions
resulting in the growth of undesirable organisms and the release of odorous and
hazardous compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.
3.5 -Oxygen-Demanding Substances
Biodegradable organic material as well as chemicals that react with dissolved
oxygen in water to form other compounds. Compounds such as ammonia and
hydrogen sulfide are examples of oxygen-demanding compounds. The oxygen
demand of a SUbstance can lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen in a water body
and possibly the development of septic conditions.
3.6 -Oil & Grease
Characterized as high high-molecular weight organic compounds. Primary sources
of oil and grease are petroleum hydrocarbon products, motor products from leaking
vehicles, oils, waxes, and high-molecular weight fatty acids. Elevated oil and grease
content can decrease the aesthetic value of the water body, as well as the water
quality.

3.7 -Bacteria & Viruses
Bacteria and viruses are ubiquitous microorganisms that thrive under certain
environmental conditions. Their proliferation is typically caused by the transport of
animal or human fecal wastes from the watershed. Water, containing excessive
bacteria and viruses can alter the aquatic habitat and create a harmful environment
for humans and aquatic life. Also, the decomposition of excess organic waste
causes increased growth of undesirable organisms in the water.
3.8 -Pesticides
Pesticides (including herbicides) are chemical compounds commonly used to control
nuisance growth or prevalence of organisms. Excessive application of a pesticide
may result in runoff containing toxic levels of its active component.

CHAPTER 4 -CONDITIONS OF CONCERN
4.1 -Receiving Watershed Descriptions
As shown in the watershed map on the following page, the pre-developed La Costa
Greens Neighborhoods 1.08 site drains to an unnamed tributary of San Marcos
Creek which eventually discharges to the Batiquitos Lagoon within the San Marcos
Creek watershed.
Development of the site will not cause any diversion to or from the existing
watershed to the storm drain system.
The Regional Water Quality Control Board has identified San Marcos Creek as part
of the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, San Marcos Creek Watershed, and the Batiquitos
Hydrologic Subarea (basin number 4.51).
4.2 -Pollutants of Concern in Receiving Watersheds
San Marcos Creek is not listed on the EPA's 303(d) List of endangered waterways
(included in this Chapter). Per the "Water Quality Plan for the San Diego Basin", the
beneficial uses for the Batiquitos Lagoon and San Marcos Creek includes
agricultural supply, contact water recreation, non-contact recreation, warm
freshwater habitat, and wildlife habitat.
Table 3-2 from the "Water Quality Plan for the San Diego Basin" (included at the end
of this Chapter) lists water quality objectives for a variety of potential pollutants
required to sustain the beneficial uses of the San Marcos hydrologic area.

Storm Water Management Plan
Chapter 5 -FLOW-BASED BMPs
5.1 -Design Criteria
Flow-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate the maximum flowrate of runoff
produced from a rainfall intensity of 0.2 inch per hour. Such basins utilize either
mechanical devices (such as vaults that produce vortex effects) or non-mechanical
devices (based on weir hydraulics and specially designed filters) to promote settling
and removal of pollutants from the runoff.
Per the request of the City of Carlsbad, 85th percentile flow calculations were
performed using the Rational Method. The basic Rational Method runoff procedure
is as follows:
Design flow (Q) = C * I * A
Runoff Coefficient (C) -In accordance with the City of Carlsbad standards, the
weighted runoff coefficient for all the areas draining to the treatment unit was
determined using the areas analyzed in the final engineering hydrology report. The
runoff coefficient is based on the following characteristics of the watershed:
Land Use -Single Family Residential in Developed Areas
Soil Type -Hydrologic soil group D was assumed for all areas. Group D
soils have very slow infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted. Consisting
chiefly of clay soils with a high swelling potential, soils with a high
permanent water table, soils with clay pan or clay layer at or near the
surface, and shallow soils over nearly impervious materials, Group D soils
have a very slow rate of water transmission.
Rainfall Intensity (I) -Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations and NPDES
criteria have established that flow-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate a
rainfall intensity of 0.2 inch per hour.
Watershed Area (A) -Corresponds to total area draining to treatment unit.
5.2 -Vortechs Treatment Units
The Vortechs Storm Water Treatment System is designed to efficiently remove grit,
contaminated sediments, metals, hydrocarbons and floating contaminants from
surface runoff. Combining swirl-concentrator and flow-control technologies to
eliminate turbulence within the system, the Vortechs System ensures the effective
capture of sediment and oils and prevents resuspension of trapped pollutants for
flows up to 25 cfs.

Storm Water Management Plan
Other features of the Vortechs Systems include the following:
Large capacity system provides an 80 percent net annual Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) removal rate
Unit is installed below grade
Low pump-out volume and one-point access reduce maintenance costs
Design prevents oils and other floatables from escaping the system during
cleanout
Enhanced removal efficiencies of nutrients and heavy metals with offline
configuration
The tangential inlet to the system creates a swirling motion that directs settleable
solids into a pile towards the center of the grit chamber. Sediment is caught in the
swirling flow path and settles back onto the pile atter the storm event is over.
Floatable entrapment is achieved by sizing the low flow control to create a rise in the
water level of the vault that is sufficient to just submerge the inlet pipe with the 85th
percentile flow.

5.4 -Maintenance Requirements
Flow-based storm water treatment devices should be inspected periodically to
assure their condition to treat anticipated runoff. Maintenance of the proposed
Vortechnics units includes inspection and maintenance 1 to 4 times per year.
Maintenance of the Vortechs units involves the use of a "vactor truck", which clears
the grit chamber of the treatment unit by vacuuming all the grit, oil and grease, and
water from the sump. Typically a 3-man crew is required to perform the
maintenance of the treatment unit. Properly maintained Vortechs Systems will only
require evacuation of the grit chamber portion of the system. In some cases, it may
be necessary to pump out all chambers. In the event of cleaning other chambers, it
is imperative that the grit chamber be drained first.
Proper inspection includes a visual observation to ascertain whether the unit is
functioning properly and measuring the amount of deposition in the unit. Floatables
should be removed and sumps cleaned when the sump storage exceeds 85 percent
of capacity specifically, or when the sediment depth has accumulated within 6 inches
of the dry-weather water level. The rate at which the system collects pollutants will
depend more heavily on site activities than the size of the unit.
5.5 -Schedule of Maintenance Activities
Target Maintenance Date -March 15th
Maintenance Activity -Annual inspection and cleanout. Clear grit chamber of each
unit with vactor truck. Perform visual inspection. Remove floatables.
5.6 -Annual Operations & Maintenance Costs
The following costs are intended only to provide a magnitude of the costs involved in
maintaining BMPs. Funding shall be provided by the Master Home Owners
Association for La Costa Greens, of which neighborhood 1.08 is a member of.
Approximate annual maintenance costs for each ofthe·proposed Vortechs units are
outlined below. Costs assume a 3 man crew:
Maintenance for Model 9000:
Periodic Inspection, Maintenance and Monitoring = $800
Annual Cleanout Cost = $2,000
Subtotal = $2,800
Contingency = $280
Total = $3,080

CHAPTER 6 -SOURCE CONTROL BMPS
6.1 -Landscaping
Manufactured slopes shall be landscaped with suitable ground cover or installed with
an erosion control system. Homeowners should be educated as to the proper
routine maintenance to landscaped areas including trimming, pruning, weeding,
mowing, replacement or substitution of vegetation in ornamental and required
landscapes.
Per the RWQCB Order, the following landscaping activities are deemed unlawful
and are thus prohibited:
Discharges of sediment
Discharges of pet waste
Discharges of vegetative clippings
Discharges of other landscaping or construction-related wastes.
6.2 -Urban Housekeeping
Fertilizer applied by homeowners, in addition to organic matter such as leaves and
lawn clippings, all result in nutrients in storm water runoff. Consumer use of
excessive herbicide or pesticide contributes toxic chemicals to runoff. Homeowners
should be educated as to the proper application of fertilizers and herbicides to lawns
and gardens.
The average household contains a wide variety of toxins such as oil/grease,
antifreeze, paint, household cleaners and solvents. Homeowners should be
educated as to the proper use, storage, and disposal of these potential storm water
runoff contaminants.
Per the RWQCB Order, the following housekeeping activities are deemed unlawful
and are thus prohibited:
Discharges of wash water from the cleaning or hosing of impervious
surfaces including parking lots, streets, sidewalks, driveways, patios,
plazas, and outdoor eating and drinking areas (landscape irr.igation and
lawn watering, as well as non-commercial washing of vehicles in
residential zones, is exempt from this restriction)
Discharges of pool or fountain water containing chloride, biocides, or other
chemicals
Discharges or runoff from material storage areas containing chemicals,
fuels, grease, oil, or other hazardous materials
Discharges of food-related wastes (grease, food processing, trash bin
wash water, etc.).

6.3 -Automobile Use
Urban pollutants resulting from automobile use include oil, grease, antifreeze,
hydraulic fluids, copper from brakes, and various fuels. Homeowners should be
educated as to the proper use, storage, and disposal of these potential storm water
contaminants.
Per the RWQCB Order, the following automobile use activities are deemed unlawful
and are thus prohibited:
Discharges of wash water from the hosing or cleaning of gas stations,
auto repair garages, or other types of automotive service facilities.
Discharges resulting from the cleaning, repair, or maintenance of any type
of equipment, machinery, or facility including motor vehicles, cement-
related equipment, port-a-potty servicing, etc.
Discharges of wash water from mobile operations such as mobile
automobile washing, steam cleaning, power washing, and carpet
cleaning.
The Homeowners Association should make all homeowners aware of the
aforementioned RWQCB regulations through a homeowners' education program. A
monitoring program should also be implemented to insure compliance.
6.4 -Site Design BMPs
Priority projects, such as the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.08 development,
shall be designed to minimize, to the maximum extent practicable the introduction of
pollutants and conditions of concern that may result in significant impact, generated
from site runoff to the storm water conveyance system. Site design components can
significantly reduce the impact of a project on the environment. The following design
techniques have been proposed to accomplish this goal.
Implementing on-lot hydrologically functional landscape design and
management practices; Additional detail regarding landscaping design is
discussed in section 6.1.
Minimizing project's impervious footprint. Methods of accomplishing this goal
include constructing streets, sidewalks, and parking lots to the minimum
widths necessary without compromising public safety. Another method for
minimizing impervious area includes incorporating landscaped areas in the
drainage system to encourage infiltration and reduce the amount of directly
connected impervious areas.
-Minimizing directly connected Impervious Areas. Where landscaping is
proposed, drain rooftops into adjacent landscaping prior to discharging to the
storm water conveyance system.

CHAPTER 7 -SITE BMP DESIGN
VORTECHS TREATMENT UNITS
7.1 -BMP Locations
The site design includes a single Vortechs treatment unit (shown on BMP Location
Map located on the following page). The proposed treatment unit will located offline
from the main storm drain system and is proposed in the vicinity of Alicante Road
north of Street "K".
7.2 -Determination of Design Treatment Flows
The 85th percentile design flow rate has been calculated using the Rational Method.
Required data for the Rational Method treatment flow determination include the
following: _
-Runoff Coefficient (C) = 0.63
-Rainfall Intensity (I) = 0.20 inches per hour
-Drainage area to treatment unit (A) = 61.4 Ac.
Runoff coefficients were derived based upon a weighted average of each area
tributary to the treatment unit and the associated runoff coefficient.
The following table summarizes the parameters used for determination of design
flows to each of the Vortechs treatment units.

7.3 -Vortechs Treatment Unit Selection
The proposed Vortechs unit is an offline precast treatment unit. The 85th percentile
design flow rate is forced into the treatment area by a diversion weir built in the
upstream junction. Flows in excess of the design flow rate pass over the weir and
proceed downstream.
The following table shows the treatment capacities of the proposed Vortechs unit.

The Vortechs Model 9000, with a peak treatment flow design capacity of 14.0 cfs,
was selected because of the results of the Low Flow Diversion spreadsheet,
included in the Attachments section of this report, show that during the 100-yr storm
the diversion weir would divert 13.5 cfs through the treatment unit. Therefore the
unit has been sized to handle the flow of 13.5 cfs.

1) Initial Wet Weather Phase 2) Transition Phase
During a two-month storm event the water level begins to
. rise above the top of the inlet pipe. This influent control
feature reduce;s turbulence and avoids resuspension
of pollutants.
As the inflow rate increases above the controlled outflow
rate, the tank fills and the floating contaminant layer accu-
mulated from past storms rises. Swirling action increases
at this stage, 'while sediment pile remains stable.

Vortechs System Inlet/Outlet Configurations
Vortechs Systems can be configured to accommo-
date various inlet and outlet pipe orientations.
The inlet pipe can enter the end or side of the
tank at right angles -outlet pipes can exit the end
or the side of system at most angles.
