PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project includes widening Palomar Airport Road (PAR) by adding one
additional through lane between Paseo Del Norte (PDN) and Armada Drive,
installing an overhead Caltrans Tmss Sign Structure, and constmcting a
deceleration lane for the flower field's parking lot. These improvements are
within the City's right of way. However, these improvements require relocating
two traffic signals at the Northeast comer of PAR and PDN, which are Caltrans
signals.
The project will require grading, relocating/replanting landscaping, and the
Installation of Filterra planter boxes to control water quality. The impervious
surface area will increase by approximately 0.58 acres.

TOPOGRAPHY AND LAND USE
There is a 2% crown from the center median to the concrete curb and gutter on
PAR between PDN and Aramada Drive. The gutter slopes range from 0.5% to
2.5%. For approximately 600 feet, there is a landscaped berm with Coast Live
Oak and White Alder trees, Bower Vine ivy, and Red Fescue for ground cover.
For approximately 900 feet, there is Natal Plum located at the back of sidewalk.
All of the landscaping is currently irrigated with potable water. The same
landscaping will be reinstalled at the back of sidewalk as part of the PAR
widening project. However, the landscaping will be irrigated with reclaimed
water.
The Armstrong Flower Fields are located north of the proposed improvements.
The Flower Fields are zone for open space.
HYDROLOGIC UNIT CONTRIBUTION
The project is located in the Hydrologic Unit shown in Table ^\ Table 1 also
shows the Hydrologic Area that the project site drains to. Per the Clean Water
Act (CWA) Section 303, the Agua Hedionda Lagoon has a low priority for Total
Maximum Daily Load (TDML) for bacteria indicators and sedimentation/siltation.
The Agua Hedionda Creek has a low priority for TDML for Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS). Table 2 shows the project contribution to the Carlsbad Watershed based
on project acreage.

Table 2: Project Contributions to Watershed
Based on the drainage study, the impacts to the hydrologic regime is that the
watershed will see approximately an additional 2.3 cfs of flow for a 2 year-6 hour
storm event and approximately an additional 3.1 cfs for a 10 year-6 hour storm
event, due to the increase in impervious surface area. See Table 3 for a
breakdown of the change in flows and receiving waters.

POLLUTANTS AND CONDITIONS OF CONCERN
Per the SUSMP, for road widening projects ("Streets, Highways, & Freeways")
the anticipated pollutants of concern are the following:
• Sediments
• Nutrients (since landscaping exists)
• Heavy Metals
• Organic Compounds, including petroleum hydrocarbons
• Trash & Debris
• Oil & Grease
And Oxygen Demanding Substances are considered a potential pollutant for road
widening projects.
Descriptions ofthe pollutants are shown In Table 4.
Sediments
Sediments are soils or other surficial materials eroded and then
transported or deposited by the action of wind, water, ice, or
gravity. Sediments can increase turbidity, clog flsh gills, reduce
spawning habitat, lower young aquatic organisms survival rates,
smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic
vegetation growth.
Nutrients
Nutrients are inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and
phosphorus. They commonly exist in the fomri 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.
Heavy
Metals
Metals are raw material components in non-metal products such
as fuels, adhesives, paints, and other coatings. Primary source of
metal pollution in stomn water are typically commercially available
metals and metal products. Metals of concem include cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc. Lead and chromium
have been used as corrosion inhibitors In primer coatings and

cooling tower systems. At low concentrations naturally occurring
in soil, metals are not toxic. However, at higher concentrations,
certain metals can be toxic to aquatic life. Humans can be
impacted from contaminated groundwater resources, and
bioaccumulation of metals in fish and shellfish. Environmental
concerns, regarding the potential for release of metals to the
environment, have already led to restricted metal usage in certain
applications.
Organic
Compounds
Organic compounds are carbon-based. Commercially available or
naturally occurring organic compounds are found in pesticides,
solvents, and hydrocarbons. Organic compounds can, at certain
concentrations, indirectly or directly constitute a hazard to life or
health. When rinsing off objects, toxic levels of solvents and
cleaning compounds can be discharged to storm drains. Dirt,
grease, and grime retained In the cleaning fiuid or rinse water may
also absorb levels of organic compounds that are harmful or
hazardous to aquatic life.
Trash &
Debris
Trash (such as paper, plastic, polystyrene packing foam, and
aluminum materials) and biodegradable organic matter (such as
leaves, grass cuttings, and food waste) are general waste
products on the landscape. The presence of trash & debris 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. Also, in areas where stagnant water exists, 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.
Oxygen-
Demanding
Substances
This category includes biodegradable organic material as well as
chemicals that react with dissolved oxygen in water to form other
compounds. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are examples of
biodegradable organic 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.
Oil and
Grease
Oil and grease are characterized as high-molecular weight organic
compounds. Primary sources of oil and grease are petroleum
hydrocarbon products, motor pnDducts from leaking vehicles,
esters, oils, fats, waxes, and high molecular-weight fatty acids.
Introduction of these pollutants to the water bodies are very
possible due to the wide uses and applications of some of these
products in municipal, residential, commercial, industrial, and
construction areas. Elevated oil and grease content can decrease
the aesthetic value of the water body, as well as the water quality.

W WATER QUALITY PRESERVATION MEASURES
SOURCE CONTROL e^fP - POST CONSTRUCTION:
The foiiowing decal will be installed at the three curb inlets for this project.
Figure 2: Storm drain inlet decal.
STRUCTURAL TREA TI\AENT BMP - POST CONSTRUCTION:
Filterra planter boxes (or approved equal) will be installed at three locations, two
along Palomar Airport Road, and one on Paseo Del Norte. See the Site Plan in
Appendix A for location and size. The expected average pollutant removal rates
are in the in Appendix C. As shown on the "Filterra Overview" sheet in Appendix
C, the average retained Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is 82%. This will control
the amount of sediments that leave the project site and enter the Agua Hedionda
Lagoon. The Filterra boxes were sized based on the fiow criteria stated under
the Numeric Sizing Treatment Standards of the City's SUSMP. The Flow based
approach requires that 0.2 inches/hour be treated for each hour of storm event.
As shown in the Appendix C, under "Table: 1 Filterra Quick Sizing Tables" the
Filterra planter boxes treat drainage areas based on the size of the planter box,
drainage area, and the runoff coefficient, assuming 0.2 inches/hour treatment
rate.
Although bacteria entering the Agua Hedionda Lagoon are of concern, bacteria
are not anticipated as one of the potential pollutants for the road widening
project, per Table 2 under Section III of the SUSMP.
CONSTRUCTION BMPS:
Since the project is considered a Priority Project, construction BMPs required
under Order No. 99-08-DWQ of the State General Permit for Storm Water
Discharges Associated with Constmction Activity, also known as the State
General Construction Permit. Specification Section 02372 shown in Appendix D

is included in this report to shown that the construction Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) wilt be prepared by the Contractor. Since construction
sites are confinually changing and the SWPPP must be kept current during the
course of construction, it is best to leave the preparation and maintenance ofthe
SWPPP thejesDonsMiiy of thsiiooJcaataL
This project will bo looo than 1 aoro, therefore a Water Pollution Control Plan
(WPCP) is jJ<required.
MAINTENANCE
The Filterra planter boxes needs to be maintained periodically. The maintenance
involved includes, removing the metal grates and removing debris that may have
collected, cleaning the underiying perforated pipe of sediments and roots that
may have entered the pipe, and replacing the media in the planter box. The City
will maintain the units or a maintenance agreement with Filterra will be exercised.
Filterra maintains the planter boxes for^^^l^O^annuQlly.

Reduce lifetime costs with safer and
less expensive maintenance
Remove Pollutants and Comply with NPDHS
Filterra"' is wcll-suitcd for the ultra-urban environment with high removal effieiencies for
many pollutants such as petroleum, heavy metals, phosphorus, nitrogen, 1'SS and bacteria.
FilteiTa" is similar in concept to bioretention in its function and applications, with the major
distinction that Filterra" has been optimized for high volume/flow treatment and high pollutant
removal. It takes up little space (often 0.2% Filter Surface Area./Drainage Area) and may be
used on highly developed sites such as landscaped areas, green space, parking lots and
streetscapes. Filterra** is exceedingly adaptable and is the urban solution for Low Impact
Development.
Stormwater flows through a specially designed filter media mixture contained in a landscaped
concrete container. The filter media captures and immobilizes pollutants; those pollutants are
then decomposed, volatilized and incorporated into the biomass of the Filterra" system's
micro/macro fauna and flora. Stormwater runoff flows through the media and into an
underdrain system at the bottom ofthe container, where the treated water is discharged. Higher
tlows bypass the Filterra" via a downstream inlet structure, curb cut or other appropriate relief

(Reference Hydrology Manual Section 3.3)
The following example details the application of the RM for a single-family residential
subdivision to calculate the peak flow entering an inlet in the storm drain system. In this
example, the 100-year storm event is used. In this example, the soil type (determined from
the soils maps in Appendix A ofthe Hydrology Manual) is uniform across all subareas and is
type D. Figure WB.2-1 shows the drainage map for this example.
Flow across the initial subarea
First, consider the initial subarea, nodes 0101 to 0102 in Figure WB.2-1.
C = 0.52 (read from Table 3-1 of the Hydrology Manual for single-family
residential, 4.3 dwelling units per acre [DU/A] or less, type D soil)
Aoioi-0102 = 0.4 acres
ECCA) = 0.21
L = 220 feet (estimated total flow length after development with house, driveway,
garage, etc.) Use 70 feet maximum per Table 3-2 of the Hydrology Manual.

Using Ti, fill in the worksheet provided in Figure 3-1 of the Hydrology Manual. Use the
isopluvial maps (Appendix B of the Hydrology Manual) to read the precipitation over a 6-
hour period (Pe) and precipitation over a 24-hour period (P24) for the site. With the adjusted
P6 value determined from the worksheet (Figure 3-1 of the Hydrology Manual), find the
intensity, Iioo- For this example, let ?6 = 2.8 inches, and P24 = 4.5 inches. Pe is within 45%
to 65% of P24; therefore, the adjusted Pe = 2.8 inches.
Pe = 2.8 inches
Iioo 5.2 in/hr
Q0102 = ^CA)I = 0.21 (5.2) = 1.1 cfs
Flow from point 0102 to 0103
The next step is to determine Tt for the length between point 0102 and 0103. The
watercourse is a gutter and to calculate Tt it is necessary to know the water velocity, V, in the
gutter. However, because the gutter is not a closed conduit, and flow from the subarea is
being added, determination of Ti is an iterative process. To find V, assume an average Q
over the watercourse (discharges for small watersheds typically range from
2 to 3 cfs per acre, depending on land use, drainage area, slope, and rainfall intensity). This
is accomplished using the following method:
• Estimate QAVG and slope, SAVG, to determine V. Estimate qavg as 2.5 cfs/acre.
Assume QAVG = Qo]02 + ((qavg)(Aoio2-oio3)/2)
QAVG = 1.1 cfs + ((2.5 cfs/acre)(1.8 acres)/2) = 3.4 cfs

Qoio3 [CAoioi-0102 + CA0102-0103] I'lOO

Check the earlier assumption that QAVG from node 0102 to node 0103 was
3.4 cfs.
QAVG = QO]02 + ((Q0103 - Qoio2)/2)
QAVG = 1.1 + ((5.3 - 1 .1)/2)= 3.2 cfs ^ 3.4 cfs
At this point, retry the calculation with a different estimate of qavg, say 2.3 cfs/acre for the
area from nodes 0102-0103.
Assume QAVG = Q0102 + (qavg)(Aoio2-o]03)
QAVG = 1.1 cfs + ((2.3 cfs/acre)(1.8 acres)/2) = 3.2 cfs
• From Figure 3-6 of the Hydrology Manual, input QAVG and slope, SAVG, to
determine V.
V = 2.4 fps
Then:
Tt = 285V2.4 = 119 seconds - 2.0 minutes

Check the earlier assumption that QAVG from point 0102 to point 0103 was
3.2 cfs.
QAVG = Q0102 + ((Q0103 - Qoi02)/2)
QAVG = 1.1 + ((5.3 - l.l)/2)= 3.2 cfs = 3.2 cfs; OK
Final results for node 0103:
Q0103 = 5.3 cfs

Including at a minimum, runoff volume, time of concentration, and retention volume.
These characteristics shall be developed for the two-year and 10-year frequer^cy,
Tvoe I storm of six-hour or 24-hour duration (whichever Is the closer approximation
of the site's time of concentration), during critical hydrologic conditions for soil and

concern based on the hydrologic and downstream conditions discussed above.
Where downstream conditions of concern have been identified, the drainage study
shall establish that pre-project hydrologic conditions that minimize impacts on those
downstream conditions of concern would be either improved or maintained by the
proposed project, satisfactory to the City Engineer, by incorporating the permanent
BMP requirements identified in Section 111.2. below.

applicable to individual priority project categories and structural t^^^ -iient control BMPs_
Applicants may employ alternative comparable and equally effective site design and
source control BMPs (Including requirements applicable to individual pnonty project
categories), satisfactory to the City Engineer.
Prelects are encouraged to address these objectives through the creation of a
hydrologlcally functional project design that attempts to mimic the natural hydrologic
regime. Mimicking a site's natural hydrologic regime may be pursued by:
- Reducing imperviousness. conserving natural resources and areas, maintaining
and using natural drainage courses in the storm water conveyance system, and
minimizing clearing and grading that Is necessary for the project.
. Providing runoff storage measures dispersed uniformly throughout a site's
landscape with the appropriate use of a variety of detention, retention, and runoff
practices.
. Implementing on-lot hydrologlcally functional landscape design and management
practices.

• A) High Priority
1) Projects where the site is 50 acres or more and grading will occur during the
rainy season
2) Projects 5 acres or more. 3) Projects 5 acres or more within or direct^
adjacent to or discharging directly to a coastal lagoon or other receiving water
within an environmentally sensitive area
