Impaired Water Bodies
Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA, 33 USC 1250, et seq., at 1313(d)),
requires States to identify and list waters that do not meet water quality standards after applying
certain requked technology-based effluent limits (impaked water bodies). The hst is known as
the Section 303(d) list of impaked waters.
The proposed project is not dkectiy tributary to a 303(d) listed water body. The closest impaked
water body is the Pacific Ocean Shorehne, San Marcos HA. The Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San
Marcos HA is 303(d) listed for bacteria.
In addition to the Section 303(d) list of impaired waters, the State of California also identifies
waters of concern that may be included on the 303(d) list in the very near future. These waters
have some indications that they are impaired, but there is currently insufficient data to meet the
requkements for inclusion on the 303(d) list of impaked waters. This list is known as the
Monitoring List (2002).
The proposed project is not dkectiy tributary to a Monitoring List (2002) water body. The
closest Monitoring List (2002) water body is the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon. The Aqua Hedionda
Lagoon is Hsted for dissolved copper and selenium.
Watershed Pollutants of Concem
The proposed project is located within the Carlsbad Watershed. According to the Carlsbad
Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program, the pollutants of concem for the Carlsbad
Watershed are bacteria, diazinon, sediment, total dissolved soilds, and nutrients.
Conditions of Concern
A drainage study was conducted by a California Registered Civil Engineer (RCE) to identify the
conditions of concern for this project. The drainage calculations are available in Appendix 3.
Following is the summary of fmdings from the study:
• Drainage Pattems:
wqtr-pa6.doc
-5 -
Under existing conditions, runoff from the project area sheet flows to the southwest
comer of the project and into a desilting basin before entering the backbone storm drain
system for the Bressi Ranch development. The backbone storm drain system discharges
into a detention basin before entering an unnamed creek which eventually reaches San
Marcos Creek.
Under proposed conditions, the storm water sheet flows to the west and into the onsite
storm drain system. The onsite storm drain system connects into the backbone storm
drain for the Bressi Ranch development.
Soil Conditions and Imperviousness: The project area consists of soil group D. Under
existing conditions, the project area is under 5% impervious and the runoff coefficient is
0.45. Under the proposed conditions, the project area will be 63% impervious and the
overall runoff coefficient is expected to be 0.55.
Rainfall Runoff Characteristics: Under existing conditions, the project area generates
approximately 7.1 CFS (2-year storm) and 10.8 CFS (10-year storm) of storm water
runoff Under the proposed conditions, the site will generate approximately 12.8 CFS (2-
year storm) and 17.1 CFS (10-year storm) of storm water runoff
Downstream Conditions: There is no expected adverse impact on downstream conditions
as existing drainage pattems will be maintained. A detention basin at the south end of the
Alicante Street storm drain will reduce the impact of the increase in storm water flows
due to the development. The water quality will be improved by the development through
the implementation of site design, source control, and treatment BMPs. The existing
pipe's outfall is designed to protect against high velocity erosion in the proposed
condition.

4. STORM WATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The City Storm Water Standards Manual (Section III.2) requkes the implementation of
apphcable site design, source control, project-specific, and structural treatment control BMPs.
Site Design BMPs
The following BMPs were considered in the project design process:
• Reduce impervious surfaces,
• Conserve natural areas,
• Minimize dkectiy connected areas, and
• Protect slopes and channels.
Some of the specific site design BMPs incorporated into this project include:
• Protect slopes and channels
o All slopes will be stabilized with hydroseed or equivalent erosion control
measures.
o The outfalls are equipped with a D-41 energy dissipater and/or a riprap pad to
prevent high velocity erosion.
Source Control BMPs
The following BMPs were considered in the project design process:
• Inlet stenciling and signage,
• Materials storage,
• Trash storage,
• Efficient irrigation, and
wqtr-pa6.doc
• Integrated pest management principles.
Some of the specific source control BMPs incorporated into this project include:
• Inlet StenciUng and signage
0 All inlets within the project boundaries will be stenciled or stamped with "No
Dumping -1 Live Downstream," or as approved by the City Engineer.
• Covered trash storage
o All trash storage is covered due to the design of the standard-issue residential City
of San Diego automated refuse containers.
• Efficient irrigation
o All Home Owners' Association (HOA) maintained landscaped areas will include
rain shutoff devices to prevent irrigation during and after precipitation, and the
irrigation will be designed for the area specific water requkements. Flow reducers
and shutoff valves triggered by pressure drop will be used to control water loss
from broken sprinkler heads or hnes.
• Storm water education
o Educational materials on storm water issues and simple ways to prevent storm
water pollution will be made available to residents.
• Integrated pest management principles
o Residents and groundskeepers will be educated on pest management principles.
o In HOA areas, only professional pest controllers will be used for the application
of pesticides. Materials on how to control pests using non-toxic methods will be
made available to maintenance personnel.
wqir-pa6.doc
Project-Specific BMPs
The City Storm Water Standards Manual requkes specific BMPs if the project includes private
roads, residential driveways and guest parking, dock areas, maintenance bays, vehicle and
equipment wash areas, outdoor processing areas, surface parking areas, non-retail fueling areas,
or steep hillside landscaping. The Bressi Ranch Residential Planning Area 6 Project has
residential driveways and private roads. The City Storm Water Standards Manual Hsts five
options for residential driveways and three options for private roads. The Bressi Ranch
Residential Planning Area 6 Project does not include any of these options. However, the intent of
the Storm Water Standards is to reduce the discharge of pollutants from storm water conveyance
systems to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP statutory standard) throughout the use of a
developed site. The Bressi Ranch Residential Planning Area 6 Project meets this objective by
including treatment BMPs before discharging to the unnamed creek.
Structural Treatment BMPs
The selection of structural treatment BMP options is determined by the target pollutants, removal
efficiencies, expected flows, and space availability. Table 4 is a selection matrix for structural
treatment BMPs based on target pollutants and removal efficiencies.

The target pollutants for this project in order of general priority are sediment (with attached
materials such as bacteria and viruses, nutrients, pesticides, and metals), oxygen demanding
substances, trash and debris, and oil and grease. Based on the target pollutants and typical
removal efficiencies, the treatment BMP options to consider include detention basins, infiltration
basins, wet ponds, filtration and hydrodynamic separator systems.
The soil characteristics and the onsite drainage pattems for Planning Area 6 make infiltration
basins and wet ponds infeasible for this project.
wqtr-pa6.doc
10-
Detention Basins
Detention basins (a.k.a. dry extended detention ponds, dry ponds, extended detention basins,
detention ponds, extended detention ponds) are basins with controlled outlets designed to detain
storm water runoff allowing particles and associated pollutants to settle. Detention basins may
be designed to include vegetation, allowing for further pollutant removal through infiltration and
natural pollutant uptake by vegetation.
Detention basins are among the most widely applicable storm water management practices. They
should be used for drainage areas of at least 10 acres, and they can be used with almost all types
of soils and geology. Detention basins for improving water quality can also be designed and used
as flood control devices.
Based on the size of the Bressi Ranch development and proposed site plan, detention basins are a
feasible option for treating the storm water runoff from this project. However, the detention
basin for Bressi Ranch will not be used for water quality purposes since the basin was designed
for detention purposes only.
Filtration Systems
Filtration systems include bioretention, sand and organic filters, and proprietary devices.
Bioretention
Bioretention areas are landscape features designed to provide treatment of storm water runoff
These areas are typically shallow, landscaped depressions, located within small pockets of
residential land uses. During storms, the runoff ponds above the mulch and soil of the
bioretention system. The runoff filters through the mulch and soil mix, typically being collected
in a perforated underdrain and retumed to the MS4.

Sand and Organic Filters
For sand and organic filtration systems, there are five basic storm water filter designs:
• Surface sand filter: This is the original sand filter design with the filter bed and sediment
chamber placed aboveground. The surface sand filter is designed as an offline system that
receives only the smaller water quality events.
• Underground filter: This is the original sand filter design with the filter bed and sediment
chamber placed underground. It is an offline system that receives only the smaUer water
quality events.
• Perimeter filter: This is the only filtering option that is an online system with an overflow
chamber to accommodate large storm events.
• Organic media filter: This is a slight modification to the surface sand filter, with the sand
medium replaced with or supplemented by an organic medium to enhance pollutant
removal of many compounds.
• Multi-Chamber Treatment Train: This is an underground system with three filtration
chambers designed to achieve very high pollutant removal rates.
Proprietary Devices
Proprietary filtration devices include offline filtration systems, online filter units, and filtration
based inlet inserts. Proprietary catch basin insert devices contain a filtering medium placed
inside the stormwater system's catch basins. The insert can contain one or more treatment
mechanisms, which include filtration, sedimentation, or gravitational absorption of oils. The
water flows into the inlet, through the filter, where poUutants and contaminants are removed, and
then into the drainage system.
There are two primary designs for inlet inserts. One design uses fabric filter bags that are
suspended in place by the grate or by retainer rods placed across the catch basin. The fabric filter
design includes a skirt that dkects the storm water flow to a pouch that may be equipped with
wqtr-pa6jdoc
- 12-
oil-absorbing pillows. These inlet inserts are typically equipped with "Bypass Ports" to prevent
flooding during large storm events. Maintenance on the fabric filter inserts includes periodic
inspection and replacement of the entke insert when it becomes clogged with captured
poUutants. The other design for inlet inserts uses stainless steel, High-Density Polyethylene
(HDPE), or other durable materials to form a basket or cage-like insert placed inside the catch
basin. This basket contains the filter medium and absorbent materials that treat the storm water
as it passes through. These inlet inserts are also equipped with bypass pathways to allow normal
operation of the storm drain system during large storm events. Maintenance on the basket-type
inlet inserts includes periodic inspection and removal and replacement of the filter medium and
absorbent materials (not the entke inlet insert).
There are several types of proprietary inlet inserts for both design types:
• Fabric Filter Bag Design
o Stream Guard: Stream Guard works by initially capturing sediment and trash and
debris, and then combats dissolved oil, nutrients and metals through a filter media.
o Ultra-Drainguard: Ultra-Drainguard works by initially capturing sediment and trash
and debris, and then combats dissolved oil, nutrients and metals through a filter
media. The Ultra-Drainguard has an oil absorbent pillow that can be replaced separate
from the filter during times of large free-oil runoff
• Basket-type Inlet Inserts
o AbTech Ultra-Urban Filter: The Ultra-Urban Filter is a cost-effective BMP designed
for use in storm drains that experience oil and grease pollution accompanied by
sediment and trash and debris. The oil is permanently bonded to a SmartSponge,
while sediment and trash and debris are captured in an intemal basket.

wqtr-pa6.doc
- 13-
o AquaGuard: AquaGuard works by initially capturing sediment and trash and debris,
and then combats dissolved oil, nutrients and metals through a filter media.
AquaGuard compares to others by being easy to handle, i.e. no special Ufting
equipment for filter removal.
o FloGard: FloGard uses catch basin filtration, placing catch basin insert devices with a
fiker medium just under the grates ofthe stormwater system's catch basins. FloGard
handles non-soluble solids such as sediment, gravel, and hydrocarbons, which are all
potential pollutants originating from the roof and parking lot. FloGard is available for
standard catch basins and for roof downspouts. ^
Recommended Filtration System Option
Sand, media, and bioretention filters requke large amounts of land and have extremely high
maintenance costs compared to proprietary filtration designs. Of the two types of fdtration based
inlet insert designs, experience within Southem California has shown the basket-type inlet inserts
to be more reliable and less cumbersome for maintenance and proper operation.^ Therefore, the
best type of filtration system for this project is one of the basket-type proprietary filtration based
inlet inserts.
Hydrodynamic Separator Systems
Hydrodynamic separator systems (HDS) are flow-through structures with a settUng or separation
unit to remove sediments and other pollutants that are widely used in storm water treatment. No
outside power source is requked, because the energy of the flowing water allows the sediments
to efficiently separate. Depending on the type of unit, this separation may be by means of swirl
action or indkect filtration.

wqtr-pa6.doc
-14-
Hydrodynamic separator systems are most effective where the materials to be removed from
mnoff are heavy particulates that can be settled or floatables that can be captured, rather than
soUds with poor settleability or dissolved pollutants.
For hydrodynamic separator systems, there are four major proprietary types:
• Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS): CDS provides the lowest cost overall when
compared to other HDS units. A sorbent material can be added to remove unattached oil
and grease.^
• Downstream Defender™: Downstream Defender traps sediment while intercepting oil
and grease with a small head loss.
• Stormceptor®: Stormceptor traps sediment while intercepting oil and grease.^
• Vortechs^'^: Vortechs combines baffle walls, ckcular grit chambers, flow control
chambers, and an oil chamber to remove settleable soUds and floatables from the storm
water runoff^
Recommended Hydrodynamic Separator System Option
All of the abovementioned devices sufficiently remove the pollutants of concern from this site.
The best hydrodynamic separator for this project is the CDS unit because of its relatively low
cost and because it has been widely used in San Diego County.
BMP Selection
Basket-type proprietary filtration-based inlet inserts and CDS units are feasible options for this
project. The recommended treatment BMP is a CDS Unit. The CDS Unit will be able to treat
multiple planning areas in the Bressi Ranch Development, including Planning Area 6. The CDS

Unit will have lower maintenance frequency and costs than the inlet inserts due to the large
number of inlets in the planning areas.
BMP Plan Assumptions
The following assumptions were made in calculating the requked BMP sizes:
• Flows generated onsite will be treated, as well as storm water flows from Planning Areas
3b, 4, 10 and 15a.
• A runoff coefficient, 'C value, of 0.80 was used in the mnoff calculations for the
tributary treatment area. The treatment area includes industrial and residential areas,
therefore the 'C value reflects the proportions of each for the BMP design.
Table 5 summarizes the criteria that should be implemented in the design of the recommended
project BMP.

5. PROJECT BMP PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
This section identifies the recommended BMP options that meet the applicable storm water and
water quality ordinance requirements. This includes incorporating BMPs to minimize and
mitigate for runoff contamination and volume from the site. The plan was developed per the
proposed roadway and lot layout/density associated with the site.
Construction BMPs
During construction, BMPs such as desilting basins, silt fences, sand bags, gravel bags, fiber
roUs, and other erosion control measures may be employed consistent with the NPDES Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The objectives of the SWPPP are to:
• Identify all pollutant sources, including sources of sediment that may affect the water
quaHty of storm water discharges associated with construction activity from the
construction site;
• Identify non-storm water discharges;
• Identify, construct, implement in accordance with a time schedule, and maintain BMPs to
reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water
discharges from the construction site during constmction; and
• Develop a maintenance schedule for BMPs installed during construction designed to
reduce or eliminate pollutants after construction is completed (post-construction BMPs).
Recommended Post-Construction BMP Plan
PDC has identified a recommended water quality BMP plan for the Bressi Ranch Residential
Planning Area 6 Project. The following BMP plan is preUminary and is subject to change
pending City review and implementation of future policy requkements, and final engineering
design.
wqtr-pa6xJoc
17-
The recommended post-construction BMP plan includes site design, source control, and
treatment BMPs. The site design and source control BMPs include protection of slopes and
channels, inlet stenciling and signage, covered trash storage, efficient irrigation, storm water
education, and integrated pest management principles. The treatment BMP selected for this
project is a CDS Unit.

Section 2. Construction Storm Water BMP Requirements:
If the answer to question 1 of Part C is answered "Yes," your project is subject to Section IV, "Construction Stomn Water BMP
Perfonnance Standards," and must prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). If the answer to question 1 is "No,"
but the answer to any of the remaining questions is "Yes," your project is subject to Section IV, "Construction Stonn Water BMP
Perfonnance Standards," and must prepare a Water Pollution Control Plan (WPCP). If every question in Part C is answered "No," your
project is exempt trom any construction stomn water BMP requirements. If any of the answers to the questions in Part C are "Yes,"
complete the construction site prioritization in Part D, below.
Part C: Determine Construction Phase Storm Water Requirements.
Would the project meet any of these criteria during construction?
1. Is the project subject to California's statewide General NPDES Permit for Storm Water Discharges
Associated With Construction Activities?
2. Does the project propose grading or soil disturbance? •Yes No
3. Would storm water or urban runoff have the potential to contact any portion of the construction area,
including washing and staging areas?
Would the project use any construction materials that could negatively affect waler quality if discharged
from the site (such as, paints, solvents, concrete, and stucco)? •Yes No
Part D: Determine Construction Site Priority
In accordance with the Municipal Permit, each construction site with construction storm water BMP requirements must be designated
with a priority: high, medium or low. This prioritization must be completed with this form, noted on the plans, and included in the
SWPPP or WPCP. Indicate the project's priority in one of the check boxes using the criteria below, and existing and surrounding
conditions of the project, the lype of activities necessary lo complete the construction and any other extenuating circumstances that
may pose a threat to water quality. The City reserves the right to adjust the priority of the projects both before and during construction.
[Note: The constmction priority does NOT change construction BMP requirements that apply to projects; all construction BMP
requirements must be identified on a case-by-case basis. The construction priority does affect the frequency of inspections that will be
conducted by City staff. See Section IV. 1 for more details on construction BMP requirements.)
^ A) High Priority
1) Projects where the site is 50 acres or more and grading will occur during the wet season
2) Projects 5 acres or more and tributary to an impaired water body for sediment by the most current Clean Water Act
Section 303(d) list (e.g., Penasquitos watershed)
3) Projects 5 acres or more within or directly adjacent to or discharging directly to a coastal lagoon or other receiving
water within an water quality sensitive area
4) Projects, active or inactive, adjacent or tributary to sensitive water bodies
• B) Medium Priority
1) Capital Improvement Projects where grading occurs, however a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is
not required under the State General Construction Pennit (i.e., water and sewer replacement projects, intersection
and street re-alignments, widening, comfort stations, etc.)
2) Pemnit projects in the public right-of-way where grading occurs, however SWPPPs are not required, such as
installation of sidewalk, substantial retaining walls, curiD and gutter for an entire street frontage, etc.
3) Permit projects on private property where grading pennits are required (i.e., cuts over 5 feet, fills over 3 feet),
however. Notice Of Intents (NOIs) and SWPPPs are not required.
• C) Low Priority
1) Capital Projects where minimal to no grading occurs, such as signal light and loop installations, street light
installations, etc.
2) Permit projects in the public right-of-way where minimal to no grading occurs, such as pedestrian ramps,
driveway additions, small retaining walls, etc.
3) Permit projects on private property where grading permits are not required, such as small retaining walls, single-
family homes, small tenant improvements, etc.
