Neighborhood 1.14 is located in the southeastern corner ofthe development, east of Alicante Road, north of Alga Road and south of Neighborhood 1.12 and the SDG&E easement. Neighborhood 1.14 is one of the subdivisions within the La Costa Greens 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 1.14 will drain to a proposed storm drain outlet located near the intersection of Goldstone Road and Street GG in Neighborhood 1.14. Storm drain flow discharges to an existing 42-inch RCP in the Alga Road storm drain system. Runoff from Neighborhood 1.13, 1.14, the southern portion of 1.12 and the adjacent development east of La Costa Greens Phase 1 will also drain to this storm drain outlet location. All stormwater draining to this location will be treated in one treatment unit prior to discharge. 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. Perthe City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Greens Neighborhoods 1.14 project is classified as a Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water BMP Requirements.

All calculations are consistent with criteria setforth 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 forthe design of flow-based and volume- based BMPs. 1.2 - Summarv of Pre-Developed Conditions Phase 1 ofthe 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 1.14 is located to the southern extent ofthe development, west Alicante Road, east ofthe golf course, south of Neighborhood 1.11 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 - Summarv of Proposed Development The La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.14 project will include construction ofthree (3) 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 33 residences. The total project consists of 129 residential lots and 8 open space lots, for a total area of 34.22 acres (21.15 acres and 12.07 acres respectively). Approximately 35% will remain undeveloped. The offsite developed areas, which will drain to the storm drain outlet located in Neighborhood 1.14 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 - Phasel Neighborhoods 1.08 through 1.14," prepared by Hunsaker & Associates San Diego, Inc. April 17, 2003. The O'Day report identified a total of 13 acres of offsite developed area that contribute flow to the La Costa development in the vicinity of Neighborhood 1.12 and 1.13. The Hunsaker & Associates report identified one run DE:de H:\REPORTS\2341\19\SWMP01.doc w.o. 2341-19 8/11/2004 12:03 PM CARLSBAD WATERSHED MAP FOH LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.14 CtTY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.14 Storm Water Management Plan on location near the southeast corner of Neighborhood 1.12 and the northeast corner of Neighborhood 1.13 consisting of 13 acres of area. The Quadrangle Map Watershed Exhibit for La Costa Greens illustrates the 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 near the intersection of Goldstone Road and Street GG in Neighborhood 1.14 (see Ultimate Condition Site Map included in the pocket ofthe this report). 85^^^ 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 85"^ 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 85'^ percentile calculations forthe proposed water quality treatment unit for the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.14 development.

DE;de H:\REPORTS\2341M9\SWMP01.doc w.o.2341.19 8/11/2004 12:03PM La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.14 Storm Water Management Plan Prior to discharge into the existing storm drain in Alga Road, storm water from Neighborhood 1.14 will pass though a proposed diversion structure that will divert the entire 85"^ percentile flow to a proposed storm water treatment unit. Flows in excess ofthe treatment flow will bypass the treatment unit. This analysis indicates that a Vortechs Model 7000 will be required to meet the water quality treatment requirements. The proposed Vortechs Model 7,000 will be located offline from the main storm drain system near the intersection of Goldstone Road and Street GG. 85*^ percentile flows will be treated in the proposed Vortechs unit prior to discharging to the existing storm drain in Alga Road. The proposed Vortechs unit is an offline precast treatment unit. The 85**^ 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. 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.

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. Perthe RWQCB Order, post-development runoff from a site shall not contain pollutant loads which cause or contribute to an exceedance of receiving 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 ofthe urban development ofthe 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 85'^^ 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 1.14 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.

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 - Oxvgen-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 ofthe water body, as well as the water quality.

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.

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 ofthe Cartsbad 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 watenways (included in this Chapter). Per the "Water Quality Plan for the San Diego Basin", the beneficial uses forthe Batiquitos Lagoon and San Marcos Creek includes agricultural supply, conlact 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 ofthe San Marcos hydrologic area.

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, 85*^ percentile flow calculations were performed using the Rational Method. The t»asic Rational Method runoff procedure is as follows: Design flow (Q) = C * I * A Runoff Coefficient (C) - In accordance with the County of San Diego 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 ofthe 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 Treatnfient 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.

Sediment is caught in the swirling flow path and settles back onto the pile after 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 85"^ percentile flow. 5.3 - Pollutant Removal Efficiencv Table Pollutant of Concern BMP Categories Hydrodynamic Separation Devices*^^ Vortechs'" Stormwater Treatment System Sediment M-H H Nutrients L-M L-M Heavy Metals L-M L-M Organic Compounds L-M L-M Trash & Debris M-H H Oxygen Demanding Substances L L Bacteria L L Oil & Grease L-H H Pesticides L L (1) The County will periodically assess the performance characteristics ofthese BMPs to update this table.

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 ofthe 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 15*^ 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 1.14 is a member of. Approximate annual maintenance costs for each of the proposed Vortechs units are outlined below. Costs assume a 3 man crew: Maintenance for Model 7000: Periodic Inspection, Maintenance and Monitoring = $800 Annual Cleanout Cost = $2,500 Subtotal = $3,300 Contingency = $330 Total = $3,630 OE:de H:\REPORTS\2341\19\SWMP01.doc w.o. 2341-19 8/11/2004 12:03 PM La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.14 Storm Water Management Plan CHAPTER 6 - SOURCE CONTROL BMPS 6.1 - Landscapinq 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 Housekeepinq Fertilizer applied by homeowners, in addition to organic matter such as leaves and lawn clippings, all resuft 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 ofthese potential storm water runoff contaminants. Perthe 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 irrigation 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.).

Homeowners should be educated as to the proper use, storage, and disposal ofthese 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 Desiqn BMPs Priority projects, such as the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.14 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 priorto discharging to the storm water conveyance system.

The proposed treatment unit will located offline from the main storm drain system and is proposed in the vicinity of the intersection of Goldstone Road and Street GG in Neighborhood 1.14. 7.2 - Determination of Desiqn Treatment Flows The 85* 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.
