The 2.5-acre site is located within the greater La Costa Resort and Spa development. CITY OF OCEANSlOE Hicmi»T . — CITY OF ENONITAS r PRCJECT LOCATION VICINITY MAP NOT TO SCALE All runoff from the project site will drain south to the existing 36-inch RCP storm drain within El Camino Real, ultimately draining to San Marcos Creek. Runoff from San Marcos Creek eventually discharges into Batiquitos Lagoon. Per the City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Resort & Spa Phase III project is classified as a Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water BMP Requirements. Treatment of storm water runoff from the overall La Costa Villas project site has been previously addressed in a separate, approved SWMP document-the "Stom? Water Management Plan for La Costa Resort - Master Plan Amendment' dated October 2003 by Rick Engineering Company. 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 consistentwith criteria setforth by the Regional Water Quality Control Board's Order No. 2001-01, and the City of Carlsbad SUSMP. DEdjo H:\F!EPORTSa534\03\SWMP02.doc w.o. 2534.0003 3/7/20O7 1Z-30 PM This SWMP recommends the location and implementation of site and source control BMPs. The approved Rick Engineering Master SWMP has been attached to this site specific Phase III SWMP document to provide information in regards to expected pollutants of concern, conditions of concern, flow-based BMPs and the operation and maintenance of such infrastructure forthe master La Costa Resort and Spa development. 1.2 - Summarv of Developed Conditions The La Costa Resort & Spa, Phase 3 project proposes construction of resort villas, commercial buildings, and a parking structure. It must be noted that hydrologic impacts for the overall development of La Costa Resort & Spa have been addressed in a separate report named "Drainage Study for La Costa Resort & Spa" dated September 2006 by Hunsaker and Associates. Runoff from the developed site is collected and conveyed southerly via one (1) storm drain system within the project site, draining to a 24-inch storm drain. This 24-inch storm drain conveys flow in a southerly direction to a 36-inch storm drain adjacent to El Camino Real. These flows then ultimately discharge to San Marcos Creek. A runoff coefficient of 0.82 was assumed for the proposed developed site as per the "2003 San Diego County Hydrology Manual". Per the "Drainage Study for La Costa Resort & Spa Phase III", dated January 2007 by Hunsaker & Associates, peak flow data from the developed site is summarized in Table 1 below.

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 mnoff 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 stomn 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 such as trash & debris, oil & grease, heavy metals and organic compounds. Landscape activities 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 - Citv of Carlsbad SUSMP Criteria Per the City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Resort & Spa Phase III project is classified as a Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water BMP Requirements.

A CDS flow based treatment unit is located at the southwestern corner of the project site adjacent to El Camino Real. The enclosed map shows the location ofthe proposed flow-based BMPs. 3.2 - Determination of Treatment Flow Flow-based BMPs shall l3e designed to mitigate the maximum flowrate of runoff produced from a rainfall intensity of 0.2 inch per hour. Such BMP's 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 basic Rational Method mnoff procedure is as follows: Design flow (Q) = C * 1 * A Runoff Coefficient (C) - The weighted runoff coefficient for 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 - Commercial/Resort - 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.

CDS technology utilizes a non-blocking, non-screening process to remove pollutants from storm water flow. According to CDS information, these units capture fine sands and solids and are capable of removing more than 80 percent of annual total suspended solids from storm water. Additionally, CDS units are reported to remove 100 percent of floatables as well the following: 100% of all particles in the storm water equal to or greater than one-half the size of the screen opening 93% of all particles equal to or greater than one-third the size ofthe screen opening 53% of ail particles equal to or greater than one-fifth the size of the screen opening Standard CDS units have no moving parts (they are gravity-driven bythe hydraulic energy in the storm waterflow)), require no power or supporting infrastructure, and according to CDS information will not clog. Screen and supporting hardware are made of stainless steel and designed to resist corrosion. The units are installed below ground. CDS units have large sump capacities relative to their design flows and only need to be cleaned out with a standard vactor truck one to four times per year. This operation eliminates workers' exposure to materials captured in the units.

Landowners will 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. During landscaping operations both during and after construction, landscape maintenance should be completed proactively. When these operations are in progress, bare or disturbed areas should be re-seeded/re-vegetated as quickly as possible to ensure that erosion is minimized. In addition, when landscape maintenance operations require the stockpiling of materials for longer than a period of one day, these stockpiles should be covered to minimize the opportunity for rainfall to come in contact with the material. 4.2 - 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 mnoff. Landscaping staff will be educated as to the proper application of fertilizers and herbicides to lawns and gardens. The average landscaped site contains a wide variety of toxins such as oil/grease, antifreeze, paint, household cleaners and solvents. Landscaping staff will be educated as to the proper use, storage, and disposal of these 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) H:\REPORTSU534«)3VSWMP02.iloc w a. 2534.0003 3/7/2007 12:30 PM - 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.). 4.3 - Automobile Use Urban pollutants resulting from automobile use include oil, grease, antifreeze, hydraulic fluids, copper from brakes, and various fuels. Homeowners will 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 will make all homeowners aware ofthe aforementioned RWQCB regulations through a homeowners' education program (note: examples are from the City of Carlsbad). Homeowners should be notified via HOA newsletter prior to the rainy season (Oct. 1^') of storm water requirements. 4.4 - Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Principles Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based pollution prevention strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitation manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant plant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment. More information may be obtained at the UC Davis website (http://www.ipn.ucdavis.edU/WATER/U/index.html). DEdig H:\REPORTS\2534\03««MP0Zdoc w.0. 2534.0003 3/7/2007 12:30 PM IPM is achieved via the following: Common Areas: - Eliminate and/or reduce the need for pesticide use in the project design by: (1) Plant pest resistant or well-adapted plant varieties such as native plants. (2) Discouraging pests by modifying the site and landscape design. Home Owners: Educate homeowners on applicable pest resistant plants and native species and also encouraging onsite landscaping design. Pollution prevention is the primary "first line of defense" because pollutants that are never used do not have to be controlled or treated (methods which are inherently less efficient). - Distribute IPM educational materials to future site residents/tenants. Minimally, educational materials must address the following topics: (1) Keeping pests out of buildings and landscaping using barriers, screens and caulking. (2) Physical pest elimination techniques, such as, weeding, squashing, trapping, washing, or pruning out pests. (3) Relying on natural enemies to eat pests. (4) Proper use of pesticides as a last line of defense. 4.5 - Storm Water Convevance Svstems Stenciling and Signage The proposed development will incorporate concrete stamping, or equivalent, of all storm water conveyance system inlets and catch basins within the project area with prohibitive language (e.g., "No Dumping - I Live in «name receiving water»"), satisfactory to the City Engineer. Stamping may also be required in Spanish. 4.6 - Efficient Irrigation Practices All maintained landscaped areas will include rain shutoff devices to prevent irrigation during and after precipitation. Flow reducers and shutoff valves triggered by pressure drop will be used to control water loss from broken sprinkler heads or lines. 4.7 - Pet Ownership Responsibilitv Not applicable to this site because this site contains a resort where pets are not typically allowed. DE;mi H:\REPORTS\2534\03\SWMP03.doc w.o. 2534-0003 4/30/2007 10:19 AM Chapter 5 - SITE DESIGN BMPS 5.1 - Site Desiqn BMPs Priority projects, such as the La Costa Resort & Spa Phase 111 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. 5.2 - Minimize Impervious Footprint Methods of accomplishing this goal include: - Construct streets, sidewalks, and parking lots to the minimum widths necessary to be in accordance with standards set forth by the City of Carlsbad. 5.3 - Conserve Natural Areas There is no current natural area to preserve onsite, hence this is not applicable. 5.4 - Permeable Pavements Site design BMP alternatives such as pervious pavements were also considered for use within the La Costa Resort & Spa Phase III project site. However, the use of pervious pavements has several disadvantages such as: Porous pavement has a tendency to become clogged if improperly installed or maintained. Porous pavement has a high rate of failure. Anaerobic conditions may develop in underlying soils ifthe soil is unable to dry out between storm events. This may impede microbiological decomposition. Expansive soils were found on-site These factors listed influenced the decision to not include pervious pavements within the site design. DE:dlg H:lREPOR7S\2534V03\SWMP02.iloc 5.5 - Minimize Directiv Connected Impervious Areas Methods of accomplishing this goal include: Draining rooftops into adjacent landscaping prior to discharging to the storm drain. Draining roads, sidewalks and impervious trails into adjacent landscaping. These site design techniques will not be implemented within the La Costa Resort & Spa Phase III project. Roof drains will not discharge to receiving swales as the swales would be located directly adjacent to the building walls, leading to possible undermining of the buildings' structural foundations. In orderto prevent possible damage to the proposed development, all lots will be serviced by individual area drains, discharging flow to the receiving storm drain system. 5.6 - Residential Drivewavs & Guest Parking As this is a multi-family residential development and not a single family residential development, no driveways have been proposed for the project site. Residences are serviced by a surface parking lot. As such, no site design has been specified for this purpose. 5.7 - Maximize Canopv Interception & Water Conservation Landscaping on site will incorporate the planting of native, drought tolerant vegetation to meet this requirement. 5.8 - Trash Storage Areas Trash storage areas could be sources of bacteria pollutants. As such, all outdoor trash container areas shall meet the following requirements. A "trash containment area" refers to an area where a trash receptacle or receptacles are located for use as a repository for solid wastes. Design for such areas will include: - Paved with an impervious surface, designed not to allow run-on from adjoining areas, screened or walled to prevent off-site transport of trash. - Provide attached lids on all trash containers that exclude rain, roof or awning to minimize direct precipitation. Note: All trash container areas will be located indoors, thus will not come in contact with storm water.

Funding forthe water quality treatment devices will be provided by the Master La Costa Resort & Spa HOA. The Master La Costa Resort & Spa HOA will be responsible to perform the maintenance activities and to ensure adequate funding. The City of Carlsbad Watershed Protection, Stormwater Management, and Discharge Control Ordinance require ongoing maintenance of BMPs to ensure the proper function and operation of theses BMPs. 6.1.2 - Annual Operations & Maintenance Costs - CDS Treatment Unit - Periodic Inspection, Maintenance and Monitoring = $800 x 1 - Annual Cleanout Cost = $1,000 x 1 CDS Subtotal = $1,800 10% Contingency = $180 Approximate Total Annual Maintenance Costs = $1,980 OE:d|g H:\REPORT5\2S34^03\SVVMP0Zdoc INSERT DRAWINGS HERE
