3.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
3.1 Project Location
The project site is located in the City of Carisbad on the south side of Tamarack Avenue, adjacent and west
of the railroad right-of-way, at 391 Tamarack Avenue, APN 206-020-08. Figure 3.1 illustrates the project
location. The Tentative Map includes the project details, as further discussed in this section.
Figure 3.1
3.2 Project Description
The proposed Sea Breeze Villas project is a private 12-unit airspace condominium project with a play area
located north of Building B. The project has a total of 5 guest parking spaces.
To conform to LID requirements for BMPs, the project utilizes the use of permeable pavers manufactured
by ECO Stone. These pavers are located in the center 8-foot wide section of the driveway. Overflow from
the site drains via a 12-inch diameter PVC drain which connects to an existing catch basin located along
the southeriy curb of Tamarack Avenue. The yard drains in the project area tie to the underground storm
drain system. This system extends to a box culvert drain in the railroad right-of-way which ultimately
discharges at Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
The existing site has a single family home on it. The home is to be demolished. The property is
surrounded to the west and south by multifamily development and by the railroad to the east.
The detailed single sheet post-construction BMP exhibit is included as Attachmer)t A.
3.3 Project Size
The project is located on a 0.70 acre site. The total disturbed area of the site is 0.70 acres. The project will
be built in one phase.
3.4 Impervious and Pen/ious Surface areas
The existing site is approximately 90% pervious. The proposed development after completion will be about
75% impervious. The project will result in an increase in impervious area from existing to final development
conditions.

4.0 PROJECT SITE ASSESSMENT
This section includes information used to consider the potential water quality and hydrologic impacts from
the proposed project. This information is important when considering the appropriate BMPs to reduce
identified potential impacts as well as when designing low impact development (LID), source control and
treatment control measures to reduce those impacts.
Constraints presented by high density land use eliminated the use of urban green biofilter, vegetated
swales, wetlands/wetponds. Use of UNI Eco-Stone permeable pavers provided the opportunity to infiltrate
the runoff into the ground.
4.1 Land Use and Zoning
The existing land use on the project is RD-M.
4.2 Existing Topography
The existing site is fairiy flat and draws from north to south. The site has no definite drainage pattern.
4.3 Existing and Proposed Drainage
The existing site drains southeriy in an uneven fashion towards the railroad property.
The proposed drainage system consists of permeable pavers manufactured by UNI Eco-Stone. These
pavers are installed in the center of the driveway. The pavers are laid over a bedding course of V/2 to 2"
thick aggregate which is laid over a stone open graded base. Overflow/secondary outlet from the site
consists of a 12" diameter PVC storm drain which connects to a public storm drain on Tamarck Avenue that
connects to storm drain discharging at Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
4.4 Watershed and Receiving Waters
The proposed project is located within the Carisbad (HU 904) watershed or hydrologic unit and the
subwatershed or hydrologic area of Encinas. The surface and groundwater receiving waters located in the
area and downstream of this project include Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The designated beneficial uses of
these waters include MUN, AGR, RECl. REC2, IND, PROC, GWR, FRSH, NAV, POW and COMM.
4.5 303(d) Listed Receiving Waters
The receiving water body for the project is Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the ultimate receiving body is
Pacific Ocean. The receiving water is impaired for the following pollutants.
Agua Hedionda Lagoon: indicator bacteria, sedimentation/siltation; Pacific Ocean Shoreline (Buena Vista
Creek HA, Escondido Creek HA, Loma Alta HA, San Marcos HA): indicator bacteria.

5.0 POLLUTANTS OF CONCERN
Per Table 2-1 of City SUSMP, the potential storm water or urban runoff pollutants expected to be
associated with this project, an attached residential development and parking lot are:
• Bacteria and Viruses: Anticipated sources include animal excrement (found in areas where pets are
often walked), sanitary sewer overflow and trash container handling areas.
• Oil and Grease: Potential sources of oil and grease include motor vehicles.
• Oxygen-Demanding Substances: Potential sources include biodegradable organic materials and
various household chemicals, which deplete dissolved oxygen levels in water courses.
Anticipated storm water or urban runoff pollutants expected to be associated with the project are:
Sediment: Landscape areas and roof-tops are expected to be common sources of sediment due to
erosion and wear.
Nutrients: Nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus and other compounds can be anticipated to be
generated by organic litter, fertilizers, food waste, sewage and sediment.
Metals: Potential sources of trace metals (copper, lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel and zinc) include
motor vehicles, re-roofing and hardscape/construction materials, and chemicals.
Pesticides: Sources of pesticides include household bug spray, weed killers and other household
sources.
Trash and Debris: These sources include common litter, biodegradable organic matter such as
leaves, grass cuttings and food wastes from landscaped areas and homeowners.
5.1 Project Categories and Features
The project is an attached residential development.
5.2 Project Watershed Information
The Carisbad Hydrologic Unit (HU) 4.00 is approximately 210 square miles extending from the headwaters
above Lake Wolhford in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and from Vista and Oceanside in the
north to Solana Beach, Escondido, and the community of Rancho Santa Fe to the south. The cities of
Carisbad, San Marcos, and Encinitas are entirely within this HU. There are numerous important surface
hydrologic features within the Carisbad HU including 4 unique coastal lagoons, 3 major creeks, and 2 large
water storage reservoirs. The HU contains four major coastal lagoons. From north to south they are
Buena Vista (901.2), Agua Hedionda (904.3), Batiquitos (904.5), and San Elijo (904.6) HAs. There are
other HAs and HSAs in the project area as listed below.

5.3 Hydromodification
In accordance with City's standards, it was determined (see Attached HMP Applicability Determination
Sketch, Figure 2-1 of City's SUSMP) that the project is exempt from hydromodification, per node 7 and 8 of
Figure 2-1 which states "for projects discharging runoff directly to a hardened conveyance or rehabilitated
stream system that extends to exempt receiving waters".
The project discharges via a City maintained system into Agua Hedionda Lagoon, via an 84-inch diameter
storm drain. Plans obtained from the City of Carisbad for the 84-inch diameter storm drain (Dwg No. 360-5,
Project No. 3182/3528) indicate that the existing Qioo at outlet is 453 cfs. An additional 0.30 cfs (increased
runoff) from the site will have a very minimal or no impact to the capacity of this system. However, since
the project is discharging to a tidely influenced lagoon, the enclosed Biology Study is included as required
per the exemption under node 6. The study concludes:
The water outflow from the existing drain system has a minor depressive effect on the salinity levels within
the Central Basin of Agua Hedionda during peak events associated with the 100-year storm. Such effects
are a normal condition within coastal lagoons, and the vegetation and wildlife that are associated with
estuarine conditions are well adapted to such salinity fluctuations. The proposed projects output would be
insignificantly small compared to the existing conditions, causing a change in salinity of only about 0.02 ppt.
In addition, the analysis did not consider the much greater effects on lagoon salinity associated with the
inflow of Agua Hedionda Creek to the Inner Basin, which has a design flow 010 of more that 2,100 cfs(or
4.6 times greater than the QIOO from the 84" storm drain).
Because of the lack of vegetation from the storm drain outfall to the unvegetated tidal flats of the lagoon,
the project would have no effect on existing vegetation. Since the site would be covered by the
condominium project and storm flows routed through BMPs, flows originating from the site would not
transport or erode material that could then be transported to the lagoon and so effect the current
impairment issue regarding sedimentation/siltation. Further the Bio Clean Device will serve to effectively
reduce sediment from the site and reduce the bacteria typically found in organic wastes contained in urban
discharges. Based on the results of this analysis, the proposed project would have no measurable
detrimental effect on the water quality being discharged to Agua Hedionda, nor would it alter salinity or
otherwise change the quality of the various habitats associated with the receiving water body.

6.0 HYDROLOGIC & GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS OF CONCERN/ DRAINAGE
REPORT
This section of the SWMP identifies hydrologic and geotechnical conditions of concern related to the
proposed project. Impacts to the hydrologic regime resulting from development typically include increased
runoff volume and velocity; reduced infiltration; increased flow frequency, duration, and peaks; faster time
to reach peak flow; and water quality degradation. A change to a priority project site's hydrologic regime is
considered a condition of concern if the change impacts downstream channels and habitat integrity.
Conditions of concern can include problems such as flooding, erosion, scour, and other impacts that can
adversely and permanently affect channel and habitat integrity.
There are no hydrological and geotechnical conditions of concern. A drainage report was prepared for the
proposed project by DMS Consultants, Inc., as required by the City, and is included as an Attachment D.
A geotechnical report was also prepared for the proposed project by Strata-Tech, Inc., dated April 20, 2010,
as required by the City, and is included as Attactiment C.

Sea Breeze Villas - Storm Water Management Plan
7.0 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs)
Minimizing the proposed project's effects on water quality, as well as compliance with State and local
requirements can be most effectively achieved by using a combination of BMPs which include Low Impact
Design (LID) Site Design, Source Control, and for Priority projects, Treatment Control measures. These
design and control measures employ a multi-level strategy. The strategy, which is detailed in the City's
Stormwater Standards Manual Section 1 of SUSMP, consists of: 1) reducing or eliminating post-project
runoff; 2) controlling sources of pollutants; and 3) treating stormwater runoff before discharging it to the
storm drain system or to receiving waters.
This SWMP and the proposed BMPs for the proposed project have been developed to minimize drainage
impacts identified in Section 5 of this report and the introduction of pollutants identified in Section 2 of City's
Stormwater Standards Manual, into the municipal storm drain system and/or ultimate drainage receiving
waterbody.
7.1 LID Site Design Strategies and BMPs
Conceptually, there are four LID strategies for managing runoff from buildings and paving:
1. Optimize the site layout;
2. Use pervious surfaces;
3. Disperse runoff; and
4. Design Integrated Management Practices (IMPs).
Where the project is located within the Agua Hedionda Hydrologic Area, the following design strategies
shall be implemented where applicable and feasible.
• Medium Density Residential: A cluster design will be used, grouping the housing units closer
together on smaller lots, and leaving one-third of the site as undeveloped open space. Impervious
area shall be reduced by decreasing driveway length, sidewalk use, and overall road footprint.
• Multifamily Residential: Impervious area will be reduced somewhat by more efficient layout.
Impervious area has been substantially reduced by use of permeable pavers in the driveway.
7.1.1 Optimize the Site Layout
The development has incorporated by design, reduced street widths to reduce the amount of
impervious area. The project also includes multi-level units to reduce the amount of runoff and reduce
overall footprint.
As part of the design of all common area landscape areas, similar planting material with similar water
requirements will be used to reduce excess irrigation runoff and promote surface filtration.
June 30,2011 Page 13
Sea Breeze Villas - Storm Water Management Plan
7.1.2 Use Pervious Surfaces
Pervious pavers will be used in the drive area to retain runoff. An emergency inlet has been provided
at the downstream end of the driveway for emergency overflow. The runoff from this overflow will drain
via a 12-inch PVC storm drain and connect to an existing catch basin located in Tamarack Avenue.
The runoff from rear yards will be directed to a baffle box located downstream of rear yards before out-
letting into the storm drain system.
7.1.3 Disperse Runoff
The runoff from impervious areas drain to impervious pavers located in the center of the driveway.
Runoff from patios drain to flow through planters.
7.1.4 Integrated Management Practices (IMPs)
IMP used for the project is a permeable interiocking concrete pavers manufactured by UNI Eco-Stone,
over 8-inch of open graded gravel as an infiltration trench.
7.2 Source Control BMPs
It is anticipated that the following pollutants will be generated at this site:
Sediment: Landscape areas and roof-tops are expected to be common sources of sediment due to
erosion and wear.
Nutrients: Nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus and other compounds can be anticipated to be
generated by or founding organic litter, fertilizers, food waste, sewage and sediment.
Metals: Potential sources of trace metals (copper, lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel and zinc) include
motor vehicles, re-roofing and hardscape/construction materials, and chemicals.
Pesticides: Sources of pesticides include household bug spray, weed killers and other household
sources.
Trash and Debris: These sources include common litter, biodegradable organic matter such as
leaves, grass cuttings and food wastes from landscaped areas and homeowners.
Based on these anticipated pollutants and operational activities at the site the following Table 7-1
summarizes the Source Control BMPs to be installed and/or implemented onsite.

7.3 Treatment Control BMPs
Given below is the basis of selection of use of permeable pavers as BMP and the related calculations.
7.3.1 Selection
Various BMPs including modular wetland system, urban green biofiller, flow through planter box,
vegetated swale and wetlands/wetponds were considered for the facility but not found feasible because
ofthe following reasons.
1. The natural terrain is not existent for wetlands and reuse. Also the existing ground is not habitable
for it.
2. Vegetated swale was not considered suitable for the site due to the high density land use and
development leaving unsuitable amount of area for such BMPs.
3. Bioretention facilities, settling basins and higher-rate biofilters were not considered suitable for the
site due to the high density land use and development leaving unsuitable amount of area for such
BMPs.
Table 7-2 provides a general comparison of how various types of treatment facilities perform for each
group of pollutants. The pollutants for the proposed project are identified in Section 5.

Based on this, the following facility has been selected for the proposed project:
• UNI Eco-Stone pavers were selected for the project because not only does it conform to LID
requirements; it also allows reduction of volume and peak flows, improved water permeable
pavers, filtering of pollutants and recharge of ground water. The Geotechnical report included as
Attachment C of this report indicates that the ground water is 10 feet or greater from infiltration
facility. Rear yards will be treated by installing a baffle box, model NSBB-2-4-60, manufactured by
Suntree Technologies, Inc., downstream of rear yards before outletting to 18-inch diameter on-site
storm drain system, see Attachment A, B and E.

Irvine, CA 92603
9.2 Operations, Maintenance and Inspection
9.2.1 Typical Maintenance Requirements
All permeable pavements, including porous asphalt and pervious concrete, require periodic cleaning to
maintain high infiltration rates, and care must be taken to keep sediment off the pavement during and
after construction. Studies and field experience have shown that infiltration rates may be maintained
by street sweeping/vacuuming. The frequency of cleaning is typically dependent on traffic levels. It is
generally recommended to vacuum the pavement surface at least once or twice a year. Periodic
inspections ofthe site should be conducted for ponding or areas with reduced levels of infiltration.
The frequency of service should be 1 - 4 times per year determined by the accumulation of sediment
and debris in the Nutrient Separating Baffle Box. The service will include cleaning the screen system,
removing collected sediment from the baffle chambers and inspecting the Storm Boom for replacement
in the skimmer system. The primary method used to service the Nutrient Separating Baffle Box is by
vacuuming with a Vactor type unit.
9.2.2 Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plan
An O&M Plan is provided with this Storm Water Management Plan in Section 9.0.
An O&M Plan has been prepared for the proposed project and submitted for approval by the City prior
to entitlements. The O&M Plan describes the designated responsible party to manage the stormwater
BMP(s), employee's training program and duties, operating schedule, maintenance frequency, routine
service schedule, specific maintenance activities, copies of resource agency permits, and any other
necessary activities. At a minimum, maintenance agreements shall require the inspection and
servicing of all structural BMPs per manufacturer or engineering specifications. Parties responsible for
the O&M Plan shall retain records for at least 5 years. These documents shall be made available to
the City for inspection upon request at any time.
9.2.3 Project BMP Verification
The applicant's Engineer of Record must verify through inspection of the site that the BMPs have been
constructed and implemented as proposed in the approved SWMP. The inspection must be conducted
and City approval must be obtained prior to granting a certificate of occupancy. This approval may be
verified through signatures on the as-built plans, specifically on the BMP sheet.

Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Investigation of Proposed
Multi Family Residential Development, 391
Tamarack Avenue, Carlsbad, California.
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request, a geotechnical investigation has been performed at the subject site. The
purposes ofthe investigation were to determine the general engineering characteristics ofthe soils
on and underlying the site and to provide recommendations for the design of foundations,
pavements and underground improvements.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
It is our understanding that the proposed development will consist of approximately 12 attached
town homes of wood-framed construction with parking and landscaping.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of the study was to obtain subsurface information within the project site area and to
provide recommendations pertaining to the proposed development and included the following:
1. A cursory reconnaissance of the site and surrounding areas.
2. Excavation of exploratory geotechnical test pits to determine the subsurface soil and
groundwater conditions.
3. Collection of representative bulk and/or undisturbed soil samples for laboratory analysis.
4. Laboratory analyses of soil samples including determination of in-situ and maximum density,
in-situ and optimum moisture content, shear strength and consolidation characteristics,
expansion potential and liquefaction analysis.
5. Preparation of this report presenting results of our investigation and recommendations for the
proposed development.

SITE CONDITIONS
The 117 by 266 foot rectangular lot is located on the south side of Tamarack Avenue, adjacent to
the west side ofthe coastline raikoad tracks in Carlsbad, California. A small single story house is
currently in the front ofthe lot, with a debris-covered lot in the rear. The site is shown on the
attached vicinity Map, Plate No. 1.
Site configuration is ftirther illustrated on the Site Plan, Plate 2.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on February 26, 2010, consisting of excavating four backhoe
test pits and two hand dug percolation test holes. The locations are shown on the attached Site
Plan, Plate 2. As the excavation progressed, personnel from this office visually classified the soils
encountered, and secured representative samples for laboratory testing.
Description of the soils encountered are presented on the attached Test Pit Logs. The data
presented on these logs is a simplification of actual subsurface conditions encountered and applies
only at the specific boring location and the date excavated. It is not warranted to be representative
of subsurface conditions at other locations and times.
EARTH MATERIALS
Earth materials encountered within the exploratory test pits were visually logged by a
representative from STRATA-TECH, Inc. The materials were classified as artificial fill and native
soils.
Native soils consisted of a silty residual sandy soil to a maximum depth explored of 7 feet.
Groundwater was not encountered in any of our geotechnical pits.
SEISMICITY
Southem California is located in an active seismic region. Moderate to strong earthquakes cari
occur on numerous faults. The United States Geological Survey, CaUfomia Division of Mines and
Geology private consultants, and universities have been studymg earthquakes in
Southern' California for several decades. The purpose ofthe code seismic design parameters is to
prevent collapse during strong ground shaking. Cosmetic damage should be expected.
The principal seismic hazard to the subject property and proposed project is strong ground shaking
from earthquakes produced by local faults. Secondary effects such as surface rupture, lurching, or
flooding are not considered probable.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Development ofthe site as proposed is considered feasible from a soils engineering standpoint,
provided that the recommendations stated herein are incorporated in the design and are
implemented in the field. Recommendations are subject to change based on review of final
foundation and grading plans.
It is recommended that the proposed structtires be entirely supported by compacted fill.
A minimum 1-foot thick compacted fill blanket below the bottom of the footings is
recommended.
For other minor structures such as property line walls or retaining walls less than 4 feet high,
competent native soils or compacted fill may be used for structural support.
PROPOSED GRADING
Grading plans were not available at the time our work was performed. It is assumed that
proposed grades will not differ significantly from existing grades. The following
recommendations are subject to change based on review of final grading plans.
GRADING RECOMMENDATIONS
Removal and recompaction of existing fill and loose native soils will be required to provide
adequate support for foundations and slabs on grade. The depth of removal shall be 1 foot below
the bottom ofthe footings. The depth of removal is estimated to be at least 3 feet.
Earthwork for foundation support shall include the entire building pad and shall extend a
minimum of 5 feet outside exterior footing lines where feasible or to property line. While no
structures are on adjacent properties care shall be exercised not to undermine adjacent hardscape,
walls, or pavements.

The exposed excavation bottom shall be observed and approved by STRATA-TECH, Inc. and
the City's grading inspector prior to processing. Dependent on field observations, removals may
be adjusted up or down. Subsequent to approval of the excavation bottom, the area shall be
scarified 6 inches, moisture conditioned as needed, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent
relative compaction.
Fill soils shall be placed in 6 to 8 inch loose lifts, moisture conditioned as needed, and
compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. This process shall be utilized to
finish grade.
Grading for hardscape areas shall consist of removal and recompaction of soft surficial soils.
Removal depths are estimated at 1 to 2 feet. Earthwork shall be performed in accordance with
previously specified methods.
Grading and/or foundation plans shall be reviewed by the soil engineer. All recommendations are
subject to modification upon review of such plans.
FOUNDATIONS ON COMPACTED FILL
The proposed building may be supported by continuous spread and isolated footings placed a
minimum depth of 24 inches below lowest adjacent grade utilizing an allowable bearing value of
2,000 pounds per square foot. This value is for dead plus live load and may be increased 1/3 for
total including seismic and wind loads where allowed by code.

It is recommended that all footings be reinforced with a minimum of two no. 4 bars (1 top and 1
bottom). The structural engineer's reinforcing requirements should be followed if more
stringent.
Footing excavations shall be observed by a representative of STRATA-TECH, Inc. prior to
placement of steel or concrete to verify competent soil conditions. If unacceptable soil
conditions are exposed mitigation will be recommended.
FOUNDATIONS ON COMPETENT NATIVE SOILS - for Minor Structures
Minor structures may be supported by continuous spread footings placed a minimum depth of
24 inches below lowest adjacent grade and 12-inches into natural soil utilizing an allowable

bearing value of 1,500 pounds per square foot. This value is for dead plus live load and may be
increased 1/3 for total including seismic and wind loads where allowed by code.
Footing excavations shall be observed by a representative of STRATA-TECH, Inc. prior to
placement of steel or concrete to verify competent soil conditions. If unacceptable soil conditions
are exposed, mitigation will be recommended.
LATERAL DESIGN
Lateral restraint at the base of footings and on slabs may be assumed to be the product ofthe dead
load and a coefficient of friction of .30. Passive pressure on the face of footings may also be used
to resist lateral forces. A passive pressure of zero at the surface of fmished grade, increasing at the
rate of 300 pounds per square foot of depth to a maximum value of 2,500 pounds per square foot,
may be used for compacted fill or native soils at this site. If passive pressure and friction are
combined when evaluating the lateral resistance, the value of the passive pressure should be limited
to 2/3 of the values given above.
RETAINING WALLS
Unrestrained walls up to 5-feet in height retaining drained earth may be designed for the following:
Surface Slope of Retained Material
Horizontal to Vertical
Equivalent Fluid Pressure Pounds
Per Cubic Foot
Level 30
5 to 1 32
4 to 1 35
3tol 38
2 to 1 43
These values include seismic loading. Backfill should consist of clean sand and gravel. While all
backfills should be compacted to the required degree, exfra care should be taken working close to
walls to prevent excessive pressure. Retaining walls should include subdrains consisting of 4-inch,
SCH 40 or SDR 35 perforated pipe surrounded by 1 cubic foot per lineal foot of crushed rock. All
wall backfill should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction.
All retaining structtires should include appropriate allowances for anticipated surcharge loading,
where applicable. In this regard, a uniformly distributed horizontal load equal to one-half the
vertical surcharge shall be applied when the surcharge is within a horizontal distance equal to the
wall height.
Retaining wall footing excavations shall be founded entirely in competent native soils or
compacted fill. Footing bottoms shall be observed by a representative of STRATA-TECH, Inc., to
verify competent conditions.

EXPANSIVE SOILS
Results of expansion tests indicate that the near surface soils have a low expansion potential.
SETTLEMENT
The maximum total post-construction settlement is anticipated to be on the order of 1/2 inch.
Differential settlements are expected to be less than 1/2 inch, measured between adjacent structural
elements.
SUBSIDENCE & SHRINKAGE
Subsidence over the site during grading is anticipated to be on the order of .5 feet. Shrinkage of
reworked materials should be in the range of 10 to 15 percent.
FLOOR SLABS
The surface soils are non-plastic with low expansion potential.
Where concrete slabs on grade are utilized, the slab shall be supported on at least 1 foot of
engineered fill compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Slabs should be at
least 4 inches thick and reinforced with a minimum of no. 3 bars 24 inches on center both ways.
The soil should be kept moist prior to casting the slab. However, if the soils at grade become
disturbed during construction, they should be brought to approximately optimum moisture content
and rolled to a firm, unyielding condition prior to placing concrete.
In areas where a moisture sensitive floor covering will be used, a vapor barrier consisting of a
plastic film (6 ml polyvinyl chloride or equivalent) should be used. The vapor barrier should be
properiy lapped and sealed. Since the vapor barrier will prevent moisttire from draining from fresh
concrete, a better concrete finish can usually be obtained if at least 2 inches of wet sand is spread
over the vapor barrier prior to placement of concrete.
UTILITY LINE BACKFILLS
All utility line backfills, both interior and exterior, shall be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent
relative compaction and shall require testing at a maximum of 2-foot vertical uitervals.

HARDSCAPE AND SLABS
Hardscape and slab subgrade areas shall exhibit a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction to a
depth of at least 1 foot. Deeper removal and recompaction may be required if unacceptable
conditions are encountered. These areas require testing just prior to placing concrete.
STORMWATER INFILTRATION TEST RESULTS
Two 3 foot deep Hand Dug test pits were excavated in the central driveway portion ofthe site on
April 20, 2010. The diameter of the test hole was 6-inches.
The lower depth ofthe pit exposed a natural soil layer of loose medium grained brown Silty SAND
that is typical of the underlying soils. The bottom of the test pit was saturated and tested the
following morning. The percolation test was performed by siphoning a 5-gallon water bottle into
the hand-dug hole. The water level was kept at 5 to 6 mches in depth for a period of four hours. At
the end of four hours, the time for the water to drop from the 6"^ to the 5* inch was measured. This
value was 15 minutes for both holes. This corresponds to a percolation rate of 15 gallons per
square foot of sidewall soil per day.
The percolation rate can be expected to perform at the tested rate over a short period of time with
clean water flowing into undisttirbed soil. A high factor of safety should be used for longer-term
use with unfiltered water. The percolation rate can be expected to increase at a power of 1.5 with
respect to head increase.
DRAINAGE
Positive drainage should be planned for the site. Minimum drainage should be 2 percent for
landscape areas and 1 percent for hardscape. Drainage should be directed away from structures via
non-erodible conduits to suitable disposal areas. The structtire should utilize roof gutters and down
spouts tied directly to yard drainage.
Unlined flowerbeds, planters, and lawns should not be constructed against the perimeter of the
structure. If such landscaping (against the perimeter of a structure) is planned, it should be
properly drained and lined or provided with an underground moisture barrier. Irrigation should be
kept to a minimum.
This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner, or of his
representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein are called to
the attention ofthe engineers for the project and incorporated into the plans and that the necessary
steps are taken to see that the Contractors and Subcontractors carry out such recommendations in
the field.

ENGINEERING CONSULTATION, TESTING & OBSERVATION
We will be pleased to provide additional input with respect to foundation design once methods of
construction and/or nattire of imported soil has been determined.
Grading and foundation plans should be reviewed by this office prior to commencement of grading
so that appropriate recommendations, if needed, can be made.
Areas to receive fill should be inspected when unsuitable materials have been removed and prior to
placement of fill, and fill should be observed and tested for compaction as it is placed.
AGENCY REVIEW
All soil geologic and sfructtiral aspects ofthe proposed development are subject to the review and
approval of the governing agency(s). It should be recognized that the governing agency (s) can
dictate the manner in which the project proceeds. They could approve or deny any aspect of the
proposed improvements and/or could dictate which foundation and grading options are acceptable.
Supplemental geotechnical consulting in response to agency requests for additional information
could be required and will be charged on a time and materials basis.
LIMITATIONS
This report presents recommendations pertaining to the subject site based on the assumption that
the subsurface conditions do not deviate appreciably from those disclosed by our exploratory
excavations. Our recommendations are based on the technical information, our understanding of
the proposed constrtiction, and our experience in the geotechnical field. We do not guarantee the
performance ofthe project, only that our engineering work and judgments meet the standard of care
of our profession at this time.
In view ofthe general conditions in tiie area, the possibility of different local soil conditions may
exist Aay deviation or unexpected condition observed during constiuction should be brought to
the attention ofthe Geotechnical Engineer. In tiiis way, any supplemental recommendations can be
made with a minimum of delay necessary to the project.
If the proposed construction will differ from our present understanding ofthe project, the existing
information and possibly new factors may have to be evaluated. Any design changes and the
finished plans should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Consultant. Of particular importance would
be extending development to new areas, changes in strticttiral loading conditions, postponed
development for more than a year, or changes in ownership.

APPENDIX A
This appendix contains a description of the field investigation, laboratory testing procedures and
results, site plan, and exploratory logs.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on February 26, 2010, consisting of the excavation of four
exploratory trenches at locations shown on the attached Site Plan, Plate 2. As excavation
progressed, personnel from tiiis office visually classified the soils encountered, and secured
representative samples for laboratory testing.
Sample Retrieval- Backhoe
Undisturbed samples of earth materials were obtained at frequent intervals by driving a thin-
walled steel sampler by the hydraulic action ofthe backhoe bucket. The material was retained in
brass rings of 2.41 inches inside diameter and 1.00 inch height. The central portion ofthe sample
was in close-fitting, watertight contamers for transportation to the laboratory.
Descriptions of the soils encountered are presented on tiie attached boring Logs. The data
presented on tiiese logs is a simplification of actual subsurface conditions encountered and applies
only at the specific boring location and the date excavated. It is not warranted to be representative
of subsurface conditions at other locations and times.
Laboratory Testing
Field samples were examined in the laboratory and a testing program was then established to
develop data for preliminary evaluation of geotechnical conditions.
Moisture Density
Field moisture content and dry density were determined for each ofthe undisturbed soil samples.
The dry density was determined in pounds per cubic foot. The moisture content was determined as
a percentage ofthe dry soil weight. The results of tiie tests are shown in tiie test results section of
this appendix.
Compaction Character
Compaction tests were performed on bulk sample of tiie existing soil in accordance with ASTM
DI 557-07. The results ofthe tests are shown in tiie test results section of tiiis appendix.
Shear Strength
The ultimate shear strengths ofthe soil, remolded soil, highly weatiiered bedrock and bedrock was
determined by performing direct shear tests. The tests were performed in a strain-controlled
STRATA-TECH, INC
GEOCON U U T A N T S
machine manufactured by GeoMatic. The rate of deformation was 0.005 inches per minute.
Samples were sheared imder varying confining pressure, as shown on the "Shear Test Diagrams".
The samples indicated as saturated were artificially saturated in the laboratory and were shear
under submerged conditions. The results of tests are based on 80 percent peak sttength or ultimate
strength, whichever is lower, and are attached. In addition, a shear was performed on an upper
layer sample remolded to 90-percent of the laboratory standard with low confining pressure.

Site Description
The proposed project is located in the City of Carlsbad on the south side of Tamarack Avenue, at 391
Tamarack Avenue on a 0.70 acre site.
The proposed project is a 12-unit airspace condominium project.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the total runoff generated for a storm of six (6) hour duration
for one hundred (100) year frequency and design an infiltration system to store the increase in volume
of runoff between the pre and post runoff condition. For overflow conditions a 12-inch diameter PVC
pipe has been installed, this overflow pipe connects to an existing catch basin located along the
southerly curb of Tamarack Avenue.
Section 1.0 100 Year Hydrology Calculations
1.1 Rainfall
The 100 year 6 hr rainfall depth was taken
from the San Diego County Hydrology Manual
isopluvial maps. Figure 1 below is an enlarged
copy of the applicable section of the map.
1.1.1
1.1.2
Existing Condition Rainfall
Rainfall for the existing condition was
taken from the Manual.
Proposed Condition Rainfall
The total 100 year storm depth for the
proposed condition was calculated by
subtracting the Water Quality Depth (see
below) from the 100 year storm total total
from the Manual.

1.2 Soil Type
The hydrologic soil type for the area of the proposed tract is listed as "B" in the Manual Appendix A.
Runoff Coefficients
Runoff coefficients for the pre and post project
condition were taken from Table 3-1 ofthe
Hydrology Manual. (See attached table 3-1.)
1.3 Time of Concentration (Tc)
1.3.1 Existing Condition Tc
The lot currently drains, via overland flow,
to the northwest with an average slope of
2%. The iniital time of concentration (Ti)
was estimated using Table 3-2 of the
Hydrology Manual (See attached Table 3-2).
CARLSBAD
Figure 2 Soil Type The Tt for the rest of the flow distance
was estimated Manning's equation
assuming a broad open swale with a 20:1 side slope to calculate the flow velocity. See the
attached hydraulic calculations for the swale travel time.
1.3.2 Proposed Condition Tc
In the proposed condition the lots drain to a paver swal in the center of the tract wnich conveys
the flows to the north east corner of the lot. The flows then enter a storm drain pipe and are
conveyed to the existing inlet in Tamarack Avenue. The initial Ti was estimated using Table 3-2
ofthe Hydrology Manual. The velocity in the swale was estimated using Manning's equation
and the velocity in the pipe was calculated using V = Q/A and assuming the pipe will be flowing
full.
Section 2.0 Storm Water Quality Calculations
2.1 Rainfall
The storm water quality treatment
volume was taken from the Manual
Appendix E. Figure 3 is an enlarged
copy ofthe applicable section of
the map.
2.2 Storage
The required storage was
calculated using the pre and post
project runoff coefficients from the
Manual and determining the
incremental increase in the storm
water yeild for the water quality
depth. The size of the paver area
and the depth of the gravel
subbase were set so that the entire incremetal increase in the storm water quality runoff could be
stored in the gravel subbase. (See the attached storm water quality calculations)
2.3 Infiltration
The geotechnical evaluation ofthe site yielded a percolation rate of 15 gallons per day per square foot
or 2.003 cubic feet per day per square foot. The required infiltration time was calculated by dividing the
required storage by the area of the paver swale and the rate of percolation for the geotechnical analysis.
See the attached calculations for the results of the analysis.

UNI ECO-STONE® FAMILY OF
PERMEABLE PAVERS
UNI-GROUP U.S.A. first brought UNI Eco-Stone® to North America in 1989,
well before permeable Interlocking concrete pavers became popular As
leaders in the Industry, we recognized the possibilities and environmental
benefits of being able to Infiltrate water through the pavement surface into
the ground below.
With the advent ofthe Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) mandate to
control stormwater runoff through it's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) in the early 90's, the path was paved for the
growth of permeable pavements. The EPA is now working in conjunction with
other agencies and organizations such as the Low Impact Development
Center, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Center fbr Watershed
Protection to promote the use of low impact development (LID) and LEED
and Smart Growth as a way to manage runoff. The EPA plans to establish
ordinances to move the program in the direction of preferred design and best
management practices. Infiltration practices have emerged as a major focus
of these agencies and Eco-Stone® permeable interlocking concrete
pavements utilize infiltration to control stormwater runoff. Click here for a list
of federal, state and municipal approvals of permeable pavements and Eco-
Stone®.
FEATURES & BENEFITS OF ECO-STONE® PERMEABLE
INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVERS
• Can be designed to accommodate a wide variety of stormwater
management objectives
• Runoff reductions of up to 100% depending on project design
parameters
• Maximizes groundwater recharge and/or storage
• Allows for retention and storage of stormwater for possible re-use for
irrigation or other non-potable uses
• Reduces nonpoint source pollutants in stormwater, thereby mitigating
impact on surrounding surface waters, and may lessen or eliminate
downstream fiooding and stream bank erosion
• Minimizes impacts and stress on existing storm sewer systems
through reduced peak discharges
• Allows better land-used planning and more efficient use of available
land for greater economic value, especially in high-density, urban
areas
• May decrease projects cost by reducing or eliminating drainage and
retention/detention systems
• May reduce cost of compliance with stormwater regulatory
requirements and lower utility fees
• May reduce heat island effect and themnal loading on surround
surface waters

Nutrient Separating Baffle BOXTM
Because the entire flow Is always
treated and head loss is so
minimal, determining the
appropriate size of the Nutrient
Separating Baffle BOXTM for a
project Is more often an element of
pipe size than flow rate.
Listed below are common sizes.
Custom Sizes are available.
*Height can vary as needed so that
the top of the vault is either at
finish grade or close to finish grade
for access and servicing.

For The Nutrient Separating Baffle Box Model - Stormwater Treatment Svstam
1. The stormwater treatment system shall be capable of inline installation with minimal head loss. Offline installation is not on acceptable
oleternotive unless orgmally deisigned by the engineer. Treatment of gross solids must occur at flow rates higher than the specified
treatment flow. The stormwater treatment system must provide treatment at all flow rotes.
2. For flows of 74.67 gpm per square foot of settling chamber area a removal efficiency of at least 90X for TSS will be achieved and
flows of up to 124.44 gpm per square foot of seelting chamber area will be able to pass through the stormwater treatment system for
treatment without causing scouring. This must be proven though full scole testing.
J. The stormwater treatment system will be able to store captured solid debris such as leaves ond litter in a dry stote within the nutrient
separating screen sysetm between rain events. The volume of dry storage will be equal or greater than that specificed on the drawing.
Jiment°'^""^°*^^ 'reofmeni system will have the capacity to store equal to or greater than that specified on the drawing for captured 4
sediment.
5. The stormwater treatment system will hove a skimmer located in front of the outflow opening. The bottom of the skimmer will be
located 6 below the static water leveL Adjacent to the influent side of the skimmer is a cage containing many hydrocarbon absorption
booms that will float at the top surface of the water in the stonnwater treatment structure. This ensures absorption of hydrocarbons
though a wide range of operating flows.
6. The nutrient separating screen system shall be positioned approximately 3.5' above the static water level within the baffle box
Adjacent to the inflow, the screen system will hove openings on both sides that have a combined cross sectional area that exceeds the
cross sectional area of the pipe. These openings will act as an intemal bypass for water flow in the event that the screen system
becomes full of debris. '
7. The nutrient separating screen system shall have a minimum of 6' of vertical adjustment. The adjustment method shall be a system
with brackets that are oHached to the sides of the screen system that will slide vertically along 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' aluminum square poles
Iwo stainless steel bolts on each bracket can be tightened to lock the screen system in place, or loosened to allow for vertical
adjustment of the screen system. The square poles are anchored to the baffle wall by 1/2' minimum diameter stainless steel bolts.
8. The nutrient separating screen system shall hove a minimum of 3" of horizontal adjustment in the direction of the length of the concrete structure. The brockets that clamp the vertical adjustment poles to the side of the scrven system can be repositioned to allow
of horizontal adjustment.
9. The nutrient separating screen system shall have a section adjacent to the inflow which is hinged and can be opened for cleaning
This section will function as a screened ramp to direct debris into the main body of the screened system. The sides of this section will
be made of stainless steel screen and transition in vertical height from a minimum of 8' tall nearest the inflow to the height of the
mom body of the screen system. The lower sides along this inflow section will provide bypass for water flow around the main body of
the screen system if necessary. The cross sectional area of the bypass around the screen system will be equal to or exceed the cross
actional area of the inflow pipe.
l^Z nofne/7< separating screen system shall give access from above grade to the lower sediment collection chambers by the following
methoa. Ihe bottom of the screen system will contain hinged screened doors that can be opened in such a way as to altow adequate
access for a vacuum truck to remove everything in all ihe lower collection chambers.
11. The nutrient separating screen will be a welded aluminum framework spanned by stainless steel screen, be rectangular in shape and
be formed to make a bottom, 2 long sides, and 1 end ; the top and 1 end will remain open. The screen system will consist of panel
sections that are held together with stainless steel bolts. When the panel sections are unbolted and separated from each other they
must be able to pass through an access hatch or manhole in the top of the baffle box for removal purposes. The aluminum frorne
worit. will be made 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' x X" aluminum angle beam. The screen used to span the aluminum frame is described as follows-
For the body of the screen system, flattened expanded stainless steel sheet 1/2' No. 16 F: Open area = 60X; Grade = 304 Stainless
SteeL The screen will be attached to the screen system frame by sandwiching the screen to the aluminum frame between a series of 1"
X 3/16 aluminum bars and welded in place.
12. A turbulence deflector will be attached near the top of each of the baffles with }i" stainless steel through bolts and stainless steel
fender washers. The turbulence deflectors will be made from laminated fiberglass and measure a minimum of 1/4' in thickness The
turbulence deflectors will form a horizontal ledge that measures 8" from the downstream side of the first baffle and 6' from the
downstream side of the second baffle, and span the full width of the baffle box.
13. The stormwater treatment system will be precast concrete. The concrete will be 28 day compressive strength fc = 5,000 psi Steel
reinforcing will be ASTM A - 675 Grade 60. Structure will support an H20 loading as indicated by AASHTO. The joint between the
concrete sections will ship lap and the joint sealed with Ram-Nek or equal butyl rubber joint sealant.
14. For access into the stormwater treatment system, two to three holes will be cast into the top of the vault.
15 The inflow and outflow pipes will not intrude beyond flush with the inside surface of the Nutrient Separating Baffle Box The space
between the pipe holes in the ends of the stormwater treatment system and the outside surface of the pipe will be filled with non-shrink
grout to form a water proof seal.
16. The nutrient separating screen system shall extended more than half way of the internal lenght of the stormwater treatment system
The nutrient separating screen system shall start at the inflow pipe not more than 4' from the wall of the inflow pipe.
17. The stormwater treatment system must have two separate reports verifying no scouring occurs at flows equal to or greater than the
specified treatment flow rote for that particle size distribution. »
18. The stormwater treatment system shall have a shallow sump, not more than 48" from invert of outflow pipe to bottom floor of the sump area.
stormwater treatment system must have a miniumium of two sediment chambers (sump areas) which are separated by a vertical
wier that divides the chamber from the bottom of the sump to the invert of the outflow pipe. No openings are allowed ot the bottom or
coming up vertically along the wier Or any other method that would connect the two chambers together such as orfices
