Submit an amendment to the SWQMP to address the additional runoff from the proposed addition and design water quality treatment per the Carlsbad BMP Design Manual. Plot proposed water quality basin and provide detail of the basin. 11. Grading, including disturbance, should be less than an acre which would prompt a Tier 2 SWPPP to be included with the grading plan. Tier 2 SWPPPs are now full-size she~ts as part of the grading plan set. Completing Form E-32 with your application will verify the type of SWPPP required. 12. A grading permit will be required. The grading plan may be submitted as a new plan or a revision to the existing grading plan (DWG 484-lA). If the existing grading plan is revised, the application will still be submitted using the grading plan check submittal checklist and the fees will be based on a grading plan check, not based on a construction change application. Enclosed is a marked checklist of the items that will be needed with your application. 13. A conventional slab on grade is proposed per the floor plan. Show proposed grading of the slope to establish the pad for the foundation. Plot pad drainage including any yard drains and points of discharge. If a raised floor is proposed instead as we discussed in our meeting, then show proposed raised floor and support columns on the plans including the sectional views. Also, although not shown, if an extension to the driveway is later integrated with the new addition, plot proposed driveway and grading for the driveway. Plot proposed grading for the required water quality basin. Include total grading quantities, including any remedial work underneath the building footprint. 14. Third party review of the soils report will be required along with fees for said review as noted on the enclosed checklist.
