of 500,000 g-p-d-/a.d.d.w.f. of reclaimed water-
disposal is an essential element of a progrant to attain a permit
to operate the system. This essential element of the program
is not included as part of "the Project" because LA COSTA and DISTRICT

SUBJECT: SEWER AVAILABILITY FOR THE MEADOWBROOK AREA

The Planning Commission recomnended approval of a change of zone from P-C to RDM-Q and amendment of the La Costa Master Plan deleting 134 acres in the Meadowbrook area at its November 14, 1979 meeting. subject property is located in Northeast La Costa. The
Sewer service is not available for this development at the present time. Sewer will be provided by the San Marcos County Water District through the expansion and reactivation of their existing sewage treatment facility at the head of San Marcos Canyon. The City Council has previously directed
the processing of applications for the area to be served by the proposed
reactivated plant upon guarantee by the SMCWD that sewer will be available.
On November 6, 1979, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 9539 which
a1 lows the processing of developmental approvals subject to certain condi-
tions.
applicant submits a letter from the sewer district indicating that sewer
service will be available to serve the development and that the City Council
finds that it is reasonable to expect that sewer service will be available to serve the development concurrent with need.
Such applications may be accepted and processed providing the
In order to make the finding that sewer service will be available for the
Meadowbrook area concurrent with need, the City Council should consider the
"Agreement for Design and Construction of Reclamation Facilities between
La Costa Land Company and SMCWD," and a letter from the SMCWD of August 17, 1979 indicating condi ti onal sewer avai 1 abi 1 i ty for the Meadowbrook area.
The agreement for the "Design and Construction" includes the following provisions:
1. La Costa will provide for the renovation and upgrading of the existing San Marcos Sewage Treatment Plant to achieve a capacity of 600,000 gallons of sewage a day.
La Costa will design and construct a water reclamation storage reservoir with a minimum storage capacity of 54 million gallons. 2.
3. La Costa will provide facilities in conjunction with the reservoir for disposal of 500,000 gpd of reclaimed water.
4. SMCWD will reserve for the sole and exclusive use of La Costa

The capacity

5. Until all the proposed facilities are complete and accepted by the district, La Costa shall be entitled to service on a
prorated portion of the 200,000 gpd.
6. The district has agreed to issue, at La Costa's request, conditional "will-serve" letters or verification of the
availability of service up to a total of 200,000 gpd of capacity as may be required by the City of Carlsbad, the City of San Marcos or the County of San Diego.
The City has assurance from the SMCWD that capacity will be available for the La Costa Northeast Development, if the proposed treatment and disposal project is completed and certified.
Essentially, the City Council has the same assurance that the San Marcos
County Water District facility will actually be completed and certified
for treatment and disposal of 500,000 gpd as it does for the Lake Calavera
Hills Treatment Plant's 1.2 million gallons per day.
The most significant issue for both projects is the disposal of the treated effluent.

may be used for effluent disposal by spray irrigation.
Additionally, open space areas
Mike McCann, Senior Engineer, at the Regional Water Quality Control Board,
indicates that the SMCWD Wastewater Reclamation Project received wastewater
discharge requirements on March 26, 1979. These requirements are for land
disposal and include a determination by the Regional Board that the land
disposal will not endanger a beneficial use and that there are adequate dis- posal methods. The District must still receive Regional Board certification to operate the facilities once they are constructed and meet strict Health Department Requirements. In other words, for the plant to be certified for a given capacity, the La Costa Land Coppany and the San Marcos County Water District must have a sufficient acreage of acceptable land set aside for irrigation disposal of the rated volume of effluent whether or not the land is ever used for such a purpose. insure that, as we approve subsequent developments in the affected area, we
give sufficient consideration to the balance of effective landscaping irrigation use in the new development and retention of sufficient acreage
in the disposal area. The capacity of the two uses must always equal the rated capacity of the plant.
This makes it incumbent upon the City to
