RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt City Council Resolution No. ff8'-)£f. APPROVING the agreement
with the City of Los Angeles to reimburse Carlsbad for all
expenses related to the preparation of the Batiquitos EIR/EIS.
Adopt City Council Resolution No. ^-I3C\. APPROVING a consultant
agreement for the preparation of the EIR/EIS for the Batiquitos
Lagoon Enhancement Project.
ITEM EXPLANATION
In 1986 the City solicited proposals for the preliminary
engineering design and for the preparation of the required
environmental review. Nine proposals were submitted by
consultant teams. The consultant team headed by the firm CH2M
Hill was selected on the basis of the most qualified response to
the City's Request for Proposals.
Before an agreement was entered into between the consultant and
the City, it was decided that the preliminary engineering and the
environmental review should be separated into two separate
phases. This was done for two reasons. First, the Port of Los
Angeles (POLA) which was funding the project wanted to know
whether the project was feasible before it agreed to funding the
environmental review. Second, since the preliminary engineering
design would ultimately determine the project description and the
scope of the environmental review, it would be better to prepare
the environmental documents after the preliminary engineering was
complete.
In April, 1987, Council approved the agreement with CH2M Hill to
prepare the preliminary engineering. The preliminary engineering
phase has been completed and it has shown the enhancement project
to be both technically and economically feasible. On April 13,
1988, POLA is expected to elect to proceed with the project and
approve a reimbursement agreement with Carlsbad to fund the
environmental review phase of the project.
The environment review phase will require compliance with both
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) . Carlsbad will act as the lead
agency in the preparation of an EIR under CEQA. The Army Corp of
Engineers (COE) will be the lead agency in the preparation of the
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under NEPA. The City and
Page 2 of Agenda ill No.
COD have agreed to the preparation of a combined EIR/EIS . COE
will be involved in the management of the EIS and will be
responsible for its preparation in compliance with NEPA.
Carlsbad's Planning Department will be responsible for both
compliance with CEQA and overall project management.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the preparation of the environmental documents by
CH2M Hill is $563,901.00. In addition, Carlsbad anticipates that
related professional consulting services beyond the scope of CH2M
Hill's work program will be required to complete the enhancement
project. Examples of these services include preliminary title
searches, right-of-way acquisition and appraisal services and
miscellaneous consultant assistance for EIR/EIS technical review.
Council at this time is only being asked to consider the
Reimbursement Agreement and the agreement with CH2M Hill. The
agreements for related professional services will come before
Council as the services are needed in the future. The costs of
the preparation of the environmental documents and the related
professional services will be paid by the City of Los Angeles
through the Reimbursement Agreement which is part of the subject
of this Agenda Bill.
The Agreement will also reimburse Carlsbad for administrative
costs not to exceed $51,700.00. The Reimbursement Agreement
includes a ten percent (10%) contingency for the CH2M Hill
Agreement and twenty-five percent (25%) contingencies for each of
the additional services including Carlsbad administrative
services. The total not-to-exceed reimbursement figure is
$828,666.00.

DRAFT FINAL REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OVERALL STUDY OBJECTIVES
The Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Project Preliminary Design
Report represents a detailed engineering study and analysis
to evaluate the feasibility of the engineering aspects and
associated costs of the enhancement project. The enhance-
ment project endeavors to fulfill the goals set forth in the
California Coastal Conservancy Draft Batiquitos Lagoon
Enhancement Plan: to restore tidal flushing by creating
adequate tidal prism while conserving and enhancing existing
wildlife habitat values and establishing new habitats. The
draft enhancement plan was developed over a period of more
than 2 years through a public process involving state,
federal/ and local public agencies; property owners; envi-
ronmental and citizen groups; and interested individuals.
This report reviews the methodology and findings of the
following:
o Existing lagoon sediment characteristics,
qualities, and quantities
o Volume of dredged/excavated material by type and
location for three enhancement alternatives
o Excavated/dredged material disposal methods
o Excavated/dredged material disposal sites
o Excavation/dredging depths and boundaries
(detailed grading plans) for three alternatives
o Tidal inlet design recommendation
o Beach nourishment design recommendation
o Hydraulic modeling (circulation and flushing) and
water quality analysis within the lagoon for
three alternatives
o Lagoon sedimentation (SED-4 modeling results)
o Sediment control management plan
o Existing bridges relative to the lagoon enhance-
ment project and methods for their protection
DDH1/007
o Avifaunal surveys to date
o Engineering cost estimates of project components
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
LAGOON SEDIMENTS
The sediments proposed to be removed from the lagoon are not
hazardous, containing trace or lesser amounts of pollutants,
and are well below threshold limit concentrations as defined
by the California Administrative Code, Title 22. Therefore,
the sediments may be disposed of by conventional land dis-
posal methods.
Sediments in the western half of the lagoon are composed
predominantly of sands and are suitable for beach-front dis-
posal, beach nourishment, and least tern nesting areas_.
Sediments in the eastern half of the lagoon consist of
elastic silts, fat clays, and sands. These sediments can be
used as an impermeable capping or lining material, a non-
structural fill, or, if mixed properly with other material,
as structural fill.
DREDGING/EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL CONCEPTS
The three enhancement alternatives require differing amounts
of soil removal, as follows:
o Alternative A: 3,096,000 yd3
o Alternative B: 2,632,000 yd3
o Alternative C: 2,347,000 yd3
Approximately 380,000 yd3 of the above quantities will be
used as fill material within the lagoon boundaries to form
least tern nesting sites and a freshwater marsh.
The sand in the west and central basins is relatively easy
to dispose of because it can be placed on adjacent and near
beaches as nourishment. The material comprising most of the
east basin is more difficult to dispose of because of its
wet cohesive consistency, which creates transport and place-
ment problems.
The recommended dredging and disposal scheme is to remove an
additional depth of sand in the central lagoon, thereby
creating a "pit" that can accommodate the material from the
east lagoon. A sand cap will then be placed over the
relocated material. This method requires moving additional
quantities of material locally, using efficient hydraulic
dredge equipment. Even though this recommendation requires
the dredging of nearly 2 million additional cubic yards for
DDH1/007
Alternative A (over the quantity shown above), the estimated
cost is lower than the most economical land disposal option.
This is an efficient construction technique for in-lagoon
sediment disposal that will not alter predicted habitats of
the final enhancement project. In addition, it creates more
beach nourishment material, reduces the total project con-
struction time, and reduces offsite project impacts.
As an option to the recommendation discussed above, the most
preferred dry land disposal of the east basin material is in
the Green Valley area just south of the eastern end of the
lagoon. Even though the material would be placed on dry
.land, hydraulic dredging would be most attractive and cost-
effective because the material could be easily conveyed the
relatively short distance required of dredge pipe. If a
disposal site is selected more than 3 miles away, soil
removal in the east basin would best be handled using con-
ventional grading equipment. The east basin could be diked
off and dried, and San Marcos and Encinitas Creeks tempora-
rily rerouted. The material would be hauled to a disposal
site by truck.
The nesting season of the California least tern was taken
into account when determining the construction schedule to
minimize effects to the bird's nesting and foraging habitats.
Maintenance dredging will be required periodically. For
Alternative A, approximately 25,000 yd3 of material could
accumulate in the western portion of the lagoon each year
from marine sources. Alternative B could accumulate
17,000 yd3, and Alternative C could accumulate 13,000 yd3.
In addition, it is estimated that 3,500 yd3 of sediment will
be caught in the east basin sediment trap. This study
contains a maintenance program to ensure that the cumulative
effects of sedimentation will not affect the long-term
viability of the enhancement project.
TIDAL INLET
A comprehensive study has been made of various alternatives
for a tidal inlet design. Particular attention has been
given to the following:
o History of Batiquitos Lagoon and the surrounding
area
o Longshore sediment transport
o Characteristics of other Southern California
coastal inlets
DDH1/007
o Function and purpose of the inlet
o Constructibility
o Maintenance
With respect to all these considerations, the preferred
concept is a small armored channel configuration. The
design emphasizes short, low profile jetties with the
objective of nominal disruption to the longshore sediment
transport.
BEACH NOURISHMENT CONCEPT
The beach nourishment operations are proposed to take
advantage of a large amount of sandy material greater than
0.15 mm in median diameter available from the recommended
planned dredging in the lagoon. Considering the recommended
central basin disposal pit scheme, approximate total amounts
of the sand in the beach nourishment size range are
3,180,000 yd3 under Alternative A, 2,600,000 yd3 for
Alternative B, and 2,450,000 yd3 under Alternative C.
Although some amounts of this sand will be used for
construction of the least tern nesting sites, most is
available for beach nourishment. As much as 60 percent of
this material is finer than 0.20 mm and is subject to easy
washout by wave action. Selection of nourishment sites was
made where the presence of cobbles and reduced wave energy
(caused by wave divergence) will make this material useful
for beach nourishment.
Two specific areas have been evaluated for beach nourish-
ment: a 3,000-foot shoreline segment near Batiquitos Lagoon,
and a 5,700- to 6,500-foot shoreline segment at the Encinas
Creek outlet. Both of these sites provide excellent beach
access and have provisions for a sizable public parking
facility. The Batiquitos site is limited in size and can
only accept about 114,000 yd3. The material would be placed
on the surface of a regraded cobble berm to improve the
amount of time it would remain at the site. A useful period
at this site could be 3 years, although a variation from
normal ocean conditions could cause substantial variations
in duration, either shorter or longer. It should be noted
that the proposed maintenance dredging of the inlet area
would replenish the Batiquitos site on a continual basis.
The natural loss of material from this beach will benefit
the downcoast shoreline for a distance of approximately
2 miles, including Leucadia and the northern reach of
Encinitas.
DDH1/007
At the Encinas Creek site, sand placement totaling as much
as 2.1 to 3.1 million yd3 will push the shoreline seaward -
485 to 640 feet. The length of time that nourished sand
remains at this beach is variable. One possible scenario
could be:
1. Half the width of beach would disappear under a
severe low frequency occurring storm.
2. Sand would remain for approximately 15 years under
average weather conditions.
3. Longer residency would be obtained if nourished
periodically with maintenance dredging, or if
unusually calm weather prevails.
The beach fill at the Encinas Creek site will serve as a
major source of littoral sediment for the shoreline at South
Carlsbad State Beach.
HYDRAULIC MODELING AND WATER QUALITY EVALUATION
Current meters and tide gauges were placed at strategic
locations inside Batiquitos Lagoon prior to removal of the
natural cobble bar at the mouth of the lagoon in May 1987.
Current and tide information obtained from these instru-
ments, combined with profile mapping of the ocean bottom
conditions, enabled the calibration of hydrodynamic (cir-
culation and flushing) and water quality models comparable
to actual conditions.
The models show the alternatives are capable of achieving
85 to 90 percent of the potential tidal prism, indicating
the design of the entrance channel is effective in allowing
continuous tidal exchange. This estimate is consistent with
previous tidal prism estimates including that computed by
the Coastal Conservancy.
The tidal prisms of the three alternatives fall into the
range of 2.1 to 2.6 million yd*. This volume of water
amounts to more than 50 percent of the total volume of water
in the lagoon (at +5.0 feet mllw) for any of the three
dredging plans. This continual exchange of ocean water will
serve to reduce the potential impacts of long-term stagna-
tion, as now occurs.
The normal water quality of the lagoon should be similar to
the ocean throughout the year except during major storm
events, which would result in large volumes of fresh water
from the uplands. However, the time needed to return to
normal water quality would be relatively short throughout
the basin. The habitat for fish and other aquatic life
should be greatly improved over existing conditions
because of improved tidal circulation and water quality
DDH1/007
with more consistent levels of salinity, concentrations of
nutrients/ dissolved oxygen, and food chain organisms.
SEDIMENTATION AND SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT
Existing data indicate the inlet closure at Batiquitos
Lagoon was not a result of filling by upland sediments and
subsequent loss of effective tidal prism. Inlet closure
appears to be a result of bridge constrictions near the
mouth. The constrictions reduced the scouring ability of
the tidal flows leading to sedimentation and closure of the
inlet. When the inlet is closed, fine sediments that may
normally move through the lagoon (to the sea) are instead
trapped in it.
Previous estimates of upland sediment delivery to the lagoon
appear to be significantly higher that what is expected in
the future. This result is due in part to overly conserva-
tive estimating techniques and in part to the decreasing
effects of development on sediment load.
The use of sediment traps as a management technique may not
be effective. Under low to moderate flood events, the
sediment loads may not be large enough to be of concern.
Under extreme flood events the sediment traps may be inef-
fective. Sediment basin placement must be considered in
relation to the potential for increasing flooding (San
Marcos Creek) and interference with naturally existing
sediment traps (Encinitas Creek). In both cases, there are
strong arguments for placing such structures lagoonward from
the bordering highways. For the small creeks entering the
lagoon, management of sediment and erosion at construction
sites should be sufficient. Construction of permanent sedi-
ment traps should be considered only if the sedimentation
problem clearly is not transient.
The most serious sedimentation problem is the transport of
sand through the inlet. Above mllw, the adjacent beach is
currently composed of cobbles. However, sufficient sand for
transport into the inlet appears to be present on the beach
below low water. Beach nourishment by the implementation of
the enhancement plan will also add to the supply. Two im-
portant consequences are evident: the inlet is the most
critical part of a lagoon enhancement design, and the inlet
will have to be armored on its sides.
EXISTING BRIDGES
Existing information has been obtained on all five of the
bridges crossing the lagoon. To accommodate the proposed
dredging, all of the bridges will require either a form of
structural modification or foundation protection. The western
portion of Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge may possibly require
DDH1/007
extensive footing modifications; however, that cannot be
determined until the water level in the lagoon subsides and
an investigation of the existing footings can be made.
AVIFAUNAL SURVEYS
Six avifaunal surveys have been completed to date. Addi-
tional surveys will be conducted to complete a 1-year sampling
period. Bird use fluctuates with seasonality, with waterfowl
populations remaining high through winter and shorebirds
decreasing after summer breeding. Water elevations also
affect bird usage, as shorebird use continues to decline
with high winter water levels (and inundation of habitat).
The California least tern (federally listed endangered species)
was noted during the breeding seasons and not observed during
the winter season (when the bird is typically in Central
America and Mexico). The state-designed endangered species,
Belding's savannah sparrow, was noted during all six surveys
but fluctuated significantly according to season.
Construction Costs and Schedule
Budget level construction cost estimates and an anticipated
construction schedule have been prepared.
The total project costs for the various alternatives are
summarized as follows:
Central Basin Disposal Green Valley Disposal
Alternative A $23,488,000 $34,848,000
Alternative B $20,465,000 $29,798,000
Alternative C $19,626,000 $26,119,000
The recommended central basin disposal construction scenario
will require a construction contract of 1-1/2 years. Ninety
percent of the entire project, including all dredging, will
take place in a 5-1/2 month period during the first fall and
winter season. The west and central basins will be complete
and tidally influenced after this period and the west basin
and Park and Ride least tern nesting sites will be finished.
The east basin will have been dredged, but finish grading
work will need to be done after the basin has had time to
dry out somewhat.
If the Green Valley or similar offsite disposal scenario is
used, the total construction time will remain at about
1-1/2 years. The lagoon west of 1-5 will still be complete
at 5-1/2 months, but the east lagoon dredging will be a
slower process, extending over the entire contract length.

SCOPE OF WORK FOR EIR/EIS
March 25, 1988
TASK 1—PROJECT MANAGEMENT
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to identify clear lines of
responsibility for project execution, to develop a detailed
workplan, and to establish regularly scheduled meetings for
project management purposes.
METHODOLOGY
Staffing and Organization
The overall project management team will include representa-
tives from the City of Carlsbad, the Port of Los Angeles, the
Army Corps of Engineers, and CH2M HILL.
CH2M HILL's project manager will be Daniel D. Heagerty. He
will be responsible for all aspects of the project and will
be the liaison with the Port of Los Angeles and the City of
Carlsbad. Leslie A. Howell, assistant project manager, will
function as project manager when Mr. Heagerty is not avail-
able and will assist Mr. Heagerty as needed. The director
of environmental studies will be Dr. Richard J. Mishaga. He
will be responsible for all technical tasks, interaction with
CH2M HILL specialists and subconsultants on technical issues,
and overall technical quality control. Subconsultants will
report directly to the CH2M HILL project manager. Mr. Heagerty
will take full responsibility for the project performance of
the consultant team. (See Figure 1, Organization Chart.)
Workplan
A detailed workplan will be prepared after the formal scop-
ing process has been completed. The workplan will include a
detailed project scope, critical path, and standard operat-
ing procedures for technical studies. All field work and
data analysis periods will be identified, as will document
review requirements and schedules.
If it becomes apparent during the progress of the work that
additional impacts and/or alternatives require analysis, or
that presently anticipated impacts require more or a different
type of analysis, the consultant will meet with the City and
POLA to discuss changes to the scope of work.
PD123.052
Project Instructions
Detailed project instructions will be prepared for all team
members, subconsultants, City, and POLA staff. These instruc-
tions will include:
o Project communications and procedures
o Billing requirements
o Documentation requirements (phone, meetings, etc.)
o Formats for reports
o Bibliography format
o Product outlines
Meetings
Regular project management meetings will be held with rep-
resentatives from the City, POLA, the Corps, and CH2M HILL.
At each of these meetings, the following items will be
reviewed:
o Project status and workplan review
o Project schedule, including needed adjustments
o Last 30 days of agency and public communications
o Issues of management concern
o Activities for next 30 days
CH2M HILL will be represented by Dan Heagerty at these meet-
ings. Other technical members of the consultant team will
attend on an as-needed basis as determined by the CH2M HILL
project manager. It is assumed that subconsultant project
managers will attend meetings at critical stages of the
project, at the discretion of the client. CH2M HILL will
prepare and distribute meeting notes following each meeting.
TASK 2—-PUBLIC MEETINGS
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of Task 2 is to hold meetings throughout the
EIR/EIS process in order to ensure project continuity and
maximize agency and public communications.
METHODOLOGY
Public Meetings
Local public workshop meetings will be held in Carlsbad approx-
imately every second month. These will be informational dis-
cussions with the local public and officials. These meetings
will not include formal presentations. The meetings can be
scheduled during daytime or nighttime hours. CH2M HILL will
be represented by Dan Heagerty, Leslie Howell, or Rick
PD123.052
Mishaga. If additional project team members are in the area
conducting field work, they will attend the meetings at the
discretion of the City. These could include LEAC or other
coastal cities meetings. These meetings will not include
formal presentations. Minutes will be taken and distributed
to the City, POLA, and Corps.
City Council/Planning Commission Meetings
A total of five formal presentations at public meetings will
be prepared and presented by the consultant team on project
status. One meeting each with the City Council and the
Planning Commission will be held to review the Draft EIR/EIS
document. One presentation each will be made to the Planning
Commission and the City Council on the Final EIR. A fifth
presentation meeting will be made at the discretion of the
City.
Up to four informal meetings will be held in adjacent commun-
ities to discuss littoral drift and related issues associated
with the Batiquitos project. These informal meetings will
be attended by appropriate consultant team member(s) to be
determined by the City.
Agency Meetings
The following agency meetings are planned at this time:
o A scoping meeting for the EIR/EIS to be convened
by the Corps
o Four agency review meetings
o Four U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
meetings regarding the Biological Assessment
These meetings will be attended by consultant team staff and
City/POLA/Corps representatives as may be appropriate.
California Coastal Commission
One Coastal Commission hearing will be attended for the
review and approval of the project. Project staff attendance
will be determined by the City but will not include more
than three members of the consultant team.
TASK 3—ENGINEERING STUDIES
The purpose of this task is to complete engineering and
environmental studies and analyses pertinent to the EIR/EIS.
These studies are briefly described below.
PD123.052
A. Water Quality Model for Alternative 3
A water quality model will be run for the "Intermittent
Alternative 3" (developed by the Conservancy) using method-
ologies developed for the water quality analysis for Alter-
natives A, B, and C in the Preliminary Design Engineering
Report. This study effort will provide necessary informa-
tion to be used in the EIR/EIS discussion of alternative
actions and their consequent water quality results.
B. Bridge Inspections
Bridge inspections will be undertaken of the West Carlsbad
Bridge footings to determine potential impacts to bridge
conditions from the enhancement project. Structural engi-
neering analyses will be undertaken and a Technical Memoran-
dum will be presented to the City and POLA.
C. Sediment Load Study
Each subbasin of the lagoon watershed will be mapped and
analyzed separately for erosion, subsequent upland deposi-
tion, and sediment delivery to the lagoon. This will be
done for a range of possible rainfall events. Since the
watershed and subbasins are quite small, the analysis will
be in fine detail to provide good results. This means not
only that the unit area considered must be quite small, but
also that the number of different erosion and transport con-
ditions are large.
This study will develop a detailed, fine-scale upland sedi-
ment budget. The intent is to determine if sediment traps
at the mouths of San Marcos and Encinitas Creeks are neces-
sary, or if cost and environmental impacts can be avoided by
not having them. The study would also address the neces-
sity (or lack thereof) for smaller sediment traps at sub-
basins within the watershed.
D. Littoral Drift Study
Tekmarine will undertake a study utilizing a mathematical
model to determine potential impacts to littoral drift
caused by the beach nourishment plans and the tidal inlet
structures. This study will be incorporated with the Corps
coastal studies on littoral drift.
E. Physical Environment
This study is optional at this time and will require author-
ization at a later time.
The study will involve development of exposure time curves
for the intertidal region on a frequency and duration basis

to assist in evaluating what species are to be expected at
what elevations. The development of seasonal and diurnal
variability in physical parameters under an entire range of
tidal conditions (as opposed to the synthetic diurnal tide
used to define the overall average conditions) will also be
undertaken. The response of the system to the entire range
of potential flood events will be described. Assessments of
dissolved oxygen and nutrient variability within the lagoon
will be developed. The work will concentrate on longitudi-
nal variability in space, with minimal consideration of
lateral variations. A calibrated kinematic model will be
used to answer a variety of "what if" questions.
This new and more detailed information on the proposed proj-
ect's physical environment will be used for the biological
predictions required for the fish and wildlife discussions
in the EIR/EIS.
F. Geotechnical Studies for Central Basin
This task would include drilling eight soil borings using
hollow-stem auger or rotary wash drilling techniques. The
borings will be advanced to depths of 30 feet. A CH2M HILL
geologist will visually characterize and log the samples at
5-foot centers. The laboratory work will include 16 grain
size analyses to further characterize the sediments. A
technical memorandum will be issued summarizing the results
of our investigation.
TASK 4—COLLECT AND REVIEW ENVIRONMENTAL DATA/REPORTS
AND PREPARE DESCRIPTIONS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of this task are to:
o Review the data base of available information
pertinent to the EIR/EIS efforts
o Prepare descriptions of existing conditions
Several aspects of the lagoon's physical and biological con-
ditions have been studied by a variety of agencies and con-
tractors. Additional data have been developed during the
ongoing engineering studies. This task will establish a
common level of knowledge and a data base upon which environ-
mental analysis can be based.
METHODOLOGY
Information will be summarized from all available sources of
published and unpublished data, including communications with
PD123.052
specialists and agency personnel. All data sources and com-
munications will be properly documented. Areas of particu-
lar environmental concern or special consideration as well as
criteria for engineering design of the enhancement project
will be described.
Existing data will be assembled consistent with CEQA/NEPA
requirements. All project team members will submit data
report summaries, descriptions of existing conditions, and
copies of all collected and field-generated data in a format
and at a time established in the workplan and in the project
instructions.
1. Existing air quality information will be collected
from available data and used in developing discus-
sions concerning air quality conditions. Noncompli-
ance conditions will be identified and described.
These discussions will be based upon existing
literature and interviews of regulatory personnel.
No field sampling or modeling will be done.
2. Both existing and historical physical and hydro-
logical conditions in the subtidal and intertidal
ecosystems of Batiquitos Lagoon and the immediate
offshore ocean systems will be described based upon
literature reviews and information developed in
the Preliminary Engineering Design Report (PEDR).
3. Existing water quality conditions in the lagoon and
adjacent marine areas will be described. Water
quality conditions for both freshwater and salt-
water aquatic habitats will be discussed. Physi-
cal environmental predictions derived from earlier
temperature/water quality modeling efforts will be
reviewed as a text discussion. Available data
from the Water Quality Control Board will also be
reviewed.
4. Dredged material disposal sites (onsite and off-
site) will be mapped, and the general physical and
biological characteristics of each site will be
described. State and federal environmental cri-
teria for disposal of dredged material will be
reviewed as they apply to the proposed disposal
sites.
5. Generalized regional (San Diego County) descrip-
tions of both terrestrial and aquatic biological
resources will be prepared. Terrestrial biologi-
cal descriptions will include existing upland and
wetland vegetation cover types and plant associ-
ations with terrestrial wildlife (i.e., verte-
brates) . This regional description will emphasize
PD123.052
those marine, estuarine, freshwater, and riparian
wetland ecosystems that occur in the Batiquitos
Lagoon ecosystem complex.
Regional descriptions of aquatic resources will
also include the existing marine ecosystems imme-
diately adjacent to the Batiquitos Lagoon area
from Oceanside to Encinitas, existing estuarine
and freshwater ecosystems within the Batiquitos
Lagoon system, and estuarine and freshwater eco-
systems typical of the region. Aquatic resources
will include all macrobiological ecosystem compo-
nents, such as fish, benthic organisms, plankton,
aquatic vegetation, etc.
6. Specific to the Batiquitos Lagoon project boundary,
a literature review will be undertaken regarding
existing saltmarsh and brackish marsh plant asso-
ciations and fish and wildlife habitats. Known
fish and wildlife uses and ecological relationships
will be discussed. This information will be sup-
plemented by field surveys to be undertaken in
Task 6.
7. Within the Batiquitos Lagoon project boundary,
literature regarding existing freshwater marsh and
riparian plant associations on Encinitas Creek and
San Marcos Creek will be reviewed. For freshwater
marsh and riparian systems, physical, ecological,
and hydrological conditions will be described based
upon the literature. Current environmental stresses
and fish and wildlife habitat limitations will be
reviewed. This information will be supplemented
by Task 6.
8. Descriptions of general ecological relationships,
status, potential habitats, and known and poten-
tial occurrences will be described and mapped based
upon the Biological Assessment to be prepared for
federal and state threatened and endangered wild-
life. Species of special concern whose habitat
distributions have included, now include, or will
include (after enhancement) the Batiquitos Lagoon
project area will also be reviewed. This discus-
sion will include the California least tern, the
least Bell's vireo, the California brown pelican,
and Belding's savannah sparrow.
9. Within the Batiquitos Lagoon project boundary,
existing fishery resources, habitats, and uses
will be described based on available literature,
unpublished data, and discussions with California
Department of Fish and Game (CDF&G), USFWS, and
PD123.052
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). No field
sampling will be undertaken for preparation of
existing conditions. As appropriate, evaluations
of the existing physical and hydrological conditions
and their fish and wildlife habitat values, devel-
oped in the earlier modified Habitat Evaluation
Procedures (HEP) analysis, will be summarized.
10. Land use, water use, and local planning objectives
of the City of Carlsbad will be discussed. Related
land use policies and ordinances will be reviewed.
County and state coastal plans will be reviewed as
they relate to Batiquitos Lagoon.
11. Socioeconomic conditions in the Carlsbad and north-
ern San Diego County area will be described. Local
economy, population, and demographics will be dis-
cussed based on existing, published information.
12. Existing traffic counts for roads and intersections
that may be impacted by the project will be devel-
oped using existing available information. Level
of service estimations will be made for those roads
that may be impacted by project construction alter-
natives. No actual counts, metering, or other
methods of baseline conditions will be undertaken.
13. Existing and planned public access, beach access,
and recreation areas at and adjacent to the lagoon
will be inventoried and described. Relationship
to other plans such as HPIs will be described.
Maps will be prepared and existing policies will
be described. City, county, and state goals for
access and recreation will be described.
14. Environmental and public safety criteria for the
lagoon's tidal opening will be included in the
discussions concerning tidal inlet design.
PRODUCT
The product of this task will be key subsections of a draft
chapter for the EIR/EIS that describe certain elements of the
environmental setting. These subsections will be incorpor-
ated with the subsections prepared in Task 15, Draft EIR/EIS
preparation.
PD123.052
TASK 5—ARCHAEOLOGY, PALEONTOLOGY,
AND CULTURAL RESOURCES STUDY
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to identify archaeological,
paleontological, and cultural resources that the project may
impact. Mitigation measures and potential restricted areas
will be identified, if necessary.
METHODOLOGY
This task includes a literature review and a limited number
of interviews by a qualified archaeologist with recognized
authorities and local residents familiar with the lagoon
setting. Consultation with the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) will be coordinated through the Corps and
documented. The subconsultant will meet with the Corps
archaeologist to review recent Corps work undertaken at or
near Batiquitos Lagoon.
Surface reconnaissance will be undertaken in all areas that
have not been previously surveyed if they are likely to be
disturbed during construction. The archaeological surface
reconnaissance will focus on the lagoon shoreline and sedi-
ment basin areas. Dredge disposal sites, potential vehicle
access locations, construction or disturbed areas, and areas
of potential disturbance will be investigated. Available
literature will be used to describe conditions along the
north shore public access trail. The paleontological sur-
face reconnaissance will occur only in the eastern end of
the lagoon where fossil-bearing strata exist. No subsurface
investigations will be performed under this scope of work.
Potential resource areas will be identified and mapped. If
appropriate, subsurface testing requirements will be
identified but not undertaken. Mitigation measures, if
necessary to offset potential impacts, will be described.
PRODUCT
A cultural resources report will be prepared for review by
the project management team. Review comments will be incor-
porated as appropriate and the report will be submitted by
the Corps to SHPO for review and comment. The report will
then be summarized for inclusion in the EIR/EIS. A SHPO
letter of review (if received) will be included in the EIR
appendix.
PD123.052
TASK 6—LAGOON BIRD AND VEGETATION ANALYSIS
FIELD DATA COLLECTION
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this task are to compile and analyze all
existing quantitative data on the abundance and diversity of
the avian community and its habitat utilization of Batiqui-
tos Lagoon, and to undertake focused bird surveys.
METHODOLOGY
Utilizing existing avifaunal census information, the number
of taxa (species richness), individuals (abundance), habitat
usage (open water, mudflats, riparian, etc.), and activities
(foraging, mating, nesting, resting) will be described. Bird
use will be described using statistical information developed
during the bird surveys completed in 1987-1988. Bird habitat
and usage will be mapped where possible. In coordination
with CDFG personnel and others if appropriate, two additional
avian field surveys will be done during spring and summer 1988
to search for species of special concern and to refine tech-
nical information developed in 1987.
Vegetation communities based on plant associations will be
mapped (tentative scale 1:4800). One spring field survey
will be conducted to field-verify information used in this
vegetation mapping effort. The amount of acreage in each
major vegetation community will be estimated. In addition,
ecological descriptions of plant associations will be devel-
oped, including qualitative estimates of cover, dominance,
etc. No field productivity studies will be undertaken and no
predictions of future vegetation productivity will be prepared,
PRODUCTS
A technical memorandum will be prepared that will include all
data collected during 1987 and 1988 surveys, and the CDFG
waterfowl data. The data will be analyzed and summarized,
and the results will be interpreted. The resulting data
base presented in the technical memorandum will be used in
the baseline/existing environment section of the EIR/EIS
and, if applicable, will be included in a technical
appendix. The baseline/existing environment section dealing
with the bird resources will be prepared as a quantitative
discussion with seasonal characterization of abundance,
usage, and species richness.
A vegetation map will be prepared for the EIR/EIS document,
and the plant species composition of each mapped community
will be described in an accompanying text.
PD123.052 10
TASK 7—WETLAND/RIPARIAN HABITAT REQUIREMENTS
AND EXISTING HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN
OBJECTIVE
The purposes of this task are: (1) to verify and develop
specific wetland and riparian habitat requirements to ensure
the attainment of the habitat value goals described in the
enhancement alternatives, and (2) to develop a conservation
plan for the existing habitats identified in the enhancement
alternatives for preservation.
METHODOLOGY
Based on previously developed descriptions of wetland and
riparian habitats and requirements, the four alternatives
will be evaluated concerning elevations, slopes, inundation
frequency and depth variation, soil characteristics, plant
communities, and possible planting needs. Environmental
criteria will be evaluated for habitat types, including
saltwater, brackish, and freshwater marshes, riparian hab-
itats, and endangered species habitats for each alternative.
Several specific habitats have been identified in the En-
hancement Plan as requiring protection in their existing
condition. In areas of possible construction activity, a
site visit will be conducted to delineate zone protection
for each habitat: for example, zones where no disturbance
can occur, zones where limited construction may occur with-
out jeopardy to the habitat or species users, and buffer
zones where temporary protection measures may be necessary
during construction. This visit will focus on the areas in
which construction is likely to occur close to the site or
during a season when certain species may be susceptible to
adverse impacts.
PRODUCT
A technical memorandum will be prepared that (1) describes
the design criteria for each wildlife habitat, and (2) iden-
tifies protection zones and practices for engineering and
construction. A map will be included for the lagoon showing
habitat protection areas and areas where construction plan-
ning must be integrated with zone location restrictions.
Four cross sections will be prepared of wetland and riparian
habitats to illustrate elevations, water levels, and plant
types. Buffer zone requirements will also be mapped and
narrative descriptions prepared.
PD123.052 11
TASK 8—MARINE AND IN-LAGOON BENTHIC AND
PELAGIC HABITAT SURVEYS
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the surveys in Task 8 is to assess existing
conditions of marine intertidal zones, shallow subtidal
zones, and in-lagoon areas that will be subject to excava-
tion and dredging or burial or to other disturbances from
proposed dredging, beach nourishment, or dredge spoil dis-
posal activities.
METHODOLOGY
Outside Lagoon
The intertidal sandy beach areas planned for nourishment
will be surveyed by biologists to determine the types and
extent of existing habitat (s), to determine the presence of
dominant macrobiotic organisms, and to assess the physical
characteristics of the habitat(s). Five intertidal infaunal
samples will be obtained from the Batiquitos and Encinas
beach nourishment sites (total of ten samples). Samples will
consist of 1-liter, 10 cm deep cores sifted through a 1-nun
screen. Samples will not be taken from cobble areas. The
genus of organisms will be taxonomically field-identified,
and all sieved samples will be labeled and preserved for
future reference. Two physical sediment samples will be
taken at each site and characterized according to sands,
silts, cobble, etc.
Subtidal areas (-5 to -20 feet) will be surveyed by scuba-
diving marine biologists, who will swim eight transects to
observe and record the existing habitats and macroepibiota
present within the Batiquitos Lagoon area (e.g., cobble
beds, kelp beds). The two nourishment sites (Encinas and
Batiquitos) will have four transects each taken to charac-
terize local conditions. Underwater photographs will be
taken where visibility allows. Cobble habitats and other
particular habitats will be generally mapped and described
to record the existing conditions.
In-Lagoon
In-lagoon sampling will include eight stations of benthic
grabs (1 liter per sample) taken to a maximum penetration of
10 cm. These will include five replicates per station
sieved through a 0.5 mm screen. Two stations will be
located in the West Basin, two in the Central Basin, and
four stations will be sampled from the East Basin. These
samples will generally represent the various elevations,
salinities, and other habitat conditions existing in the
PD123.052 12
lagoon for one season during the spring months. Organisms
will be identified in the laboratory with estimates of
abundance at the species level.
Pelagic resources will be sampled at one station in the West
Basin, one in the Central Basin, and three in the East
Basin. Samples at these five stations will use duplicate,
10-minute duration, 1 m x 16 cm manta nets with 333 micro-
mesh. Species will be enumerated during the laboratory
identification of split samples. Also a minnow net (14 ft
long with 1 cm mesh) will be used at the same five stations,
one sample per station.
PRODUCTS
The nearshore and intertidal habitats outside the lagoon will
be characterized using maps and text. Generalized in-lagoon
benthic and pelagic communities will be described and species
lists will be developed, based primarily on existing data.
The data will be incorporated into the baseline section of
the EIR/EIS.
TASK 9—PREDICTED HABITAT AND ECOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to develop, for the proposed
plan and alternatives, ecological predictions for the
habitats that may be changed by project construction (e.g.,
the saltwater/brackish marshes, riparian areas, fishery
uses, etc.).
METHODOLOGY
Predictions for ecological changes will include vegetation
and benthic evolutions expected to occur over time, as well
as an anticipated stable-state ecology. Fish and wildlife
conditions that will evolve as a result of these changes
will be described based on relevant studies and findings.
Comparisons of the proposed plan and alternatives will be
developed where appropriate. The predicted habitat condi-
tions will be compared with those on which the Enhancement
Plan is based. The effectiveness of meeting the mitigation
goals of the HEP will be discussed. The potential for suc-
cessful conservation of the habitat values identified in the
Enhancement Plan will be determined for each alternative.
Mitigation goals defined in the MOA will be compared with
the predicted habitat results, and each alternative will be
evaluated according to its relative success in meeting these
goals.
PD123.052 13
PRODUCTS
Descriptions of ecological transformations of existing habi-
tats will be prepared as part of the EIR/EIS. Expected uses
(breeding, rearing, etc.) and seasonality will be described.
A map of the predicted habitats and related acreages will be
provided. Comparisons of alternatives will be included in
the text.
TASK 10—NOISE MONITORING AND IMPACTS EVALUATION
OBJECTIVE
Existing and projected noise conditions will be evaluated to
determine potential impacts and regulatory compliance.
METHODOLOGY
Noise monitoring equipment will be placed in areas of poten-
tial impact either from operation of in-lagoon construction
equipment or from traffic on nearby transportation corridors
(i.e., trucks used for disposal of materials).
Noise data developed in prior studies will be evaluated.
Monitoring equipment will be placed in areas adjacent to
sensitive receptors that may register noise impacts as a
result of construction or transportation activities. Com-
puterized noise projections will be developed using the
STAMINA/OPTIMA or other appropriate noise model. Noise
estimates will be developed for areas of potential impact,
and maps will depict noise levels relative to sensitive
receptors. The City's interim noise ordinance will be used
to assess the likelihood of compliance with local regula-
tions.
PRODUCT
A noise evaluation will be prepared, with associated maps,
for inclusion in the EIR/EIS document.
TASK 11—BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to assess the status of five
species that are covered by federal and state protected spe-
cies regulations which are thought to occur in the vicinity
of the Batiquitos Lagoon. These species are: the Cali-
fornia least tern, snowy plover, least Bell's vireo, Beld-
ing's savannah sparrow, and the California brown pelican.
PD123.052 14
METHODOLOGY
Information on the status of federal and state threatened
and endangered species at Batiquitos Lagoon is fragmentary
and spread among various status reports and unpublished
field journals. A species of concern, the least Bell's
vireo, may breed occasionally in riparian areas at the
lagoon if suitable nesting habitat is present, fielding's
savannah sparrow was observed at the lagoon during the 1987
surveys. The Enhancement Plan has specific provisions for
California least tern habitat conservation and enhancement.
The California brown pelican was included in the Enhancement
Plan as a species of concern. A Biological Assessment
report that discusses each of these species will be prepared
for submittal by the Corps to the USFWS.
Consultation with USFWS and CDFG will be undertaken by the
Corps at the outset of this scope of work. Pertinent docu-
ments on the target species will be reviewed. Data devel-
oped in the 1987 and 1988 surveys will be reviewed with data
from agency representatives working with these species.
Potential breeding habitats for the Bell's vireo will be
evaluated and specifically surveyed twice during the 1988
breeding season. Data on all species will be analyzed in
terms of the proposed project engineering and potential
impacts.
The information will be collated and included in a Biologi-
cal Assessment, as required by Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act. The preparation of the Biological Assessment
will be led by the Corps as mandated by federal require-
ments. The Consultant will prepare information on the five
species listed above, based on the 1987 and spring 1988
field surveys, and will present it in a draft Biological
Assessment for Corps use.
The draft Biological Assessment will address endangered
species inhabiting the lagoon, their numbers, phenology, and
habitat requirements. The potential effect of Enhancement
Plan alternatives on these species will be assessed and
incorporated into the document. Conservation measures (as
previously developed through PACTEX and new measures) will
be described that would reduce or eliminate impacts to the
subject species. A preliminary draft Biological Assessment
will be submitted to the project management team. After
review and revisions, it will be formally presented to the
Corps for submittal to USFWS. The Consultant will partici-
pate in four agency meetings before and during the consulta-
tion process. The Biological Assessment will be summarized
in the EIR/EIS.
PD123.052 15
PRODUCTS
A preliminary draft and a draft Biological Assessment (con-
sistent with state and federal requirements) for submittal
to USFWS and inclusion in the EIR/EIS will be prepared for
the Corps. Consultant will provide technical support during
the Section 7 consultation (if required).

OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this task is threefold:
o To prepare impact analyses for environmental ele-
ments required by CEQA/NEPA
o To identify mitigation requirements in addition to
those already committed to in the proposed project
o To evaluate the environmental effects and feasi-
bility of the alternatives for lagoon enhancement,
and of alternative designs or construction and
disposal techniques developed during the environ-
mental engineering process
METHODOLOGY
This task specifically limits the alternatives to be consid-
ered fully in the EIR/EIS to the following:
1. No Action (the future without the project)
2. Proposed Action (Alternative A)
3. Three alternatives from the Preliminary Engineer-
ing Design Report as well as the "Intermittent

induced growth, and other potential general
impacts to the local economy and social con-
ditions
o Aesthetics
o Air quality and noise impact during construc-
tion near the lagoon site and along transpor-
tation routes
Air quality will be estimated based on types
and duration of operation of various con-
struction, equipment, and particulates and
PD123.052 18
carbon monoxide emissions resulting from
truck transportation dredge materials.
o Effects on public services and utilities
o Cumulative effects of this project related to
other local, regional projects
For each of these topics, the analysis will
include construction and long-term operation and
maintenance impacts for each alternative being
considered. Both beneficial and adverse impacts
will be assessed.
3. Whenever possible, reasonable mitigation measures
will be developed that may result in further re-
finement of the project design or construction
techniques, or the measures may be incorporated as
conditions in the construction documents or long-
term operation and maintenance plans. Mitigation
discussions will distinguish between "planned" and
"available" measures and the effectiveness of
mitigations in reducing impacts. These measures
will be discussed in the EIR/EIS.
PRODUCTS
The products of this task will include five subsections of
the EIR/EIS.
o Impacts
o Mitigation measures and effectiveness of those
measures
o Analysis of alternatives

The purpose of this task is to receive comments on the DEIR/
DEIS, prepare appropriate responses to comments, and prepare
the FEIR/FEIS.
METHODOLOGY
Consultant will compile and review all written and verbal
comments received during the DEIR/DEIS review period with
the Corps, the City, and POLA. Responses to comments will
be assigned by the City to the appropriate responsible
party. Depending on the number of comments received, the
POLA, City, and Consultant will decide whether the Final
EIR/EIS scope of work needs to be expanded or otherwise
amended. If modification is appropriate, the POLA, City,
and Consultant will decide on appropriate amendments and
will negotiate any change orders required based on the
billing schedule provided as Exhibit C (with appropriate
adjustments if work will be undertaken in 1989).
Consultant will prepare necessary responses to a reasonable
number of comments (estimated to be 220 hours of profes-
sional staff time). Consultant will coordinate preparation
of responses by other parties. Consultant will undertake no
new data collection, field work, or computer work during
this effort (but will provide necessary clarification, etc.,
as may be appropriate). Consultant will not remodel any
efforts undertaken during previous tasks.
A draft packet of responses to comments will be prepared by

ASSESSMENT OF BLEP ON LITTORAL DRIFT
The impacts of the proposed Batiquitos Lagoon jetties and beach
nourishment on local littoral drift vill be accomplished through a numeri-
cal model of the shoreline betveen Agua Hedionda extending to the south of
Encinitas. The shoreline model will compute longshore transport at ap-
proximately 2000 foot increments along the shoreline and vill take into
account the impacts of the jetties, the beach nourishment, Agua Hedionda
maintenance dredging, and the proposed Oceanside Harbor sand bypass opera-
tions. The model to be used vill be structured after GENESIS which is
presently being developed by CERC for such applications.
The computer shoreline model vill take as input the local vave condi-
tions as measured in the Coast of California Storm and Tidal Wave Study
(CCSTVS) presently being undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Los Angeles District. Model calibration vill consist of comparing model
predictions of shoreline locations vith shoreline surveys also available
through CCSTVS given the observed vave climate during the shoreline profil-
ing study. The calibration period may include the period extending as far
back as 1983 through the present but vill more likely Include some subset
of this period due to data availability. The prediction of future
shoreline locations will be made using vave statistics generated from the
observed vave climate at Oceanside and Del Mar as part of the CCSTVS. The
future shoreline predictions vill be made assuming the preliminary design
for the Batiquitos jetties and beach nourishment as veil as the absence of
these features to determine the actual impact.
The computer shoreline model vill include the effects of vave diffrac-
tion and refraction near the presence of jetties and nearahore bathymetry
as veil as inland sediment sources and sinks and offshore losses. Other
sediment budget studies prepared under the CCSTVS in this region vill be
used for comparison vith model predictions.
