TITLE:EXPAND SCOPE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PRELIMINARY STUDIES FOR BATIQUITOS
LAGOON ENHANCEMENT PROJECT,
PROJECT NO. 0000
sscco.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. af-&/o approving Change Order No. 1 for
additional biological and related technical studies required to
prepare the required environmental studies for the Batiquitos
Lagoon Enhancement Project, Project No. 0000.
ITEM EXPLANATION
On April 19, 1988 the City Council approved two items relative to
the enhancement project: First, a contract with firm of CH2M Hill
for the preparation of the required environmental documentation for
the enhancement project (not to exceed value of $563,901). Second,
a reimbursement agreement with the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) to
cover all costs related to the environmental review phase of the
project.
The CH2M Hill contract approved by the City and POLA was based on
a scope of work developed by the consultant, City and port staffs,
and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) . The Corps is the City's
federal counterpart as lead agency for the environmental review of
the enhancement project. The original scope of work was based on
the assumption that a large scientific data base on Batiquitos
7Lagoon already existed.
After the environmental contract was approved, the City and the
Corps opened a "scoping" period required by state and federal
environmental regulations. The purpose of the scoping period is
to allow all agencies that could have any responsibility for the
project (e.g, issuance of a permit, etc.) to have input as to the
contents of the environmental review. The City in consultation
with COE expanded the scoping process to include input from the
general public.
During the scoping period the COE and the City received well over
a hundred comments, some of which raised several important issues.
First, it was discovered that there were several gaps in the
scientific understanding of the ecology at Batiquitos Lagoon.
Specifically, it is not known how the lagoon functions in a
regional context. In order to ascertain whether enhancing the
lagoon could have an adverse impact on the regional ecology by
eliminating a unique ecosystem, this regional context must be
determined.
The second issue raised by the scoping comments was that the
existing data regarding food chains and bird use of the lagoon was
not of sufficient quality and quantity to address potential impacts
of the enhancement project.
-Page 2 of Agenda Bill No.
To address the above scoping concerns the consultants under City
and Corps supervision has revised the scope of work.
CH2M Hill per the requirements of Section 7 of its contract with
the City is requesting a change of work order be approved by the
City Council to cover the costs of the expanded scope of work.
POLA in accordance with its Reimbursement Agreement with Carlsbad
has already approved the revised scope of work (Exhibit No. 3).
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact on City resources resulting from the
approval of the Change of Work Order. The Change of Work Order is
for $54,074 which covers additional expenses required to perform
the services outlined in the revised scope of work dated September
30, 1988. The Reimbursement Agreement between POLA and City
allocates $620,291 to cover the CH2M Hill contract expenses. This
sum represents the $563,901 value of the CH2M Hill contract plus
$56,390 which is a ten percent contingency therefore the $54,074
has already been allocated and pursuant to the Reimbursement
Agreement, POLA approval of the use of the $56,390 contingency is
not required. However the Port has reviewed the expanded scope of
work and has approved the expenditure of the contingency fund.
The Reimbursement Agreement also allocates $51,700 to cover
Carlsbad's administrative costs related to the environmental
review. The agreement further allocates $12,925 (25%) contingency
to cover unanticipated City administrative costs. The total
allocation of $64,625 will cover any additional Carlsbad
administrative expenses related to this expanded work effort and
Change of Work Order.

REVISED PER SCOPING PROCESS COMMENTS
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
available and will assist Mr. Heagerty as needed. The
director of environmental studies will be Dr. Richard
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.)
CH2M HILL will report to Gary E. Wayne, Project Manager for
the City of Carlsbad. Mr. Wayne will manage all activities
of the consultant team. He will be responsible for distri-
bution of project materials and communications to the proj-
ect team members (Corps/Port of Los Angeles).
aIn this revision of the Scope of Work, suggested text
deletions are noted by brackets [], and suggested text
additions by underlining. Newly added tasks (4A, 4B, 4C,
6A, and 13A) are printed on separate pages, without under-
lining.
PD607.054
Workplan
A detailed workplan [will be] was prepared [after the formal
scoping process has been completed.] based upon the contract
of April 19, 1988. The workplan [will]included a detailed
project scope, critical path, and standard operating proce-
dures for technical studies. [All f] Field work and data
analysis periods [will be] were identified, as [will] were
document review requirements and schedules.
After the formal scoping process was completed (July 10,
1988) a revised Scope of Work, workplan, schedule, and
related details were prepared by CH2M HILL for the City of
Carlsbad (as indicated in this document).
During the scoping process [If] it [becomes] became apparent
[during the progress of the work] that additional ["impacts
and/or alternatives require analysis or] technical issues
and potential [that presently anticipated] impacts will
require more or a different type of analysis!,] ^_ T_he
consultant [will] m[e]et with the City, the Corps and POLA
to discuss changes to the scope of work. Based on that
meeting, the 21+ scoping letters received, and the July
workshop meeting, substantial revisions have been made to
Tasks 4, 6, and 13.
Project Instructions
Detailed project instructions were [will be] prepared for
all team members, subconsultants, City, and POLA staff.
These instructions [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 (monthly minimum) project management meetings are
[will be] held with representatives from the City, POLA, the
Corps, and CH2M HILL. At each of these meetings, the
following items [will be] are reviewed:
o Project status and workplan review
o Project schedule, including needed adjustments
o [Last 30 days of a] Agency and public
communications
o Issues of management concern
o Activities for next 30 days
PD607.054
CH2M HILL [will be] is represented by Dan Heagerty at these
meetings. Other technical members of the consultant team
[will] attend on an as-needed basis as determined by the
CH2M HILL and City project managers;. [It is assumed that s]
Subconsultant project managers will attend meetings at
critical stages of the project, at the discretion of the
client.
PD607.054
TASK 2—PUBLIC MEETINGS
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of Task 2 i£ to hold meetings throughout the
EIR/EIS process in order to ensure project continuity and
maximize agency and public communications.
METHODOLOGY
Public Workshop Meetings
Four 1 [L]ocal public workshop meetings will be held in
Carlsbad [approximately every second month]. These will be
informational discussions with the local public and
officials. These meetings will not include formal presen-
tations. The meetings [can be] are scheduled during daytime
or nighttime hours. CH2M HILL will be represented by Dan
Heagerty, Leslie Howell, or Rick 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] two formal presentations at public
meetings will be prepared and presented by the consultant
team on project status. One or two meeting^ [each] with the
City Council and [or] the Planning Commission will be held
to review the Draft or final EIR/EIS documents. [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.] These
meetings will be determined by the City, but will not exceed
four meetings total.
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] Tekmarine representatives.
Agency Meetings
The following agency meetings are planned [at this time]:
o [A] Two scoping meeting^ for the EIR/EIS to be
convened by the Corps and City, were held in May,
1988.
PD607.054
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.
PD607.054
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.
A. Water Quality Model for Alternative 3
A water quality [model] analysis will be [run] undertaken
for the "Intermittent Alternative 3" (developed by the
Conservancy) using methodologies developed for the water
quality analysis for Alternatives A, B, and C in the
Preliminary Design Engineering Report. This study effort
will not include full numerical modeling but will provide
necessary information 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
PD607.054
coastal studies on littoral drift.] A detailed description
of the study was presented to the city in July, 1988.
E. Physical Environment
[This study is optional at this time and will require
authorization 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] five 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 sedi-
ments. A technical memorandum will be issued summarizing
the results of our investigation.
PD607.054
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
During the scoping process it was made apparent that the
existing conditions of the lagoon are of particular
technical concern. [Several a] Aspects of the lagoon's
physical and biological conditions have been studied by a
variety of agencies and contractors. 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 environmental analysis can be based.]
However, there are several issues to be further studied in
order to properly describe the existing conditions of the
lagoon. The emphasis of recommended studies is on a
functional evaluation of lagoon existing conditions,
particularly as they relate to wildlife (avian) habitat use
and food chain support. Functional characteristics will
provide the basis for description of the lagoon in relation
to regional resources and functions/ and for impact evalua-
tions. Also, increased emphasis is placed on collection of
information which will allow evaluation of expected changes
in the Lagoon under the No-Action alternative.
METHODOLOGY
Information will be summarized from all available sources of
published and unpublished data, including communications with
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[.] at a level commensurate with the
information available or with the level of data collection
provided herein.
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. Air Quality. Existing air quality information
will be collected from available data and used in
PD607.054
developing discussions concerning air quality con-
ditions. Noncompliance 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. Hydrological/Physical. Both existing and histori-
cal physical and hydrological 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). Physical
environmental conditions will also be drawn from
the Task 3 analyses re; physical environmental
studies.
3. Water Quality. Existing water quality conditions
in the lagoon and adjacent marine areas will be
described. Water quality conditions for both
freshwater and saltwater aquatic habitats will be
discussed. Physical 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. The two beach nourishment sites will
receive onsite inspections at a low tide episode
to characterize intertidal resources.
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
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
PD607.054
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 associations and fish and wildlife habitats.
Known fish and wildlife uses and ecological
relationships will be discussed. This information
will be supplemented 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. For federal and state threatened and endangered
wildlife, descriptions of general ecological
relationships, status, potential habitats, and
known and potential occurrences will be described
and mapped based upon the Biological Assessment
[to be prepared for federal and state threatened
and endangered wildlife] that is being completed
in Task 11. 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
discussion will include the California least tern,
the least Bell's vireo, the snowy plover, the
California brown pelican, and fielding'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
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). No
field sampling will be undertaken for preparation
of existing conditions. As appropriate, evalua-
tions of the existing physical and hydrological
conditions and their fish and wildlife habitat
PD607.054 10
values, developed 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]
reviewed based upon published information.
Related land use policies and ordinances will be
reviewed. County and state coastal plans will be
[reviewed] briefly discussed as they relate to
Batiquitos Lagoon.
11. Socioeconomic conditions in the Carlsbad [and
northern San Diego County] area will be described
based upon recent, related studies. Local economy,
population,and demographic[will be] [discussed
based on] lines will be drawn from existing, pub-
lished [information] EIR and related documents
that the city will provide to consultant.
12. Existing traffic counts for roads and intersec-
tions that may be impacted by the project will be
[developed using existing available information.
Level of service estimations will be made for
those roads that may be impacted by project con-
struction alternatives] drawn from the Sammis,
HPI, and Zone 19 EIR documents. Traffic levels
for project construction will be defined by pro-
jections already developed plus truck trips/day
estimated to be required for offsite disposal
purposes. 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 according to
existing reports. Relationship to other plans
such as HPIs will be [described] discussed. [M] A
map[s] will be prepared and existing policies will
be described. City, county, and state goals for
access and recreation will be described. All
discussions will rely on existing inventories,
policies and plans.
14. Environmental and public safety criteria for the
lagoon's tidal opening will be [included in the
discussions concerning tidal inlet design]
developed based upon design features and
interviews with knowledgeable sources (such as
Agua Hedionda personnel, Parks and Recreation
representatives, etc.).
PD607.054 11
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.
PD607.054 12
TASK 4A—SUPPLEMENTAL EXISTING CONDITIONS
OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this task is to collect data on
existing functions operating in Batiquitos Lagoon on which
to base a functional evaluation of the ecosystem and to
predict successional development from existing conditions.
In addition, delineation of wetland boundaries will be
completed using U.S. Army Corps of Engineers methods for the
previously undelineated sections of Batiquitos Lagoon (the
west and central basins).

The following studies will be conducted to provide informa-
tion for functional evaluation of the system:
o Food chain support
a. Terrestrial components
b. Aquatic components
1. Benthic mesofauna (grab samples,
insects, and molluscs)
2. Aerial insects (emergent trap)
c. Algal mats (floating and salt marsh
understory)
1. Aerial insects (emergent and above mats)
2. Mat algae and epifauna
d. Food requirements - wildlife
o Wildlife habitat
a. Utilization
b. Factors limiting utilization
Studies will be limited to information searches (published
and unpublished literature) related to the terrestrial com-
ponents of food chain systems, wildlife food requirements,
and habitat utilization. Because of the lack of data on the
contribution of aquatic and algal mat fauna to food chains
in Batiquitos Lagoon, a field study is proposed to sample
benthic mesofauna, aerial insects, and algal mat epifauna in
the Lagoon. Data from this one-time field survey will clar-
ify the role of aquatic components and algal mats in the
food chain structure.
PD607.054 13
Studies directed to address future succession within the
Lagoon include the following:
o Lagoon succession (historical)
a. Physical environment
b. -Biological environment
1. Vegetation/habitat types
2. Fisheries and wildlife
o Lagoon succession (future)
a. Physical environment
1. Sediment loading and fill rate
b. Biological environmental
1. Vegetation/habitat types
2. Fisheries and wildlife
o Lagoon cycles - seasonal
a. Water levels
b. Water chemistry
c. Vegetation
d. Wildlife use (primarily avian)
Studies in these areas involve collection of information
from reports and publications. Studies will not be
exhaustive but will aim to present the lagoon as a dynamic
system.
PRODUCTS
Results of these studies will be incorporated with Task 4
subsections into the Draft EIR/EIS. A map identifying the
wetland boundary in the west and central basins of
Batiquitos Lagoon will be provided.

TASK 4B—FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION - EXISTING CONDITIONS
OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of this task are to analyze informa-
tion collected in Task 4A, to determine functional values of
the existing Batiquitos Lagoon system, and to determine the
relative contribution of the functions in creating and
maintaining the current ecosystem.
METHODOLOGY
The following possible functions (depending on presence)
will be evaluated:
o Groundwater recharge/discharge
o Flood storage and desynchronization
o Shoreline anchoring and erosion
o Sediment trappping
o Nutrient retention
o Food chain support
o Wildlife habitat
o Fisheries
o Active/passive recreation
The latter four functions will be emphasized.
PRODUCT
The resulting summary will be included as a subsection of
the existing conditions considerations in the Draft EIR/EIS.
PD607.054 15
TASK 4C—REGIONAL ANALYSIS - EXISTING CONDITIONS
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this task are to determine the regional
significance of current Batiquitos Lagoon functional
attributes, to document the history and development of
ecosystems in local lagoons, and to compare and contrast
these histories with human-induced and natural factors
affecting current Batiquitos Lagoon ecosystems.
METHODOLOGY
Information from regional lagoon and estuarine research will
be collected and analyzed. The following functional
attributes will be examined in greater detail for systems
judged as comparable to Batiquitos Lagoon, particularly
those attributes deemed most critical for Batiquitos Lagoon
functional analysis. Information collection will con-
centrate on published documents, and analysis will be
descriptive.
o Sediment loading
o Food chains
o Wildlife habitats
o Fish habitats
PRODUCT
The results of this task will be included as a subsection in
the Draft EIR/EIS.
PD607.054 16
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.
PD607.054 17
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 1987-1.988.
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 (additional surveys described in
Task 6A) to search for species of special concern and to
refine technical information developed in 1987.
Vegetation communities based on plant associations will be
mapped (tentative scale 1:4800). Field surveys will be
conducted to field-verify information used in this vegeta-
tion mapping effort. The amount of acreage in each major
vegetation community will be estimated. In addition, eco-
logical 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 abundancef
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.
PD607.054 18
TASK 6A—SUPPLEMENTAL BIRD SURVEYS
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this task is to provide additional infor-
mation on the avian community and its habitat utilization
during the fall migration period to supplement data
collected during the 1987 season.
METHODOLOGY
Two field surveys will be completed using the same methods
and procedures during the collection and analysis of Task 6
survey data. The surveys are scheduled for early August and
mid-September 1988.
PRODUCTS
The data collected, compiled, and analyzed from the two
additional surveys will be added to the Task 6 report. The
revised report will be completed by October 1988.
PD607.054 19
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.
PD607.054 20
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-mm
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
PD607.054 21
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.
PD607.054 22
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.
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.
PD607.054 23
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.
PD607.054 24
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.
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. Belding'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
PD607.054 25
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.
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).

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_. The jthree alternatives from the Preliminary
Engineering Design Report (Alternatives A, B, and
C_)_ as well as the "Intermittent Alternative"
(Alternative 3 of the conservancy plan)
3i. Three dredged material disposal alternatives

Basin mining and disposal
o Upland disposal site (San Marcus Landfill)
requiring trucking, combined with two sites
for beach nourishment
o Upland disposal at Green Valley (via pipe-
line) combined with two sites for beach
nourishment
£. Three sediment basin alternatives: in-lagoon,
out-of-lagoon, and no basin
_5. Alternative construction techniques (these are
considered in the Predesign Report)
A discussion of other alternatives that were examined and
subsequently dropped from further consideration will be
briefly discussed in the EIR/EIS. A specific discussion
PD607.054 27
