Project Title and Number: City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans - EIR 03-01 Project Location : Citywide Project Description (brief): Citywide Water and Sewer Master Plans (See detailed project description attached.) I I MICHAEL J. HOLZhILLE~, Planning Director Date Reference: California Administrative Code, Title 14, (CEQA Guidelines) sectior! 15082(a), I5 103, 15375. Revised October 1989 I PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS 1 .o I NTRO DUCT1 0 N The Carlsbad Municipal Water District and City of Carlsbad Sewer District are responsible for the respective maintenance, operations, and management of water distribution and sewer collection systems in the City of Carlsbad (City). Each District proposes to implement a Master Plan Update for the provision of infrastructure services throughout the City. The two Master Plans, a Water Master Plan and a Sewer Master Plan, represent comprehensive programs for the phased and orderly development of water and sewer utilities for future needs of the City. They consist of individual capital improvement projects to construct new facilities and modify or expand existing facilities that would be needed to implement the Master Plans. . 1.1 Lead Agencies 1.1.1 Carlsbad Municipal Water District The Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) water service area covers approximately 85 percent of the City and includes an area of approximately 32 square miles. Primary land uses in the service area include industrial, residential, and agricultural uses. All of CMWD’s water is supplied through four San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) treated water aqueduct connections. The CMWD is totally dependent on the SDCWA supply for potable water needs. Storage is provided by 11 enclosed reservoirs, one reservoir not in use, and one dam (Maerkle Dam). CMWD’s water distribution system includes over 230 miles of distribution mains 6 inches in diameter and larger. The water mains begin at each of the four SDCWA connections and move westward. In addition, four booster pump stations exist in the CMWD system, although one is inactive. Other components within the CMWD system include pressure reducing stations, a number of water wells, a hydro generation facility at Maerkle Reservoir, and two disinfection facilities. 1.1.2 Carlsbad Sewer District The Carlsbad Sewer District (CSD), previously known as the Carlsbad Sanitary District, provides sewer service to the Carlsbad area. Po?tions of the City’s existing convevance system date back as far as 1929. The CSD wastewater service area covers approximately 70 percent of the City limits. Sewer service to the southeast corner of the ..-... City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 1 I PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS City is provided by the Leucadia County Water District (LCWD), and the Vallecitos Water District (VWD) provides service to the Meadowlark area along the eastern City limit. - The service area is comprised of five major drainage basins, which extend from approximately the eastern service area boundary, and drain west to the coast and ultimately to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). These sewage drainage basins are defined by the existing and planned interceptors within the City of Carlsbad. In addition to the gravity interceptors, a number of lift stations are required to convey wastewater flows to the Encina WPCF. 1.2 Previous Master Plans Master planning for water and sewer infrastructure has been conducted previously in the City. The current plans represent updates to previous master planning documents. Summaries of recent Water and Sewer Master Plans are provided below, followed by a description of the current updates. - I 1.2.1 Previous Water Master Plans The original Water Master Plan was approved in 1990 and prepared by MacDonald- Stephens Engineers. A subsequent update, prepared in 1997 by ASL Consulting Engineers, revised and updated population projections, City planning criteria, and specific project development plans. The 1997 Master Plan Update identified the facilities required to serve existing and projected potable water demands within the service area and adjacent areas of influence. The 1997 document was not formally adopted by the City of Carlsbad, and as such, the recommendations made in the 1997 Update have been incorporated into the current 2003 Master Plan Update and will be evaluated in the CEQA document. 1.2.2 Previous’ Sewer Master Plans 1987 Master Plan of Sewerage The 1987 Master Plan of Sewerage was prepared by Wilson Engineering and was the first plan prepared in accordance with City of Carlsbad Growth Management Plan. In 1987, the majority of development in Carlsbad was alclng the coastal strip and was City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS predominantly residential. The population of the 1987 study area was estimated at 39,000, and the ultimate population was projected to be 95,700. In 1987, the ultimate average flow from the City of Carlsbad was projected to be 13.41 million gallons per day (mgd). - 1992 Master Pian of Sewerage The 1992 Master Plan of Sewerage was prepared by Wilson Engineering and was an update of the 1987 Master Plan. By 1992, the population of the study area had increased to 65,000 and the ultimate population projection had increased to 130,000. Development was starting to progress inland and the percentage of commerciaVindustria1 development had increased since the last Master Plan. The projected population growth curve first developed in the 1987 Master Plan was revised to increase more rapidly through the year 2000, and then flatten out to an annual growth rate of approximately 1 percent from the year 2000 to buildout. In 1992, the ultimate average flow projection was increased slightly from the 1987 projection to an estimated flow of 13.84 mgd. A CEQA Negative Declaration was prepared for this document, addressing the environmental effects of the Master Plan of Sewerage. 1997 Sewer Master Pian Update In 1994, the City of Carlsbad adopted a new General Plan. The 1997 Sewer Master Plan Update, prepared by Carollo Engineers, incorporated the revised 1994 land use and population projections from the new General Plan. Because ultimate population projections were reduced only slightly from those used in the previous plan, an updated capacity analysis of sewer interceptors was deemed unnecessary. The 1997 update addressed capacity analyses for various sewer trunk lines and the Encina WPCF. Similar to the 1997 Water Master Plan Update, the 1997 Sewer Master Plan Update was not formally adopted by the City of Carlsbad. The recommendations made in the 1997 Master Plan Update have been incorporated into the current 2003 Master Plan Update and will be evaluated in the CEQA document. 1.3 Purpose and Scope of Current Master Plan Updates The current Master Plan Updates for Water and Sewer are being assembled using the following assumptions, data, and methods: City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 3 ~~ __ _I- - PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS I I I I 1 I Inventorying data of existing facilities; Examining water billing records for existing development; Employing the City’s Growth Management Database for futuie development projections; Applying unit factors for demand; Using models for future infrastructure needs and sizing; and Calculating fees derived based on estimated construction costs. The Master Plans consist of multi-year studies for facility improvements within the Districts, and identify infrastructure needs to accommodate demands from future development through City buildout. The plans include a review of existing and projected flows, capacity analyses, existing conditions assessment, Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and revisions to the sewer and water connection fee programs. They would establish a connection fee program to fund buildout water and sewer infrastructure identified as part of the planning process. Therefore, three actions are included in the overall project: adoption of the two Master Plans and adoption of the connection fee program. The connection fee program would result in economic effects in that it would update the fee structure used to obtain funds for capital projects. As such, the connection fee program is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act and will not be discussed in the EIR. c 1.3.1 2003 Water Master Plan Update The 2003 Water Master Plan Update (DUDEK 2003) evaluates the existing water distribution system and its ability to meet project demands. Since the most recent Master Plan Update in 1997, a substantial number of residential, commercial, and industrial developments have been constructed and future development has been identified in the City’s 2001 Growth Management Database. The 2003 document presents an update of CMWD’s Water Master Plan for the planning period between 2001 and buildout of the District’s service area, which is anticipated to occur by 2020. Based on the condition of many existing facilities, CMWD reviewed all infrastructure within the service area to identify necessary improvements to existing facilities, capacity improvements, and expansion needs. As stated in Section 1.2. I, the CIP developed in the 1997 Update is included in the 2003 Master Plan effort. - City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 4 I PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS _. . 1.3.2 2003 Sewer Master Plan Update - The 2003 Sewer Master Plan Update (DUDEK 2003) represents an update of the District's Sewer Master Plan for the planning period between 2001 and,buildout of the District's service area (anticipated by 2020). In summary, the 2003 Update includes tasks to document existing facilities, project ultimate average wastewater flows, estimate existing and ultimate peak flows, and develop a computer model to perform an existing and ultimate system capacity analysis. The outcome of these analyses is a recommended long-term CIP for improvement of existing wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The 2003 Update also recommends a sewer connection fee to finance the recommended facilities. -" In the 2003 Master Plan Update, ultimate sewer flow projections are based on the City's recently compiled Growth Management Database, which projects the number of additional single and multi-family units and the number and size of non-residential buildings at buildout. - 1.4 Project Description and Objectives - The CMWD and CSD each propose to implement a master plan for the provision of make facility upgrades and increase capacity for the distribution of potable water; the Sewer Master Plan would update the City's sewer collection facilities.

CSD will be Co-Lead Agencies in preparing this Program Environmental Impact Report - - City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 5 ~~~ ~ PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS Use of the Program EIR A Program EIR is proposed to analyze the first-tier effects of the Water and Sewer Master Plan Updates. A Program EIR is typically usedfor an agency program or series of actions that can be characterized as one large project. Typically, such a project involves actions that are closely related geographically (Cal. Code of Regs., Title 14, 5 151 68(a)( l)), for agency programs (5 151 68(a)(3)), or as individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory authority and having generally similar environmental effects which can be mitigated in similar ways (5 151 68(a)(4)). Program ElRs generally analyze broad environmental effects of the program with the acknowledgment that site-specific environmental review may be required for particular aspects of portions of the program when those aspects are proposed for implementation (5 151 68(a)). Once the Program EIR is prepared for the Water and Sewer Master Plans, subsequent (or second-tier) activities within the program must be evaluated to determine whether an additional CEQA document needs to be prepared. When the subsequent activities involve site-specific operations, the City would use a written checklist to document its determination that the environmental effects of the operation were covered in the Program EIR. If the Program EIR addresses the program’s effects as specifically and comprehensively as possible, many subsequent activities could be found to be within the Program EIR scope and additional environmental documentation would not be required (5 151 68(c)). If a subsequent activity would have effects that are not within the scope of the PEIR, the City would need to prepare a new Initial Study leading to either a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, or an EIR. 1.4.1 Project Location The project is located in the northern part of San Diego County within the City of Carlsbad as shown in Figure 7. All project components would be located within the Districts’ boundaries, with two exceptions, as shown in Figure 2. A proposed water line upsize at the eastern end of Palomar Airport Road (component 26) would be located within the City of San Marcos, and the abandonment of nine water wells is proposed (component 32) near Foussat Road within the City of Oceanside. City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 6 \ \ Camp Pendieton City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Vicinity Map J \ I PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CIN OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS 1.4.2 Water Master Plan Update CIP projects (or project components) of the Water Master Plan Update include: - Installation of 20 new water mains; Replacement or improvements to 5 existing water mains; Installation of two new water storage tanks, and improvements to one existing reservoir; Installation of four new pressure reducing stations (PRS), and conducting capacity improvements to one existing PRS; Installation of one new pump station and increasing the capacity of two other existing pump stations; One new intertie upgrade Abandoning nine water wells; and Fire flow improvements at 14 locations. These components are shown in Figure 2 and briefly described below. The project components are detailed in Attachment 7, including their location, description, and project type. Wafer Pipelines and Mains A large majority of the CIP pipeline and water main projects proposed under the Water Master Plan Update would be financed via development fees from private developers as part of separate development projects throughout the City. As such, many of the water pipelines and water mains have been previously documented in separate CEQA documents such as EIRS, Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), or Negative Declarations (NDs) as part of those development projects. A number of mixed use and residential development projects proposed by other parties have included water line upgrades and capacity analyses as part of those projects, in order to analyze whether adequate water supply would be available to their proposed developments. As such, a number of water lines have been discussed and analyzed in separate CEQA documents, which are available for review at the City of Carlsbad Planning Department. As indicated on the map, the dashed lines indicate water lines that have been previously addressed in a separate CEQA document, or are currently being reviewed in a separate CEQA document. These include facilities that will be provided or have City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 9 PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS already been.installed by private developers as part of various developments. The solid pipelines are those that are proposed as part of the 2003 Master Plan project. - Attachment 2 provides additional detail regarding prior or current envirofimental review of pipelines shown on the map. - - Water Storage Two new water storage tanks are proposed to accommodate water supply needs. The first tank, component 27, is proposed at the existing water tank farm along Black Rail Road near its intersection with Poinsettia Lane. This tank would be approximately 175 feet in diameter, 56 feet high, and would be the fourth tank at that facility. The proposed tank would be the same size as the three existing tanks, approximately 8.5 million gallons. - The second proposed water tank, component 28, would be a 15-million-gallon facility at Maerkle dam to supplement existing dam storage. It is proposed to be buried and would be approximately 350 feet wide and 110 feet high. Improvements to the existing reservoir at Lake Calavera (component 33) are also included in the Master Plan, and will be analyzed in a separate CEQA document. Pressure Reducing Stations c A PRS provides a method of serving water between different pressure zones, from a higher pressure zone to a lower. Four new stations are proposed under the 2003 Master Plan Update. The size of the pressure reducing stations has not yet been determined, but each would be approximately 8 by 12 feet and could possibly be located underground. The facilities would include sump pumps and pressure reducing valves. Two of the stations (components 6 and 35) would be located within the Calavera Hills Master Plan area, near future Cannon Road east of El Camino Real. The third PRS (component 21) is planned for the southeast part of the City along El Fuerte Street, and the fourth (component 1) is located near future Marron Road in the northern section of the City. Also, one existing PRS (component 30) is proposed to be upsized with increased capacity to supply new development in the 375 zone. This PRS c City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 10 PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS is located east of El Camino Real just south of the Cantarini-Holly Springs residential development projects. Pump Stations - One new pump station (PS) is proposed as component 20. It would be located at the northeast intersection of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. The pump station would include three pumps and would roughly be 15 by 20 feet in size. Two PS projects (components 29 and 37) would involve conducting capacity improvements to existing stations. Component 29 is required for emergency supply from Maerkle Dam, and component 37 would also include installation of an emergency generator and other onsite improvements. 1.4.3 Sewer Master Plan Update The 2003 Sewer Master Plan Update is to include capacity improvements to the existing sewer collection system's wastewater interceptors. The components of the 2003 plan would involve rehabilitation or replacement activities for existing sewer pipelines and forcemains, improvements to existing lift stations, and removing several lift stations. Refer to Figure 2 for the location of these proposed facilities. The previously prepared Master Plan (Carollo 1 997) addressed improvements and capacity analyses of trunk sewers, and capacity summary of the Encina WPCF. NO CEQA documentation was prepared for the 1997 report; as such, the Program EIR will address the effects of implementing the projects recommended in the 1997 study, as well as impacts resulting from implementation of the 2003 Master Plan Update. Attachment 3 shows the proposed projects to be implemented as part of the 2003 project. Vis ta/Caris bad interceptor Capacity lmpro vemen ts As shown in Figure 2, projects proposed in the 2003 Sewer Master Plan Update's recommended improvements include those related to the VistdCarlsbad Interceptor. The 2003 Update recommends replacement of existing interceptor lines with new 42- inch lines and replacing a parallel forcemain. These activities would all be conducted within existing alignments in roadways; no new lines are proposed. City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 11 ~~~ -- PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS The existing Buena Vista Lift Station forcemain (component 30) consists of parallel 24-and 16-inch diameter pipelines for most of its length. It is recommended that a new 24-inch diameter forcemain replace the 16-inch main- and parallel the' existing 24-inch main for its entire length. In addition to increasing the station capacity, the new parallel forcemain will reduce peak velocities and increase reliability. Lift Stations The 2003 Update recommends improvements to 8 existing sewer lift stations and the removal of 10 lift stations, as shown in Attachment 3 and Figure 2. At this program level of analysis, it is assumed that several lift stations would be physically removed rather than abandoned. As subsequent project-level plans become more defined, the CSD may determine to abandon some of the lift stations. Removal is generally a more impactive process on the environment that is abandonment, and as such, this Program EIR will analyze the worst-case scenario for purposes of environmental analysis. As part of the removal process, additional sewer lines are necessary to be installed in the immediate area surrounding the Gateshead, Villas, Woodstock, and La Golondrina lift stations to connect the sewer system to residential development projects. Other Lift Station Improvements Identified in the 7997 Master Plan A detailed survey of the sewer lift stations with respect to the condition, code complian.ce, standby power, and capacity was performed as part of the 1997 report. A summary of the recommended improvements that have not yet been constructed is provided in Attachment 3 and shown on the map on Figure 2. All of the recommended improvements would be installed within the footprints of the existing lift stations. Encina Water Pollution Control Facility Projects The 2003 Update includes a sewer connection fee update. The connection fee update includes 11 projects that would be implemented separately by the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) as lead agency. As one of six EWA member agencies, the City of Carlsbad is responsible to contribute their cost share of the proposed sewer projects, which would be funded in the connection fee program. The EWA projects are provided in this document to disclose the complete project description of the 2003 Update; however, EWA as lead agency is responsible for conducting separate environmental City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Page 12 PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS review for these projects. Refer to Attachment 4 for a list of the 11 EWA projects. All 11 projects are located on Encina WPCF property at 6200 Avenida Encinas.

As we have discussed previously, the project description does not mention the proposed desalination facility at the Encina Power Station or the offsite water lines that will be required for water produced by this facility. We understand that staff has concerns about providing a detailed discussion of this project and its offs'ite facilities in this EIR due to the City's uncertainty about the future of the project and the size and location of the offsite facilities needed to serve it. However, we believe that the EIR for the City's Water and Sewer Master Plans should contain some discussion about this project addressing its potential impacts on Carlsbad's water supply and explain that the desalination project and its offsite facilities are being addressed by a separate Environmental Impact Report. We are looking forward to the opportunity to review the draft EIR when it becomes available for public review later this year. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding our comments.

We were not provided a copy of the initial study for the project, so it is not clear to us whether and to what degree the City anticipates addressing cultural resources in the EIR. We would like to suggest that this is an appropriate time and level at which to define and adopt standard wording for archaeological monitoring of trenching and other excavation associated with individual projects. Components of such a monitoring program would include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: Qualifications for project archaeologists and archaeological monitors Preconstruction meeting participation by the archaeologist Requirement for full-time presence of the archaeological monitor in the specified areas Actions to be taken in rhe event of discoveries Actions to be taken if human remains are encountered Requirements for collection processing, report generation, and curation at an appropriate institution The City of San Diego has been heavily involved in water and sewer upgrades and replacements, which has led to development of comprehensive standard archaeological monitoring mitigation measures. We can provide a copy, or you may contact Ms. Myra Herrmann at the City of San Diego’s Development Services Department, at (61 9) 446-5372. While modification would certainly be necessary to reflect the City of Carlsbad’s requirements and preferences, San . Diego’s efforts could serve as a good starting point. P.O.

BARDIN Generol Monoger Dear Elaine, Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR for the City of Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans, EIR 03-01. Please note that Leucadia County Water District has recently changed our name to the Leucadia Wastewater District (LWD). LWD provides sewer service in the La Costa area of the City of Carlsbad. LWD, along with the City of Carlsbad (Carlsbad) are joint partnedowners in the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA), which operates a regional wastewater treatment facility located in Carlsbad. We understand that Carlsbad is the lead agency for the Notice of Preparation and has requested the views of LWD as to the scope and content of the environmental information which is germane to LWD’s wastewater agency responsibilities in connection with the proposed master plan water and sewer capital improvement projects. The proposed Carlsbad water and sewer projects will be located throughout the City of Carlsbad. It appears that only three of the proposed water projects and three of the proposed sewer projects are in the vicinity of existing LWD sewer facilities. In this regard, LWD requests that Carlsbad include LWD in the plan check process during the design and preparation of construction documents for these particular Carlsbad facilities. The project numbers and descriptions for which LWD requests notice and review are as follows: Water Emergency water booster pump in vicinity of Obelisco Place Provide redundant water supply at intersection of El Fuerte & Corintia St. Emergency water connection to SDWD along Carlsbad Boulevard F14 21 22 District Office: 1960 Lo [orto Avenue, Corlrbod, California 92009-6810 (760) 753-01 55 FOX: (760) 753-3094 www.ltwd.org Printed on ieryrled paper Ms. Elaine Blackburn, City of Carlsbad Carlsbad Water & Sewer Master Plan EIR 03-01 NOP May 2s. 2003 Page 2 of 2 Sewer La Costa Meadows Sewer Extension 1 Avenida Encinas Gravity Sewer 10 11 La GoIondnna Sewer Extension Please note also that the project description attached to the NOP for Sewer Project 10, La Costa Meadows Sewer Extension should be updated to reflect that the La Costa Meadows No. 3 Sewer Pump Station is a LWD-owned facility. There is an Interagency Agreement in place between Carlsbad and LWD providing temporary sewer service through this LWD pump station and collection system for 28 homes in the Rancho Carrillo Village 44, Carlsbad Tract 93-04. These 28 homes will be served by Carlsbad in the future upon construction of the Carlsbad Sewer Project 10, La Costa Sewer Extension on El Fuerte to the La Costa Meadows No. 3 Pump Station. Please also note that LWD is open to discussing the future possibility of Carlsbad providing sewer service to approximately 68 additional homes currently located within that area of LWD now served by La Costa Meadows Pump Station No. 3, thereby allowing future removal of that pump station. Please provide a copy of the draft EIR to LWD, when available. If you have any questions, please call myself, Steve Deering, District Engineer at 760-942-0366 Extension 101, or Mr. Paul Bushee, Assistant General Manager at 760-753-0155 Extension 3012. Very truly yours, ' SteveDeenng,PE LCWD District Engineer cc. Mr. Paul Bushee, LCWD Assistant General Manager Mr. Frank Reynaga, LCWD A &%mpra Energy utility’ May 28,2003 Ms. Elaine Blackburn City of Carlsbad Planning Department 1635 Faraday Drive Carlsbad CA 92008 RE: NOP OF EIR FOR THE CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PLANS - EIR 03-01 Ms. Blackburn: Sempra Energy Utilities, on behalf of San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E), is responding to a request from the City of Carlsbad for comments on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the Carlsbad Water and Sewer Draft EIR. As a property owner in the City of Carlsbad, and the provider of natural gas and electrical service to government, businesses and residents in Carlsbad, SDG&E supports the city in its efforts to provide reliable water and server service. Service Availability Electric and natural gas facilities can be made available to the project according to SDG&E’s rules filed with and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). However, the continued availability of electric and gas energy for this and future projects is dependent on the supply of fuel and other essential materials, and governmental approval of facilities construction. There are no general factors which can be applied to estimate the proposed electricity or gas demands for the lift stations, pumping stations, wells, hydro- generation or disinfectant facilities proposed for this project. Without detailed improvement drawings SDG&E cannot, at this time, determine the energy requirements for any electrical or natural gas system loads generated by the proposed water and sewer project. Therefore we are unable, at this time, to identify what if any relocations, changes or upgrades to our existing electric and gas transmission or distribution systems might be required to serve the project. However, SDG&E has customer project planners who can provide energy estimates, projected loads and the need for any potential system upgrades when detailed improvement drawings are available. Riclhts-of Wav and Easements - SDG&E needs assurance that access is retained to its existing utility rights-of- way and/or easements that may be affected by any of the proposed water and sewer system improvements or upgrades. Access to existing ‘rights-of-way and/or easements is critical to ensuring the continued maintenance, repair, upgrade, relocation or construction of SDG&E’s electrical and gas facilities. The DElR should address, where applicable, the effects of the project regarding: - Any proposed relocations of existing SDG&E electrical or natural gas facilities within W, franchise positions, and/or easements required for the proposed water and sewer project. Proposed grading within any SDG&E (WW) and/or easements. Proposed encroachments into RNV and/or easements and their potential impacts on existing SDG&E access road networks, including public or private roads. Increased drainage flow in FUW and/or easements as a result of the proposed water or wastewater project improvements. Any proposed changes to land use in existing R/W and/or easements as a result of the proposed project. Any changes to earth cover over existing underground natural gas lines or electrical distribution lines, or changes to aboveground clearances of existing overhead electrical lines. Water or sewer system improvements within or adjacent to SDG&E’s existing W and/or easements should consider information contained in SDG&E’s “Guide for Encroachment on Transmission Rights-of-way” and “Gas Transmission Mains Within SDG&E Easements, Restrictions for Encroachment into SDG&E Easements.” Copies of these documents can be obtained upon request. SDG&E typically requires the issuance of a Letter of Permission to Grade for grading within SDG&E R/W and/or easements. Encroachments or secondary uses within SDG&E FUW andlor easements typically require issuance of a Right of Way Use Agreement. Habitat and Endanqered Species Gas and electric transmission or distribution facilities provided to serve the proposed water and sewer project are defined as customer projects under SDG&E’s existing Subregional Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP)/SO Year Permit. Therefore, any impacts to endangered species and/or their habitats resulting from gas or electrical service extensions and/or relocations for the proposed water and sewer project are not covered by the NCCP. It is important that any impacts to species or habitats as a result of extending or relocating gas or electrical service to the proposed water and sewer project are adequately discussed in the DEIR, and appropriate mitigation, environmental construction monitoring or post-project mitigation monitoring and maintenance for any project impacts are included and budgeted for in the city’s proposed water and sewer projects. Permittinq SDG&E’s electrical facilities are re ulated by th CPUC under General Order 131-D (GO 131-D). GO 131-D requires that SDG&E obtain permits for certain electrical transmission or substation projects. If the proposed water or sewer improvements discussed in the DElR require any relocation of electric transmission facilities over 50kV. and/or any new or upgraded electrical transmission or substation facilities in excess of 50 kilovolts (kV), permits for the construction of these facilities by SDG&E, may be required from the CPUC. The CPUC permitting process can take from 12 to 24 months. However, GO 131-D (Section A. and B.l) does grant exemptions from CPUC permits for certain electrical transmission line construction, extension or relocation and substation projects where they have “undergone environmental review pursuant to CEQA as part of a larger project, and for which the final CEQA document (Eiivironmeniai Impact Repori (EIR), or Negative Declaration) finds no significant unavoidable environmental impacts caused by the proposed line or substation.” To avoid any potential costly delays in permitting and construction of the proposed water and sewer facilities, we would encourage the City of Carlsbad to include discussion of such electrical facilities in the DEIR as necessary. SDG&E and Sempra Energy Utilities would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the draft master EIR. Please call me at (619) 696-2732 if you have any questions, or if we can assist you with any utility discussions in the final EIR.

Under 9 2800 - 9 2840 of the Fish and Game Code, the Depamnent, through the NCCP program, is coordinating With local jurisdictions, landowners, and the Federal Government to pnscrve local auld regional biological diversity. Coastal sage scrub is the first natural community to be planned for under the NCCP program. The Department recommends that the City ens Jre that the dcvelopmcnr of this project does not pfecludc long-term preseme plannine options, and that this project confoms with other requirements of the NCCP program and HCPIOMSP. Jurisdictions participating in the NCCP program should asst ss specific projects for consistency with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines, Additionally, the jurisdictions should quantify and qualify: 1) the amount of costa1 sage scrab within their boundaries; 2) thc acreage of coastal sage scrub habitat rernovcd by irldividual pmjects; and 3) any acreage set aside for mitigation. This information shoiild be kept in an updated ledger system. 4.

The Deparunent considen these communities as threatened habitats having 1~0th regonal and local significance. Mitigation measures should emphasize avoidance, and where avoidance is ir feasible, reduction of project impacts. The Department generally does not support khc usc of relocation, salvage, and/or transplantation as mitigation for impacts on rare, lhreatened, or endangered species. Studies havc shown that these efforts are experimental 1 n nntun and largely unsuccessful. This discussion should include measures to perpetually protect the targeted hJbitat values where preservation andor restoration is proposed. The objective should be t’? offsct the project-induced qualitative and quantitative losses of wildlife habitat values. Issues that should be addressed include restrictions on access, proposed land dedication:, monitoring and managemcnt programs, control of illegal dumping, water pollution, increased human intrusion, etc. Plans for restorauon and revegetation should be prepared by Iiersons with expertise in southcrn California ecosystems and native plant revegetation tcci miques. Each plan should include, at a minimum: (a) the location of the mitigation site; (b) the plant species to be used; (c) a schematic depicting the mitigation arcs; (d) timc of zar that planting will occur; (e) a description of the irrigation methodology; (f) measures to control exotic vegetation on site; (g) succcss criteria; (h) a detailed monitoring progmm; (i) contingency measures should the success criteria not be met; (j) identificatior of &he entity(ies) that will guarantcc achieving the success criteria and providc for ccmservation of the mitigation site in perpetuity.

Descriptions and analyses of a rangc of alternatives to ensure that alternatives to the proposed project arc fully considered and evaluated. Thc analyses must inclullc alternatives that avoid or otherwise reduce impacts to scnsitive biological resources. Specific alternative locations should be evaluated in areas of lower resource sensitivity where appropriate. 6. The Dcparunent has responsibility for thc conservation of wetland and ripariait habitats. It is the policy of the Department to strongly discourage &velopmtnt in or convmion of wetlands. We oppose any development or conversion which would result in a reduction of wetland acreage or wetland habitat values, unless, at a minimum, projcct mitie ation assures there wiIl be “no net loss” of either wetland habitat values or acreage. Develol~ment and conversion include but are not limited to conversion to subsurface drains, placl:menr of fill or building of structurcs within the wetland, and channelization or removal of natcrials from the streambed. All wetlands and watercourses, whether intermittent or pmnnial, should be retained and provided with substantial setbacks which preserve the riparian and 86/82/2883 16: 21 8584674299 DFG SOUTH COAST REG PAGE 87 ENCLOSURE 4 aquatic valucs and maintain their value to onsitc and offsite wildlife populat.ons.

Gallegos Gallegos & Associates 5671 Palmer Way, Suite A Carlsbad, California 92008 Project 12-03 L DATE: May 2003 SOURCE OF COPIES: ABSTRACT: South Coastal Information Center San Diego State University 4283 El Cajon Blvd., Suite 250 San Diego, California 92105 The Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) and City of Carlsbad Sewer District (CSD) propose to implement a Master Plan Update for provision of infrastructure services within the City of Carlsbad. The Water and Sewer Master Plans (WSMP) correspond to extensive programs of the development of water and sewer utilities for future needs of the City. These programs include individual capital improvement projects to construct new facilities and modify or expand existing facilities. As part of this Master Plan Update, a cultural resource background study was conducted to address the effects of the proposed capital improvement projects on cultural resource within or adjacent to the project components. The background study consisted of a literature review and record search, which identified 88 studies conducted within or adjacent to the project components of the WSMP. Primarily, as a result of these studies, 63 cultural resources were recorded. These cultural resources are typed as 9 habitation sites; 35 artifact scatters; 3 artifact scatterdmilling stations; 2 lithic scatters; 5 shell scatters; 3 historic sites; 1 isolate; and 3 sites identified as unknown. The majority of the WSMP is within developed areas with only approximately 10% of the WSMP previously surveyed. For the WSMP, it is recommended that developed areas be spot-checked, and undeveloped areas not previously surveyed be surveyed to identify the presence or absence of cultural resources. Cultural resources identified as significant within or immediately adjacent to the WSMP components include: CA-SDI-628, CA-SDI-694, CA-SDI-5353, and CA-SDI-6826. Previously recorded cultural resources that have been evaluated for site significance and identified as not significant include: CA-SDI-209, CA-SDI-9473, CA-SDI-68 19, CA-SDI- 11953, CA-SDI-15073, P-37-024171, P-37-024176, P-37-018284, and P-37-15325. In all, 50 previously recorded cultural resources have either not been tested or no information was available to determine site significance (see Table 3-1). Testing of these sites is recommended to determine site condition, significance and mitigation measures. If previously recorded sites are located withn developed areas, monitoring during construction is recommended as an alternate to a testing program. If cultural resources are discovered as a result of monitoring, then testing and if necessary, data recovery will be conducted. PJ. 12-03 May 2003 iii SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) and City of Carlsbad Sewer District (CSD) propose to implement a Master Plan Update for provision of infrastructure services within the City of Carlsbad. The Water and Sewer Master Plans (WSMP) correspond to extensive programs of the development of water and sewer utilities for future needs of the City of Carlsbad (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). These programs include individual capital improvement projects to construct new facilities and modify or expand existing facilities. As part of this Master Plan Update, Gallegos & Associates was contracted by Dudek & Associates to conduct a cultural resource background study to address the effects of the proposed capital improvement projects on cultural resource within or adjacent to the project components. The goals of the WSMP Cultural Resource Background study are to: (1) Compile and review existing data for all project components; (2) Identify sites and site status within or adjacent to the project components; (3) Prepare a technical report which provides a description of the study results and a discussion of known and potential areas of cultural resource sensitivity; and (4) Recommend future compliance studies as components of the master plan. The approximately 153,240-foot linear project is located within the City of Carlsbad, and is depicted on the USGS San Luis Rey, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, and Encinitas 7.5' quadrangles (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). All project components are located within the City of Carlsbad, with the exception of two additional areas, located at the eastern end of Palomar Airport Road and near Foussat Road (in the cities of San Marcos and Oceanside). The study was conducted in compliance with the City of Carlsbad and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. Appendices include Rtsumks in Appendix A, Record Search Requests in Appendix B, Tables for Cultural Resource Sites in Appendix Cy and Tables for Previous Work in Appendix D. PJ. 12-03 May 2003 1-1 Gallegos & Associates I Regional Location of Project FIGURE I 1-1 k c: 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The WSMP components cover four USGS 7.5’ topographic maps (San Luis Rey, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, and Encinitas) and encompasses approximately 153,240 linear feet. The environmental setting for the WSMP is framed by three major estuarine lagoons (Buena Vista Lagoon, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, and Batiquitos Lagoon) on &e west, with two large canyons (Canyon de las Encincas and Los Monos Canyon) in between. In addition, three major drainage systems (Buena Vista Creek, Agua Hedionda Creek, and San Marcos Creek traverse the study area. Vegetation within the study area includes coastal sage scrub, riparian habitat, oak woodland, and in disturbed areas or developed urban areas, non-native grasses and landscaped foliage are present. 1.3 BACKGROUND - PREHISTORY The body of current research of prehistoric occupation in San Diego County recognizes the existence of at least two major cultural traditions, discussed here as Early PeriodArchaic and Late Period, based upon general economic trends and material culture. Within San Diego County, the Archaic generally spans the period from 10,000 to 1300 years ago, while the Late Period spans from 1300 years ago to historic contact. The Historic Period covers the time from Spanish contact to present. 1.3.1 Early Period/Archaic The Early PeriodArchaic, for this discussion, includes the San Dieguito and La Jolla complexes, which are poorly defined, as are the interrelationship between contemporaneous inland, desert, and coastal assembIages (Gallegos 1987). Initially believed to represent big game hunters, the San Dieguito are better typified as a hunting and gathering society. These people had a relatively diverse and non-specialized economy in which relatively mobile bands accessed and used a wide range of plant, animal, and lithic resources. Movement of early groups into San Diego County may have been spurred by the gradual desiccation of the vast pluvial lake system that dominated inland basins and valleys during the last altithemal period. This hypothesis is supported by the similarity between Great Basin assemblages and those of early Holocene Archaic sites in San Diego County. Several researchers recognized the regional similarity of artifacts and grouped these coftemporaneous complexes under the nomenclature of either the Western Pluvial Lakes c PJ. 12-03 - May 2003 1-4 Tradition or the Western Lithic Co-tradition (Bedwell 1970; Davis et al. 1969; Rogers 1939; Warren 1967; Moratto 1984). The origin of coastal populations and subsequent interaction between the coastal population and Great Basiddesert groups is a subject of some debate (Gallegos 1987). Whatever their origin, the first occupants immediately exploited the coastal and inland resources of plants, animals, shellfish, and fish (Moriarty 1967; Kaldenberg 1982; Gallegos 1991; Kyle et al. 1998). The development of a generalized economic system indicates that the San Dieguito and related groups can be placed within the general Archaic pattern. Archaic cultures occur within North America at slightly different times in different areas, but are generally correlated with local economic specialization growing out of the earlier Paleo-Indian Tradition (Willig, Aikens and Fagan1988). Archaic cultures are often represented by more diverse artifact assemblages and more complex regional variation than occur in Paleo-Indian traditions. This is generally thought to have resulted from the gradual shift away from a herd-based hunting focus to a more diverse and area specific economy. The earliest sites are found near coastal lagoons and river valleys of San Diego County. These sites are the Hanis Site (CA-SDI-149), Agua Hedionda Sites (CA-SDI- 210NCLJ-M-15 and CA-SDI-10695), Rancho Park North (CA-SDI-4392/SDM-W-49), and Remington Hills (CA-SDI-11069), dating from 9500 to 8000 years B.P. The northern San Diego County coastal lagoons supported large populations, circa 6000 years ago, as shown by the numerous radiocarbon dated sites adjacent to these lagoons. After 3000 years ago, there is a general absence of archaeological sites in north San Diego County to circa 1500 years ago. This reduction in number of archaeological sites can be attributed to the siltation of coastal lagoons and depletion of shellfish and other lagoon resources (Warren and Pavesic 1963; Miller 1966; Gallegos 1985). Archaeological sites dated to circa 2000 years ago are found closer to San Diego Bay, where shellfish were still abundant and may well represent what can be considered the end of the La Jolla Complex (Gallegos and Kyle 1988). The La Jolla and Pauma complexes, which are identified as following the San Dieguito Complex, may simply represent seasonal or geographic variations of the somewhat older and more general San Dieguito Complex. Inland La Jolla occupation sites have been reported in transverse valleys and sheltered canyons (True 1959; Warren et al. 1961; PJ. 12-03 May 2003 1-5 Meighan 1954). These non-coastal sites were termed "Pauma Complex" by True (1959), Warren et al. (1961), and Meighan (1954). Pauma Complex sites by definition have a predominance of grinding implements (manos and metates), lack shellfish remains, have greater tool variety, seem to express a more sedentary occupation, and have an emphasis on both gathering and hunting (True 1959; Warren 1961; Meighan 1954). - Archaic sites from 10,000 to 1300 years ago within San Diego County include coastal habitation sites, inland hunting and milling camps, and lithic quarry sites. Material cultural assemblages during this long period are remarkably similar in many respects. These deposits may well represent a process of relative terrestrial economic stability and presumably slow cultural change. Though various culture traits developed or disappeared during the long span of 10,000 to 1300 years ago, there is a clear pattern of cultural continuity during this period. 1.3.2 Late Period During the Late Period (circa 1300 to historic contact), a material culture pattern similar to that of historic Native Americans first becomes apparent in the archaeological record. The economic pattern during this period appears to be one of more intensive and efficient exploitation of local resources. The prosperity of these highly refined economic patterns is well evidenced by the numerous KumeyaayDiegueiio and Luiseiio habitation sites scattered over San Diego County. This ifcrease in Late Period site density probably reflects better preservation of the more recent archaeological record and a gradual population increase within the region. Artifacts and cultural patterns reflecting this Late Prehistoric pattern include small projectile points, pottery, the establishment of permanent or semi-permanent seasonal village sites, a proliferation of acorn milling sites in the uplands, the appearance of obsidian from Obsidian Butte, and interment by cremation. Many of the Late Prehistoric culture patterns in southern California were shared with groups along the eastern periphery of the region. Even in the most recent periods, the Native Americans of southern California incorporated many elements of their neighbors' culture into their own cultures. This transference and melding of cultural traits between neighboring groups makes positive associations of archaeological deposits with particular ethnographically known cultures difficult. This is particularly true of the groups withm San Diego County. Though significant differences exist between Luiseiio and KumeyaaylDiegueiio cultures (including linguistic stock), the long interaction of these PJ. 12-03 May 2003 1-6 groups during the Late Period resulted in the exchange of many social patterns. Archaeologists must rely heavily on ethnographic accounts of group boundaries as recorded during the historic period, although it is not known how long these boundaries had been in place or the validity of these boundaries as presently reported. The project area falls within Luiseiio territory as defined by Kroeber (1925). - As a result of contact with Spanish, Mexican and American settlers, Native American populations were decimated by resettlement and disease. Presently, Native Americans are found throughout San Diego County, especially within the 17 San Diego County reservations. Further readings on Kumeyaay (Diegueiio) and Luiseiio Native Americans include: Almstedt 1974; Barrows 1900; Bean 1972; Bean and Saubel 1972; Bums 1967; Cuero 1968; Drucker 1939; Dubois 1908; Gifford 1918; Hamngton 1978; Hedges 1986; Heizer and Almquist 1971; Heizer and Whipple 1957; Hooper 1920; Keneally 1965; Kroeber 1970; Langdon 1970; Memll 1973; Pourade 1960; Priestley 1937; Robinson 1969; Rudkin 1956; Shipek 1977, 1980, 1986a,b, 1987, 1988, 1989a,b, 1991, 1993; Sparkman 1908; Spicer 1962; Spier 1923; Strong 1929; Tibesar 1955; Underhill 1941; White 1963; Wolcott 1929; and Woodward 1934. 1.4 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (taken from Gallegos et al. 1993) An abbreviated history of Spanish, Mexican and American settlement in San Diego County is presented for the purpose of providing a background for discussion of the presence, chronological significance and historical relationship of historical resources within the project area. The history of San Diego County is commonly presented in terms of Spanish, Mexican and American political domination. A discussion of historic land use and occupation under periods of political rule by people of European and Mexican origin is justified on the basis of characteristics associated with each period, when economic, politjcal and social activities were influenced by the prevailing laws and customs. Certain themes are common to all periods, such as the development of transportation, settlement, and agriculture. Robinson (1 979) provides a comprehensive account of public and privately owned land in California, with a discussion of laws, activities and events related to the development of the State. PJ. 12-03 May 2003 1-7 c 1.4.1 Spanish Period (1769-1821) The Spanish Period represents: exploration; establishment of the San Diego Presidio, and the San Diego and San Luis Rey missions; the intrgduction of horses, cattle, and agricultural goods; and, a new method of building conStruction and architectural style. Spanish influence continued after 1821, when California became a part of Mexico. Under Mexican rule, the missions continued to operate as in the past, and laws governing the distribution of land were also retained for a period of time. 1.4.2 Mexican Period (1821-1848) The Mexican Period includes the initial retention of Spanish laws and practices until shortly before secularization of the San Diego Mission in 1834, a decade after Spanish rule. Although several grants of land were made prior to 1834, vast tracts of land were dispersed through land grants offered after secularization. Cattle ranching prevailed over agricultural activities and the development of the hide and tallow trade increased during the early part of this period. The Pueblo of San Diego was established and transportation routes were expanded. The Mexican Period ended as a result of the Mexican-American War. 1.4.3 American Period (1848 to Present) The American Period began when Mexico ceded California to the United States under the Treaty of Guadalupe fidalgo. Terms of the treaty brought about creation of the Lands Commission, in response to the Homestead Act of 1851, that was adopted as a means of validating land ownership throughout the state through settlement of land claims. Few Mexican ranchos remained intact because of legal costs and lack of sufficient evidence to prove title claims. Much of the land t'at once constituted rancho holdings became available for settlement by immigrants to California. The influx of people to California and the San Diego region was the result of various factors, including the discovery of gold in the state; the conclusion of the Civil War; the availability of free land through passage of the Homestead Act; and, later, the importance of the county as an agricultural area supported by roads, irrigation systems, and connecting railways. The growth and decline of towns occurred in response to an increased population and the economic boom and bust cycle in the late 1800s.

PJ.12-03 May 2003 1-9 c c SECTION 2 LITERATURE REVIEW RESUL'IS 2.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides the results of the literature review and record search antl a discussion on known and potentially significant sites within the WSMP study area. The record search was conducted at the South Coastal information Center (SCIC), and Gallegos & Associates library. This study did not include fieldwork to determine the presence/absence of cultural resources or present condition of the sites within the WSMP. 2.2 LITERATURE REVIEW AND RECORD SEARCH METHODS A large map consisting of four 7.5' USGS quadrangles (San Luis Rey, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, and Encinitas) was created for the WSMP study area. This project map was then submitted to the SCIC, San Diego State University to identify previous work, previously recorded cultural resources, National Register listed and eligible properties (National Association of State fistoric Preservation Officers et al., 1988 and annual updates in the Federal Register), California Historical Landmarks (Office of Historic Preservation 1990), Points of Historic Interest (Office of Historic Preservation, 1992), and locally listed historic properties and structures within the study area. Data gaps include the unevenness of the archaeological record and varied quality of the previously recorded cultural resource database. Some reports and site record forms were not included as they were reported missing by the SCIC. Previous work and site record information are discussed in the following sections. Record search requests are included as Appendix B. 2.3 PREVIOUS WORK The literature review and record search was completed at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), San Diego State University (SDSU), and at the research library at Gallegos Associates. Previous work within the WSMP study area was placed in tabular format (Appendix D, Tables D-1 and D-2). This data was arranged by report title, author, date, type of study, site type, site number, and project component number.

As a result of these previous studies, 63 previously recorded sites (CA-SDI-209, -210, -608, -628, -629, -694, -760, -1016, -4852, -4858, -5353, -5416, -5431, -5436, -5440, -5601, - 5651, -5652, -5793, -6133, -6135, -6139, -6140, -6751, -6819, -6821, -6823, -6826, -8195, - 9041, -9092, -9094, -9472, -9473, -9474, -9615, -9653, -9654, -9846, -9967, -10671, - 10672, -10746, -11026, -1 1953, -12739, -12807, -12810, -13008, -13701, -15069, -15073, - 15545, -15546, -16048, -16049, -16054, -16135, P-37-018284, -024171, -024176, -024329, and -15325) have been recorded within or directly adjacent to the project area. 2.4 SITE RECORD FORM DATA Cultural resources within the WSMP study area were mapped and site record form data were placed in tabular format (Appendix C, Tables C-1 and C-2). This data was arranged by project component number, site number, site type, condition, recorder, date recorded, site comment, and type of study. For the present study, sites previously recorded within the WSMP were classified by type (Le., habitation, artifact scatter, and lithic scatter). The typing of sites was based, for the PJ. 12-03 May 2003 2-2 most part, on information provided on site forms. This information is often inconsistent and incomplete. When available, information from test and data recovery reports were used to supplement the database. Definitions for site types are provided below. Habitation Site: A habitation site contains a variety of artifacts, which may include flaked lithics, ground stone, ceramics, and ecofacts (i.e., bone and shell), as well as bedrock milling. The presence of some or all of these artifacts or features suggests that more than one activity occurred at the site. Habitation sites contain a midden deposit, suggesting seasonal or semi-permanent occupation. Artifacts Scatter: Artifact scatters are light-duty camp sites and are defined as surface scatters of a few artifacts, such as flaked lithics, tools, ground stone, and ceramics. Ecofacts such as bone and shell may also be present on this type of site; therefore, an artifact scatter may represent a stopping place on a journey, an area where a task was completed, or a special purpose site. This site type differs from a habitation site in that it does not contain a subsurface deposit (midden). Lithic Scatter: A lithic scatter is a scatter of debitage, cores, non-temporally diagnostic bifaces, and other flake- and core-based tools. For this study, such sites are presumed to lack diagnostic artifacts. Ceramic Scatter: A ceramic scatter is a scatter of native pottery sherds that represents a single vessel or multiple vessels, depending on specific variables &e., clay source). Ceramic scatters are temporally &agnostic, as native pottery was not introduced into the San Diego region until the late prehistoric period, after approximately 900 A.D. . Shell Scatter: A shell scatter is a scatter of fragmented or whole marine shell assumed to have a cultural affiliation. Milling Station (Bedrock Mllin~): - These are non-movable features located on large boulders or on bedrock outcrops that contain one or more milling features, such as mortars, basin metates, or milling slicks. A bedrock milling station is a specific task site; however, a surface andor subsurface deposit of artifacts may be present. If a complex archaeological assemblage is associated with a bedrock milling feature, then it is considered part of a habitation site. For this study, the term bedrock milling features are called milling stations. PJ. 12-03 May 2003 2-3 OUT: This is a locality where the principle activity consisted of procuring rock for lith~c tools. Quarry sites may be extensive and involve actual mining of lihc material, or they may be areas where cobbles from outcrops were tested for suitability (Wilke and Schroth 1989). Quarry sites do not usually contain artifacts associated with habitation, such as pottery, bedrock milling tools/features, or faunal materid, although a hmited number of processing artifacts may be present as support activity loci. For the purpose of this study, quarry sites are defined as localities where raw lithic material was obtained. Cobbles spread across Otay Mesa were not identified as quarries. Isolate Find: This is the occurrence of one or two artifacts and, by State of California definition, does not constitute a site. It should be noted that in the past some isolates have been given State of California site numbers. Rock Shelter: Often a small cave or overhang was used prehistorically for protection from inclement weather. Rock shelters usually contain a cultural deposit from the occupation and sometimes have pictographs or petroglyphs. Rock Feature: Rock features are identified as rock alignments, usually representing low- lying walls or rock piles. Traditional Cultural Propertv: This is a property that is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places because of its association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are rooted in that community’s history, and (b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. The record search produced 63 cultural resources within or adjacent to the WSMP study area. These cultural resources were typed by Gallegos & Associates as: 9 habitation sites; 35 artifact scatters; 3 artifact scatterdmilling stations; 2 lithic scatters; 5 shell scatters; 3 historic sites; 1 isolate; and 3 sites identified as unknown.

A total of 63 cultural resources have been identified within the WSMP study area. Of the 63 sites, 9 sites were identified as not significant, 4 sites were identified as significant, 48 sites were identified as unknown site status, and 2 sites were identified as unknown site status for portions of the site. Of the 63 sites, a total of 33 sites have been recorded within the Water Project Components, and a total of 34 sites have been recorded within the Sewer Project Components. Data gaps include the unevenness of the archaeological record and varied quality of the previously recorded cultural resource database. - PJ. 12-03 May 2003 2-21 SECTION 3 SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA AND RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides guidelines and significance -criteria under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Carlsbad Guidelines. City guidelines identify the need for a record search, and field survey to identify the presence or absence of cultural resources. In order to comply with CEQA and City guidelines, a testing program to determine site significance is required. Testing programs provide the necessary information to more accurately determine site size, depth, integrity, and the quantity and range of cultural material within a subsurface deposit. The testing program is also necessary to determine the potential for each site to address important research questions. The City of Carlsbad Cultural Resource Guidelines outline specific measures to conduct testing to determine site significance through documentation and evaluation of both surface and subsurface components of each cultural resource. If a site is recommended as not significanthot imDortant under CEQA and city guidelines, then upon acceptance of the report by the agency, no further work is necessary and the site need not be addressed as to mitigation of impacts. The final report is submitted to the City of Carlsbad and to the local repositories at SCIC, San Diego State University, and the San Diego Museum of Man. If a site is determined to be sip;nificant/imDortant under CEQA and City guidelines, several options determined by the local agency are available. For example, the site may be preserved and protected in an Open Space Easement and capped with soil. Certain uses may be allowed over a capped site, such as tennis courts, parkmg lots, golf course greens or parks. All artifacts collected as a result of survey, testing, data recovery, or monitoring need to be curated according to current professional repository standards. The collections and associated records shall be transferred to an appropriate facility within San Diego County. 3.2 SIGNIFICANCE UNDER CEQA Determination of what is and what is not an important resource is not a straightforward task. As suggested by Moratto and Kelly (1976), the significance of archaeological resources I PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3 -1 should be assessed in several terms, including research value to the scientist, aesthetic/ cultural value to the community at large, and value to the Native American community. The importance of an archaeological resource must be demonstrated. According to Section 15064.5 of CEQA, the term “historical resources” shall include the following: A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code $5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et seq.). A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Section 5020.l(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrate? that it is not historically or culturally significant. Any object, ouilding, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the archltectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code $5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852) including the following: (A) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage; (B) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; (C) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or (D) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, not included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to Section 5020.1 (k) of the Public Resources Code), or identified in an historical resources survey (meeting the criteria in Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in Public Resources Code sections 5020.1 (i) or 5024.1. (b) A project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3 -2 Substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource means physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of an historical resource would be materially impaired. The significance of an historical resource is materially impaired when a project: (A) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for, inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources; or (B) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics that account for its inclusion in a local register of historical resources pursuant to Section 5020.1 (k) of the Public Resources Code or its identification in an historical resources survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, unless the public agency reviewing the effects of the project establishes by a preponderance of evidence that the resource is not historically or culturally significant; or (C) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of a historical resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its eligibility for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources as determined by a lead agency for purposes of CEQA. Generally, a project that follows the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings or the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Wstoric Buildings (1995), Weeks and Grimmer, shall be considered as mitigated to a level of less than a significant impact on the historical resource. A lead agency shall identify potentially feasible measures to mitigate significant adverse changes in the significance of an historical resource. The lead agency shall ensure that any adopted measures to mitigate or avoid significant adverse changes are fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures. When a project will affect state-owned historical resources, as described in Public Resources Code Section 5024, and the lead agency is a state agency, the lead agency shall consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5024.5. Consultation should be coordinated in a timely fashion with the preparation of environmental documents. Recognizing that cultural resources often contain information that archival research cannot answer, there exists the potential for each resource to provide important information relevant to several theoretical and regional research questions. As part of the test plan, research questions concerning chronology, lithic technology, food procurement strategies, and trade PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3 -3 and travel were addressed. Testing provided the necessary information to determine site size, depth, content, integrity, and potential to address important research questions. 3.3 IMPACTS To complete the impact analysis, WSMP Project Components within developed areas should be spot-checked, and WSMP Project Components in undeveloped areas should be surveyed to identify the presence or absence of cultural resources. The impacts to the WSMP Project Components are summarized in Table 3-1. For this section, the following criteria are used to determine the significance of the resource, and evaluation and mitigation measures: Criteria for Determining Sienificance A project will normally have a significant impact if it will disrupt or adversely affect a prehistoric or historic archaeological site or a property of historic or cultural significance to a community or ethnic or social group; except as part of a scientific study. According to CEQA Guidelines, an important prehistoric or hstoric resource is one which: is associated with an event or person of recognized significance in California or American history, or recognized scientific importance in prehistory; can provide infomation which is both of demonstrable public interest and useful in addressing scientifically consequential and reasonable or archaeological research questions has a special or particular quality such as oldest, best example, largest, or last surviving example of its kind; is at least 100 years old and possesses substantial stratigraphic integrity; or involves important research questions that historical research has shown can be answered only with arc haeologic a1 methods . 3.3.1 Recommended Evaluation and Mitigation Measures The following recommended mitigation measures would reduce identified impacts to land-use to less-than significant (Table 3- 1). [a] Obtain permission from private landowners to survey the fields and yards in order to determine presence/absence of cultural resources. If cultural resources are located then mitigation measure [b] is recommended.

Depending on monitoring results, testing and data recovery may be necessary to evaluate the resource and to mitigate the impacts. Test those sites that have not yet been tested so a determination of sipficance can be made. If the resource is determined to be significant, mitigate through avoidance. If avoidance is not feasible, then mitigation through a data recovery program (see mitigation measure [c]). If site avoidance, the preferred mitigation measure, is not feasible, then a data recovery program should be completed to recover a large enough sample of cultural material so that information of importance in addressing regional research questions will not be irretrievable lost through impacts. Provide a qualified archaeological monitor during construction so that buried cultural resources can be identified in the field. Upon identification, the resource should be tested (mitigation measure [b]) to determine significance with appropriate mitigation measures as necessary. Monitoring Program The evaluation and monitoring program will be used for cultural resources within the WSMP study area that are located within developed areas. For these sites, a monitoring program, rather than a test program, is recommended if construction is to occur within or adjacent to the cultural resource site. Components of such a monitoring program would include, but not be limited to the following (adapted from City of San Diego Guidelines): Prior to Preconstruction (Precon) Meeting (1) Planning Department (PD) Plan Check a. Prior to the first Precon Meeting, the Environmental Compliance OfficerPlanner @COP) of PD shall verify that the requirements for Archaeological Monitoring and Native American monitoring, if applicable, have been noted on the appropriate construction documents. Prior to the first Precon Meeting, the applicant shall provide a letter of verification to the ECOP stating that a qualified Archaeologist has been retained to implement the monitoring program. At least thirty days prior to the Precon Meeting the qualified Archaeologist shall verify that a records search has been completed and. updated as necessary and be prepared to introduce any pertinent information concerning expectations and probabilities of discovery during trenching and/or grading activities. Verification includes, but is not limited to, a copy of a confirmation letter from South Coast Information Center or, if the search was in-house, a letter of verification from the Archaeologist stating that the search was completed. (2) Submit Letter of Qualification to ERM a. (3) Records Search Prior to Precon Meeting Precon Meeting 1. Monitor Shall Attend Precon Meetings a. Prior to beginning any work that requires monitoring, the Applicant shall arrange a Precon Meeting that shall include the Archaeologist, Construction Manager and/or Grading Contractor. The qualified Archaeologist shall attend any grading related Precon Meetings to make comments and/or suggestions concerning the Archaeological PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3 -7 Monitoring program with the Construction Manager andor Grading Contractor. Identify Areas to be Monitored At the Precon Meeting, the Archaeologist shall submit to ECOP a copy of the sitdgrading plan (reduced to 11x17) that identifies areas to be monitored as well as areas that may require delineation of grading limits. 2. During Construction - 1. Monitor Shall be Present During GradingExcavation t The qualified Archaeologist shall be present full-time during gradinglexcavation of native soils and shall document activity via the Consultant Monitor Record. This record shall be sent to the ECOP, as appropriate, each month. 2. Monitoring Trenches Will Include Mainline, Laterals, and all Appurtenances Monitoring of trenches is required for the mainline, laterals, services and all other appurtenances that impact native soils one foot deepes than existing as detailed on the plans or in the contract documents identified by drawing number or plan file number. It is the Construction Manager's responsibility to keep the monitors up-to-date with current plans. 3. Discoveries a. Discovery Process In the event of a discovery, and when requested by the Archaeologist, or the Principal Investigator (PI) if the Monitor is not qualified as a PI, the Construction Manager (CM), as appropriate, shall be contacted and shall divert, direct or temporarily halt ground disturbing activities in the area of discovery to allow for preliminary evaluation of potentially significant archaeological resources. The PI shall also immediately notify ECOP of such findings at the time of discovery. The significance of the discovered resources shall be determined by the PI. For significant archaeological resources, a Research Design and Data Recovery Program shall be prepared, approved by the agency and carried out to mitigate impacts before ground-disturbing activities in the area of discovery will be allowed to resume. Minor Discovery Process for Pipeline Projects For all projects: The following is a summary of the criteria and procedures related to the evaluation of small cultural resource deposits during excavation for pipelines. b. Determination of Significance C. (1) Coordination and Notification (a) Archaeological Monitor shall notify PI, CM and ECOP, as appropriate. Criteria used to Determine if it is a Small Cultural Resource Deposit (a) The deposit is limited in size both in length and depth; and, (b) The information value is limited and is not associated with any other resources; and, (c) There are no unique featuredartifacts associated with the deposit. (d) A preliminary description and photographs, if available, shall be transmitted to ECOP. (e) MMC will forward the information to EAS for consultation and verification that it is a small historic deposit. (3) Procedures for documentation, curation and reporting The following constitutes adequate mitigation of a small historic deposit to reduce impacts due to excavation activities to below a level of significance. (a) 100% of the artifacts within the trench alignment and width shall be documented in-situ, to include photographic records, plan view of the (2) PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3 -8 -- trench and profiles of sidewalls, recovered, photographed after cleaning and analyzed and curated. (b) The remainder of the deposit within the limits of excavation (trench walls) shall be left intact. (c) The Final Results Report shall include a requirement for monitoring of any future work in the vicinity. 4. Human Remains If human remains are discovered, work shall halt in that area and procedures set forth in the California Public Resources Code (Sec. 5097.98) and State Health and Safety Code (Sec. 7050.5) as follows: a. Notification (1) (2) (1) Archaeological Monitor shall notify the PI, CM and ECOP. The PI shall notify the County Coroner after consultation. CMIECOP, as appropriate, shall stop work immediately in the location of the discovery and any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlay adjacent human remains until a determination can be made by the County Coroner in consultation with the PI concerning the origin of the remains and the cause of death. (2) The County Coroner, in consultation with the PI, shall determine the need for a field investigation to examine the remains and establish a cause of death. If a field investigation is not warranted, the PI, in consultation with the County Coroner, shall determine if the remains are of Native American origin. b. Stop work and isolate discovery site (3) c. If Human Remains are Native American (1) The Coroner shall notify the Native American Historic Commission (NAHC). (By law, ONLY the Coroner can make this call.) NAHC will identify the person or persons it believes to be the Most Likely Descendent (MLD). The MLD may make recommendations to the landowner or PI responsible for the excavation work to determine the treatment, with appropriate dignity, of the human remains and any associated grave goods (PRC 5097.98). (2) (3) d. If Human Remains are not Native American (1) The PI shall contact the NAHC and notify them of the historical (2) (3) context of the burial. NAHC will identify the person or persons it believes to be the MLD. The MLD may make recommendations to the landowner or PI responsible for the excavation work to determine the treatment of the human remains (PRC 5097.98). If the remains are of historic origin, they shall be appropriately removed and conveyed to the Museum of Man for analysis. The decision for reinterment of the human remains shall be made in consultation with ECOP, the landowner, the NAHC and the Museum of Man. (4) e. Disposition of Human Remains The landowner, or his authorized representative, shall reinter the Native American human remains and any associated grave goods, with appropriate dignity, on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance, IF: (1) The NAHC is unable to identify the MLD, OR the MLD failed to make a recommendation within 24 hours after being notified by the Commission; OR; PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3 -9 (2) The landowner or authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the MLD and mediation in accordance with PRC 5097.94 (k) by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.. . 5. Notification of Completion The Archaeologist shall notify the ECOP, in writing of the end date of monitoring. Post Construction 1. Handling and Curation of Artifacts and Letter of Acceptance The Archaeologist shall be responsible for ensuring that all cultural remains collected are cleaned, catalogued, and permanently curated with an appropriate institution; that a letter of acceptance from the curation institution has been submitted to the Planning Development; that all artifacts are analyzed to identify function and chronology as they relate to the history of the area; that faunal material is identified as to species; and that specialty studies are completed, as appropriate. Curation of artifacts associated with the survey, testing andor data recovery for this project shall be completed in consultation with ECOP and the Native American representative, as applicable. Final Results Reports (Monitoring and Research Design and Data Recovery Program) a. Within three months following the completion of monitoring, two copies of the Final Results Report (even if negative) andor evaluation report, if applicable, which describes the results, analysis, and conclusions of the Archaeological Monitoring Program (with appropriate graphics) shall be submitted to ECOP for approval. For significant archaeological resources encountered during monitoring, the Research Design and Data Recovery Program shall be included as part of the Final Results Report. a. b. 2. b. 3. Recording Sites with State of California Department of Park and Recreation The Archaeologist shall be responsible for recording (on the appropriate State of California Department of Park and Recreation forms-DPR 523 A/B) any significant or potentially significant resources encountered during the Archaeological Monitoring Program in accordance with the City’s Historical Resources Guidelines, and submittal of such forms to the South Coastal Information Center with the Final Results Report. 3.4 RECOMMENDED MITIGATION MEASURES The recommended survey, testing, and mitigation programs where necessary, for the sites with undetermined site status are based on CEQA and City of Carlsbad Guidelines (Table 3-1). For undeveloped lands, those project components, which have not been previously surveyed, and, due to the high sensitivity of prehistoric sites near lagoons, all project components within one-half mile of a lagoon will need to be surveyed to identify the presence or absence of cultural resources. For all sites located withn undeveloped land, surface collections should be used to determine the site limits and areas of artifact concentrations in order to ascertain placement of test units and shovel test pits (STPs) andor backhoe trenches. Excavation units (1x1-m) should be those areas where ground stone, fire-altered rock, or a concentration of flaked material occur. Backhoe trenching is PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3-10 recommended at those sites where deep subsurface deposits (i.e., historic privies or dumps or subsurface prehistoric deposits) are possible. For all sites located within developed land, a field visit to spot check the area, and a construction monitoring program are recommended. Monitoring is recommended for sites that have been previously addressed as to mitigation of impacts through a data recovery program, as additional unknown buried deposits may still be present. For the historic sites, the test program should include a literaturehstoric files review, mapping of any remaining structures, and mechanical backhoe trenching when applicable for determining the location of historic dumps. Mitigation through data recovery and all reports should follow City of Carlsbad Guidelines (1980). _.. 3.5 SUMMARY The literature review and record search identified 87 studies conducted within or immediately adjacent to the WSMP study area. Data gaps include the unevenness of the archaeological record and varied quality of the previously recorded cultural resource database. Primarily as a result of these studies, 63 cultural resources were recorded within or adjacent to the WSMP study area. Of the 63 sites, a total of 33 sites have been recorded within the Water Project Components, and a total of 34 sites have been recorded within the Sewer Project Components. Nine sites were identified as not significant, 4 sites were identified as sigmficant, 48 sites were identified as unknown site status, and 2 sites were identified as unknown site status for portions of the sites. These cultural resources were typed by Gallegos & Associates as: 9 habitation sites; 35 artifact scatters; 3 artifact scatterdmilling stations; 2 lithic scatters; 5 shell scatters; 3 historic sites; 1 isolate; and 3 sites identified as unknown. Under CEQA and City Guidelines, impacts and mitigation of impacts cannot be addressed until site significance has been determined. Field surveys need to be conducted for those areas of undeveloped lands and spot-check field visits need to be conducted in developed areas within the Carlsbad WSMP study area to identify the presence or absence of cultural resources. Recommendations for sites that have not been tested to determine site significance are shown on Table 3- 1. Sites that have been previously tested and identified as significant need to be addressed as to impacts and mitigation of impacts. Mitigation of impacts can be achieved through avoidance or through the completion of a data recovery program. Monitoring is recommended for sites within the WSMP, as well as sites that have PJ. 12-03 May 2003 3-11 been previously addressed as to mitigation of impacts through a data recovery program, as burials may still be present.

CITY COUNCIL CERTIFICATIONSCITY COUNCIL CERTIFICATIONSCITY COUNCIL CERTIFICATIONSCITY COUNCIL CERTIFICATIONS In accordance with Section 15090 of the Guidelines, the City Council certifies that: 1. The Final Program EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and CEQA Guidelines. 2. The Final Program EIR was presented to the City Council and the City Council reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final Program EIR prior to adopting the proposed Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates. 3. The Final Program EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City Council and contains sufficient information and analysis to allow the City Council to make an informed decision, considering the environmental implication of the proposed project, mitigation measures, and alternatives. 4. The project qualifies as an action that has been determined by the state Legislature pursuant to Section 15273 (Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges) to be statutorily exempt from CEQA. SECTION 2.SECTION 2.SECTION 2.SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS NOT REQUIRINGENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS NOT REQUIRINGENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS NOT REQUIRINGENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS NOT REQUIRING MITIGATIONMITIGATIONMITIGATIONMITIGATION The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that the following potential environmental impacts of the Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates are less than significant and therefore do not require the imposition of mitigation measures. It should be noted the City has included commitments in the project design (called project design features and construction measures) that serve to reduce the environmental impacts of the project. The project design features and construction measures are not included in the Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (Exhibit C). A.A.A.A. AesAesAesAestheticstheticstheticsthetics Most projects are below-ground installations and would have no visual effect when completed in existing road rights-of-way (Draft Program EIR, p. 4-8). The large majority of projects would fall in this category, because there would be no permanent visual effects (Ibid.). Visual disturbance from construction is short term in nature, and the City has included commitments in the project design to restore road surfaces, in both public and private rights-of-way, to their pre-existing visual condition or better (Ibid.). Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 2 Although the City has its own Scenic Corridor Guidelines, it is anticipated that due to the nature of the project, motorists would not be able to view project construction for any substantial length of time. Any project-related lighting would be short-term and would not remain after the construction period. New light sources associated with the project would be regulated by local ordinance and are not expected to result in an intrusion to the surrounding area. Impacts would not be significant (Draft Program EIR, p. 4-5). Although some of the aboveground projects would be located near scenic vistas in the City, these facilities would be designed to protect those vistas through the use of vegetative screens, fencing, and paint. Also, there are no State scenic highways in the project study area; therefore, no impacts would occur (Ibid.). No mitigation is required (Ibid.). Cumulative impacts related to aesthetics for the CIP projects are not considered significant, since they are expected features in the developed landscape, are mostly underground, are modifications to existing facilities, and would receive design review for conformance with community aesthetic standards in future environmental documentation and/or project design review (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-2). B.B.B.B. Air QualityAir QualityAir QualityAir Quality All project components would result in less than significant effects for air quality (Draft Program EIR, pps. 4.2-8; 4.2-9; 4.2-10). Also, no long-term effects to air quality are anticipated as a result of implementation of the Master Plan Updates (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.2-9). Air quality impacts will result primarily from short-term construction activities, emissions from vehicles used by the Districts’ employees, the operation of other power-consuming city facilities and from dust generated by surface disturbance to construct the project (Draft Program EIR, pps. 4.2-8; 4.2-9). Heavy equipment (mainly diesel-powered) will generate exhaust emissions from on-site activity (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.2-9). During construction, it was determined that the active disturbance area on any given day would be no more than approximately 200 feet by 30 feet at any given site, or 0.14 acre. Daily regional PM10 emissions would be approximately 3.5 pounds per day for each area of construction. Even if multiple segments were under construction, the PM10 emissions would still be substantially less than the significance threshold of 150 pounds per day (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.2-8). PM10 emissions resulting from project construction would be considered less than significant (Ibid.). However, the PM10 levels in the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB) are above the state standard; therefore, therefore, while PM10 emissions during construction are short-term and less Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 3 than significant, measures are required to minimize the generation of airborne dust to the maximum extent feasible (Ibid.). These measures have been incorporated into the project by design (Ibid.). Dust deposited on parked cars, outdoor furniture or other exposed surfaces from construction related activities may create a soiling nuisance. Project design features included in Table 2-5 of the Draft Program EIR (p. 2-27) would ensure effects would be less than significant (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.2-8). Total daily construction activity impacts from equipment exhaust and fugitive dust would not likely result in impacts that would exceed identified significance thresholds, and would be less than significant (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.2-9). However, the O3 and PM10 levels in the SDAB are above national and state AAQS; therefore, while combustion emissions during construction are short-term and less than significant, project design features have been incorporated into the project to reduce effects to the extent feasible (Ibid.). The air basin is currently in a non-attainment zone for ozone and suspended fine particulates. The proposed project would represent a contribution to a cumulatively considerable potential net increase in emissions throughout the air basin (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.2-10). However, emissions associated with the proposed project would be minimal (Ibid.). Given the limited emissions potentially associated with the proposed project, air quality would be essentially the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented. The proposed project’s contribution to the cumulative impact is not meaningful, and impacts would be less than significant (Ibid.). The proposed project would not result in substantial pollutant emissions or concentrations (Ibid.). While sensitive receptors (e.g., schools or hospitals) exist in the vicinity of most of the project components, project design features to limit emissions and dust would help to maintain impacts at less than significant levels (Ibid.). The construction of the proposed project could generate fumes from the operation of construction equipment, which may be considered objectionable by some people. Such exposure would be short-term or transient. In addition, the number of people exposed to such transient impacts is not considered substantial, and odor impacts during construction of the project components would be less than significant (Ibid.). Cumulatively, strategies for the control of both point-source and mobile pollution generation are the responsibility of the APCD. APCD rules and regulations apply uniformly throughout the District and the rest of the air basin and to all potential sources of pollutant emissions. Thus, air pollution control is applied on a cumulative basis. As noted in Section 4.2 of the Draft Program Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 4 EIR, the proposed Master Plan Updates are consistent with the growth assumptions of the regional air quality plan and incorporate all feasible and available air quality control measures through regulation by APCD. Also, the RAQS is based on development as planned under the applicable general plans. The Master Plans are consistent with the planned development as identified in the City of Carlsbad General Plan; therefore, the project is consistent with the RAQS (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-2). Cumulative effects would be less than significant (Ibid.). C.C.C.C. Biological ResourcesBiological ResourcesBiological ResourcesBiological Resources Fifty-eight of the project components would not result in significant biological resource impacts based on the program level of analysis (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.3-14). The majority of these facilities are located in existing disturbed areas including road rights-of-way. Impacts to biological resources would be less than significant due to the levels of disturbance resulting from previous development activities (Ibid.). Impacts would be less than significant to vegetation species and communities, wildlife, wetlands and waters, regional corridors and linkages, and regional resource planning, and no mitigation is required for impacts resulting from the 58 components (Ibid.). Additional biological resource impacts are identified in Sections 3 and 4 below. D.D.D.D. Cultural ResourcesCultural ResourcesCultural ResourcesCultural Resources A total of 63 cultural resource sites have been identified within the study area (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-8). Thirty out of 50 Water Master Plan projects would not result in significant impacts to cultural resources, as they are located in urban and disturbed settings such as within streets or parking lots (Draft Program EIR, pps. 4.4-8, 4.4-9, and 4.4-10). For projects in the Sewer Master Plan Update, 19 out of 34 would not result in significant impacts (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-10, 4.4-11, and 4.4-12). Impacts to cultural resources would be less than significant due to the levels of disturbance resulting from previous development activities, and no mitigation is required for impacts for these project components (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-8). Additional cultural resource impacts are identified in Section 3 below. Regarding potential cumulative effects, the City requires an evaluation of cultural resources as a part of environmental review for land development projects needing discretionary approval from the City. As part of that review, all cultural resources sites would be evaluated for importance and, if found to be significant, either preserved or mitigated by the recovery of all relevant scientific information represented by the site. The same procedures are followed by other agencies whose projects may affect cultural resources in the City, such as Caltrans and SDGE. Section 4.4 of the Draft Program EIR established similar mitigation requirements for all Master Plan components that may impact cultural resources. Because this uniform policy is designed in Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 5 each case to reduce impacts on cultural resources to below a level of significance on site-specific basis, cumulative impacts would be less than significant (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-3). E.E.E.E. Geology and SoilsGeology and SoilsGeology and SoilsGeology and Soils At this program level of analysis, the actual level of impact to geology and soils cannot be determined (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.5-5). That is, project components would require site- specific geotechnical studies for engineering and design, which would determine the actual level of environmental impact (Ibid.). These future geotechnical investigations will describe site- specific conditions and suggest mitigation measures for the issues outlined in the Program EIR. As such, impacts would be presumably reduced to less than significant at the project level once detailed project data can be assessed and mitigation measures are implemented (Ibid.). No unmitigable significant effects are anticipated (Ibid.). Potentially significant construction-related impacts associated with the Master Plan Updates include encountering unstable soil and rock conditions and exposure of oversize rock material during grading (Ibid.). The design of each project component would be accompanied by a geotechnical evaluation that would indicate if such hazards were present. If the geotechnical study so indicated, the proposed facility site would be relocated to a nonhazardous area. The specific soil types each project component will impact at this time are unknown (Ibid.). Assuming a site-specific geotechnical study is completed, additional information regarding content, expansiveness, stability, potential for subsidence and compactibility will be determined during project planning and design. Appropriate mitigation measures would be incorporated into the design to reduce the potential for significant effects. Also, septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal methods are not proposed as part of the Master Plans. For this program level of analysis, impacts would be less than significant (Ibid.). During the construction of proposed Master Plan components, erosion could be accelerated which could undermine slopes, create siltation of surface waters, and expose and damage underground facilities (Ibid.). All construction must be performed in accordance with the requirements of the Carlsbad Grading Ordinance, which requires the control of erosion during construction and the stabilization of all disturbed surfaces upon completion of construction. It is not anticipated that the project would result in substantial soil erosion or significant losses of topsoil (Ibid.). The proposed project components may be locally subject to seismically induced secondary effects related to liquefaction, lateral spreading, local subsidence of soil, and vibrational damage (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.5-6). Pipelines are replaced or rehabilitated typically by trenching and Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 6 backfill, underground. The pipe is supported on bedding material, and at least six to eight inches of clearance is left between the pipe and trench walls. Suitable granular pipe zone material is placed around and on top of the pipe. Backfill must consist of suitable material, free of organic material, debris, and large rocks. This construction method absorbs energy during seismic events and relieves susceptibility to ground motion that would cause rupture of the pipe. Because of the construction specifications described above, impacts associated with seismic hazard are not considered significant (Ibid.). No project components are located within designated Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ)-1 or MRZ- 2 zones (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.5-7). The South Coast Materials Company Carlsbad Quarry and associated MRZ-2 zone are located east of and away from project components. There would not be impacts to the known aggregate resources associated with the quarry (Ibid.). The remaining components of the Master Plans are all located within MRZ-3 zones (Ibid.). Due to the necessity of performing a site-specific geotechnical investigation, additional information regarding the unknown content of MRZ-3 zones will be explored at the time of project-specific detailed planning and engineering studies. Due to the general nature of information available at this program level of analysis, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant (Ibid.). Regarding cumulative impacts, geologic/soils hazards associated with cumulative development within the City would be evaluated on a site-specific basis (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-4). Geologic and soils impacts and required mitigation would be evaluated on the respective properties and projects on a project-by-project basis through the use of geotechnical reports and Phase I Site Assessments (Ibid.). Therefore, with implementation of recommended mitigation measures on a project-by-project basis, no significant cumulative geologic/soils impacts are anticipated and no mitigation is required (Ibid.). F.F.F.F. Hazards and Hazardous MaterialsHazards and Hazardous MaterialsHazards and Hazardous MaterialsHazards and Hazardous Materials The storage of chemicals and use of petroleum fuel will be required for stationary engines present at some of the pump stations during operation of the proposed project (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.6-4). The use, storage, transportation, and disposal of these substances is regulated by the County Department of Hazardous Waste Management, and will be conducted according to all applicable state, federal and local regulations. The adherence to statutory standards and practices of the proposed project components will reduce the risk of an explosion or release of hazardous substances to the environment due to an accident or upset conditions. Also, no use of extremely hazardous materials such as gaseous chlorine or other chemicals is proposed; therefore, impacts would not be significant (Ibid.). Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 7 Several project components would be located within the McClellan-Palomar Airport Influence Area and Flight Activity Zone (FAZ) (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.6-5). The project does not propose “intensive development” involving large groups of people, and a permanent hazard within the airport land use plan would not occur (Ibid.). Impacts would not be significant (Ibid.). Due to the undeveloped nature of land and potentially flammable materials surrounding several project components, construction would pose a slight risk of wildland fires (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.6-6). The project design feature listed in Table 2-5 of the Draft Program EIR to prepare a brush management plan and to disseminate fire safety information to construction crews would help to ensure impacts would not be significant (Ibid.). Due to the unknown nature of potential hazardous material sites in the project area and other potential impacts discussed in Section 4.6 of the Draft Program EIR, additional project-level analysis is required to determine the significance of potential hazard effects for all project components (Draft Program EIR, p. 4-6.5). However, with implementation of standard conditions, any potential impacts to hazards and hazardous materials will be reduced to a less than significant level (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.6-4). Cumulative hazards and hazardous materials impacts and any potential mitigation would be evaluated on a project-by-project basis as minimal information is available at this program level of analysis (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-4). No significant cumulative hazards and hazardous materials impacts are anticipated (Ibid.). G.G.G.G. Land Use and PlanningLand Use and PlanningLand Use and PlanningLand Use and Planning Most of the projects included in the Master Plan Update are below-ground facilities such as pipelines which are installed in easements or rights-of-way and do not have local land use effects of significance after installation or rehabilitation, except when maintenance is required (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.8-3). No mitigation is required (Ibid.). The Master Plan Updates have been designed to be consistent with and implement the policies of the affected jurisdictional general plan land use elements and community facilities elements in an orderly and integrated fashion (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.8-6). From a standpoint of local land use designations and zoning, all of the project components in the Master Plan Updates are either compatible with local land use regulations or would be compatible, subject to use permit limitations (Ibid.). The coastal zone for the City of Carlsbad is located to the west of El Camino Real. As portions of the proposed project are located to the west of El Camino Real it has the potential to affect the Coastal Zone and will be subject to a Coastal Development Permit. The project would not Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 8 conflict with any existing general plan, coastal plan or any other land use plan or policy (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.8-7). Consequently, no adverse impact to land use planning would result from implementation of the Master Plan Updates and no mitigation is required (Ibid.). Facilities and improvements proposed in the Master Plan Updates are based on growth and population projections derived from SANDAG population estimates and projections. In the course of preparing the Master Plan Updates, existing, proposed and designated land uses were used to generate the capacity data for the modeling of the systems that revealed deficiencies and indicated the need for improvements or new facilities. The location, capacity, and phasing of projects in the Master Plan Updates conform to existing and planned uses overall (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-5) The Master Plan Updates projects do not affect land use in the affected jurisdiction, but are designed to match the necessary infrastructure for wastewater in support of the land uses (Ibid.). Adoption of the Master Plan Updates, when considered together with the general plans and other planning for the affected jurisdictions, would not result in significant land use impacts, but would support the jurisdictions’ existing land uses, and development in conformance with applicable general plans (Ibid.). No significant cumulative land use impacts would occur with the proposed Master Plan Updates (Ibid.). H.H.H.H. AgriculAgriculAgriculAgricultural Resourcestural Resourcestural Resourcestural Resources Implementation of the two Master Plan Updates will not result in significant impacts to agricultural resources (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-4). The project, located mostly within existing or future streets and disturbed areas, would not result in the conversion of important farmlands to non-agricultural uses, and will not conflict with any Williamson Act contracts in the City (Draft Program EIR, pps. 6-4 and 6-5). IIII.... EnergyEnergyEnergyEnergy The projects proposed in the two Master Plan Updates would not significantly affect local or regional energy supplies, nor would the projects conflict with adopted energy conservation plans (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-5). The proposed power-consuming facilities (i.e., pump stations and lift stations) would incorporate new energy-efficient technologies, which utilize non-renewable resources in an efficient manner. Energy consumption from construction-related activities necessary for development of the proposed facilities would be relatively minor and impacts would not be significant to existing energy resources (Ibid.).

In these instances, coordination would be made with SDGE to ensure that the utility provider would be able to adequately access their facilities. It is not anticipated that relocation of any SDGE facilities is required for implementation of the various water and sewer project components. Nonetheless, access and potential relocation issues, as well as grading or encroachment into SDGE rights-of- way, would be determined at the project level of analysis for each project component (Ibid.). Impacts would not be significant at this program level of analysis (Ibid.). J.J.J.J. Population and HousingPopulation and HousingPopulation and HousingPopulation and Housing The proposed Master Plan Updates would extend and improve existing water supply and sewer infrastructure within the City in accordance with regional population projections and as needed by the demand that the forecasted additional population would place upon these services. The proposed projects would be phased so that the infrastructure would be developed concurrently with the increased housing demand and population. The Master Plan Updates would not result in significant impacts to the City’s projected population and housing needs (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-5). K.K.K.K. Public ServicesPublic ServicesPublic ServicesPublic Services The implementation of the Master Plan Updates would not require new services for the following: fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, or other public facilities; no impact would occur (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-5). The project would not affect existing primary and secondary schools within the area (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-6). Implementation of the project in the manner or location planned would not result in impacts to proposed schools (Ibid.). Additional demands on existing public parks would not occur (Ibid.). New or improved park facilities would not be necessary as a result of implementing the project (Ibid.). The proposed project would not exceed official regional or local population projections (Ibid.). The size, capacity, and location of all facilities would be based on the population and land use analysis contained in the Master Plan Updates which, in turn, is based on forecast growth identified in the City of Carlsbad General Plan, and systems would be sized appropriately to serve projected service populations (Ibid.).

The Districts are both obligated to coordinate all construction, repair, and maintenance activities with all park and recreation agencies whose facilities may be affected in the planning stage. Consequently, the required coordination with the affected agencies would reduce the potential conflicts to a less than significant level (Ibid.). The project would not result in increased demand for recreational uses, or prevent access to parks or recreational facilities (Ibid.). M.M.M.M. Utilities and Service SystemsUtilities and Service SystemsUtilities and Service SystemsUtilities and Service Systems The proposed projects to be developed with implementation of the two Master Plan Updates would not significantly affect utilities and service systems (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-6). The proposed facilities would not place substantial demands upon the City’s utilities such as power and natural gas (Ibid.). The project facilities’ impacts on the area’s communications systems would occur as necessary safety and operating measures. Overall, these would be short-term minor impacts (Ibid.).

The potentially significant impacts and the mitigation measures that will reduce the impacts to a less than significant level are as follows: A.A.A.A. Biological ResourcesBiological ResourcesBiological ResourcesBiological Resources 1. Potential Significant Impacts Twenty-six (out of a total of 84) project components would result in potentially significant impacts to biological resources (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.3-14). Each of these components occurs within or adjacent to known sensitive habitat or species localities and most are within Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 11 designated standards or hardline conservation areas (Ibid.). As such, implementation of each component identified below has the potential to directly or indirectly affect a sensitive resource and/or affect the establishment of an effective regional preserve system (Ibid.). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that with the implementation of the following mitigation measures, potential biological resource impacts will be reduced to the extent feasible: Following project-level resource mapping and identification of precise implementation methods and location, significant adverse impacts to biological resources can generally be avoided or mitigated through incorporation of one or all of the following measures: ! Avoidance and minimization of impacts through project redesign or implementation of construction restrictions including seasonal restrictions (these measures would likely need to be ensured through construction monitoring adjacent to sensitive resource areas); ! Conservation of like habitat near to project impact area through dedication of a conservation easement and management endowment; and/or ! Enhancement, restoration, and/or creation of habitats affected by the project with methodologies approved by the City and resource agencies. 3. Supporting Explanation Project components would temporarily and directly impact agriculture, grassland, riparian scrub, riparian forest, oak woodlands, oak riparian forests and eucalyptus woodland habitats during construction of the project (Draft Program EIR, pps. 4.3-14 through 4.3-21). Direct impacts to these vegetation communities are considered significant and mitigation is required. Direct impacts to wildlife species may occur for project components as a result of habitat removal or specific impacts to individual species (Ibid.). Many components are proposed in habitats that support one if not all life cycle stages of narrow endemic or federally or state-listed threatened or endangered species (Ibid.). Direct impacts to wildlife species are considered significant and mitigation is required (Ibid.). Indirect impacts to wildlife species would occur as a result of both construction and operation of the project components (Ibid.). Indirect impacts would be associated with an increase in human presence and noise generated from construction (Ibid.). Indirect impacts associated with increased human presence as a result of potential new maintenance roadways or paths would Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 12 occur once construction is complete (Ibid.). An increased ability for humans to access sensitive habitat areas can increase the chances for illegal hunting or harvesting in addition to general disturbance (Ibid.). These potential indirect impacts are considered significant, and mitigation is required (Ibid.). Project components may impact wetland and water resources during project rehabilitation and maintenance activities (Ibid.). Direct impacts to wetlands, including draining, filling or otherwise manipulating the natural hydrologic regime or vegetative community, are considered significant, requiring mitigation measures to reduce the level of effect (Ibid.). Project components may indirectly impact wetland and water resources in the form of water pollution as a result of runoff from construction staging areas and permanent maintenance access roads (Ibid.). Indirect impacts to these sensitive resources would be considered significant, requiring mitigation (Ibid.). Project components may impact designated wildlife corridors within the study area (Ibid.). Although these impacts could be temporarily significant due to obstruction of wildlife pathways or vegetation disruption during construction, all project areas would be covered and vegetation would be restored to its previous condition (Ibid.). Long-term, direct impacts would be less than significant, since no long-term linear barriers to wildlife movement would result (Ibid.). Implementation of these components within wildlife movement areas could have indirect impacts related to increased human presence and noise both during and after construction (Ibid.). Increased human presence could reduce the likelihood of future wildlife use of the area and therefore push species into more marginal habit or cut off wildlife movement (Ibid.). Indirect impacts to wildlife movement corridors are considered significant, requiring mitigation (Ibid.). Project components may impact areas designated for protection under the MHCP or the specific guidelines of the City of Carlsbad Subarea Plan (Ibid.). Potential conflicts with a regional resource planning tool such as the MHCP is considered a significant impact; therefore mitigation is required (Ibid.). With implementation of standard conditions and the above listed mitigation measures, any potential impacts to biological resources will be reduced to a less than significant level (Draft EIR, p. 4-47). Findings for additional biological resource impacts are described in Sections 2 and 4.

Cultural ResourcesCultural ResourcesCultural ResourcesCultural Resources 1. Potential Significant Impacts A total of 63 cultural resource sites have been identified within the study area (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-8). Twenty out of 50 Water Master Plan projects would result in potentially significant impacts to cultural resources (Draft Program EIR, pps. 4.4-8, 4.4-9, and 4.4-10). For projects in the Sewer Master Plan Update, 15 out of 34 would result in potentially significant impacts (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-10, 4.4-11, and 4.4-12). Mitigation would be required (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-8). Due to the site-specific nature of cultural resources, a mitigation program must be implemented, as identified in pps. 4.4-12 through 4.4-21 of the Draft Program EIR. Additional cultural resource impacts are identified in Section 2 above. Implementation of the proposed Master Plan facilities could involve grading and excavation activities within fossil-bearing geologic formations which could potentially impact significant paleontological resources (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-12). Specific locations of potential impact would be those locations considered to be high- to moderately sensitive in paleontological resources. It should be noted that specific information would become available at the time of grading. Construction of new facilities may disturb fossil-bearing geological strata in almost any location in the city (Ibid.). Pipelines are generally constructed in road rights-of -way or existing easements where strata have already been disturbed, so that the potential for intact fossils representing significant paleontological information is low (Ibid.). The same condition will prevail at sites of lift stations, reservoirs, and pump stations where prior construction has extensively disturbed the underlying earth materials (Ibid.). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that with the implementation of the following mitigation measures, potential impacts to cultural resources will be reduced to less than significant: ! Obtain permission from private landowners to survey the fields and yards in order to determine presence/absence of cultural resources. If cultural resources are located then mitigation measure [2] is recommended. Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 14 ! Test those sites that have not yet been tested so a determination of significance can be made. If the resource is determined to be significant, mitigate through avoidance. If avoidance is not feasible, then mitigation through a data recovery program (see mitigation measure [3]). ! If site avoidance, the preferred mitigation measure, is not feasible, then a data recovery program should be completed to recover a large enough sample of cultural material so that information of importance in addressing regional research questions will not be irretrievable lost through impacts. ! Provide a qualified archaeological monitor during construction so that buried cultural resources can be identified in the field. Upon identification, the resource should be tested (mitigation measure [2]) to determine significance with appropriate mitigation measures as necessary. Monitoring ProgramMonitoring ProgramMonitoring ProgramMonitoring Program An additional mitigation measure is intended for many sites within the study area that are located within developed areas. For these sites, a monitoring program, rather than a test program, is recommended if construction is to occur within or adjacent to the site. Components of such a monitoring program would include, but not be limited to the following: Prior to Preconstruction (Precon) Meeting 1. Planning Department Plan Check a. Prior to the first Precon Meeting, the Environmental Compliance Officer/Planner (ECO/P) of the Planning Department shall verify that the requirements for Archaeological Monitoring and Native American monitoring, if applicable, have been noted on the appropriate construction documents. 2.

Precon Meeting 1. Monitor Shall Attend Precon Meetings a. Prior to beginning any work that requires monitoring, the Applicant shall arrange a Precon Meeting that shall include the Archaeologist, Construction Manager, and/or Grading Contractor. The qualified Archaeologist shall attend any grading related Precon Meetings to make comments and/or suggestions concerning the Archaeological Monitoring program with the Construction Manager and/or Grading Contractor. 2. Identify Areas to be Monitored a. At the Precon Meeting, the Archaeologist shall submit to ECO/P a copy of the site/grading plan (reduced to 11x17) that identifies areas to be monitored as well as areas that may require delineation of grading limits. During Construction 1.

Paleontological Resources 1. Projects that may impact paleontologically sensitive areas (i.e., formations that have been assigned high or moderate paleontological resource sensitivity), will require paleontological monitoring onsite during all phases of initial and subsequent cutting of undisturbed formational sediments in order to make salvage collections of any invertebrate, vertebrate or paleobotanical fossils that are encountered or unearthed. 2. Collected fossils shall be cleaned and/or prepared to a point of identification, and then curated to museum standards (cataloging of locality and specimen data, numbering, identification, labeling) before being deposited in an appropriate public facility (or facilities) that can provide permanent archival storage (so that specimens are available for future scientific study). A report detailing the mitigation shall be prepared, even if negative, which will include necessary maps, graphics, and fossil lists to document the paleontological monitoring program. 3. Paleontological monitoring will be required for all exposures of the Santiago Formation and of Pleistocene marine terrace and estuarine deposits. A museum collections and records search will precede any field work, in order to more precisely define any areas that might need particular attention during monitoring of construction related activities. Monitoring is not necessary in areas mapped as granitic (tonalite, gabbro) or metavolcanic rock.

These general guidelines shall be followed when planning for a project component which requires paleontological monitoring: a. The paleontologist or paleontological monitor shall attend any preconstruction/ pregrading meetings to consult with City/District staff and the excavation contractor. b. The paleontologist or paleontological monitor shall be onsite full-time during excavation into previously undisturbed formations. The monitoring time may be decreased at the discretion of the paleontologist in consultation with the City/District. c. If significant fossils are encountered, the paleontologist shall have the authority to divert or temporarily halt construction activities in the area of discovery to allow recovery of fossil remains, and shall immediately contact the City/District. The determination of significance shall be at the discretion of the paleontologist. d. Construction activities in the area of discovery shall resume upon notification by the paleontologist that fossil remains have been recovered. The paleontologist shall be responsible for preparation of fossils to a point of identification and submittal of a letter of acceptance from a local qualified curation facility. The paleontologist shall record any discovered fossil sites at the San Diego Natural History Museum. e. Within three months following termination of the paleontological monitoring program, the contractor shall provide a monitoring letter report (with appropriate graphics) to the City/District summarizing the results (even if negative), analyses and conclusions of the above program. 3. Supporting Explanation Gallegos & Associates performed a Cultural Resources Study for the project in May 2003 (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-1). The Cultural Resources Study included archaeological record and data review of the project area to determine the recorded patterns of cultural resources within the study area boundaries (Ibid.). From this information and current aerial photographs of the project locations, assessments could be made regarding the potential for cultural resources within the general vicinity of pipelines and facilities. This information also indicated where existing development has precluded the possibility of any cultural resources (Ibid.). Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 22 A record search was conducted at the South Coastal Information Center at San Diego State University and Gallegos & Associates library (Ibid.). The record searches principally focused on the locational information for recorded sites. The data from the Information Center was transferred onto the project maps to assess possible conflicts with proposed master plan components (Ibid.). The data was also compared to the project aerial photograph series to determine where recorded archaeological sites were destroyed by previous development (Ibid.). No surveys were conducted, principally due to the number of projects and miles of project components (Ibid.). The Draft Program EIR section identified those project components that would require additional cultural resource investigation when more detailed design project information becomes available (Ibid.). The Cultural Resource Study identified 20 out of 50 Water Master Plan projects that would result in potentially significant impacts to cultural resources (Draft Program EIR, pps. 4.4-8, 4.4-9, and 4.4-10). For projects in the Sewer Master Plan Update, 15 out of 34 would result in potentially significant impacts (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-10, 4.4-11, and 4.4-12). Because it is unknown whether cultural resources exist in undeveloped or undisturbed areas or the importance of known sites near the project components, cultural resource impacts are potentially significant, and mitigation would be required (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-8). Construction of new facilities may disturb fossil-bearing geological strata in almost any location in the city (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-12). Pipelines are generally constructed in road rights-of - way or existing easements where strata have already been disturbed, so that the potential for intact fossils representing significant paleontological information is low (Ibid.). The same condition will prevail at sites of lift stations, reservoirs, and pump stations where prior construction has extensively disturbed the underlying earth materials (Ibid.). With implementation of standard conditions and the above listed mitigation measures, any potential impacts to cultural resources and paleontological will be reduced to a less than significant level (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.4-21). CCCC.... Hydrology and Water QualityHydrology and Water QualityHydrology and Water QualityHydrology and Water Quality 1. Potential Significant Impacts Construction and operation of a number of project components may require dewatering in pipeline trenches in order to place infrastructures underground. Dewatering of groundwater may result in potential impacts to surface water quality due to the unknown chemical makeup of groundwater (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.7-8). Dewatering and discharge activities are subject to water quality guidelines outlined by the NPDES administered by the San Diego RWQCB. In Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 23 addition to dewatering, stockpiling of soil removed during construction of trenches may result in sediment-laden runoff from construction sites (Ibid.). The increase in total dissolved solids, minerals and other inorganic materials may enter local drainages and exceed water quality standards (Ibid.). Because violation of water quality standards may occur during dewatering, discharge, and trenching associated with construction of project components, impacts to water quality are considered potentially significant (Ibid.). There are a number of project components located adjacent to the Agua Hedionda Creek and Lagoon, and the Buena Vista Lagoon. These water bodies are identified on the SWRCB’s 2002 Section 303(d) List of Water Quality Limited Segments. Under Section 303(d) of the 1972 Clean Water Act, states, territories and authorized tribes are required to develop a list of water quality limited segments. The project components under both master plans that have the potential to affect the 303(d) water bodies are identified in Tables S-1 and S-2 of the Draft Program EIR and would result in potentially significant impacts to water quality (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.7-9). Impacts would also potentially occur to all project components located within the 100-year floodplain, as defined by FEMA (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.7-10). The potentially significant impacts would be associated with the loss of any project components as result of the scouring action by a flood (Ibid.). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that with the implementation of the following mitigation measures, potential impacts to hydrology and water quality will be reduced to less than significant: ! For projects proposed with the 100-year floodplain, a scour analysis of the floodplains associated with Buena Vista and Agua Hedionda creeks shall be completed during final project design to determine the likelihood for washout of a pipeline or project facility during a flood event. Design and construction specification of the pipeline will incorporate recommendations from the report to ensure that potential impacts from scouring do not comprise the integrity of the pipeline. The list of projects located within the 100-year floodplain is found in Tables S-1 and S-2 of the Draft Program EIR. ! Dewatering activities will be conducted in accordance with standard regulations of the RWQCB. A dewatering permit will be obtained. ! Discharge of groundwater will require a NPDES General Storm Water Permit that will include provisions for implementation of BMPs to reduce potential water quality impacts.

Material stockpiled during construction shall be placed such that interference with onsite drainage patterns will be minimized or avoided. During rain events, stockpiles shall be covered with impermeable materials such as tarps in order to allow flow from the construction site to occur without excessive sediment loading. ! Potential water quality impacts to 303(d) listed water bodies (Agua Hedionda Creek and Lagoon, Buena Vista Lagoon) will be assessed as part of project-level water quality analyses for each individual project component with a potential to affect these water bodies. The list of project components that would potentially affect the 303(d) water bodies is found in Tables S-1 and S-2 of the Draft Program EIR. 3. Supporting Explanation Construction and operation of a number of project components may require dewatering in pipeline trenches in order to place infrastructure underground (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.7-8). Dewatering of groundwater may result in potential impacts to surface water quality due to the unknown chemical makeup of groundwater (Ibid.). Dewatering and discharge activities are subject to water quality guidelines outlined by the NPDES administered by the San Diego RWQCB. Because violation of water quality standards may occur during dewatering or discharge, and trenching associated with construction of project components, potential impacts to water quality are considered significant (Ibid.). Regarding cumulative effects, runoff from project construction areas would contribute an incremental increase in flows within the Buena Vista and Agua Hedionda Creek basins and would combine with increases attributable to adjacent developments (Draft Program EIR, p. 5- 4). Total runoff in the creek basins would be short-term and would be cumulatively considerable (Ibid.). Project-by-project BMPs, including completing scour analyses for projects within 100- year floodplains and obtaining dewatering permits from RWQCB, would reduce sediment loads and downstream erosion to less than significant (Ibid.). In addition, compliance of all future projects with applicable federal, state and local regulations for stormwater and construction discharges would reduce cumulative impacts to water quality to a level below significance (Ibid.). With implementation of standard conditions and the above listed mitigation measures, the potential impacts related to hydrology and water quality described above will be reduced to a less than significant level (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.7-11).

NoiseNoiseNoiseNoise 1. Potential Significant Impacts Temporary impacts are usually associated with noise generated by construction activities. Long- term impacts are associated with impacts on surrounding land uses generated from operation and maintenance of the project related facilities. The construction noise specifics of the various phases of the project warrant additional analysis by technical noise studies prepared in accordance with the applicable CEQA guidelines; all project components would result in a potentially significant noise effect that would require site-specific mitigation measures to reduce impacts to less than significant levels (Draft Program EIR, p 4.9-3). It is assumed that potentially significant impacts would be mitigated by mitigation measures developed at the project level of analysis. Project related construction noise would have no impact within Open Space areas, as these areas are located in remote locations and devoid of sensitive receptors (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.9-5). However, the associated noise could potentially affect wildlife species which utilize the affected Open Space areas for habitat or migration (Ibid.). Operation of the project facilities would not create a significant impact on any sensitive receptors with regard to noise (Ibid.). Once constructed, the pipeline segments would not result in any noise impacts as the fluid flow of wastewater within an underground pipeline would not be audible (Ibid.). Occasional maintenance and emergency repair activities will generate some additional noise; however, these activities are sporadic in nature and do not occur at the same location for long periods of time (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.9-6). The following projects in the Master Plan Updates have the potential for significant noise impacts on nearby receptors: ! New water reservoir next to existing D-3 Reservoir (water component 27) ! New water reservoir adjacent to the existing Maerkle Reservoir (water component 28) ! Maerkle Pump Station Capacity Improvements (water component 29) ! Calavera PS Upgrades (water component 36) !

Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that with the implementation of the following mitigation measures, potential noise impacts will be reduced to less than significant: The projects designated for a noise study in Tables S-1 and S-2 of the Draft Program EIR shall be evaluated in the design and environmental Initial Study phases to determine if potential noise impacts in excess of City Noise Control Ordinance limits or the City’s Noise Guidelines Manual would result. If such a potential exists, a noise study shall be conducted including recommendations for mitigation. Mitigation shall be designed to assure that noise produced by operation of the facility shall not cause the limits in the Noise Control Ordinance or Noise Guidelines Manual to be exceeded, and any such mitigation shall be required as part of the project. Also, a site-specific acoustical analysis will be required for any project located within 500 feet of any residential dwellings, which will ensure compliance with the City’s construction noise and outdoor noise standards. 3. Supporting Explanation The highest noise levels associated with construction typically occur with earth moving equipment which includes excavating machinery (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.9-4). Noise levels at 50 feet from earth moving equipment typically range from 73 to 96 dBA (Ibid.). Construction and rehabilitation efforts for the project components would result in noise impacts to various types of sensitive receptors including, residences, businesses, schools, and libraries (Ibid.). However, this impact is temporary and would disappear once construction is completed (Ibid.). Provided that all construction activities take place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., no significant impacts would result from construction (Ibid.). Construction activities are not anticipated to exceed the noise standards of affected jurisdictions (Ibid.). To help minimize the impacts of construction the City shall provide public noticing for their proposed Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 27 construction activities, and will appoint a public liaison who will respond to concerns of neighboring residents about noise and other construction disturbance (Ibid.). Noise impacts from construction activities would be minimal within industrial and manufacturing districts, as these areas do not contain sensitive receptors and their associated ambient noise levels are generally high (Ibid.). Similarly, project related construction noise would have no impact within Open Space areas, as these areas are located in remote locations and devoid of sensitive receptors (Ibid.). No significant noise related impacts would occur within industrial, manufacturing or open space areas as a result of short-term construction activities (Ibid.). Once constructed, the pipeline segments would not result in any operational noise impacts as the fluid flow of wastewater within an underground pipeline would not be audible (Ibid.). Occasional maintenance and emergency repair activities will generate some additional noise; however, these activities are sporadic in nature and do not occur at the same location for long periods of time (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.9-6). Regarding cumulative effects, as development increases in the City, some increases in ambient noise levels is inevitable, with localized effects (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-5). This increase would be due primarily to traffic noise, as roads are constructed to serve new development, and to point sources of noise, such as manufacturing operations, auto repair shops, power tool use at residences and businesses, and a host of other activities associated with urban and suburban life (Ibid.). Some projects would contribute incrementally to this general pattern, especially during short-term construction activities (Ibid.). The City’s Noise Ordinance and Noise Guidelines Manual is designed to control the exposure of residents to excessive levels of noise. All CIP projects with a potential for long-term noise production would be evaluated for excessive noise generation and mitigation would be applied on a project-specific basis (Ibid.). Combined with regulation and attenuation of other sources consistent with the Noise Ordinance, the proposed Master Plan Updates’ contribution to cumulative noise impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required (Ibid.). With implementation of standard conditions and the above listed mitigation measure, any potential noise impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.9-7).

Transportation/TrafficTransportation/TrafficTransportation/TrafficTransportation/Traffic 1. Potential Significant Impacts The project would predominantly result in short-term traffic effects during construction of the various project components (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.10-3). The short-term effects would require additional review once detailed project construction plans become available, and accordingly, traffic impacts for the project components identified in Tables S-1 and S-2 of the Draft Program EIR would be potentially significant. Pipeline construction activities would require lane closures which could result in short-term impacts to traffic patterns and result in temporary traffic congestion and potential traffic hazards (Ibid.). Consequently, portions of the affected roadway links may require detours or flagger assistance to maintain acceptable operation of the roadways, and access to all properties (Ibid.). Closing or altering access to individual properties, lane closures, and subjecting any portion of existing roadways to notable increases in construction traffic are considered significant, and mitigation is required (Ibid.). SANDAG’s Congestion Management Plan (CMP) requires an enhanced CEQA review for all large projects that are expected to generate more than 2,400 ADT or more than 200 weekday peak hour trips. Since the project is calculated to generate less than these amounts, this level of review is not required of the proposed project and the project is consistent with the goals of the CMP (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.10-5). Similarly, SANDAG has produced a 2020 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) in April 2000 that identifies those project needed to improve transportation significantly over the next 20 years. The RTP contains plans and policies to improve mobility in the region by recommending new facilities and the expansion of transit services, programs to manage travel demand, and changes to local land use policies. The proposed project, although temporarily disrupting traffic flow on regional roadways during construction, would not conflict with overall goals of the RTP (Ibid.). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that with the implementation of the following mitigation measures, potential short-term noise impacts will be reduced to less than significant: ! The Districts will obtain an encroachment permit from respective local and state authorities, as required prior to the commencement of the construction phase within the affected right-of-ways. This process will include submittal of project plans, review of Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 29 plans by the respective authorities, possible revisions of the plans relative to concerns brought forth by the issuing agency and issuance of the respective permit. Potential permitting agencies include Caltrans, North County Transit District (NCTD), Cities, and the County of San Diego. All roadway features (signs, pavement, delineation, roadway surface) and structures with the State right-of-way shall be protected, maintained in a temporary condition, or restored. ! A TCP shall be prepared prior to construction and implemented for all affected roadways. The TCP shall be prepared in accordance with Caltrans Manual of Traffic Controls for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones [1996 (Revision 2) edition], and with the City of Carlsbad’s traffic control guidelines. It will be prepared to ensure that access will be maintained to individual properties and businesses, and that emergency access will not be restricted. Additionally, the TCP will ensure that congestion and delay of traffic resulting from project construction are not substantially increased and will be of a short- term nature. The TCP will show all signage, striping, delineate detours, flagging operations, and any other procedures which will be used during construction to guide motorists safely through the construction zone and allow for a minimum of one lane of travel. The TCP will also include provisions for coordinating with local emergency service providers regarding construction times and locations of lane closures as well as specifications for bicycle lane safety. The limits of construction work area(s) and suggested alternate traffic routes for through traffic will be published in a local newspaper periodically throughout the construction period. In addition, the construction contractor or the Districts shall provide not less than a two-week written notice prior to the start of construction by mailing to owners/ occupants along streets to be impacted during construction. During construction, the Districts shall ensure that continuous, unobstructed, safe and adequate pedestrian and vehicular access to and from public facilities such as public utility stations and community centers will be provided, and to commercial/ industrial establishments. If normal access to these facilities is blocked by construction alternative access shall be provided. Should this occur, the Districts shall coordinate with the businesses or each facility’s administrators in preparing a plan for alternative access. During construction, the Districts shall maintain continuous vehicular and pedestrian access to residential driveways from the public street to the private property line, except where necessary construction precludes such continuous access for reasonable periods of Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 30 time. For example, when a given pipeline segment is initially being excavated, access to individual driveways may be closed during the course of a workday. Access shall be reestablished at the end of the workday. If a driveway needs to be closed or interfered with as described above, the construction contractor shall notify the owner or occupant of the closure of the driveway at least five working days prior to the closure. Methods to maintain safe vehicular and pedestrian access include the installation of temporary bridge or steel plates to cross over unfilled excavations. Whenever sidewalks or roadways are removed for construction, the contractor shall place temporary sidewalks or roadways promptly after backfilling until the final restoration has been made. The TCP shall include provisions to ensure that the construction contractor’s work in any public street does not interfere unnecessarily with the work of other agencies vehicles, such as emergency service providers, mail delivery, school buses, waste services, or transit vehicles. • During project design, the Districts shall coordinate with each jurisdiction, as well as its own transit division which may be affected by the project to determine the exact limits of project construction. All work proposed within the State right-of-way shall be dimensioned in metric units. The coordination effort shall be followed by specific measures to avoid conflicts resulting from other construction projects occurring within the direct vicinity of the project and within the same time period. Coordination with the following entities shall occur in conjunction with the proposed project: a. NCTD b. Caltrans c. Carlsbad Traffic Engineering d. Oceanside Traffic Engineering e. San Marcos Traffic Engineering 3. Supporting Explanation Impacts were generally evaluated for portions of the proposed project that would require construction within existing streets (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.10-2). The operational phase of the proposed project would generate minimal traffic required for routine maintenance and emergency repair (Draft Program EIR, p. 4.10-3). Therefore, the proposed project would not result in long-term impacts to traffic (Ibid.). Short-term construction traffic would require implementation of a TCP (Ibid.). The project TCPs would need to be developed in accordance Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 31 with City of Carlsbad and Caltrans traffic control guidelines and that specifically address construction traffic, traffic safety measures, and use of signage and flag personnel where necessary (Ibid.). Traffic will be generated during project construction (Ibid.). The primary sources of construction traffic would be workers, delivery of materials and removal of excess material. Approximately 8 to 12 construction workers are expected on a daily basis for each segment of pipe being constructed and/or rehabilitated. An average of four trucks per day to and from the site is anticipated for delivery and removal of materials. A typical pipeline construction area is approximately 30 feet wide and would progress at a rate of approximately 200 feet per day (Ibid.). Regarding cumulative effects, the proposed project components in the Master Plan Update would contribute to short-term impacts to traffic circulation on local roadways (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-6). Potentially significant cumulative traffic circulation impacts could result over the short- term if multiple projects were under construction simultaneously and in the same general location (Ibid.). Short-term traffic impacts caused by construction of the projects proposed within the study area would result from street closures, increased truck traffic, and disruption of local traffic to residences and businesses (Ibid.). As the CIP projects would be phased over a 20- year period and would not proceed simultaneously, it is anticipated that cumulative short-term impacts to project component roadways could be mitigated to a level of less than significant through coordination and implementation of traffic control plans at the time of construction with the City Engineering Department (for impacts to City roads) and with the planning entities for the Cities of Oceanside and San Marcos (for impacts to roads within their respective jurisdictions) (Ibid.). Encroachment permits are required for all construction affecting public rights-of-way. This permitting process is the control point for the maximum possible reduction of cumulative traffic impacts, and is designed to reduce direct and cumulative impacts to below a level of significance (Ibid.). With implementation of standard conditions and the above listed mitigation measures, any potential transportation/traffic impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level (Draft Program EIR, p. 4-107).

A. A. A. Cumulative ImpactsCumulative ImpactsCumulative ImpactsCumulative Impacts————Biological ResourcesBiological ResourcesBiological ResourcesBiological Resources 1. Potential Significant Impacts The City is participating in the MHCP, which is intended to mitigate for the biological impacts of planned growth through the creation of a new process for the issuance of federal and state permits and other authorizations under federal and state law. The City of Carlsbad is developing its own Subarea Plan (the Habitat Management Plan) within the MHCP framework. The end result of the MHCP planning process is to provide a regional conservation plan to mitigate the cumulative effects of growth in the region. Cumulative impacts of Water and Sewer Master Plan projects occurring in the MHCP focused planning areas would be cumulatively significant considered together with other development projects in the City and region, due to temporary losses in habitat value. Mitigation would be accomplished through the assessment and mitigation of project-specific impacts as individual components of the Master Plans are implemented and, when the MHCP is implemented, through a regional conservation plan in cooperation with CDFG, USFWS, and other cities in the area. The City of Carlsbad HMP will address cumulative biological effects as part of the MHCP process; however, until that document is implemented, cumulative impacts would be significant and would remain unmitigated (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-3). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that with the implementation of the following mitigation measure, potential biological impacts of the Project will be reduced to the extent feasible: • Mitigation would be accomplished through the assessment and mitigation of project- specific impacts as individual components of the Master Plans are implemented and, when the MHCP is implemented, through a regional conservation plan in cooperation with CDFG, USFWS, and other cities in the area. (Draft Program EIR, p. 5-3). • The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or project alternatives that would sufficiently reduce Project impacts to a less than significant level at this program level of analysis. 3.

FINDINGS REGARDING PROJECT ALTERNATIVESFINDINGS REGARDING PROJECT ALTERNATIVESFINDINGS REGARDING PROJECT ALTERNATIVESFINDINGS REGARDING PROJECT ALTERNATIVES The Carlsbad City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding the feasibility of project alternatives. A.A.A.A. “No Project” Alternative“No Project” Alternative“No Project” Alternative“No Project” Alternative 1. Description Under this alternative, the proposed Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates would not be adopted by the City of Carlsbad. This does not mean, however, that the facilities in the Master Plan Updates or other facilities based on development and need in the city, would not be constructed. All projects in the Master Plan Updates could be constructed or implemented on an individual project basis whether or not the Master Plan Updates are adopted (Draft Program EIR, p. 7-2). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that the “No Project” Alternative is not feasible because it is not environmentally superior to the proposed Project and it fails to meet Project objectives. 3. Supporting Explanation Potential environmental impacts identified in the Draft Program EIR would still be likely to occur under the No Project Alternative (Draft Program EIR, p. 7-2). This alternative would, however, deprive the City of Carlsbad of a valuable planning tool, and one that is informative for those interested in the City’s future plans and facilities (Ibid.). Many of the projects in the Master Plan Updates are intended to remedy deficiencies that were identified in the modeling of the City’s water and sewer systems or to correct problems or potential problems in the operation of those systems. If the Master Plan Updates were not adopted, the deficiencies and potential problems would remain and would still require remedy through, in most cases, the improvement projects that make up the integrated programs in the Master Plan Update (Ibid.). Likewise, the new projects in the plan are predicated on the Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 34 improvements needed to make the system adequate to serve the city’s planned future growth (Ibid.). Under the No Project alternative, the same improvements would likely be brought forward for approval as individual projects, but in piecemeal fashion and not as an integrated program that had been evaluated as a single environmental project (Ibid.). In addition, the No Project alternative would deprive the City of the opportunity to streamline environmental review of future projects through the use of the Program EIR and subsequent updates (Ibid.). For these reasons, the No Project alternative offers no environmental advantages in procedures, impacts, or public information over the proposed Master Plan Update (Ibid.). B.B.B.B. Planning and Land Use AlternativesPlanning and Land Use AlternativesPlanning and Land Use AlternativesPlanning and Land Use Alternatives 1. Description The Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates were developed using the best available information on population growth; proposed, planned, and forecast growth and development; means of effluent disposal; requirements and recommendations for peak flows, volumes, and facility capacities; and other factors affecting future City wastewater utilities planning. The planning period for the Master Plan Updates is long-term, extending to 2020, and that almost all the factors in such long-range planning are to some degree uncertain. Most land use planning, until projects are implemented as buildout of the City proceeds, is subject to change for a variety of reasons. Thus, District staff will continue to monitor factors likely to affect land use in the City and identify changes that could affect the forecasts and assumptions used to develop the improvement programs in the Master Plan Updates (Draft Program EIR, p. 7-3). Most of the projects in the Master Plan Updates are upgrading and modification of existing facilities. In such cases, the location of the project is usually fixed. Nonetheless, adjustments are possible because the Master Plan Updates are guiding documents rather than rigid templates (Ibid.). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that while the Planning and Land Use Alternatives meet the project objectives, the alternative is not considered environmentally superior. 3. Supporting Explanation Flexibility in the implementation of the Master Plan Update will occur at the specific project implementation level. Partly as a result of the mitigation program in the Draft Program EIR, evaluation of the individual projects in the Master Plan Updates can occur at the stage of project approval or implementation. Given the speculative and to some degree uncertain nature of future conditions, this process is the only practical way to assure that feasible alternatives to each Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 35 project, if desirable or necessary, are developed (Ibid.). As an example, if development plans approved for a given area change the street pattern in that area, the location of pipelines projected in the Master Plan Updates may change. If density or type of development in a given area changes, the storage capacity needed to serve that area, and thus the size of water reservoirs may change, and the capacity of sewer collection facilities may also change. Individual project review in the planning stage is the only time an informed decision on such matters can occur (Ibid.). Overall, this alternative would meet the project objectives, but would cause the same environmental impacts as the proposed project (Ibid.). C.C.C.C. Environmentally SuEnvironmentally SuEnvironmentally SuEnvironmentally Superior Alternativeperior Alternativeperior Alternativeperior Alternative The Guidelines require identification of an environmentally superior alternative. None of the alternatives discussed in the Draft Program EIR is environmentally superior to the proposed Project. Therefore, the Draft Program EIR determined that the proposed Project is the environmentally superior alternative (Draft Program EIR, p. 7-3). SECTION 6SECTION 6SECTION 6SECTION 6.... FINDINGS REGARDING GROWTH INDUCEMENTFINDINGS REGARDING GROWTH INDUCEMENTFINDINGS REGARDING GROWTH INDUCEMENTFINDINGS REGARDING GROWTH INDUCEMENT The Carlsbad City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding potential growth- inducing impacts: 1. Potential Significant Impact CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2 (d) requires that an EIR evaluate the growth-inducing impacts of a proposed project (Draft Program EIR p. 6-2). This evaluation should address the ways in which the proposed project could encourage economic and population growth, or the construction of additional housing, either directly or indirectly (Ibid.). 2. Findings The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that adoption of the proposed Project will not cause significant growth-inducing impacts. 3. Supporting Explanation Generally, growth-inducing projects possess such characteristics as being located in isolated, undeveloped or underdeveloped areas, necessitating the extension of major infrastructure (e.g., sewer and water facilities, roadways, etc.), or those that could encourage “premature” or unplanned growth (i.e., “leap-frog” development). While infrastructure improvements, like those planned in the CIP, raises the issue of growth inducement, the proposed project is not Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 36 considered to be growth inducing because the proposed project would not provide additional long-term employment opportunities, no residences are planned as part of the proposed project, and no extension of services beyond that currently planned for in respective planning documents (e.g., City of Carlsbad General Plan) is associated with the proposed Project (Draft Program EIR, p. 6-3). In calculating flow projections for the project, the Master Plan Updates relied on recent regional population projections published by SANDAG. The ultimate flow projections were based on existing unit flow generation rates which were then applied to SANDAG 2020 population projections. Therefore, the CIP projects would not generate additional population or cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections (Ibid.). In addition, because no unplanned growth would be served by the project, the project would not remove an obstacle to growth (Ibid.). The facilities in the proposed Master Plan Updates are community service facilities, serving an urban infrastructure necessary to support economic and population growth. Their size and capacities are predicated on the projected growth that relates to the type of land use and the SANDAG population estimates and projections (SANDAG 2020 Cities/County Forecast). For that reason, the facilities in the Master Plan do not induce growth guided by the City’s planning documents (Ibid.). SECTION 7.SECTION 7.SECTION 7.SECTION 7. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONSSTATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONSSTATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONSSTATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The City Council hereby declares that pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, the City Council has balanced the benefits of the Project against any unavoidable environmental impacts in determining whether to approve the Project. If the benefits of the Project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, those impacts may be considered “acceptable.” The City Council hereby declares that the Final Program EIR has discussed significant effects that may occur as a result of the Project. With the implementation of the mitigation measures discussed in the Program EIR, these effects can be mitigated to a level of less than significant except for unavoidable significant impacts as discussed in Section 4 of these Findings. The City Council hereby declares that it has made a reasonable and good faith effort to eliminate or substantially mitigate the potential impacts resulting from the Project. The City Council hereby declares that to the extent any mitigation measures recommended in the Program EIR and/or Project could not be incorporated, such mitigation measures are infeasible because they would impose restrictions on the Project that would prohibit the realization of specific economic, social, and other benefits that this City Council finds outweigh the Findings oFindings oFindings oFindings of Factf Factf Factf Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Statement of Overriding Considerations October 2003 Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates • Program EIR 37 unmitigated impacts. The City Council finds that except for the Project, none of the other alternatives set forth in the Program EIR are environmentally superior to the Project or eliminate the unavoidable significant impacts associated with the Project. The City Council hereby declares that, having reduced the adverse significant environmental effects of the Project to the extent feasible by adopting the proposed mitigation measures, having considered the entire administrative record on the Project, and having weighed the benefits of the Project against its unavoidable adverse impacts after mitigation, the City Council has determined that the following social, economic, and environmental benefits of the Project outweigh the potential unavoidable adverse impacts and render those potential adverse environmental impacts acceptable based upon the following overriding considerations: • The Project would make facility improvements on aging water and sewer infrastructure (Draft Program EIR, p. 2-1). • The Project would increase capacity as necessary (Ibid.). • The Project would facilitate identified expansion needs (Ibid.). • The Project would reduce maintenance costs for the respective Districts (Ibid.). • The Project would reduce the potential for wastewater overflows (Ibid.). • The Project would afford the City of Carlsbad a valuable, integrated planning tool that is informative for those interested in the City’s future plans and facilities (Draft Program EIR, p. 7-2). The City Council hereby declares that the foregoing benefits provided to the public through the approval and implementation of the Project outweighs the identified significant adverse environmental impacts of the Project that cannot be mitigated. The City Council finds that the Project benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects identified in the Program EIR and therefore finds those impacts to be acceptable.

The connection fee program proposed under the Water and Sewer Master Plans Updates is necessary to fund the construction of capital improvement projects proposed in the Master Plans Updates. The proposed fee changes are also necessary to maintain service within the existing service areas of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District and Carlsbad Sewer District. The connection fee program would result in economic effects in that it would update the fee structure used to obtain funds for capital projects (Draft Program EIR, p. 2-6). However, the connection fee program is not subject to CEQA (Ibid.) and is exempt from review under CEQA. 1 EXHIBIT C: MITIGATION, MONITORING, AND REPORTING PROGRAM The following environmental mitigation measures were incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for this project in order to mitigate identified environmental impacts to a level of insignificance. Project design features have also been included in the table.

The determination of final mitigation for each project component shall first consider the project design features identified below. Mitigation would then follow the guidelines discussed below but also shall be based on project-level resource evaluation. The project-level evaluation would be more detailed and may result in a finding of no significant impact, and in that event, would not require mitigation. However, at this program level of analysis, each of the 26 components identified as having a significant impact to biological resources would require mitigation. Following project-level resource mapping and identification of precise implementation methods and location, significant adverse impacts to biological resources can generally be avoided or mitigated through incorporation of one or all of the following measures: BIO-1: Avoidance and minimization of impacts through project redesign or implementation of construction restrictions including seasonal restrictions (these City Planner, Biologist Pre-construction 3 MITIGATION MEASURE OR DESIGN FEATURE STAFF MONITOR TIMING OF COMPLIANCE DATE OF COMPLIANCE measures would likely need to be ensured through construction monitoring adjacent to sensitive resource areas); BIO-2: Conservation of like habitat near to project impact area through dedication of a conservation easement and management endowment; and/or City Planner, Biologist Post-Construction BIO-3 Enhancement, restoration, and/or creation of habitats affected by the project with methodologies approved by the City and resource agencies.
