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

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:

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.

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. -

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.

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

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

RE: Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the City of
Carlsbad Water and Sewer Master Plans
Dear Elaine:
Hofman Planning Associates appreciates the opportunity to review the Notice of
Preparation and attend the EIR scoping meeting for the update of the City's Water and
Sewer Master Plans. 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.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to coniment on this EIR and please keep our office
informed of the status of this project.
Sincerely,
Mike Howes

Subject : Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report
Citywide Water and Sewer Master Plans
EIR 03-01
Dear Ms. Blackburn:
Thank you for the Notice of Preparation for the subject project, received by this Society last
week .
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.

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:

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.

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.

COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ON THE NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF A
DMFT ENVIRONMENTAL WACT REPORT FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WATER AND SEWER MASTER PI,ANS
To enable Department staff to adequateIy review and comment on the proposed project from the
standpoint of the protection of plants, fish, and wildlife, we recommend the follov*ing
information be included in the environmental impact report (EIR):
1. A compIcte discussion of the purposc, need for, and description of the prop4 projcct,
including all staging areas and access routes to the construction and staging E nas.
2. A complete list and assessment of the flora and fauna within and next to the I rojcct area,
with particular emphasis upon identifying State or federaIly listed rare, threatened,
endangered, or proposed candidate species, California Species-of-Special Concern and/or
State Protected or Fully Protected spccics, and any locally unique species anc sensitive
habitats. SpecificaIIy, the EB should include:
a. A thorough assessment of Rare Natural Communities on site and within the arca of
impact, following the Department's Guidelines for Assessing Impacts to Itare Plants
and Rarc Natural Communities (Attachment 1; revised May 8,2000).
b. A current inventory of the biological resources associated with each habit it type on sjtc
and within the area of impact. The Department's California Natural Diveisity Data
Base in Sacramento should be contactcd at (916) 327-5960 to obtain currt:nt information
on any previously reported sensitive species and habitat, including Signifizant Natural
Areas idencified under Chapter 12 of the Fish and Game Code.
c. Discussions regarding seasonal variations in use by sensitive species of th: project site
and arca of impact on those species, and acceptable species-specific survey procedures
as determined through consultation with the Dcpmment. Focused specie!:-specific
surveys, conducted in conformance with established protocols at the appropriate time of
year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or othenvise identifiable, are
quid.
3. A thorough discussion of direct, indimt. and cumulative impacts expected to adversely
affect biological resources. All facets of hi project should be included in this assessment.
Specifically, the EIR should provide:
a. Specific acreage and descriptions of the types of wetIands, coastal sage scrub, and other
habitats that will or may be affected by the proposed project or project alteinatives
should be included. Maps and tables should be used to summarize such inl'ormation.
b. Discussions regarding the regional setting, pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) GuideIines. Section15 125(a), with spccial emphasis cn resources
DFG SOUTH COAST REG PAGE 05
ENCLOSURE 2
tbat are rare or unique to the region that wouid be affected by the project This
discussion is critical to an assessment of environmental impacts.
c. Detailed discussions, incIuding both qualitative and quantitativc analyse,, of the
potentidly affected listed and sensitive spccics (fish, wildlife, plants), and their habitats
on the proposed project site, area of impact, and alternative sites, jncludiiig informarion
pertaining to their local status and distribution. The anticipated or real inpacts of the
project on these species and habitats should be fully addressed.
d. Discussions regarding indirect project impacts on biological resources, ir zluding
resources in nearby public lands, open space, adjacent natural habitats, ri)>arian
ecosystems, and any designatd andor proposed Natural Community Cor scmation
Planning program (NCCP) reserve lands. Impacts on, and maintenance of, wildlife
conidor/movement areas, including access to undisturbed habitats in adjr cent arcas,
shouId be fully cvaluated and provided. A discussion of potmtial adversc: impacts from
lighting, noise, human activity, exotic species, and drainage. The latter siibject should
address: project-related changes on drainage patterns on and downstream of the project
site; the volume, velocity, and frequency of existing and post-project surf ice flows;
poIluted runoff soil crosion and/or sedimentation in streams and watcr bcdes; and
post-project fate of runoff from the project sitc.
e. Discussions regarding possible conflicts resulting from wildlife-human inceractions at
the interface between the development project and natural habitats. Thc zoning of arcas
for dcvclopment projecrs or other uses that an nearby or adjacent to natural areas may
inadvertently conmbutc to wildlife-human interactions.
f. An analysis of cumulative effects, as described under CEQA Guidelines, !kctionl5130.
General and specific plans. and past, present, and anticipatd future projec ts, should be
analyzed concerning their impacts on similar plant communities and wi1dl:fe habitats.
g. An analysis of the effect that the project may have on completion and implemmtauon of regional and/or subregional conservation programs. 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. A thorough discussion of mitigation measurts for adverse project-dated irnpasts on

ENCLOSURE 3
sensitive plants, animals, and habitats, These should be measures to fully a\ oid and
othcrwisc protect Rare Natural Communities (Attachment 2) from project-related impaccs.
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.
Mitigation rneasurts to alleviatc indirect project impacts on biological resour(:es must be
included, including measures to minimize changes in the hydrologic regimes m sitc, and
means to convey runoff without damaging biological resources, including the morphology
of onsite and downstream habitats,
5. 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

aquatic valucs and maintain their value to onsitc and offsite wildlife populat.ons.
If appropriate, a jurisdictional delineation of lakcs, streams, and associated I: parian habitats
should be included in the EIR, including a wetland delineation pursuant to t1.e U. S. Fish
and Wildlifc Service definition (Cowardin 1979) adopted by the Department. Please note
that wetland and riparian habitats subject to the Department’s authority may extend beyond
the jurisdictional limits of the U.S. Army Corps of Engneers.
The proposed project may require a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA). The
Department has direct authority undcr Fish and Game Code section 1600 et. wq. regarding
any proposed activity that would &vert, obstruct, or affect the natural flow 01’ change the
bcd, channel, or bank of any river, strram, or lake. The Department’s ksuanbe of a SAA for
a project that is subjccc to CEQA requires CEQA compliancc actions by the 1)epartrnent as
a Responsible Agency, As a Responsiblc Agency under CEQA, the Depmznt may
consider the City’s (Lcad Agency’s) CEQA documentation. To minimize adiitional
requirements by the Department pursuant to Section 1600 er seg. and/or under CEQA, the
documentation should fully identify the potential impacts to the lake, stream or riparian
resourccs and provide adequate avoidance, mitigation, monitoring and report ng
commitmcnu for issuance of the agreement. A SAA notification form may be obtained by
writing tg the Department of Fish and Game, 4949 Viewridgc Avenue, San C iego,
California 92123-1662, or by calling (858) 636-3160, or by accessing thc DcI:artmcnt’s web

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

*If the site is located in an area that has already been developed, a spot-field check
and construction monitoring are 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

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

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

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

been previously addressed as to mitigation of impacts through a data recovery program, as
burials may still be present.

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).

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.).

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

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

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

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

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.).

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

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.).

For some project components, use of SDGE's rights-of-way may be required. 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.).

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.).

Implementation of the Master Plan Updates may cause potential conflicts with existing parks or

design stage of all phases of the project. 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.).

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.).

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

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.

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.

! 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:

Monitoring Program (with appropriate graphics) shall be submitted to ECO/P for
approval.
b. For significant archaeological resources encountered during monitoring, the
Research Design and Data Recovery Program shall be included as part of the
Final Results Report.
4. 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 (Ibid.).
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.

4. 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.).

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

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

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).

DDDD.... 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)
! Lift station upgrades at the Terramar, Villas, and Gateshead Lift Stations (sewer

2. 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

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).

EEEE.... 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

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

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

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).

The Carlsbad City Council hereby finds that, despite the incorporation of mitigation measures
outlined in the Draft Program EIR, the following impacts cannot be fully mitigated to a less than
significant level:
A. 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.

Although the City of Carlsbad draft HMP has been approved by the City and California Coastal
Commission, the City is awaiting a Biological Opinion (and Take authorization) from USFWS

until the HMP documents are approved by USFWS.
SECTION 5.SECTION 5.SECTION 5.SECTION 5. 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

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

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

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

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 City Council hereby certifies that the proposed connection fee program qualifies as an action
that has been determined by the state Legislature pursuant to Section 15273(a)(4) (Rates, Tolls,
Fares, and Charges) of the CEQA Guidelines to be statutorily exempt from CEQA. 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.

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
