Dear Mr. Little:
Weston Solutions, Inc. (Weston ®) is pleased to provide our qualifications to assist the City of San Marcos (City) on behalf of the Carlsbad Watershed Management Area (WMA) Copermittees to perform monitoring and assessment services as required by San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. We understand the challenges of implementing the Carlsbad Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP), and are committed to the ongoing success of your program.
Weston’s experience, technical leadership and dedicated scientists and engineers have established Weston
as a leading water resource provider in Southern California. Our San Diego County office located in
Carlsbad was established in 1975 and is home to 25 scientists, engineers, and support staff who are
committed to the environmental health of the local community. Many of our staff live in the Carlsbad WMA
and have a long history of working on behalf of the watershed Copermittees.
The Weston Team
Weston’s office in Carlsbad provides expertise in watershed management, National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) regulatory support and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development and
implementation. We are particularly well respected for our exemplary history of water resource services to
city and county agencies. Our team is experienced in selecting proper equipment for difficult monitoring
situations and providing efficient solutions to complex monitoring requirements. Our scientists and engineers
bring specialized experience in providing municipalities with proven and cost effective solutions to address
regulatory requirements under NPDES permitting, State §303(d) listings, and TMDLs.
We have augmented our team by partnering with three local firms with impeccable reputations in water
resources, D-Max Engineering (D-MAX), Apex Companies, LLC (Apex), and Larry Walker Associates (LWA).
All three firms bring additional local in-depth knowledge of the Carlsbad WMA to provide an even greater
breadth of experience and knowledge to the Copermittees. We have a long track record of successful
partnerships with these firms and/or their expert staff.
Our team will be led by our Principal-in-Charge, Andrea Crumpacker, who brings over 19 years of
experience leading large water quality programs and is locally based in Carlsbad. Ms. Crumpacker will
provide scientific oversight and senior-level program guidance for this contract, as she has done for similar
monitoring and reporting programs for the NPDES MS4 Permit. She has experience engaging directly with
key regulators, stakeholders and the Regional Board.
Weston will lead the contract and all tasks, supported by D-Max, LWA, APEX and our laboratory partners.
Due to her significant experience managing monitoring contracts, working in local watersheds, and
knowledge of the NPDES MS4 Permit, Michelle Mattson, CPSWQ will serve as Weston’s Project Manager.
Ms. Mattson will manage the day to day requirements of the contract, including serving as the main point of
contact with the City and Copermittees. Ms. Mattson will be supported by Sean Porter (Apex) and John
Quenzer (D-Max) as Technical Advisors as well as expert Task Managers assigned to each major scope of
work area.
~----~ .Jl.,.
Program Approach
Weston’s approach to accomplish the tasks in the scope of work is to provide the City and Carlsbad WMA
Copermittees with high-quality, innovative, scientifically sound data collection and analysis through cost-
effective, well-organized, and efficient means. The Weston Team is committed to the implementation of the
Carlsbad WQIP in a timely and cost effective manner. Many of the Team’s staff live and work within the
Carlsbad WMA, and are personally committed to the improvement of water quality and implementation of
water quality improvements within the WMA. The Weston Team commits to implement the program on-
schedule and within budget, and to prioritize monitoring requirements of the program to ensure effective
implementation of the WQIP. The Weston Team has the staff and resources to successfully implement the program.
The Weston Team is comprised of recognized leaders in the SMC program, sediment quality monitoring, and NPDES compliance, and our staff are sought out by municipalities to answer difficult questions and tackle challenging monitoring situations including special study development and molecular source tracking (MST).

and insightful analysis and representation of data and information.
Weston brings in-depth knowledge of the newly adopted Human Health Effect SQOs, and is the firm best
suited to assist the Carlsbad WMA with implementation of this new program. Ms. Crumpacker has been part
of the SQO advisory committee since 2009, and provided numerous technical comments related to the work
products as well as performed initial bioaccumulation model testing, working with San Francisco Estuary
Institute (SFEI) scientists.
Experience with Similar Work

from the Project Manager (Michelle Mattson) to the City’s Project Manager or designated contact. Weston
will utilize the following communication tools:
Weekly Project Summaries—Open, frequent, and consistent communication is the hallmark of
Weston’s management approach. Weston’s Project Manager will communicate weekly with the City’s
designated Project Manager with updates on each of the numerous task orders being conducted,
including schedules, budgets, field efforts, and technical issues.
Monthly Task Order Updates—The Weston Project Manager will meet in person or via-telephone on
a monthly basis to discuss the ongoing task orders with the designated Project Manager and other
staff.
Project Quality Checklists—The designated Task Managers will complete a QC checklist for each
milestone deliverable to document Weston’s QA/QC processes established for field work,
laboratory analysis, data management, mapping, data analysis, engineering designs, and technical
reports.

3 PROPOSED METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK AND
INNOVATION
The Weston Team’s approach to the project is to provide monitoring and assessment services of the highest
quality, with strict adherence to quality assurance and quality control protocols necessary to implement the
Carlsbad WMA WQIP. Weston’s location in the Carlsbad WMA watersheds provides a local resource to
the Carlsbad WMA Copermittees, and has also enabled the Weston Team to develop an in-depth
knowledge of the natural and anthropogenic systems within the WMA.
Weston has a long history of monitoring in the Carlsbad WMA, beginning with the Copermittee regional
monitoring program in 2001. Weston supported the Copermittees with the regional program until 2014,
and has since supported the City of Oceanside with a microbial source tracking (MST) and nutrient project
in Loma Alta sub-watershed (2015-present), as well as the City of Vista from 2007-2014 with their
jurisdictional stormwater program.
The Weston Team understands the importance of implementing the Carlsbad WMA WQIP, and the
challenges associated with showing progress in reducing dry weather flows over time. Of special
consideration will be the need to distinguish between anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic sources of dry
weather flow. This is a challenging issue, especially considering the numerous discharge permits that are
granted by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, along with dwelling foundation discharges
and other undocumented sources of groundwater discharge into the MS4 system. We will use our local
experience and knowledge of the natural systems and jurisdictional programs within the WMA to efficiently
perform the scope of work and can assist the Carlsbad WMA Copermittees with identification of these
anthropogenic and natural sources of flow if needed.
Our management approach centers on providing excellent communication and respectful exchange of
technical input to ultimately provide the results and findings that support the City in making informed
management decisions. Weston understands these services must be provided cost effectively, of the highest
quality, and in accordance with an authorized scope.
The Weston Team is committed to the implementation of the Carlsbad WQIP in a timely and cost effective
manner. Many of the Team’s staff live and work within the Carlsbad WMA, and are personally committed
to the improvement of water quality and implementation of water quality improvements within the WMA.
The Weston Team commits to implement the program on-schedule and within budget, and to prioritize
monitoring requirements of the program to ensure effective implementation of the WQIP.
3.1 Innovation
Biostimulatory-Biointegrity Project
Upcoming regulatory changes such as the Biostimulatory-Biointegrity Project (B-B Project) and emerging
contaminants of concern such as per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) will affect the Carlsbad WMA in
the upcoming five years. Weston has developed a team that is on the forefront of these issues and ready to
provide innovative and scientifically-based guidance. For example, team member LWA is currently assisting
with the development of the B-B Project at the State Water Resources control board. This project will affect
the Carlsbad WMA Copermittees, as it will affect both bioassessment results interpretation, as well as
nutrients. LWA has been actively working on the project since its inception, including helping the City of San
Diego coordinate a regulated parties group that was successful in shifting the policy options from numeric
objectives to narrative objectives and raising the issue of alternative implementation procedures for modified
channels. The B-B Project will have implications for the Carlsbad WMA, and Weston team partners are
currently actively working with the State Water Board to make the provisions more attainable. Our team is
ready to assist the City with comments, implementation, and guidance.
Per- and Polyflouroalkyl Substances (PFAS) New contaminants are always emerging, and PFAS is a contaminant for which drinking water standards have recently been adopted in California, and will likely become a required environmental monitoring analyte in the near future. Locations contaminated with PFAS, a surfactant, are challenging to monitor and remediate. Weston has over 15 years of experience addressing PFAS, including collecting thousands of PFAS

environmental samples, on multiple projects for the Army, Air Force, EPA and State governments. Weston’s
PFAS Technical Advisor (Ms. Lisa Kemmer) provides expertise in design/implementation of PFAS
characterization programs, including CERCLA planning, sampling and analysis, site characterization, RI/FS,
ecological risk assessment, statistical analyses, and reporting. Ms. Kemmer is supported by a deep bench of
nationwide subject matter experts (SMEs) in PFAS sampling protocols, laboratory analytical methods,
statistical analysis, risk assessment, and treatability to ensure unique characteristics of PFAS are identified
during planning and addressed during characterization. Our team has an in-depth understand of both key
Federal and state PFAS criteria which ensures efficient development of solutions to meet remedial objectives.
Low Flow Detection
Weston brings together a team of experts from engineering and scientific backgrounds to identify sources
of dry weather flow and recommend proven strategies to remediate controllable non-exempt non-
stormwater flows. Collection of low flow during dry weather conditions can be challenging, and Weston
brings the expertise to successfully quantify flows to accurately estimate dry weather discharge. This summer,
Weston conducted continuous flow monitoring in the San Diego and San Luis Rey River watershed
management areas (WMAs) on behalf of the County of San Diego. Weston conducted site reconnaissance
at over 65 sites; designed, constructed and installed weirs at over 35 locations; and installed METER level sensors and cellular enabled data loggers to enable close to real-time remote viewing of data. With this advanced technology Weston enables our clients to easily identify persistently flowing outfalls, quantify flows, identify patterns, and to initiate management actions to address sources. In addition, we have extensive experience with equipment and sensors from a myriad of different manufacturers and technologies. We are currently conducting a pilot study testing top-mounted ultrasonic sensors in very low flow conditions paired with HACH FL902 data loggers. Our experienced field scientists are also adept at
collecting field measurements and observations to identify potential sources of flow in the field. We currently
conduct bi-weekly visual observations at over 130 MS4 outfalls in the San Luis Rey WMA in support of the
County’s Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load compliance efforts.
3.2 Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work
Task 1—Stormwater Monitoring Coalition Regional Monitoring (SMC) A—SMC Monitoring
Weston’s stream bioassessment team has extensive experience collecting and analyzing benthic
macroinvertebrate populations from every major watershed in coastal southern California. Weston has
conducted 600 individual bioassessment sampling events in San Diego County alone since 2001. The team,
led by Mr. Damon Owen, has a high-level of expertise with a variety of sampling and analysis protocols
(including SWAMP, CRAM, and the Stormwater Monitoring Coalition’s Workplan, CSCI calculations and
analysis as well as current algal analytic tools). Stream bioassessment projects have ranged from large scale
regional monitoring programs in support of NPDES permit compliance to small point source impact
assessments, BMP effectiveness studies, and stream restoration analyses.
Weston will assist the Carlsbad WMA Copermittees with
implementation of the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring
Coalition (SMC) program including management, planning, regional
coordination, and by conducting field reconnaissance, bioassessment
monitoring, and data submittals as described in the “Bioassessment
Survey of the Stormwater Monitoring Coalition Workplan for Years
2015 through 2019 Version 1.0” (SMC Workplan). The SMC
Workplan requires that three probabilistic condition sites be
monitored annually in each of four strata in San Diego County. Carlsbad WMA is located in the Central stratum along with the Los Peñasquitos Creek and San Dieguito River WMAs. The three condition sites are selected randomly within the stratum, and it is possible that this random selection process could result in all three condition sampling sites being located in the CAR WMA during a monitoring year. Random sites change from year to year. There is also a trend site located with the Carlsbad WMA, which is constant from year to year unless it cannot be sampled. Therefore, it is assumed that monitoring will be conducted at a maximum of four SMC sites each year.
Since 2001 Weston has
conducted 600 individual
bioassessment sampling events in San Diego County.

Monitoring for non-perennial streams may commence as early as February 15 of 2019 and 2020. All
sampling (trend and condition sites) will be completed by July 2019 (and by July of each monitoring year
until the end of the contract). Monitoring will include parameters as described in the SMC Workplan. In
addition, water chemistry samples will be collected to analyze for ammonia-N, total N, nitrate-nitrite-N,
orthophosphate as P, total P, alkalinity as CaCO3, hardness as CaCO3, chloride, sulfate, and total suspended
solids. Furthermore, data will be collected on channel engineering, hydromodification, hydrologic state and
vertebrate species present. All required and recommended parameters are described in the SMC Workplan.
All collected data will be formatted accordingly with SMC requirements and submitted to SMC for analysis
and assessment. The data will also be formatted for and submitted to CEDEN (http://ceden.org/).
B—SMC Reporting
Weston will submit a summary report to the Carlsbad WMA coordinator annually that includes a summary
of the methods, data, results, and data analysis results. This submittal will be provided on the timeline
established by the WMA for annual WQIP reporting. Two drafts and a final report are included in the cost
estimate. The cost estimate for reporting in 2020 is included under Phase II.
Task 2—Sediment Quality Monitoring A—Bight ’18 Sediment Quality Monitoring Follow-up
Weston has played an integral role in Bight studies since the onset of the program in 1994. Weston’s task
leader, Sheila Holt has been a participant in the Bight since 1994, serving on multiple committees, including
the field committees, benthic infauna committees, and contaminant impact assessment committee. Her
knowledge and experience includes leading the field monitoring efforts for the County of San Diego
Copermittees in 2008 including follow up monitoring efforts in 2009 and 2013. Her team includes Olga
Hernandez who has participated in the Bight since 1998, and Dan McCoy who has participated since 2003.
In addition, Ms. Holt wrote the San Diego County Sediment Monitoring Plan in 2014 on behalf of the
Copermittees.
Based on final integrated station categorical scores for the monitored lagoons in the Carlsbad WMA (Agua
Hedionda and Batiquitos Lagoons), Weston will conduct follow-up monitoring, if necessary. Weston will pro-
actively communicate with Copermittees and regulatory agencies to plan and conduct follow-up monitoring,
following the same analysis plan utilized during the ABLM follow-up monitoring in Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
The previous follow-up studies showed that disturbance from the Carlsbad Lagoon water sports complex
may be affecting the benthic community in the lagoon. Similar to the previous follow-up studies, Weston
may deploy water quality sondes and recommend additional analytical analyses such as AVS:SEM to better
understand the effect of chemicals in the sediment on the benthic community.
The cost estimate includes planning, permit applications for monitoring, laboratory costs, data formatting,
updates to the monitoring plan, and loading data to CEDEN. Weston assumes that follow-up studies will be
implemented between July and September in 2019.
B—Human Health SQO Monitoring (Indirect Effect SQO)
The newly approved (not yet adopted) Sediment Provisions include the indirect effect SQOs. These SQOs
are used to evaluate the potential human health effects from eating fish and shellfish and apply in Agua
Hedionda lagoon. Weston has been on the Advisory Committee since 2009 for indirect effect SQOs, and
Andrea Crumpacker tested the earliest bioaccumulation models used in the indirect effects SQOs, developed
by San Francisco Bay Estuary Institute (SFEI). Weston has an in-depth understanding of these SQOs, and how
the data should be properly assessed to determine if a Tier II evaluation will be necessary.
Weston will conduct a Tier I analysis with the data available from Agua Hedionda lagoon from the most
recent six years (including Bight 13 and Bight 18). The result of this analysis will determine whether a Tier II
evaluation is necessary.
Task 3—Receiving Water Assessments
During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, Weston will conduct receiving water assessments of status and trends by
Hydrologic Area (HA), based upon available and appropriate receiving water monitoring data, including
wet and dry weather chemical, biological, and physical data. Receiving water data for analysis may include

15 December 2018
MLS long term monitoring, SMC bioassessment, sediment quality and TMDL monitoring, as appropriate to
the assessment tasks and water quality priorities and associated goals for the HA. Based on Copermittees’
choice or Water Board request, third party sources or reports may also be considered in the multiple lines
of evidence approach. The receiving water assessments required by the Permit to be completed once every
five years will be addressed in the RMAR to be submitted with the ROWD, 180 days prior to permit
expiration.
Weston’s approach to this task will be based on over 20 years of experience working with analytical,
toxicity and bioassessment data from multiple programs in San Diego County. Weston uses a variety of
statistical tools and spatial analyses to evaluate complex data sets to identify potential relationships, trends, and to develop conclusions and recommendations based on sound science. Visualization methods and maps can be used to integrate information and present concepts and strategies, as well as data. A summary report providing methods, data, results, and assessments will be prepared by Weston which can be included as an attachment to the WQIP Annual Report and will be prepared in accordance with a reporting schedule agreed upon by Copermittees and the Carlsbad WMA coordinator at the start of each annual reporting cycle. The schedule should allow for review of at least two drafts with a final draft completed by the end
of September each year.
Weston will work closely with the Carlsbad WMA Coordinator to ensure the objectives of the receiving water
assessments are met and to facilitate integration into the WQIP annual report.
Task 4—Wet Weather MS4 Outfall Discharge Monitoring The Weston Team will conduct wet weather outfall discharge monitoring in accordance with Provision D.2.c of the current MS4 Permit between October 1, 2019 and April 30, 2020. Weston prepared the Transitional Wet Weather MS4 Outfall Discharging Monitoring Work Plan that is the primary reference of the Carlsbad
WMA Permit MS4 Monitoring Plan. During 2013 and 2014 Weston also performed installation and MS4
outfall monitoring in the Carlsbad WMA. As a result of such highly direct experience, the Weston Team is
very familiar with each outfall within the Plan and possesses the necessary expertise to cost effectively collect
scientifically defensible data and ensure credibility with the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control
Board.
In performing the requested services, Weston will follow the procedures within the Carlsbad WMA Permit
MS4 Monitoring Plan to:
Install flow monitoring equipment—Our experience with MS4 monitoring reveals that the optimal
equipment to collect flow data is a flow logger connected to an area velocity sensor. However due
to site security issues, it is not always feasible to install an area velocity sensor. In such cases dual
Onset Hobo data loggers (or similar) will be installed.
Collect wet weather samples—Each crew deployed will connect an automatic sampling device that
has been preprogramed and calibrated to periodically collect aliquots. The monitoring crews will
also verify that the samplers are properly functioning for the duration of each storm. Weston field
staff will be equipped with jars so that manual samples can be collected if the automatic sampler
fails or if it is not feasible to install tubing. Bacteria grab samples will be taken during the peak
portion of the storm event.
Perform laboratory analysis—Both the grab and composite samples will be transferred to the
appropriate laboratory using the required transport and chain of custody protocol criteria and will
be analyzed in accordance with the Monitoring Plan as well as Weston’s thorough QA/QC process.
Weston will prepare a technical memorandum summarizing the monitoring results as part of this task.
Task 5—MS4 Outfall Discharge Assessments Wet and Dry Weather Assessments
The purpose of the MS4 outfall monitoring and assessment is to evaluate potential impacts from MS4 outfall
discharges on the beneficial uses of a receiving waters during dry and wet weather conditions. The current
Permit outlines separate assessments for wet and dry weather MS4 outfall data. Weston has conducted
these prescriptive assessments for the San Luis Rey and San Diego River WMAs for the past three years
SAN MARCOS

under WQIP Annual Reporting, as well as developed methods and performed similar assessments required
for transitional monitoring data for all nine WMAs during the transitional period. If the new Permit continues
these same assessments, Weston has the in-house knowledge to effectively and efficiently perform these
evaluations. If the new Permit provides revisions to these assessments, Weston will coordinate with the
Copermittees and Carlsbad WMA coordinator in developing appropriate methodologies to respond to new
requirements and ensure that data evaluation informs tracking progress toward achieving numeric goals and
evaluation of strategies.
In addition to the collection and QA/QC of monitoring data, Weston has extensive experience standardizing
and compiling Copermittee data from many years of managing data and annual reporting under the previous regional program. Weston will provide updated data sharing tools, as-needed, to facilitate the collection and compilation of data for conducting assessments within proposed schedules. Weston understands the challenges of reporting on data that may be collected up until September 30 of the monitoring year and will work with jurisdictions make the data submittal process as easy as possible for them.
For dry and wet weather MS4 assessments, separate written summary reports of the methods, data, results, and assessments will be prepared by Weston which can be included as attachments to the WQIP Annual Report. These submittals will be based upon a reporting schedule prepared in coordination with the Copermittees and the Carlsbad WMA coordinator at the start of each annual reporting cycle. The schedule will allow for review of at least two drafts with a final draft completed by the end of November, or sooner.
Task 6—Prepare Annual Work Plan and Budget
The Weston Project Manager (Ms. Mattson) will prepare a fiscal year work plan and budget estimate for each fiscal year of the Part I of the Program (FY 18-19 [partial year] and 19-20). The work plan and
budget will include a breakdown of the schedule and costs for each of the tasks included in the Part I of the
Program as well as any additional tasks. The Annual Work Plan and Budget will be used for the Copermittees
to set the cost share budget for the following fiscal year. The Weston Project Manager will work with the
City Project Manager to determine the due date of the work plan and budget deliverable.
Task 7—Project Management and Meetings
The Ms. Mattson (Weston Project Manager) will communicate regularly with the City Project Manager and
Carlsbad WMA group to provide updates on the status of each task on at least a monthly basis as well as
status and schedule updates. Ms. Mattson will also coordinate with the Carlsbad WMA Reporting Lead,
Mikhail Ogawa Engineering (MOE) to lead, facilitate, and/or attend meetings as needed to discuss WQIP
monitoring results, provide scientific expertise, and/or discuss potential special studies needed by the
Carlsbad WMA Copermittees. The cost estimate includes up to 4 Carlsbad WMA Copermittee meetings for
the 2018-2019 fiscal year and up to 12 meetings for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Public speaking and presentation of the City’s work is a critical aspect of a successful program
implementation. Weston is well-respected in Southern California for our scientific expertise and can provide
credible scientific support to the City during meetings with regulators, stakeholders, and the public. Up to
three additional meetings are included each year in the cost estimate to support additional meetings, as
needed.
Task 8—Miscellaneous Activities
The team Weston has assembled to support the City and Carlsbad WMA Copermittees has broad and
extensive experience in all aspects of water resources. Our Team is primed to support the needs of the
Copermittees from development and implementation of special studies or additional monitoring programs
to providing guidance and comment letters on emerging regulations. Our experts are well versed with
providing technical documents and presentations, preparing scientifically sound monitoring plans, sampling
and analysis plans, and SWAMP compliant QAPPs The Weston team’s extensive experience with water
quality and sediment monitoring, data assessment and reporting together with our focus on cost efficiency
and quality have made us a trusted provider of water resources to our clients.

Phase 2 (July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2024)
Task 9—Long Term Receiving Water Monitoring
Receiving water monitoring will be conducted at ESC-MLS and BVC-TWAS-1. Current Weston staff
maintained these stations for numerous years under the Copermittee regional monitoring contract, and are
very familiar with them. The following work includes site installation, maintenance, permit applications, and
calibration of flow.
A—Dry Weather Dry weather receiving water monitoring will be conducted twice during the 2021-22 fiscal year, once in September of 2021 and once in the spring of 2022. Monitoring will include two 24-hour events, with flow weighted composite samples. Samples will be analyzed for chemistry and toxicity analyses per Permit
provision D.1.c. Sampling will follow the Carlsbad WQIP monitoring plan.
B—Wet Weather
Weston has been conducting stormwater monitoring in San Diego County since 2001, and has developed an
efficient and effective system for mobilizing teams and responding to potential storms. Our team of scientists
and engineers are dedicated to collecting scientifically sound data. Each station will be set up with remote
telemetry capabilities that allow the station to begin sampling as soon as stormwater runoff is detected in
the creek.
Wet weather receiving water sampling will be collected three times during the 2021-22 fiscal year at both
stations. One event will be conducted after February 2022. A forecast of 70% probability of 0.1 inch of rain will be used as the mobilization criteria. The “first flush” of the season will be sampled after October 1, 2021.
Flow-composite samples will be analyzed for chemistry, bacteria, and toxicity, per Permit Provision D.1.c. Sampling will follow the Carlsbad WQIP monitoring plan.
Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIEs) will be conducted after development of an amendment to the WQIP monitoring program that lays forth the steps required to implement the TIE. Weston conducted several TIEs
under the Regional Copermittee program, and has a strong relationship with Nautilus (now Enthalpy) to work
through the process of toxicity identification. Our collective approach for TIEs is iterative, thoughtful, and
diligent in nature. The experience and proven track record that we bring to these complex evaluations allows
us to minimize costs and provide scientific, data-driven decision making tools. We provide a custom and site
specific approach to each TIE as opposed to conducting a standard design that can waste resources. If a TIE
is thought to be likely because, for example, toxicity has been observed at a receiving water site historically,
additional water will be collected to ensure there is enough for a potential TIE analysis. We can also use
previous data to guide the path and design of the TIE in a way that reduces the cost burden and controls
for factors that may reduce or prevent the need for the TIE in the first place. The TIE process usually includes
addition of a known contaminant to the site water to test for effects different from the observed toxicity
effects, and in a systematic manner potential contaminants are tested until a likely cause of toxicity can be
determined. Note that during dry weather conditions, conductivity is a common culprit of toxicity. This can be
tied back to natural water quality and as an example, conductivity controls can be tested concurrently with
the screen which may prevent the need for a TIE all together. It is important to work with the regional board
when proceeding with a TIE so that required follow-up steps can be completed in a timely and cost efficient
manner.
Task 10—Stormwater Monitoring Coalition Monitoring (SMC)
A—Monitoring As per Task 1.A, Weston will conduct the SMC monitoring per the Permit. Station reconnaissance is expected
to begin in February each year, lasting through March. Monitoring will be conducted for non-perennial streams, as early as February 15 of each year All sampling (trend and condition sites) will be completed by mid-July of each year (and by mid-July of each monitoring year until the end of the contract).

B—Reporting
As described in Task 2.B, Weston will develop and submit to the Carlsbad WMA manager a final summary
report of SMC results for each fiscal year by late November. The report from summer of 2020 sampling is
included in Phase II of this project.
Task 11—Receiving Water Assessments
Receiving water assessments for the 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 fiscal years will be conducted as per
Task 3. The summary report will be delivered to the Carlsbad WMA coordinator for inclusion in the WQIP
annual report.
Task 12—Wet Weather MS4 Outfall Discharge Monitoring
Monitoring will be conducted as described in Task 4. Monitoring will be completed by April 30th of each
year. Results will be reported to the Carlsbad WMA manager for inclusion in the annual WQIP report.
Weston estimates that data will be used for the outfall discharge assessments (Task 13) after July 1st of each
year. Data will be loaded to CEDEN and a receipt sent to the Carlsbad WMA manager.
Task 13—MS4 Outfall Discharge Assessments
Assessments will be conducted as described in Task 5, and submitted to the Carlsbad WMA Manager for
inclusion in the WQIP annual report as an appendix.
Task 14—Special Study Assessments
Special studies focus on the High Priority Water Quality Conditions (HPWQCs) identified in the WQIP, and
assessment of the data should further characterize water quality conditions and pollutant sources to assist in
directing actions and further developing strategies. Key to the assessments is an evaluation of progress
toward goals for HPWQCs. The assessment evaluation process and potential outputs were provided in
Section 2.5.3.3 of the Carlsbad WMA WQIP, which Weston will use in conducting the assessments. While
the Carlsbad WMA Copermittees participate in several other special studies, it is anticipated that the major
component of the assessments for this task by Weston will be integration and analysis of the Dry Weather
Special Study data, as the other special studies will have separate reporting efforts. However, a summary
of other special study results as they relate to goals and progress can be incorporated into the memorandum
deliverable and used in developing recommendations for future special studies and modifications to the
WQIP.
Task 15—Sediment Quality Monitoring A—Human Health SQO
Pending the results of Task 2, Weston will develop a conceptual site model (CSM), monitoring plan, QAPP,
and conduct monitoring required for Tier II indirect effects SQO assessment in Agua Hedionda Lagoon. A
CSM is required in the Sediment Provisions, and is a comprehensive summary of the sources and pathways
of the contaminants in a water body. In the event that a Tier II evaluation is required, Weston strongly
recommends working in consultation with the San Diego Regional Board. If necessary, consulting with Chris
Beegan from the State Water Board, so that all parties are aligned on the implementation of the Tier II
program.
Per the Sediment Provision, monitoring will include fish surveys, sediment and water sampling several times
between 2021 and 2022. Weston is proposing three surveys over this time period. It is assumed that five
sediment stations will be sampled, that multiple water samples will be collected and composited during each
event, and that three composite fish samples for two species will be collected during each event.
Data will be assessed and processed through the bioaccumulation model provided with the Sediment
Provisions. The results of the monitoring and analysis will be summarized and presented in draft and final
reports to the Carlsbad WMA. The timing for the report will be finalized with the Carlsbad WMA.
B—Sediment Monitoring Report
The sediment monitoring report will be developed to include the Bight 18 results and any other applicable
sediment monitoring results collected in the Carlsbad WMA lagoons over the permit term. The data will be
evaluated to determine if receiving water limitations have been achieved at each station and will also include

a map of all sampling locations. If not already complete, data will be loaded to the CEDEN network. This
task is expected to be performed between July 2022 and June 2023.
C—Bight ’23 Monitoring
Weston will assist the Carlsbad WMA with development of the Bight Monitoring Workplan (representing the
group during the Bight planning process), and conduct sediment monitoring in the Agua Hedionda and
Batiquitos Lagoons as part of the Southern California Bight 2023 Regional Monitoring Program (Bight ’23)
Sediment Quality Assessment. Bight ’23 will be a collaborative monitoring program coordinated through the
Southern California Coastal Watershed Research Project (SCCWRP). Sampling will be conducted in
accordance with Bight protocols to be developed as part of the 2023 Sediment Quality Assessment
Workplan, anticipated to be finalized in spring 2023.
This scope of work includes costs associated with:
Obtaining permits to access and conduct sampling in the estuary.
Sampling preparation and mobilization of equipment prior to sampling the lagoons.
A brief write-up of monitoring efforts summarizing the field activities including completed field data
sheets (Bight template) for inclusion in the Annual Report. This task includes incorporation of one
round of comments from both the County and the District. This write-up will not include sampling
results, discussion or analysis. It is anticipated that the results will be presented in the 2018-2019
annual report (January 2020).
Collection of sediment samples from to 5 locations in each estuary.
Analysis of ten samples, plus one sample duplicate and one field blank for chemical parameters.
Sediment Toxicity testing for ten samples plus one field duplicate.
Benthic infauna analysis for ten samples plus one duplicate.
Formatting data for submission to SCCWRP and CEDEN.
Bight ’23 Monitoring locations will be selected by SCCWRP in a stratified random approach. Sediment
samples will be collected by trained Weston personnel using a Van Veen sampler.
The list of analytes included in the study will be finalized in the final Workplan, anticipated in Spring 2023.
For purposes of this scope of work and estimate, analysis of constituents in the Bight ’18 Sediment Quality
Assessment Workplan are included. Samples will be delivered to Physis Environmental Laboratories, Inc. for
analysis of sediment physical and chemical parameters.
Toxicity testing will be conducted in accordance with the finalized Workplan. It is assumed tests will be similar
to those used in Bight ’18, a short term survival test using the amphipod Eohaustorius estuarius as well as a
sub-lethal sediment-water interface test with the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis. Enthalpy Analytical
(formerly Nautilus Environmental) will perform toxicity testing for this scope of work. Toxicity testing includes
one duplicate sample.
Sediment samples will also be collected for analysis of benthic infauna. Sampling will be conducted in
accordance with the finalized Workplan, using a 0.1 m2 modified Van Veen grab. Samples will be rinsed
through a mesh screen (1.0 mm), preserved and identified to the lowest taxonomic unit practical.
Data reports and EDDs will be sent from the laboratories to Weston. Weston will QA the laboratory data
reports and EDDs and will work with the laboratory to correct and revise reports and EDDs as needed. Upon
receipt of all chemical, toxicity and taxonomy data, Weston will format the data for submission to SCCWRP
and CEDEN.
Task 16—RMAR
Beginning in 2022, and in accordance with Provision F.3.c., Weston will prepare the Carlsbad WMA chapter
of the RMAR that considers the receiving water and MS4 outfall discharge data collected in the Carlsbad
WMA “during the term of this Order” including findings, interpretations and conclusions from assessments
required under Provision D.4.
To support development of the ROWD, the team will develop the Regional Monitoring and Assessment Report
(RMAR) section and the Watershed Management Area specific section of the ROWD for the Carlsbad
SAN MARCOS
01s(OVf~L1Ff'sPon,11UTl[S -------------------------

Watershed. The starting point for these sections will be water quality analysis and implementation
information provided in the WQIP Annual Reports.
The RMAR will provide an analysis of water quality data for the watershed, including attainment of receiving
water limitations and trends, providing the Copermittees an understanding of current conditions within the
watershed and how water quality is changing over time. As part of the RMAR, progress towards attainment
of WQIP goals will also be assessed. Based on results of the RMAR and progress to goals, Copermittees will
assess their WQIP strategies to determine which ones will continue, any that will be discontinued, and any
that will be modified. It is advisable, but not required, to examine the WQIP goals as part of the ROWD
and modify goals as appropriate. It is also recommended that the watershed group identify key modifications to the Permit that would support more effective implementation over the coming Permit term.
Given the likely time frame for the RMAR and ROWD submittals in December 2023, prior to the submittal of the 2022-2023 WQIP Annual Report, the 201x (unknown when revised permit will be adopted) Permit monitoring data available for inclusion in the RMAR will be two transitional years and a single year of monitoring under the existing WQIPs (likely 2021-22). The RMAR preparation schedule must allow time for the RMAR to inform a draft ROWD; therefore, the draft RMAR should be completed by June 2023 for a
September 2023 draft ROWD (note this is after the estimated end of this proposed contract term, ending
June 30 2023). Based on these draft deliverable dates, the bulk of the RMAR preparation will take place
in FY22-23, primarily between February and June 2023.
Task 17—ROWD The San Diego Regional Board is currently in process of re-issuing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Order No. R9-2013-0001, which was subsequently amended in April 2015 and January 2016 (Permit). The new Permit will be effective for approximately five years. The Permit (and the
Clean Water Act) will require the Copermittees to file a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) as an
application for issuance of new Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) no later than 180 days in advance
of the Permit expiration date, anticipated in 2024.
The ROWD task will be led by LWA, who has distinctive expertise in San Diego County assisting with the
development of ROWDs, having assisted the San Diego County Copermittees during the 2016-2017 ROWD.
The ROWD generally needs to include the following:
Key contact information for the Copermittees;
Water quality monitoring results;
Proposed modifications to the Water Quality Improvement Plans (WQIPs), with justifications;
Proposed modifications to the Jurisdictional Runoff Management Plans (JRMPs), with justifications;
and
Best Management Practice (BMP) Design Manual modifications.
For the recent ROWD, submitted in December 2017, the Carlsbad WMA hadn’t implemented the WQIP for very long, therefore the ROWD took minimal effort. For the next ROWD, the watershed will have 5+ years of information. Relying on water quality information and implementation experience since, the team will
develop the RMAR and the WQIP Section through a series of meetings with the watershed group. The team
will also ensure that coordination occurs at the Regional level to ensure consistency in approaches seamless
integration of the watershed specific sections into the Regional ROWD.
Task 18—Prepare Annual Work Plan and Budget
Ms. Mattson will prepare a fiscal year work plan and budget estimate for each fiscal year of Part II of the
Program (FY 20-21, 21-22, 22-23 and 23-24). The work plan and budget will include a breakdown of the schedule and costs for each of the tasks included in Part II of the Program as well as any additional tasks.
The Annual Work Plan and Budget will be used for the Copermittees to set the cost share budget for the
following fiscal year. The Weston Project Manager will work with the City Project Manager to determine the
date of the work pan and budget deliverables.

implementation of watershed-based monitoring and reporting programs. Additionally, Weston is supporting the County with implementation of microbial source tracking studies in San Luis Rey River and San Diego River
watersheds and bacteria TMDL compliance monitoring, and has supported the County with implementation of
the hydro-modification monitoring program. Work conducted during the past 17 years includes the following:
Wet and dry weather mass loading and temporary watershed assessment station monitoring throughout
the County for chemical, microbiological, and biological parameters of concern. The mass loading
stations provide long-term trend information about the region’s stormwater and non-stormwater mass emissions. Temporary stations are used to define constituent loading information to lead to management
actions such as source identification.
Stream biological assessment (bioassessment) monitoring in urban streams throughout the County to
provide trend information of the health and condition of urban streams. This monitoring includes the
taxonomy of fresh water insects to identify species diversity and abundance.
Toxicity identification evaluation and special studies related to source identification.
Ambient bay and lagoon monitoring support and the evaluation of sediment quality objectives (SQOs)
using a triad approach of chemistry, biology, and toxicity assessments in San Diego’s lagoons and bays.
Design and implementation of a monitoring program for ambient bays, lagoons, and coastal waters;
design of a Regional Synthetic Pyrethroid Monitoring Plan; design of a Regional Trash Assessment Work
Plan; design of a framework for conducting MS4 monitoring and source identification; design of
transitional outfall and receiving water monitoring plans; and design of regional source identification studies.
Development and implementation of a hydro-modification monitoring program.
Bioassessment monitoring, including SMC assessments in all watersheds and backcountry in the County.
Design support and monitoring support for the Copermittees Bight ’08, Bight ’13, and Bight ‘18 Monitoring Programs.

Project 2: Loma Alta Slough Nutrient and Microbial Source Tracking Studies, City of Oceanside, CA
Contracting Agency:
City of Oceanside Contracting agency Project Manager/Information: Justin Gamble; (760) 435-5093; JGamble@ci.oceanside.ca.us
Contract Amount: $347,070 (MST) $250,000 (Nutrient) Date of completion: 2015-2017 (MST) 2015-Ongoing (Nutrient)
Project Description: Weston Solutions, Inc. (Weston) conducted a microbial source identification study for the City of Oceanside (City) from 2015-2017 at Buccaneer Beach and in the Loma Alta Creek Watershed funded
by a Clean Beach Initiative (CBI) grant. The primary objectives of this project were: 1) to determine areas of increased fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) loading within the Loma Alta Creek Watershed and Buccaneer Beach
and to identify the sources of fecal contamination that will inform selection of mitigation measures to address
sources with the highest health risk to watershed users; 2) to use study results to identify specific management
strategies that may assist in reducing bacterial contamination to Buccaneer Beach and Loma Alta Slough; and
3) to identify conditions resulting in greater fecal contamination risk to better predict beach advisories.
Weston developed a comprehensive watershed characterization report based on historical monitoring,
infrastructure, and land use data. Other documents Weston prepared for the City of Oceanside prior to monitoring include Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), Monitoring Plan, Project Assessment and Evaluation Plan,
and Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). The SAP monitoring design was scientifically based and supported
by a statistical power analysis. All documents required review and approval by a technical advisory committee
(TAC). Weston staff collected samples that were analyzed for microbial source tracking markers in Weston’s
molecular laboratory. Results were approved by the State Board and TAC and were presented at a Beach Water Quality Meeting per grant requirements
In addition, Weston is currently conducting long-term nutrient water quality monitoring in Loma Alta Slough, an estuarine wetland located at the terminus of Loma Alta Creek at Buccaneer Beach in the City of Oceanside.
The primary objective of this monitoring program is to conduct annual surface water monitoring in Loma Alta
Creek and the Slough in order to assess progress toward attainment of numeric targets outlined in Resolution
R9-2014-0020. This resolution was the first-attempted implementation of an alternative to a total maximum
daily load (TMDL) through a MS4 Permit in the San Diego area. The required Monitoring Plan and QAPP were
submitted and presented to the Regional Water Board and accepted with minimal comments. Specifically, this
monitoring program is designed to address the following questions 1) are watershed flows and the loading of phosphorus to the Slough reduced to levels required to meet the macroalgal numeric targets, and 2) are the
numeric targets for macroalgal cover and biomass in the Slough achieved?
Surface water monitoring is conducted annually utilizing a mass loading station for watershed stream inflow
and nutrient loading from Loma Alta Creek and its tributaries, Slough macroalgal cover and biomass, Slough
water quality nutrient levels, and Slough dissolved oxygen concentrations. Results from the water quality
monitoring are used to prepare annual reports that evaluate and demonstrate water quality improvements
achieved as a result of actions taken to comply with the City of Oceanside’s MS4 Permit and to track progress towards achieving the numeric targets and phosphorus loading reductions to the Slough as outlined in Resolution
R9-2014-0020.
Project Outcome and highlights:
Determination that the City’s best management practice (BMP) was providing improved water quality at the beach, and identification of further study areas in the watershed.
Demonstration of permit-required metric compliance and quantification of nutrient loading to the slough from the watershed. Proposed team members who worked on this project: Andrea Crumpacker (Project Principal/TMDL
Support); Sheila Holt (Project Manager); Alexander Schriewer, Ph.D. (MST Project Manager); Damon Owen
