DRAINAGE STUDY – THE SEAGLASS AUGUST 2019
1. INTRODUCTION
Project Description
The project is located at 2646 State St. in Carlsbad California. The site exists today as a single lot
with one vacant residential building. The project proposes the demolition of the existing residential
building and constructing a new 8 unit residential condominium. The project will divide the property
into 8 airspace condominium lots via a parcel map.
The project is designed in accordance with the San Diego County Hydrology Manual dated June
2003 and complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board Region 9 MS4 Permit, Order No.
R9-2015-0100. The project does not propose work adjacent regulated waters therefore 401 and 404
permits are not applicable.
Existing Conditions
The 0.25 acre project site is delineated into one drainage area (DMA) because all drainage is conveyed
to one discharge location. The site relatively flat and sheets flows drainage in a southwesterly direction
towards State Street, therefore the southwest most corner of the site is considered the most downstream
edge of the DMA. Storm water then collects and is conveyed in the street gutter of State St. in a
southeasterly direction approximately 190 feet where it is picked up by a public storm drain inlet
located on the east side of State St. The storm continues in the 36” RCP public storm drain north
westerly in State St and ultimately discharges to the Buena Vista Lagoon. The existing single family
dwelling roof drains to the adjacent ground and then sheet flows to State St. The roof area of the
existing house makes up the existing impervious area located on the project site which is approximately
580 square feet. The impervious area of the existing site is 580 square feet or 5% of the site. The peak
storm water run-off was calculated using the rational method equation (Q=CiA). The precipitation
volume of 2.50 inches was used for design consideration according to the San Diego County 100yr 6hr
Isopluvial Map. A 6.6 in/hr intensity was determined from the San Diego County Hydrology Manual
Figure 3-1 assuming the minimum allowable time of concentration of 5 minutes because the site is
relatively small. This resulted in a peak pre-project run-off of Q= 0.63 CFS using a weighted runoff
coefficient of 0.38 based on the existing impervious area.
Proposed Conditions
The project proposes 8 residential townhome style condominium units. The project also proposes a
pervious paver drive isle and LID landscape areas to reduce the proposed impervious footprint. The
impervious area of the proposed developed site is 8,188 square feet or 75% of the site. The proposed
impervious areas will include concrete walkways and roof tops. The pervious areas will include
landscape areas and a paver drive isle. The post project condition has been delineated by one (1)
drainage area to model the post project condition and the point of compliance (POC) is considered to
be the southwesterly most edge of the project which is consistent with the existing condition. PR-1 is
the on-site condition of the proposed project. All roof runoff and on-site storm water runoff will be
directed to LID landscape areas and pervious paver areas and then outflow via sheet flow to the curb
& gutter of State Street. The roof area will be directed via downspouts towards landscape areas
directly adjacent to the paver drive isle and the peak flows will continue to sheet flow across the
paver drive and discharge from the site in same manner as the existing condition. A small storm
drain sump pump is proposed to collect and outlet the subsurface nuisance water collected by the
DRAINAGE STUDY – THE SEAGLASS AUGUST 2019
pervious pavers that is not able to infiltrate into the sub-surface soil layer. The sump pump will
discharge the sub-surface water out to the street gutter of State St. via a sidewalk under-drain. AThe
sump pump detail and pump curve is provided in Appendix 3 of this report. Another 3” sidewalk
underdrain is proposed along the northerly edge of the site solely to provide a drainage path for the
water collected in the landscape strip and runoff generated from the unit entry landings. The water
will then continue in the street gutter of State St. in same manner as the existing condition. The post
project peak un-detained runoff flow was calculated to be 1.3 CFS using the Rational Method Q=CiA
and a weighted runoff coefficient of 0.76 based on 75% impervious area.

2. METHODOLOGY
The proposed project has been analyzed to determine the peak runoff flow for 100 year, 6 hour rainfall
event using the Rational Method per the San Diego County Hydrology Manual, dated June 2003. The
Runoff Coefficient, C, for the existing and proposed conditions were calculated using a weighted average
of C values from Table 3-1 on page 3-6 in the San Diego Hydrology Manual. The time of concentration
for all existing and proposed drainage areas were calculated using the minimum TC of 5 min which yields
an intensity of 6.6 inches per hour from using the equation on Figure 3-1.
The proposed LID best management practices have been sized and located such that all runoff will be
directed to landscape planters or through pervious areas where feasible before ultimately discharging to the
downstream storm drain system.
2.1 Rational Method
As mentioned above, runoff from the project site was calculated for the 100-year storm events. Runoff was
calculated using the Rational Method which is given by the following equation:
Q = C x I x A
Where:
Q = Flow rate in cubic feet per second (cfs)
C = Runoff coefficient (Determined from Table 2, P. 82, City of San Diego Drainage Design Manual)
I = Rainfall Intensity in inches per hour (in/hr)
A = Drainage basin area in acres, (ac)
Rational Method calculations were performed using the City of San Diego Drainage Design Manual
(Section 1-102.3)
2.2 Runoff Coefficient
The Runoff Coefficient, C, for the existing and proposed conditions were calculated using a weighted
average of C values from Table 3-1 on page 3-6 in the San Diego Hydrology Manual. The weighted average
runoff coefficient is based on the actual impervious area which was calculated to be 0.76 in the post project
condition. See section 3.1.2 in the San Diego County Hydrology Manual.
2.3 Rainfall Intensity
Rainfall intensity was determined using the Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency Curves from Figure 3-1
in the San Diego County Hydrology Manual, dated June 2003. Based on a 5 min time of concentration, an
intensity of 6.6 inches per hour was determined.
2.4 Tributary Areas
Drainage basins are delineated in the Post-Project Hydrology Exhibit in Appendix 1 and graphically portray
the tributary area for each drainage basin.

Table 4 above shows a comparison between the peak flow rates and precipitation volume for the proposed
condition and the existing condition.
As shown in Table 4, the project does not increase the peak runoff rate or runoff volume for the design
storms analyzed when comparing the pre-project condition to the post-project condition because the
proposed development is consistent with the land use of the existing condition.
3.2 Detention
The project proposes an increase in total impervious area therefore an increase in peak runoff is anticipated
however, the proposed pervious paver section of the drive isle will capture and retain the initial
concentration of storm water runoff. The pre-project and post post-project volume was calculated to show
the proposed increase in runoff volume. The volume captured by the pervious paver section is greater than
the proposed increase in runoff volume therefore adequate detention is provided and as a result the post
project runoff peak will be less than the pre-project condition because the paver section will provide
sufficient detention. See the detention calculation in Appendix 1 that shows the post-project flow is
captured by the pervious paver section.
3.3 Storm Water Quality
The project’s runoff will be treated for storm water quality by site design and source control measures. The
project does not propose greater than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface therefore the project is
classified as a “Standard” Development project according to the Storm Water Standards Questionnaire (E-
34) therefore, permanent treatment control BMPs are not proposed and a Storm Water Quality Management
Plan has not been prepared. Low Impact Design was implemented by locating pervious areas where feasible
to minimize the impervious footprint and to direct storm water runoff towards pervious areas before leaving
the site.
4. CONCLUSION
As discussed previously, the proposed project’s peak runoff flow and volume does not increase in
comparison to the existing condition because of the proposed pervious paver areas capture the additional
volume, therefore, the project will not negatively affect downstream facilities since the overall peak flow
rate will remain the same. The project does not negatively impact adjacent properties. It is my professional
opinion that the storm drain systems as proposed in this report and on the grading plans herein is adequate
to intercept, contain and convey Q100 and will not create negative impacts to the downstream system.
