As Requested, Construction Testing and Engineering (CTE) performed four percolation tests and
two additional confirmation borings within the proposed biofiltration basin areas. The
percolation tests were performed in general accordance with the County of San Diego
Department of Environmental Health (SD DEH) procedures.
Percolation test holes and borings were excavated on May 11 , 2017 with a truck-mounted drill
rig equipped with eight-inch diameter hollow-stem augers. Due to limited access, percolation
test holes P-1 and P-2 were excavated with a manually operated six-inch diameter. The
percolation tests were performed at the approximate elevations of proposed discharge.
Confirmation borings were excavated adjacent to each of the proposed basin areas to a depth of
approximately 20 feet bgs in order to verify that groundwater was not located within 10 feet of
the proposed discharge elevations. These explorations were performed to supplement the
previous exploratory borings advanced by CTE during the geotechnicaJ investigation (9-16-16).
1.0 Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was not encountered during the previous geotechnicaJ investigation and was not
observed in either of the recent confirmatory borings that were advanced to a maximum explored

Presented herein is our response to the City of Carlsbad's review of the Percolation Test Results
for Proposed Biofiltration Basins document dated June 1, 2017.
Issue No. 1: Page 2 the reviewer circled the Percolation Rate of 0.125 inches/hr and provided
the number 0.173.
Response to Issue No. 1: The number 0.125 was determined by taking the final 30 minute fall in
head of 1/16 of an inch, which is 0.0625, and multiplying it by 2 to get the rate of 0.125 inches
per hour. This number is divided by 60 to determine inches/min which is 0.0021.
Issue No. 2: Page 4 the reviewer indicates that tests P-2, P-3 and P-4 have exactly the same
results.
Response to Issue No. 2: This is correct. All three holes were excavated to five feet deep and
had the same percolation rate.
Issue No. 3: Page 5 the reviewer indicates that Table 2.1 is not consistent with 2.0 and circles
Percolation Rate in inches per minute and Infiltration Rate in inches per hour.

Response to Issues No. 3: The tables are consistent. All the percolation rates were 0.0021
inches per hour, and the infiltration rates differ because they factor in depth (P-1 was 66.5 inches
deep and the others were 60 inches) and diameter (P-1 and P-2 were six inches in diameter and
P-3 and P-4 were eight inches in diameter).

2.0 Percolation Test Data
Percolation testing was perfonned in accordance with SD DEH Case I and ID methods, which
are perfonned when presoak water remains in the test hole overnight and when presoak water
infiltrates through the hole overnight, respectively. The presoak duration for all of the recent
tests ranged from approximately 23 to 24 hours, which is within the SD DEH I 5 to 30 hour
presoak range. The approximate percolation test and boring locations are presented on Figure 2.
The associated boring logs are attached. Results of the recent percolation testing are presented in

The percolation test results were obtained in accordance with City and County standards.
However, it shouJd be noted 1hat percolation test results can significantly vary laterally and
vertically due 10 slight changes in soil type, degree of wea1hering, secondary mineralization, md
other physical and chemical variabilities. As such, the test results are considered to be an
estimate of percolation and converted infiltration rates for design purposes. No guarantee is
made based on the percolation testing related to die actual functionality or longevity of
associated infiltmtion basins or other BMP devices designed from the presented infiltration rates.
CTE's conclusions and recommendations are based on an analysis of the obseived conditions. If
conditions different from those described in this report are encountered during constJUction, 1his
office should be notified and additional recommendations, if required, will be provided.
The o~ty to be of service on this project is appreciated. If you have any questiona

Worksheet C.4-1: Categorization of Infiltration Feasibility Condition
Categorization of Infiltration Feasibility Condition Worksheet C.4-1
Part 1 -Full Infiltration Feasibility Screening Criteria
Would infiltration of the full design volume be feasible from a physical perspective without any undesirable
consequences that cannot be reasonably mitigated?
Criteria Screening Question Yes No
Is the estimated reliable infiltration rate below proposed facility locations
greater than 0.5 inches per hour? The response to this Screening Question shall
be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the factors presented in Appendix
C.2 and Appendix D.
X
Provide basis: The NRCS soils across the site are all Type D soils with very high surface runoff. The site soils
are consistent with the NRCS mapped soil types based on site explorations and percolation testing.
Two soil types were present in the area of the proposed development, Quaternary Previously
Placed Fill and Quaternary Old Paralic Deposits.
Four percolation tests were completed, with three tests performed within the Old Paralic Deposits
and one performed in the Previously Placed Fill. The calculated infiltration rates (with an applied
factor of safety of two) ranged from 0.01 I to 0.020 inch per hour.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide
narrative discussion of study/ data source applicability.
2
Can infiltration greater than 0.5 inches per hour be allowed without increasing
risk of geotechnical hazards (slope stability, groundwater mounding, utilities, or
other factors) that cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level? The response to
this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the
factors presented in Appendix C.2.
X
Provide basis: Due to the minimal permeability of the geologic units encountered at the site, surface water would
likely migrate laterally or mound locally. This could result in the water migrating into utility
trench backfill or saturating down gradient foundations or other improvement areas.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide
narrative discussion of study/ data source applicability.

Criteria Screening Question
3
Can infiltration greater than 0.5 inches per hour be allowed without increasing
risk of groundwater contamination (shallow water table, storm water pollutants
or other factors) that cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level? The response
to this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the
factors presented in Appendix C.3.
Yes No
X
Provide basis: According to Geotracker, the nearest known "Open" LUST cleanup site is over 7,000 feet away •
from the site.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide
narrative discussion of study/ data source applicability.
4
Can infiltration greater than 0.5 inches per hour be allowed without causing
potential water balance issues such as change of seasonality of ephemeral
streams or increased discharge of contaminated groundwater to surface waters?
The response to this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive
evaluation of the factors presented in Appendix C.3.
X
Provide basis: The nearest down gradient surface waters are the Pacific Ocean which is over 900 feet from the
site. Due to the significant distance to the ocean it is unlikely to be impacted by infiltrating site
water.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide
narrative discussion of study/ data source applicability.
Part 1

If all answers to rows 1 -4 are "Yes" a full infiltration design is potentially feasible. The
feasibility screening category is Full Infiltration
If any answer from row 1-4 is ''No", infiltration may be possible to some extent but
would not generally be feasible or desirable to achieve a "full infiltration" design.

Pan 2 -Partial Infiltration vs. No Infiltration Feasibility Screening Criteria
Would infiltration of water in any appreciable amount be physically feasible without any negative
consequences that cannot be reasonably mitigated?
Criteria Screening Question
5
Do soil and geologic conditions allow for infiltration in any appreciable rate or
volume? The response to this Screening Question shall be based on a
comprehensive evaluation of the factors presented in Appendix C.2 and
Appendix 0 .
Yes No
X
Provide basis: Due to the native soils percolating at a very slow rate, it is unlikely that any appreciable volume of
water will infiltrate.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide
narrative discussion of study/ data source applicability and why it was not feasible to mitigate low
infiltration rates.
6
Can Infiltration in any appreciable quantity be allowed without increasing risk
of geotechnical hazards (slope stability, groundwater mounding, utilities, or
other factors) that cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level? The response to
this Screening Question shall be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the
factors presented in Appendix C.2.
