To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the city requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMPs) into the project design per Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (BMP Manual). To view the BMP Manual,
refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 5).
This questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application
(subdivision, discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results of the questionnaire determine the level of
storm water standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the
outcome, your project will either be subject to 'STANDARD PROJECT' requirements or be subject to 'PRIORITY
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT' (PDP) requirements.
Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts. City
staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff
determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than
initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please
make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the city.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted with each development project application. Only one
completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project are
submitted concurrently.

Description of Existing Site Topography and Drainage [How is storm water runoff conveyed
from the site? At a minimum, this description should answer (1} whether existing drainage
conveyance is natural or urban; (2) describe existing constructed storm water conveyance
systems, if applicable; and (3) is runoff from offsite conveyed through the site? if so, describe]:
Parcel 1 is bordered by Carlsbad Village Drive to the north, and existing residential developments
to the east, south, and west. Topographically, the property consists of gently sloping hillside
terrain with elevations ranging from a high of approximately 280 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL} near
the southwestern property line to a low of approximately 205 feet MSL at the property's
northeastern comer. Currently, the property is occupied by one residential structure with two
sheds. An existing crib wall, approximately 26 feet high and 300 feet long, is located along the
north boundary of the site. Site drainage is presently accomplished through a generally
northeasterly trending ravine and sheet flows southeasterly to drainage facilities along Carlsbad
Village Drive. Existing brow ditches at the top of cut slopes along the southeastern project
boundary direct runoff to existing catch basins, which ultimately discharge into the storm drain
system underneath Carlsbad Village Drive. Existing brow ditches at the top of cut slopes along
the crib wall direct runoff to sidewalk underdrain pipes at various locations along Carlsbad Village
Drive and eventually enter the storm drain system underneath Carlsbad Village Drive via Type-B
Curb Inlet at the east comer of the project boundary. Vegetation consists of native grasses and
eucalyptus trees over the majority of the site. The on-site soil classification is Type-B and Type-
D from USDA Web Soil Survey (see References}.
Parcel 2 is bordered by Carlsbad Village Drive to the south, Rising Glen Way to the east, and a
multi-story apartment complex to the north. Topographically, the property is a hillside dominated
by an east to west trending ridge that rises approximately 50 feet above the lowest site terrain
along the northwestern property line. Site terrain continues to support bare ground and scattered
shrubs. The on-site soil classification is Type-D from USDA Web Soil Survey (see References}.
The existing drainage area is divided into six basins and one POC, located east of the project site
near Carlsbad Village Drive. The Existing Condition Hydrology Map shows the four drainage
Basins labeled A through D for Parcel 1 and drainage Basins E and F for Parcel 2. Basin A sheet
flows from the southwest side of the existing residence, across the existing driveway and into an
existing brow ditch at the top of the cut slope along the southeasterly project boundary line. An
existing catch basin at the east comer of the project boundary intercepts this runoff and connects
to the existing storm drain system underneath Carlsbad Village Drive.
Basin B sheet flows from the top of the southwesterly ravine and towards the easterly boundary
of the subject property and into an existing brow ditch. The brow ditch conveys flow into an
existing catch basin where it enters the storm drain system underneath Afton Way. This storm
drain system connects with the existing storm drain system underneath Celinda Drive and
eventually Carlsbad Village Drive.
Basin C is limited to the storm flows that land on the existing driveway, with some flow-on from
the ravine located between the neighboring properties and upstream of the driveway. Runoff is

carried through the existing curb and gutter along the driveway and discharges onto Afton Way
and toward curb inlets on Celinda Drive .
Basin D is north of Basin A and sheet flows from the top of the ridge west of the existing on-site
property and towards Carlsbad Village Drive through a series of brow ditches and sidewalk
underdrain pipes. Basin D also includes run-on coming from the highest point of Carlsbad Village
Drive to the existing Type-B Curb Inlet at the southwest corner of the intersection of Celinda Drive
and Carlsbad Village Drive.
Basin E is in the northwest portion of Parcel 2. Runoff sheet flows from the top of the ridge and
onto Carlsbad Village Drive, then discharges into an existing Type-B Curb Inlet at the northwest
corner of Celinda Drive and Carlsbad Village Drive. Basin E also includes run-on coming from
the highest point of Carlsbad Village Drive to the existing curb inlet.
Basin F is located in Parcel 2 and sheet flows east from the top of the hill towards the existing
parking lot in the back of the existing multi-story apartment complex. This area that acts in a
sheet flow condition comprises of approximately 0.23 acres. Sheet flow analysis is not necessary
for this area as the proposed project does not propose any new impervious area added to Basin
F. In addition, no impervious contributing area is added to Basin E and therefore does not include
a post-development hydrologic analysis .

Project Description / Proposed Land Use and/or Activities:
The Afton Way Project proposes the development of 8 residential lots and grading of pads and
driveways, and a new public cul-de-sac on Afton Way. The project also proposes drainage facility
improvements consisting of minor concrete drainage channels, storm drain pipes, curb inlets, and
two detention-biofiltration basins for storm water treatment and hydromodification. Storm water
runoff from the project site is routed to one POC, located east of the project site near Carlsbad
Village Drive. Runoff is drained to tow independent onsite receiving biofiltration LID IMPs called
Basin 1 and Basin 2. The disturbed area is approximately 3.37 acres of the 4.94 acre site.
Proposed land-use is 2.88 DU/Ac .
List/describe proposed impervious features of the project (e.g., buildings, roadways, parking
lots, courtyards, athletic courts, other impervious features):
The proposed impervious features of the project include the 8 proposed single-family
residences and driveways and the new cul-de-sac on Afton Way .
List/describe proposed pervious features of the project (e.g., landscape areas):
The proposed pervious features of the project include landscape areas surrounding the
proposed residences and the (2) proposed biofiltration basins on Lot 9 .
Does the project include grading and changes to site topography?
[8J Yes
□ No
Description/ Additional Information:
Project grading will occur on approximately 3.37 acres of the project. Grading on the site has
been minimized to the maximum extent possible. The existing residential house and sheds
located on site will be removed as part of the project. The project as proposed will endeavor to
maintain the existing cross lot drainage condition for both overall rate and flow conditions. See
the DMA Exhibit for post-development drainage patterns. Impervious surfaces have been
minimized where feasible.

Does the project include changes to site drainage (e.g., installation of new storm water
conveyance systems)?
[g!Yes
□ No
Description / Additional Information:
The proposed drainage pattern will be similar to the existing drainage pattern with some
modifications to incorporate the Best Management Practices (BMPs) into the project design to
mimic the impacts on storm water runoff and quality. The proposed runoff from the project site is
divided into five (5) Drainage Management Areas (DMAs): (1) OMA Draining to a Biofiltration IMP
and (4) Self-Mitigating DMAs. One Point of Compliance (POC-1) has been identified at Node
105, which is the point at which the majority of the proposed site runoff will be discharge to the
Carlsbad MS4 system (see Attachment 1 for Drainage Management Area (OMA) Exhibit).
Only Basins A through D are being developed and will consider urban runoff flow rates, durations
and velocities. The developed Basin A, or OMA 1, will encompass runoff from Lots 1-6, which
will be directed to the front of each lot and onto the proposed cul-de-sac. Runoff will then travel
via curb and gutter to a proposed Type-B Curb Inlet on the south side of Afton Way. Runoff from
Lots 7 and 8 will be directed to the front of each lot and onto the proposed cul-de-sac, then travel
via curb and gutter to a proposed Type-B Curb Inlet on the north side of Afton Way. The proposed
curb inlets will connect to a proposed 18"-dia PVC storm drain pipe adjacent to the eastern project
boundary. The 18"-dia storm drain pipe will discharge into a modified Type A-7 Clean Out (per
SDRSD D-09). The cleanout will include (2) orifices to distribute flow. The size of the orifices are
a function of the size of each basin divided by the area of the two basins combined. Once flows
are routed via the proposed orifices, the flows are then conveyed via storm drain pipes to the
receiving biofiltration LID I MPs called Basin 1 and Basin 2 for treatment and detention. Outflows
from the basins will be conveyed via 12" -dia storm drain pipe to the existing Type-B Curb Inlet at
POC-1.
The majority of the off-site run-on from Basin B will be intercepted by a proposed brow ditch along
the southern and eastern project boundary line and directed to a proposed catch basin on the
south side of Afton Way. The catch basin will connect to a proposed 18"-dia storm drain system
which will connect to the existing 18" -dia storm drain system underneath Afton Way and
eventually Carlsbad Village Drive. The existing slopes will remain undisturbed and will drain
directly offsite, therefore being considered a Self-mitigating OMA, SM 1, per Chapter 5 Section
5.2.1 of the City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (BMP OM).
The off-site run-on from Basin C will be intercepted by a proposed brow ditch along the western
project boundary line and directed to a proposed catch basin near the congruent property line of
Lot 4 and Lot 5. The catch basin will outlet to a proposed 18"-dia PVC storm drain system which
will travel under the proposed cul-de-sac and connect to the existing 18"-dia storm drain system
underneath Afton Way and eventually Carlsbad Village Drive. The existing slopes will remain
undisturbed and will drain directly offsite, therefore being considered a Self-mitigating OMA, SM
2, per the BMP OM.

The remaining runoff in Basin D is proposed to be intercepted by the existing brow ditches at the
top of cut slopes along the crib wall and directed to the existing sidewalk underdrain pipes at
various locations along Carlsbad Village Drive. The runoff will then enter the existing storm drain
system underneath Carlsbad Village Drive as historically. The existing slopes will remain
undisturbed and will drain directly offsite, therefore being considered a Self-mitigating DMA, SM-
3, per the BMP DM .
The proposed drainage facility improvements will consist of minor concrete drainage channels,
storm drain pipes, curb inlets, and two detention-biofiltration basins. The biofiltration basins
proposed for the four main Drainage Basins A - D are designed so that increases in the drainage
discharge rate and velocity will be mitigated up to the 100-year runoff. The proposed biofiltration
basins will serve to detain the very minor calculated increase in runoff created by the proposed
development, and to mitigate any concentration of storm water discharge that might cause
erosion .

When applicable, list other site requirements or constraints that will influence storm water
management design, such as zoning requirements including setbacks and open space, or
local codes governing minimum street width, sidewalk construction, allowable pavement
types, and drainage requirements .
The project proposes single family residential dwellings constructed on lots that range from
12,200 sf to 19,200 sf. The space available to install suitable private biofiltration basins is very
limited .
The Type-D soil existing on-site provides little opportunity for infiltration of storm water runoff
into native soils. Storm water strategies that utilize infiltration are not suitable; therefore
biofiltration basins will be lined with an impermeable liner to prevent infiltration of storm water.
The site currently has a northerly-facing slope descending from the project site to Carlsbad
Village Drive. An open space between the grading of pads and the northerly boundary line will
remain untouched to protect the steep slope from failure and erosion. Special precautions must
be taken while grading the pads so that the open space does not channel the flow in any way,
but instead the pads display an even grade and distribute the runoff evenly to the proposed cul-
de-sac .

SUMMARY OF PDP STRUCTURAL BMPS
All PDPs must implement structural BMPs for storm water pollutant control (see Chapter 5 of the
BMP Design Manual). Selection of PDP structural BMPs for storm water pollutant control must
be based on the selection process described in Chapter 5. PDPs subject to hydromodification
management requirements must also implement structural BMPs for flow control for
hydromodification management (see Chapter 6 of the BMP Design Manual). Both storm water
pollutant control and flow control for hydromodification management can be achieved within the
same structural BMP(s) .
PDP structural BMPs must be verified by the local jurisdiction at the completion of construction.
This may include requiring the project owner or project owner's representative to certify
construction of the structural BMPs (see Section 1.12 of the BMP Design Manual). PDP
structural BMPs must be maintained into perpetuity, and the local jurisdiction must confirm the
maintenance (see Section 7 of the BMP Design Manual) .
Use this form to provide narrative description of the general strategy for structural BMP
implementation at the project site in the box below. Then complete the PDP structural BMP
summary information sheet (page 3 of this form) for each structural BMP within the project (copy
the BMP summary information page as many times as needed to provide summary information
for each individual structural BMP).
Describe the general strategy for structural BMP implementation at the site. This information
must describe how the steps for selecting and designing storm water pollutant control BMPs
presented in Section 5.1 of the BMP Design Manual were followed, and the results (type of
BMPs selected). For projects requiring hydromodification flow control BMPs, indicate whether
pollutant control and flow control BMPs are integrated or separate.
For the purpose of this SWOMP, the proposed site condition has been divided into (5) Drainage
Management Areas (DMAs): (1) OMA Draining to a Biofiltration IMP and (4) Self-Mitigating
DMAs. The DMAs have been delineated based on onsite drainage patters and BMP locations.
Biofiltration basins (BF-1) were chosen as the structural BMP for DMAs draining to IMPs. Two
biofiltration basins, Basin 1 and Basin 2, will be used for pollutant control and peak flow control
for the project stormwater runoff.
The outlet structure for Basin 1 and Basin 2 have been designed based on results from the
Technical Memorandum: SWMM Modeling for Hydromodification Compliance for Afton Way,
dated April 9, 2015 from Tory R. Walker Engineering under separate cover (see Attachments
section of this Report for copy of Technical Memorandum). This SWMM Model demonstrates
Hydromodification Compliance at the proposed basins for the 02 to 010 return periods as
specified in the County of San Diego Hydromodification Plan (HMP). Based on the hydrologic
model used in the technical memorandum titled above, a separate SWMM analysis has been
prepared that describes the pre and post-development hydrologic analysis ensures that post-
development peak flow is less than or equal to pre-development peak flow for the 6-hour 100-
year storm event at the project's point of compliance (POC-1 ). See References for copy of Title
Page, Technical Memorandum: Determination of Pre-and Post-Developed 100-year Peak Flow

from Tory R. Walker Engineering dated June 17, 2015. The Rational Method study provided in
the associated Drainage Report for this project incorporates the outlet structure design in the
Technical Memorandum, and is meant to enhance the study from Tory R. Walker Engineering,
Inc. to show the site can sufficiently convey the 100 year storm event.
The two I MPs are responsible for handling hydromodification requirements for the project site. In
developed conditions, both Basins 1 and 2 will have a surface depth of 3 feet and 2.5 feet, and a
riser spillway structure (see dimensions in the DMNIMP Sizing Exhibit in Attachments). Flows
will discharge from the biofiltration cells via a low flow orifice outlet within the gravel layer or a
surface slot with the riser structure. The top of the riser structure will act as a spillway, such that
peak flows can be safely discharged to the receiving storm drain system .
Beneath the invert of the basins' lowest surface discharge lies the proposed LID biofiltration
portion of the drainage facility. This portion of the basins is comprised of 12 inches of surface
storage, an 18-inch layer of amended soil (a highly sandy, organic rich composite with an
infiltration capacity of at least 5 inches/hr.) and a 12-inch layer of gravel for additional detention
and to accommodate the French drain system. These systems will treat storm water and convey
flows to a small diameter lower outlet orifice. Once flows have been routed by the outlet
structures, flows will then discharge independently from each basin to the receiving POC
discharge location .
The biofiltration basins were modeled using the biofiltration LID module within SWMM. Please
refer to Appendix 1 of the Technical Memorandum: Determination of Pre-and Post-Developed
100-year Peak Flow for details explaining the biofiltration module .
The DCV for DMA 1 has been calculated based on the proposed impervious roof and landscape
areas draining to each BMP. Worksheet B.5-1 in Attachment 1d further demonstrates that the
full DCV can be treated within the biofiltration BMPs.
Based on recommendations from the Geotechnical report, infiltration from the biofiltration basins
is not considered to be appropriate for the project. The bottom of the basins will be lined with an
impermeable liner to prevent infiltration of storm water. See copy of Geotechnical report titled
"Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Afton Way Residential Development for 2200 Afton Way,
Carlsbad, CA", by Leighton and Associates, Inc. in Attachments section.

Form 1-7, Harvest and Use Feasibility Screening Checklist
1. Is there a demand for harvested water (check all that apply) at the project site that is reliably present during the
wet season?
~ Toilet and urinal flushing
~ Landscape irrigation
D Other:
2. If there is a demand; estimate the anticipated average wet season demand over a period of 36 hours. Guidance
for planning level demand calculations for toilet/urinal flushing and landscape irrigation is provided in Section
B.3.2 .
Modified E1WU = ETowetX [!L(PF x HA)/IE] + SLA] x 0.015
Using an average value for HA over the 8 residential lots and Low Plant Water Use (per Table B.3-2);
Modified E1WU = 2.7 x [[(0.2 x 83,708)/0.9] + O] x 0.015
Modified E1WU= 753
(Total pervious area= 83,708 sf)
3. Calculate the DCV using worksheet B-2.1.
DCV = ~3_2=3=8 ___ (cubic feet)
3a. Is the 36 hour demand greater
than or equal to the DCV?
D Yes I C8] No
-0, c::>
Harvest and use appears to be
feasible. Conduct more detailed
evaluation and sizing calculations to
confirm that DCV can be used at an
adequate rate to meet drawdown
criteria.
3b. Is the 36 hour demand greater than
0.25DCV but less than the full DCV?
D Yes I C8] No
-0, c::>
Harvest and use may be feasible.
Conduct more detailed evaluation and
sizing calculations to determine
feasibility. Harvest and use may only
be able to he used for a portion of the
site, or (optionally) the storage may
need to be upsized to meet long term
capture targets while draining in longer
than 36 hours .
33
3c. Is the 36 hour demand
less than 0.25DCV?
C8] Yes

C8J No, select alternate BMPs
Harvest and use BMPs are considered infeasible. Drought tolerant landscape, as proposed in SD-7 in Form E-36,
requires low plant water use. Project will implement other LID strategies such as impervious area dispersion. The
full DCV can be treated in the proposed biofiltration basins. Property owners will be encouraged to use rain
barrels after construction to reduce runoff volumes .

Form 1-8, Categorization of Infiltration Feasibility Condition
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 .
Provide basis:
No
Percolation testing was performed in the location of the proposed biofiltration basins to evaluation
suitability of the site for infiltration of storm water. According to the Geotechnica/ Investigation, 2200 Afton
W ~, Carlsbad, CA by Leighton and Associates, Inc., "The results of the percolation test indicated that the
site soils had a percolation rate of greater than 125 minutes per inch (mpi). Generally a percolation rate
less than 120 mpi is considered necessary to consider a site suitable for onsite infiltration of storm water.
Additionally the presence of shallow clayey sand and clay materials present in much of the site would be
expected to impede infiltration and a 30-mil HDPE should be considered to line any proposed infiltration
basin."
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 .
Provide basis:
Yes
According to the Geotechnical Investigation, "the presence of shallow clayey sand and clay materials
present in much of the site would be expected to impede infiltration." Clayey sand and clay materials have
a high shrink-swell potential, a high water table, a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and are
shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. It is also
noted by geotechnical engineer that saturation of storm water into the proposed slopes can result in shallow
slope failure. But provided that the recommendations contained in the geological report are incorporated
into the final design, subsurface and surface water are not anticipated to affect site development.

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 .
Provide basis:
No
Although groundwater was not encountered within the geotechnical report, an infiltration rate greater than
0.5 inches per hour cannot be achieved.
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.
Provide basis:
No
Although there are no potential water balance issues or contaminated groundwater, an infiltration rate
greater than 0.5 inches per hour cannot be achieved.
Part1
Result
*
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.

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
AppendixD.
Provide basis:
Yes
Per the Geotechnical Investigation, "percolation test indicated that the site soils had a percolation rate of greater
than 125 minutes per inch (mpi). Generally a percolation rate less than 120 mpi is considered necessary to
consider a site suitable for onsite infiltration of storm water." Additionally the presence of shallow clayey
sand and clay materials present in much of the site would be expected to impede infiltration and a 30-mil
HDPE should be considered to line any proposed infiltration basin." Therefore the soil will allow for a
percolation rate greater than 125 mpi, although the rate is unacceptable for a suitable infiltration basin. See
Attachment 8 of Technical Memorandum: SWMM Modeling for Hydromodificaiton Compliance of: Afton
Way, Carlsbad, CA for copy of geotechnical study .
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 .
Provide basis:
No
Based on recommendations from the geotechnical report, infiltration basins could "potentially create
adverse perched ground water conditions both on-site and off-site. Therefore given the site geologic
conditions, impermeable subsurface material, and project type, infiltration type LID measures are not
considered to be appropriate for this site and project, 30 mil HDPE Liners should be used where detention
areas are proposed near slopes or retaining walls, near buildings, or over utilities."

Can infiltration be allowed without violating downstream
water rights? The response to this Screening Question shall
be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the factors

Yes
The project will mimic existing drainage conditions. There are no downstream water rights applicable.
If all answers from row 5-8 are yes then partial infiltration design is potentially
Part 2 feasible. The feasibility screening category is Partial Infiltration .

1) The biofiltration basin has be designed in accordance with City of Carlsbad BMP Design
Manual (BMP DM) sizing criteria, which includes minimum BMP footprint and draw
down requirements. The OMA has been delineated based on onsite drainage patterns and
BMP locations. Based on Chapter 3 Section 3.3.3 of the BMP DM, a single OMA may
not drain to more than one BMP. Therefore the biofiltration BMP must be sized to treat
the DCV from the total drainage area draining to the BMP.
Used BMP Footprint= 2,290 sf= 1,805 sf (Basin 1) + 485 sf (Basin 2)
2) Since partial infiltration is considered infeasible, the infiltration rate in Llne 2 is set to 0
inches/hour. Therefore the volume retained by the BMP is essentially O cubic-feet and
the DCV that requires biofiltration, Llne 10, is equal to Llne 1.

BlofHtration Criteria Checldist
The applicant must provide documentation of compliance with each criterion in this checklist as
part of the project submittal. The right column of this checklist identifies the submittal information
that is recommended to document compliance with each criterion. Biofiltration BMPs that
substantially meet all aspects of Fact Sheets PR-1 or BF-1 should still use this checklist; however
additional documentation (beyond what is already required for project submittal) should not be
required.
1. Biofiltration BMPs must be allowed to be used only as described in the BMP
selection process based on a documented feasibility analysis.
Intent: This manual defines a specific prioritization of pollut«nt treatment BMPs, where BMPs that
retain water (retained includes evapotranspired, infiltrated, and/ or harvested and used) must be used
before considering BMPs that have a biofiltered discharge to the MS4 or surface waters. Use of a
biofiltration BMP in a manner in conflict with this prioritization (i.e., without a feasibility analysis
justifying its use) is not permitted, regardless of the adequacy of the sizing and design of the system.

2. Biofiltration BMPs must be sized using acceptable sizing methods .
Intent: The MS4 Permit and this manual defines specific sizing methods that must be used to size
biofiltration BMPs. Sizing of biofiltration BMPs is a fundamental factor in the amount of storm
water that can be treated and also influences volume and pollutant retention processes.
The project applicant has demonstrated that
biofiltration BMPs are sized to meet one of the
biofiltration sizing options available (Appendix
B).
Submit sizing worksheets (Appendix B) or
other equivalent documentation with the
SWQMP.
3. Biofiltration BMPs must be sited and designed to achieve maximum feasible
infiltration and evapotranspiration.
Intent: Various decisions about BMP placement and design influence how much water is retained via
infiltration and evapotranspiration. The MS4 Permit requires that biofiltration BMPs achieve
maximum feasible retention (evapotranspiration and infiltration) of storm water volume.

7. Biofiltration BMP must include operations and maintenance design features and
planning considerations for continued effectiveness of pollutant and flow control
functions.
Intent: Biofiltration BMPs require regular maintenance in order provide ongoing function as
intended. Additionally, it is not possible to foresee and avoid potential issues as part of design;
therefore plans must be in place to correct issues if they arise.
The biofiltration BMP maintenance plan
describes specific inspection activities,
regular/periodic maintenance activities and
specific corrective actions relating to scour,
erosion, channeling, media clogging, vegetation
health, and inflow and outflow structures.
Include maintenance plan with the SWQMP as
described in Chapter 7.

D. Safety
Keep safety considerations at the forefront of inspection procedures at all times. Likely
hazards should be anticipated and avoided. Never enter a confined space (outlet structure,
manhole, etc) without proper training or equipment. A confined space should never be
entered without at least one additional person present.
If a toxic or flammable substance is discovered, leave the immediate area and contact the
local Sheriff at 911.
Potentially dangerous (e.g., fuel, chemicals, hazardous materials) substances found in the
areas must be referred to the local Sheriffs Office immediately for response by the Hazardous
Materials Unit. The emergency contact number is 911 .
Vertical drops may be encountered in areas located within and around the facility. Avoid
walking on top of retaining walls or other structures that have a significant vertical drop. If a
vertical drop is identified within the pond that is greater than 48" in height, make the
appropriate note/comment on the maintenance inspection form.
VI. Summary of Drainage Areas and Stormwater Facilities
A. Drainage Areas
The proposed development consists of eight residential home pads, driveways, retaining
walls, brow ditches, storm drain pipes, and two (2) biofiltration basins. The proposed
improvements will disturb 3.37 acres.
The proposed drainage pattern will be similar to the existing drainage pattern with some
modifications to incorporate the Best Management Practices (BMPs) into the project design
to mimic the impacts on storm water runoff and quality. The proposed runoff from the project
site is divided into five (5) Drainage Management Areas (DMAs): (1) OMA Draining to a
Biofiltration IMP and (4) Self-Mitigating DMAs. One Point of Compliance (POC-1) has been
identified the existing Type B curb inlet on the south side of Carlsbad Village Drive, which is
the point at which the majority of the proposed site runoff will be discharge to the Carlsbad
MS4 system (see Attachment 1 for Drainage Management Area (OMA) Exhibit).
Only Basins A through D are being developed and will consider urban runoff flow rates,
durations and velocities. The developed Basin A, or OMA 1, will encompass runoff from Lots
1-6, which will be directed to the front of each lot and onto the proposed cul-de-sac. Runoff
will then travel via curb and gutter to a proposed Type-B Curb Inlet on the south side of Afton
Way. Runoff from Lots 7 and 8 will be directed to the front of each lot and onto the proposed
55
-... ..
..
• ..
..
• -...
---
-
---
-
--.. ----..
-
---...
cul-de-sac, then travel via curb and gutter to a proposed Type-B Curb Inlet on the north side
of Afton Way. The proposed curb inlets will connect to a proposed 18"-dia PVC storm drain
pipe adjacent to the eastern project boundary. The 18"-dia storm drain pipe will discharge
into a modified Type A6 Cleanout (per SDRSD D-09). The cleanout will include (2) orifices to
distribute flow. The size of the orifices are a function of the size of each basin divided by the
area of the two basins combined. Once flows are routed via the proposed orifices, the flows
are then conveyed via storm drain pipes to the receiving biofiltration LID IMPs called Basin 1
and Basin 2 for treatment and detention. Outflows from the basins will be conveyed via 12"-
dia storm drain pipe to the existing Type-B Curb Inlet at POC-1 .
The majority of the off-site run-on from Basin B will be intercepted by a proposed brow ditch
along the southern and eastern project boundary line and directed to a proposed catch basin
on the south side of Afton Way. The catch basin will connect to a proposed 18"-dia storm
drain system which will connect to the existing 18"-dia storm drain system underneath Afton
Way and eventually Carlsbad Village Drive. The existing slopes will remain undisturbed and
will drain directly offsite, therefore being considered a Self-mitigating DMA, SM-1, per Chapter
5 Section 5.2.1 of the City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (BMP DM).
The off-site run-on from Basin C will be intercepted by a proposed brow ditch along the
western project boundary line and directed to a proposed catch basin near the congruent
property line of Lot 4 and Lot 5. The catch basin will outlet to a proposed 18"-dia PVC storm
drain system which will travel under the proposed cul-de-sac and connect to the existing 18"-
dia storm drain system underneath Afton Way and eventually Carlsbad Village Drive. The
existing slopes will remain undisturbed and will drain directly offsite, therefore being
considered a Self-mitigating DMA, SM-2, per the BMP DM.
The remaining runoff in Basin D is proposed to be intercepted by the existing brow ditches at
the top of cut slopes along the crib wall and directed to the existing sidewalk underdrain pipes
at various locations along Carlsbad Village Drive. The runoff will then enter the existing storm
drain system underneath Carlsbad Village Drive as historically. The existing slopes will
remain undisturbed and will drain directly offsite, therefore being considered a Self-mitigating
DMA, SM-3, per the BMP DM.
The proposed drainage facility improvements will consist of minor concrete drainage
channels, storm drain pipes, curb inlets, and two detention-biofiltration basins. The
biofiltration basins proposed for the four main Drainage Basins A - D are designed so that
increases in the drainage discharge rate and velocity will be mitigated up to the 100-year
runoff. The proposed biofiltration basins will serve to detain the very minor calculated increase
in runoff created by the proposed development, and to mitigate any concentration of storm
water discharge that might cause erosion.
B. Treatment and Flow-Control Facilities
All stormwater runoff will be treated by the biofiltration basins. Flows will discharge from the
biofiltration cells via a low flow orifice outlet within the gravel layer or a surface slot within the
riser structure. The top of the riser will act as a spillway, such that peak flows can be safely
56

.. ..

-
--------
discharged to the receiving storm drain system. A perforated under-drain pipe will be located
at the bottom of the basins and will connect to the proposed storm drain system. The
proposed storm drain system will outlet at the existing Type B curb inlet on Carlsbad Village
Drive.
See the DMA Exhibit for the location of BMPs.
The biofiltration basins are designed to treat and detain runoff. Pollutants are removed as
the runoff passes through the soil layer and the underlying layer of gravel or drain rock. A
perforated underdrain pipe will convey flow to the proposed storm drain system. Infiltration of
the storm water will not be allowed, and the basins will be lined with a 30-mil HOPE
impermeable liner. There will be an overflow outlet, which will convey flows that exceed the
capacity of the basins. The basins for this Project are sized for pollutant control and
hydromodification control, based on the City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual.
VII. Facility Documentation
Please see the following pages regarding the BMPs details and maintenance fact sheets.
VIII. Maintenance Schedule and Checklist
Fill out the Checklists in the following pages for each BMP. The Required Maintenance activities
are at the end of this section. At the discretion of the Project proponent, a qualified Stormwater
company may be hired to perform the required inspection and maintenance and provide
necessary reports.

Stormwater Facility Operation and Maintenance Fact Sheet
► BIORETENTION FACILITIES
These facilities remove pollutants primarily by filtering runoff slowly through aerobic, biologically
active soil. Routine maintenance is needed to ensure that flow is unobstructed, that erosion is
prevented, and that soils are held together by plant roots and are biologically active. Typical
maintenance consists of the following:
■ Inspect Inlets for channels, exposure of soils, or other evidence of erosion. Clear any
obstructions and remove any accumulation of sediment. Examine rock or other material
used as a splash pad and replenish if necessary.
■ Inspect outlets for erosion or plugging.
■ Inspect side slopes for evidence of instability or erosion and correct as necessary.
■ Observe the surface of bioretention facility soil for uniform percolation throughout. If
portions of the bioretention facility do not drain within 24 hours after the end of a storm,
the soil should be tilled and replanted. Remove any debris or accumulations of sediment.
■ Confirm that check dams and flow spreaders are in place and level and that rivulets and
channelization are effectively prevented.
■ Examine the vegetation to ensure that it is healthy and dense enough to provide filtering
and to protect soils from erosion. Replenish mulch as necessary, remove fallen leaves and
debris, prune large shrubs or trees, and mow turf areas. When mowing, remove no more
than t/Jheight of grasses. Confirm that irrigation is adequate and not excessive and that
sprays do not directly enter overflow grates. Replace dead plants and remove noxious and
invasive vegetation.
■ Abate any potential vectors by filling holes in the ground in and around the bioretention
facility and by insuring that there are no areas where water stands longer than 48 hours
following a storm. If mosquito larvae are present and persistent, contact the San Diego
County Vector Control Program for information and advice. Mosquito larvicides should
be applied only when absolutely necessary and then only by a licensed individual or
contractor.

Summary of SWMM Modeling for Hydromodification Compliance for Afton Way,
Carlsbad, CA.
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum summarizes the approach used to model the Afton Way project in the City of
Carlsbad, CA, using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Storm Water Management Model 5.0
(SWMM). SWMM analyses were prepared for the pre and post-developed conditions at the site in order
to determine if the proposed LID biofiltration facilities meet the Hydromodification Management Plan
(HMP) requirements from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB) as
established in the Final HMP Document dated March 2011, prepared by Brown & Caldwell for the
County of San Diego Copermittees, which includes the City of Carlsbad.
SWMM Model Development
The Afton Way project proposes 8 single-family homes with associated landscaping and hardscape
improvements on the property at 2200 Afton Way in Carlsbad, CA, which currently consists of an
existing residential structure with two sheds, an access road and open space with native grasses and
eucalyptus trees on most of the site. Two SWMM simulations were prepared for this study: the first for
the pre-development and the second for the post-developed conditions. The project site drains to one
Point of Compliance (POC). For both SWMM simulations, flow duration curves were prepared to
determine if the proposed HMP facility is sufficient to meet the current HMP requirements.
The inputs required to develop SWMM simulations include rainfall, watershed characteristics, and BMP
configurations. The Oceanside Gage from the Project Clean Water website was used for this study, since
it is the most representative of the project site precipitation due to elevation and proximity to the
project site. Evaporation for the site was modeled using average monthly values from the County hourly
dataset. The site was modeled with Type B/C and Type D hydrologic soils as determined from the
"Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Afton Way Residential Development, 2200 Afton Way Carlsbad,
CA", by Leighton and Associates, Inc. (see Attachment 8). In existing conditions, soils have been
assumed to be uncompacted for the pervious area, compacted for the impervious area of the site in the

HMP MODELING
DEVELOPED CONDITIONS
Storm water runoff from the proposed project site is routed to one POC, located east of the project site
near Carlsbad Village Drive. Runoff is drained to two independent onsite receiving biofiltration LID IMPs
called Basin 1 and Basin 2. The area that drains to each basin is a function of the size of each basin
divided by the area of the two basins combined (See Table 1). Once flows are routed via the proposed
LID I MPs, the flows are then conveyed via storm drain to the aforementioned POC.
TABLE 1-TRIBUTARY AREAS TO EACH BASIN
1 1,805 79% 2.83 79%
2 485 21% 0.76 21%
Total 2,290 100% 3.59 100%
(ll This area does not include the area of the biofiltration basin .
The two IMPs are responsible for handling hydromodification requirements for the project site. In
developed conditions, both Basins 1 and 2 will have a surface depth of 2.5 feet and a riser spillway
structure (see dimensions in Tables 2 and 3). Flows will discharge from the biofiltration cells via a low
flow orifice outlet within the gravel layer or a surface slot within the riser structures. The top of the riser
structures will act as a spillway, such that peak flows can be safely discharged to the receiving storm
drain system.
Beneath the invert of the basins' lowest surface discharge lies the proposed LID biofiltration portion of
the drainage facility. This portion of the basins is comprised of 12 inches of surface storage, an 18-inch
layer of amended soil (a highly sandy, organic rich composite with an infiltration capacity of at least 5
inches/hr) and a 12-inch layer of gravel for additional detention and to accommodate the French drain
system. These systems will treat storm water and convey flows to a small diameter lower outlet orifice.
Once flows have been routed by the outlet structures, flows will then discharge independently from
each basin to the receiving POC discharge location .
The biofiltration basins were modeled using the biofiltration LID module within SWMM. The
biofiltration module can model the underground gravel storage layer, underdrain with an orifice plate,
amended soil layer, and a surface storage pond up to the elevation of the invert of the lowest surface
discharge opening in the basins' riser structure. Ponding above the invert of the lowest surface
discharge opening in the riser structures is modeled as a detention basin: elevation vs area and
elevation vs discharge tables are needed by SWMM for Modified Puls routing purposes .
It should be noted that detailed outlet structure location and elevations will be shown on the
construction plans based on the recommendations of this study .

FLOW DURATION CURVE COMPARISON
The Flow Duration Curve {FDC) for the site was compared at the POC by exporting the hourly runoff time
series results from SWMM to a spreadsheet. The Qi and 010 were determined with a partial duration
statistical analysis of the runoff time series in an Excel spreadsheet using the Cunnane plotting position
method (which is the preferred plotting methodology in the HMP Permit). As the SWMM Model
includes a statistical analysis based on the Weibull Plotting Position Method, the Weibull Method was
also used within the spreadsheet to ensure that the results were similar to those obtained by the
SWMM Model.
For this project, the low threshold for the range of analysis is 10% of Qi. The range between 10% of Qi
and 010 was divided into 100 equal time intervals; the number of hours that each flow rate was
exceeded was counted from the hourly series. Additionally, the intermediate peaks with a return period
"i" were obtained (Cl; with i=3 to 9). For the purpose of the plot, the values were presented as
percentage of time exceeded for each flow rate. FDC comparison at the POC is illustrated in Figures la
and lb in both normal and logarithmic scale. Attachment 5 provides a detailed drainage exhibit for the
pre-and post-developed condition.
As can be seen in Figures la and lb, the FDC for the proposed condition with the HMP IMP is within
110% of the curve for the existing condition in both peak flows and durations for the POC. The
additional runoff volume generated from developing the site will be released to the existing point of
compliance at a flow rate below the 10% Qi lower threshold for the POC. Additionally, the project will
also not increase peak flow rates between the Qi and the 010, as shown in the graphic and also in the
peak flow tables in Attachment 1.
SUMMARY
This study has demonstrated that the proposed HMP I MPs provided for the Afton Way site are sufficient
to meet the current HMP criteria if the cross-sectional areas and volumes recommended within this
technical memorandum, and the respective low flow orifice, slots and outlet structure are incorporated
as specified within the proposed project site .
KEY ASSUMPTIONS
1. Soils Type B/C and Type Dare representative of the existing condition site .

FLOW DURATION CURVE ANALYSIS
1) Flow duration curve shall not exceed the existing conditions by more than 10%, neither in
peak flow nor duration.
The figures on the following pages illustrate that the flow duration curve in post-development
conditions, after the proposed IMPs, is below the existing flow duration curve. The flow
duration curve table following the curves shows that if the interval 0.10Q2 -Q10 is divided in
100 sub-intervals, then a) the post development divided by pre-development durations are
never larger than 110% (the permit allows up to 110%); and b) there are no more than 10
intervals in the range 101%-110% which would imply an excess over 10% of the length of the
curve (the permit allows less than 10% of excesses measured as 101-110%) .
Consequently, the design passes the hydromodification test.
It is important to note that the flow duration curve can be expressed in the "x" axis as
percentage of time, hours per year, total number of hours, or any other similar time variable. As
those variables only differ by a multiplying constant, their plot in logarithmic scale is going to
look exactly the same, and compliance can be observed regardless of the variable selected.
However, in order to satisfy the City of Carlsbad HMP example, % of time exceeded is the
variable of choice in the flow duration curve. The selection of a logarithmic scale in lieu of the
normal scale is preferred, as differences between the pre-development and post-development
curves can be seen more clearly in the entire range of analysis. Both graphics are presented just
to prove the difference.
In terms of the "y" axis, the peak flow value is the variable of choice. As an additional analysis
performed by TRWE, not only the range of analysis is clearly depicted (10% of Oi to Q10) but
also all intermediate flows are shown (Oi, Cl], Q.i, Us, OG, Q7, Os and Qg) in order to demonstrate
compliance at any range Ox -Ox+1• It must be pointed out that one of the limitations of both the
SWMM and SOHM models is that the intermediate analysis is not performed (to obtain Qi from
i = 2 to 10). TRWE performed the analysis using the Cunnane Plotting position Method (the
preferred method in the HMP permit) from the "n" largest independent peak flows obtained
from the continuous time series.
The largest "n" peak flows are included in this attachment, as well as the values of Qi with a
return period "i", from i=2 to 10. The Cli values are also added into the flow-duration plot .

ATTACHMENT 3
List of the "n" Largest Peaks: Pre & Post-Developed Conditions
Basic Probabilistic Equation:
R = 1/P R: Return period {years).
P: Probability of a flow to be equaled or exceeded any given year {dimensionless) .
Cunnane Equation:
p = i-0.4
n+0.2
Weibull Equation:
i P=-n+1
i: Position of the peak whose probability is desired {sorted from large to small)
n: number of years analyzed.
Explanation of Variables for the Tables in this Attachment
Peak: Refers to the peak flow at the date given, taken from the continuous simulation hourly
results of then year analyzed.
Position: If all peaks are sorted from large to small, the position of the peak in a sorting analysis
is included under the variable position.
Date: Date of the occurrence of the peak at the outlet from the continuous simulation
Note: all peaks are not annual maxima; instead they are defined as event maxima, with a threshold to
separate peaks of at least 12 hours. In other words, any peak P in a time series is defined as a value
where dP/dt = 0, and the peak is the largest value in 25 hours {12 hours before the hour of occurrence
and 12 hours after the occurrence, so it is in essence a daily peak) .

AREA VS ELEVATION
The area vs elevation curve in the SWMM model is calculated in Excel and imported into the
model. The summary of elevations has been provided on the following page .
The LID depth beneath the weir (w/ slots or orifices) is accounted for in the LID module as
illustrated in Attachment 7.
DISCHARGE VS ELEVATION
The orifices have been selected to maximize their size while still restricting flows to conform to
the required 10% of the Q2 event flow as mandated in the Final Hydromodification
Management Plan by Brown & Caldwell, dated March 2011. While TRWE acknowledges that
these orifices are small, to increase the size of these outlets would impact the basin's ability to
restrict flows beneath the HMP thresholds, thus preventing the IMP from conformance with
HMP requirements.
In order to reduce the risk of blockage of the orifices, regular maintenance of the riser and
orifices must be performed to ensure potential blockages are minimized. A detail of the orifice
and riser structure is provided in Attachment 5 of this memorandum .

DISCHARGE EQUATIONS
1) Weir:
Qw = Cw · L · H312 (1)
2) Slot:
As an orifice: Q5 = B5 • h5 ·cg· jzo (H -:s) (2.a)
As a weir: Q5 =Cw• B5 • H312 (2.b)
For H > hs slot works as weir until orifice equation provides a smaller discharge. The elevation such that
equation (2.a) = equation (2.b) is the elevation at which the behavior changes from weir to orifice.
3) Vertical Orifices
As an orifice: Q0 = 0.25 · n:D 2 • Cg • jzg ( H -~) (3.a)
As a weir: Critical depth and geometric family of circular sector must be solved to determined Q as a function of
H:
Q~ A~r -=-; B Tcr
Yer = ~ [1 -sin(O.S · «er)] (3.b.1, 3.b.2, 3.b.3, 3.b.4 and 3.b.5)
There is a value of H (approximately H = 110% D) from which orifices no longer work as weirs as critical depth is
not possible at the entrance of the orifice. This value of H is obtained equaling the discharge using critical
equations and equations (3.b) .
A mathematical model is prepared with the previous equations depending on the type of discharge.
The following are the variables used above:
Ow, Os, Oo = Discharge of weir, slot or orifice (ds)
Cw, Cg: Coefficients of discharge of weir (typically 3.1) and orifice (0.61 to 0.62)
L, B5, D, hs : Length of weir, width of slot, diameter of orifice and height of slot, respectively; (ft)
H: Level of water in the pond over the invert of slot, weir or orifice (ft)
Aw Tw Ye" ac,: Critical variables for circular sector: area (ft2), top width (ft), critical depth (ft), and angle to the center,
respectively .

ATTACHMENT 7
SWMM Screens and Explanation of Significant Variables
ATTACHMENT 7
EPA SWMM FIGURES AND EXPLANATIONS
Per the attached, the reader can see the screens associated with the EPA-SWMM Model in both
pre-development and post-development conditions. Each portion, i.e., sub-catchments,
outfalls, storage units, weir as a discharge, and outfalls (point of compliance), are also shown.
Variables for modeling are associated with typical recommended values by the EPA-SWMM
model and typical values found in technical literature (such as Maidment's Handbook of
Hydrology). Recommended values for the SWMM model have been attained from the interim
Orange County criteria established for their SWMM calibration. Currently, no recommended
values have been established by the San Diego County HMP Permit for the SWMM Model.
Soil characteristics of the existing soils were determined from the site specific Geotechnical
Analysis (See Attachment 8).
Some values incorporated within the SWMM model have been determined from the
professional experience of TRWE using conservative assumptions that have a tendency to
increase the size of the needed BMP and also generate a long-term runoff as a percentage of
rainfall similar to those measured in gage stations in Southern California by the USGS.

EXPLANATION OF SELECTED VARIABLES
Sub Catchment Areas:
Please refer to the attached diagrams that indicate the DMA and Biofiltration IMP {IMP) sub areas
modeled within the project site at both the pre and post developed conditions draining to the POC.
Parameters for the pre-and post-developed models include soil type B/C (an average of types B and C)
and type D as determined from the Geotechnical Analysis (see Attachment 8). Suction head,
conductivity and initial deficit corresponds to average values expected for these soils types, according to
sources consulted, professional experience, and approximate values obtained by the interim Orange
County modeling approach. For this particular project weighted values were used to model the site, as
about 60% of the soils are Type B/C and 40% are Type D. Table 1 below shows the breakdown of the Soil
types and Table 2 shows the weighted values that were used.

TRWE selected infiltration values, such that the percentage of total precipitation that becomes runoff is
realistic for the soil types and slightly smaller than measured values for Southern California watersheds.
Selection of a Kinematic Approach: As the continuous model is based on hourly rainfall, and the time of
concentration for the pre-development and post-development conditions is significantly smaller than 60
minutes, precise routing of the flows through the impervious surfaces, the underdrain pipe system, and
the discharge pipe was considered unnecessary. The truncation error of the precipitation into hourly
steps is much more significant than the precise routing in a system where the time of concentration is
much smaller than 1 hour.
Sub-catchment IMP:
The area of each of the bio-filtration must be equal to the area of the development tributary to the bio-
filtration facility (area that drains into the bio-filtration, equal external area plus bio-retention itself).
Five (5) decimal places were given regarding the areas of the bio-retention to insure that the area used
by the program for the LID subroutine corresponds exactly with this tributary.

LID Control Editor: Explanation of Significant Variables
Storage Depth:
The storage depth variable within the SWMM model is representative of the storage volume
provided beneath the engineered soil and mulch components of the biofiltration facilities.
In those cases where the surface storage has a variable area that is also different to the area of
the gravel and amended soil, the SWMM model needs to be calibrated as the LID module will
use the storage depth multiplied by the IMP area as the amount of volume stored at the
surface.
Let AiMP be the area of the IMP (area of amended soil and area of gravel). The proper value of
the storage depth So to be included in the LID module can be calculated by using geometric
properties of the surface volume. Let Ao be the surface area at the bottom of the surface pond,
and let Ai be the surface area at the elevation of the invert of the first row of orifices (or at the
invert of the riser if not surface orifices are included). Finally, let hi be the difference in
elevation between Ao and Ai. By volumetric definition:
(1)
Equation (1) allows the determination of So to be included as Storage Depth in the LID module.
Porosity: A porosity value of 0.4 has been selected for the model. The amended soil is to be
highly sandy in content in order to have a saturated hydraulic conductivity of approximately 5
in/hr.
TRWE considers such a value to be slightly high; however, in order to comply with the HMP
Permit, the value recommended by the Copermittees for the porosity of amended soil is 0.4,
per Appendix A of the Final Hydromodification Management Plan by Brown & Caldwell, dated
March 2011. Such porosity is equal to the porosity of the gravel per the same document.
Void Ratio: The ratio of the void volume divided by the soil volume is directly related to
porosity as n/(1-n). As the underdrain layer is composed of gravel, a porosity value of 0.4 has
been selected (also per Appendix A of the Final HMP document), which results in a void ratio of
0.4/(1-0.4) = 0.67 for the gravel detention layer.
Conductivity: Due to the natural soil and geotechnical conditions existing on site, infiltration is
not considered a viable addition to the LID design.
Clogging factor: A clogging factor was not used (O indicates that there is not clogging assumed
within the model). The reason for this is related to the fairness of a comparison with the SOHM
model and the HMP sizing tables: a clogging factor was not considered, and instead, a
conservative value of infiltration was recommended.
Drain (Flow) coefficient: The flow coefficient in the SWMM Model is the coefficient needed to
transform the orifice equation into a general power law equation of the form:
(1)
where q is the peak flow in in/hr, n is the exponent (typically 0.5 for orifice equation), Ho is the
elevation of the centroid of the orifice in inches (assumed equal to the invert of the orifice for
small orifices and in our design equal to 0) and H is the depth of the water in inches.
The general orifice equation can be expressed as:
Q _ rr D2 z (H-Hv) -c -g -4 g 144 12 (2)
where Q is the peak flow in cfs, D is the diameter in inches, Cg is the typical discharge coefficient
for orifices (0.61-0.63 for thin walls and around 0. 75-0.8 for thick walls), g is the acceleration of
gravity in ft/s2, and Hand Ho are defined above and are also used in inches in Equation (2).

We recommend that all individuals utilizing this report read the preceding information
sheet prepared by ASFE (the Association of Engineering Firms Practicing in the
Geosciences) and the Limitations, Section 7.0, located at the end of this report .
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the site
located at 2200 Afton Way in the City of Carlsbad, California (Figure 1 ). The
intent of this report is to provide specific geotechnical conclusions and
recommendations for the currently proposed project.
1.2 Site Location and Description
The subject property encompasses approximately 3.92 acres of essentially
undeveloped land located at 2200 Afton Way in Carlsbad, California (see Site
Location Map, Figure 1 ). The site is bordered by Carlsbad Village Drive to the
north, and existing residential developments to the east, south, and west.
Topographically, the property consists of gently sloping hillside terrain with
elevations ranging from a high of approximately 280 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL)
near the southwestern property line to a low of approximately 205 feet (MSL) at the
property's northeastern corner. Currently, the property is occupied by one
residential structure with two sheds. An existing crib wall, approximately 26 foot
high and 300 feet long, is located along the north of the boundary of the site and
appears to have been constructed during the alignment of Carlsbad Village Drive.
It should be noted that the existing cribwall may be impacted by the proposed
improvements and require remedial grading activities. Site drainage is presently
accomplished through a generally southeasterly trending ravine and ultimately
through controlled drainage facilities along Carlsbad Village Drive. Vegetation
consists of native grasses and eucalyptus trees over the majority of the site.

1.3 Proposed Development
Based on our review of the provided preliminary grading plan by BHA, Inc. {BHA,
Inc., 2014), the property will be developed with nine, one-or two-story single-family
homes, with associated infrastructure and underground utility improvements. We
further understand that the residential structures would utilize conventional
continuous footings with slab-on-grade and/or post-tension systems. Building
loads are assumed to be typical for these types of relatively light structures .
Currently, no structural plans for the proposed buildings are available .
Typical cut and fill grading techniques would be required to bring the site to design
elevations. Based on our review, cut and fill slopes are proposed at inclinations of
2:1 {horizontal:vertical [H:V]), or flatter, with maximum planned slope heights of
about 10 and 23 feet, respectively. Cuts and fills are currently proposed up to
about 13 and 12 feet in thickness, respectively, (excluding remedial grading
removals). Sewage disposal is understood to be accommodated by tying into the
regional municipal system .

2.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Site Investigation
Our exploration consisted of the excavation, logging, and sampling three large
diameter borings (LD-1 through LD-3) and 6 test pit excavations (TP-1 through
TP-6). Excavation depths ranging from of approximately 9 feet to 51 feet below
the existing ground surface (bgs). The approximate locations of the explorations
are shown on the Geotechnical Map (Plate 1 ). Subsequent to the subsurface
investigation, the test pits were backfilled with tamped soils and the large
diameter boring excavations were backfilled with spoils and layers of bentonite in
accordance with the San Diego County DEH Boring Permit Wavier. During the
exploration operations, a geologist from our firm prepared geologic logs and
collected bulk and undisturbed samples for laboratory testing and evaluation.
Logs of the explorations are presented in Appendix B .
2.2 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing performed on soil samples representative of on-site soils
obtained during the recent subsurface exploration included, expansion potential,
grain size analysis, corrosion test, direct shear tests on drive samples, moisture
test, and atterberg limits. A discussion of the laboratory tests performed and a
summary of the laboratory test results are presented in Appendix C .

3.1
3.0 SUMMARY OF GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
Geologic Setting
The project area is situated in the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province. This
geomorphic province encompasses an area that extends approximately 900
miles from the Transverse Ranges and the Los Angeles Basin south to the
southern tip of Baja California, and varies in width from approximately 30 to 100
miles (Norris and Webb, 1990). The province is characterized by mountainous
terrain on the east composed mostly of Mesozoic igneous and metamorphic
rocks, and relatively low-lying coastal terraces to the west underlain by late
Cretaceous-age, Tertiary-age, and Quaternary-age sedimentary units. Most of
the coastal region of the County of San Diego, including the site, occur within this
coastal region and are underlain by sedimentary units. Specifically, the subject
site is located within the coastal plain section of the Peninsular Range Geomorphic
Province of California, which generally consists of subdued landforms underlain by
sedimentary bedrock.
3.2 Site-Specific Geology
Based on our subsurface exploration and review of pertinent geologic literature
and maps (Appendix A), the geologic units underlying the site consist of localized
undocumented artificial fill, colluvium, and slope wash deposits overlying terrace
deposits (Quaternary-aged Very Old Paralic Deposits) and Tertiary-age Santiago
Formation across the entire site area. A brief description of the geologic units
encountered on the site is presented below. The general distribution of earth
materials are shown on Plate 1.
3.2.1 Artificial Fill -Undocumented -(Afu)
During our subsurface exploration, an approximately 2-to 10-foot thick
layer of undocumented artificial fill soils was encountered at several of the
exploration locations. The fill was apparently placed during the site's initial
construction and isolated deeper fills may exist that were not observed
during our exploration. An as-graded report was not available for our
review, and it is assumed that no engineering observations of these
localized fill soils were provided at the time of grading. These fill soils

generally consisted of a mixture of silty sand and sandy clay, are dry,
loose and may settle appreciably under additional fill or foundation and
improvement loading. Therefore, all undocumented fills (soil} should be
removed and recompacted. These materials may be reused provided they
are cleared of trash and debris. All trash and debris should be removed,
and properly disposed offsite, prior to fill placement and/or remedial
grading .
3.2.2 Colluvium (Qc)
In general, the southern portion of the site is mantled by a relatively thin
layer of colluvium. The colluvium was generally observed to be reddish
brown to brown, dry, porous, loose, silty sand. Locally roots and rootlets
were noted within these surficial soils. The colluvium was generally
encountered ranging from approximately 2 to 4 feet in thickness. Due to
the potentially compressible nature of these surficial soils, they are
considered unsuitable for the support of structures and/or improvements in
their existing state. Therefore, these soils will need to be removed and
recompacted, if not removed during planned excavation, should
settlement sensitive improvements be proposed within their influence.
3.2.3 Slope Wash Deposits (Qsw)
The northern portion of the site is mantled by a layer of slope wash. The
slope wash was generally observed to be orange brown to grayish brown,
dry to moist, porous, loose, silty sand to clayey sand. The slope wash was
generally encountered ranging from 9 to 10 feet in thickness. Due to the
potentially compressible nature of these surficial soils, they are considered
unsuitable for the support of structures and/or improvements in their
existing state. Therefore, these soils will need to be removed and
recompacted, if not removed during planned excavation, should
settlement sensitive improvements be proposed within their influence.
3.2.4 Very Old Paralic Deposits (Qvop)
Quaternary-aged Very Old Paralic Deposits (previously referred to as
terrace deposits} underlie the colluvium soils at southern portion site. This
unit primarily consists of massively bedded, reddish-to orange brown,

oxidized, weakly to moderately cemented, dense to very dense, silty
sandstone and clayey sandstone, and are locally weathered near the
surface. The weathered near surface Very Old Paralic Deposits (upper 1
to 2 feet), where encountered, should be removed and recompacted, if not
removed during planned excavation, should settlement sensitive
improvements be proposed within their influence .
3.2.5 Santiago Formation {Tsa)
Sandstone, clayey siltstone, and claystone sedimentary bedrock
belonging to Eocene-age Santiago Formation, was encountered onsite.
These deposits occur at depth within the property. Where unweathered,
these rocks are considered suitable for structural support. Bedding
structures observed in our large diameter explorations indicate a
northwesterly trend with a southeasterly dip on the order of 10 degrees.
3.3 Surface and Ground Water
The regional groundwater table was not encountered in the explorations, to a
depth of 51 feet deep. Based on our review of the topographic quadrangle map
(USGS, 1967), groundwater level are anticipated at least 200 feet below the site
surface, which corresponds with Buena Vista Lagoon, north of the subject site.
Therefore, we anticipate the lowest site foundations will be well above the
existing static ground water table at the site.
Seeps, springs, or other indications of a high groundwater level were not noted
on the subject property during the time of our field study. However, seepage may
occur locally (due to heavy precipitation or irrigation) in areas where fill soils
overlie silty or clayey soils. Such soils may be encountered at the site. Mitigation
of seepage may be necessary during site grading.
3.4 Engineering Characteristics of On-site Soils
Based on the results of our laboratory testing of representative on-site soils, and
our professional experience on similar sites with similar soils conditions, the
engineering characteristics of the on-site soils are discussed below .

3.4.1 Expansion Potential
Laboratory testing was performed to evaluate the expansion index of
materials characteristic of the site. The sample tested had an expansion
index of 53. Based on our field observations, subsurface investigation, and
laboratory testing, low to medium expansive soils are anticipated for this
site. High expansive soils may be encountered during site grading in
isolated layers.
3.4.2 Compressible Soils
Based on our experience on similar projects in the Carlsbad and our site
specific exploration, we expect that the upper 2 to 10 feet of the site is
underlain by undocumented fill, colluvium, or slope wash deposits which
are considered compressible. Recommendations for remedial grading of
these soils are provided in the following sections of this report .
3.4.3 Soil Corrosivity
A preliminary corrosive soil screening for the on-site materials was
completed to evaluate their potential effect on concrete and ferrous
metals. The corrosion potential was evaluated using the results of
laboratory testing on one representative soil sample obtained during our
subsurface evaluation.
Laboratory testing was performed to evaluate pH, minimum electrical
resistivity, and chloride and soluble sulfate content. The samples tested had
a measured pH of 7.19, and a measured minimum electrical resistivity of
8,240 ohm-cm. Test results also indicated that the samples had a chloride
content of 62.3 ppm, and a soluble sulfate content of less than 0.015
percent.
3.4.4 Infiltration
We performed percolation testing in Percolation Holes P-1 and P-2 to
evaluate suitability of the site for infiltration of storm water. The results of
the percolation test indicated that the site soils had a percolation rate of
greater than 125 minutes per inch (mpi). Generally, a percolation rate less

than 120 mpi is considered necessary to consider a site suitable for onsite
infiltration of storm water. Additionally, the presence of shallow clayey
sand and clay materials present in much of the site would be expected to
impede infiltration and a 30-mil HOPE should be considered to line any
proposed infiltration basins. Further evaluation of proposed LIDs is
needed to determine potential down gradient impacts.
3.4.5 Excavation Characteristics
The site is underlain by undocumented fill, colluvium, slope wash deposits,
Very Old Paralic Deposits, and Santiago Formation generally consisting of
silty to clayey sands and sandy claystone to clayey sandstone. With
regards to the proposed project, it is anticipated these on-site soils can be
excavated with conventional heavy-duty construction equipment. Oversize
cobble material (typically over 6 inches in maximum dimension) is present
locally in the Paralic Deposits. Oversize cobble material should be placed
in non-structural areas or hauled off-site .
3.5 Slope Stability
Based on the available data, it is anticipated that proposed fill slopes will be
generally stable assuming proper construction and maintenance. Cut slopes, up to
proposed heights of 10 feet, that are constructed in Very Old Paralic Deposits and
earth materials belonging to Santiago Formation, are also anticipated to be
generally stable assuming proper construction and maintenance. However,
southeast-facing cut slopes constructed in the Santiago Formation may exhibit
adverse (out of slope) bedding orientations and may require stabilization and
buttressing. Cut slopes constructed to the anticipated heights in competent
bedrock should perform adequately at gradients of 2: 1 (H:V), or flatter, and are
considered to be generally stable assuming proper construction and maintenance.
Additional site specific analysis may be warranted once final 40-scale grading
plans have been developed. All cut slopes constructed will require observation
during grading in order to verify the findings and conclusions presented herein .
The cut slope in the northwestern portion of the site adjacent to Lot 4 will likely
expose slope wash material which will require removal and construction of a
buttress replacement fill with a key way at the toe of slope. Recommendations for
the buttress/replacement fill is presented on the Geotechnical Map (Plate 1 ) .

Geotechnical Investigation, 2200 Afton Way. Carlsbad, California 10690.002
All slopes may be susceptible to surficial slope instability and erosion given
substantial wetting of the slope face. Surficial slope stability may be enhanced by
providing proper site drainage. The site should be graded so that water from the
surrounding areas is not able to flow over the top of slopes. Diversion structures
should be provided where necessary. Surface runoff should be confined to gunite-
lined swales or other appropriate devices to reduce the potential of erosion. Slopes
should be planted with vegetation that will increase the surficial stability .
3.6 Earthwork Shrinkage and Bulking
The volume change of excavated on-site materials upon recompaction as fill is
expected to vary with materials and location. Typically, the surficial soils and
bedrock materials vary significantly in natural and compacted density, and
therefore, accurate earthwork shrinkage/bulking estimate cannot be determined.
We do not anticipate significant grading at the site where bulking and shrinkage
estimates are necessary. However, if needed, the following factors (based on
evaluation of our subsurface investigation, laboratory testing, geotechnical
analysis and professional experience on similar sites) are provided on Table 1 as
guideline estimates. If possible, we suggest an area where site grades can be
adjusted be provided as a balance area.
Table 1
Earthwork Shrinkage and Bulking Estimates
Geologic Unit Estimated Shrinkage/bulking
Colluvium/Undocumented fill 5 to 15 percent shrinkage
Slope Wash Deposits 4 to 8 percent shrinkage

4.1
4.0 SEISMIC AND GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Regional Tectonic Setting
During the late Pliocene, several new faults developed in Southern California,
creating a new tectonic regime superposed on the flat-lying section of Tertiary
and late Cretaceous rocks in the San Diego region. One of these fault systems is
the Rose Canyon Fault Zone.
The principal known onshore faults in southernmost California are the San
Andreas, San Jacinto, Elsinore, Imperial and Rose Canyon faults, which
collectively transfer the majority of this deformation. The balance of the plate
margin slip, is taken by the offshore zone of faults which include the Coronado
Bank, Descanso, San Diego Trough, and San Clemente faults off of the San
Diego and northern Baja California coastline. Most of the offshore faults coalesce
south of the international border, where they come onshore as the Agua Blanca
fault which transects the Baja California peninsula (Jennings, 2010).
4.2 Local Faulting
Our review of available geologic literature (Appendix A) indicates that there are
no known significant or active or potentially active faults transecting, or projecting
toward the site. The nearest active fault is the Rose Canyon / Newport -
Inglewood (offshore) fault zone located approximately 6.9 miles west of the site
within the Pacific Ocean (Treiman, 1993).
4.3 Seismicity
The site can be considered to lie within a seismically active region, as can all of
Southern California. As previously mentioned above, the Rose Canyon fault zone
located approximately 6.9 miles west of the site, is the 'active' fault considered
having the most significant effect at the site from a design standpoint.
4.4 Seismic Hazards
Severe ground shaking is most likely to occur during an earthquake on one of the
regional active faults in Southern California. The effect of seismic shaking may

be mitigated by adhering to the California Building Code or state-of-the-art
seismic design parameters of the Structural Engineers Association of California .
4.4.1 Shallow Ground Rupture
As previously discussed, no faults are mapped transecting or projecting
toward the site. Therefore, surface rupture hazard due to faulting is
considered very low. Ground cracking due to shaking from a seismic event
is not considered a significant hazard either, since the site is not located
near slopes .
4.4.2 Mapped Fault Zones
The site is not located within a State mapped Earthquake Fault Zone
(EFZ). As previously discussed, the subject site is not underlain by known
active or potentially active faults .
4.4.3 Site Class
Utilizing 2013 California Building Code (CBC) procedures, we have
characterized the site soil profile to be Site Class D based on our
experience with similar sites in the project area and the results of our
subsurface evaluation.
4.4.4 Building Code Mapped Spectral Acceleration Parameters
The effect of seismic shaking may be mitigated by adhering to the
California Building Code and state-of-the-art seismic design practices of
the Structural Engineers Association of California. Provided below in
Table 2 are the risk-targeted spectral acceleration parameters for the
project determined in accordance with the 2013 California Building Code
(CBSC, 2013a) and the USGS Worldwide Seismic Design Values tool
(Version 3.1.0).

Accelerations SM1 = 0.672
Sos = 0.781 Design Spectral Accelerations So1 = 0.448
Utilizing ASCE Standard 7-10, in accordance with Section 11.8.3, the
following additional parameters for the peak horizontal ground
acceleration are associated with the Geometric Mean Maximum
Considered Earthquake (MCEG). The mapped MCEG peak ground
acceleration (PGA) is 0.432g for the site. For a Site Class D, the FPGA is
1.068 and the mapped peak ground acceleration adjusted for Site Class
effects (PGAM) is 0.461 g for the site.
4.5 Secondary Seismic Hazards
In general, secondary seismic hazards can include soil liquefaction, seismically-
induced settlement, lateral displacement, surface manifestations of liquefaction,
landsliding, seiches, and tsunamis. The potential for secondary seismic hazards
at the subject site is discussed below.
4.5.1 Liquefaction and Dynamic Settlement
Liquefaction and dynamic settlement of soils can be caused by strong
vibratory motion due to earthquakes. Granular soils tend to density when
subjected to shear strains induced by ground shaking during earthquakes.
Research and historical data indicate that loose granular soils underlain by
a near surface ground water table are most susceptible to liquefaction,
while the most clayey materials are not susceptible to liquefaction .
Liquefaction is characterized by a loss of shear strength in the affected
soil layer, thereby causing the soil to behave as a viscous liquid. This
effect may be manifested at the ground surface by settlement and,

possibly, sand boils where insufficient confining overburden is present
over liquefied layers. Where sloping ground conditions are present,
liquefaction-induced instability can result.
The site is underlain at depth by moderately cemented sandstones and
moderately well indurated siltstone and claystone. Since loose surficial fill
and weathered Very Old Paralic Deposits are recommended for removal,
the underlying dense character of the on-site formational deposits, and the
lack of a shallow ground water table, it is our opinion that the potential for
liquefaction and seismic related settlement across the site is nil.
4.5.2 Lateral Spread
Empirical relationships have been derived (Youd et al., 1999) to estimate
the magnitude of lateral spread due to liquefaction. These relationships
include parameters such as earthquake magnitude, distance of the
earthquake from the site, slope height and angle, the thickness of
liquefiable soil, and gradation characteristics of the soil.
The susceptibility to earthquake-induced lateral spread is considered to be
low for the site because of the low susceptibility to liquefaction and
relatively level ground surface in the site vicinity.
4.5.3 Tsunamis and Seiches
Based on a site elevation of approximately 200 feet msl, and the distance
the site is located from the Pacific coastline, there is no potential for flood
damage to occur at the site from a tsunami or seiche.
4.6 Landslides
Several formations within the San Diego region are particularly prone to
landsliding. These formations generally have high clay content and mobilize
when they become saturated with water. Other factors, such as steeply dipping
bedding that project out of the face of the slope and/or the presence of fracture
planes, will also increase the potential for landsliding.

No landslides or indications of deep-seated landsliding were indicated at the site
during our field exploration or our review of available geologic literature,
topographic maps, and stereoscopic aerial photographs. Furthermore, our field
explorations indicate the site is generally underlain by favorable oriented geologic
structure, consisting of sandstone, claystone, and siltstone. Therefore, the
potential for significant landslides or large-scale slope instability at the site is
considered low.
4. 7 Flood Hazard
According to a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance
rate map (FEMA, 2012); the site is not located within a floodplain. Based on our
review of topographic maps, the site is not located downstream of a dam or
within a dam inundation area. Based on this review and our site reconnaissance,
the potential for flooding of the site is considered very low.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of our geotechnical investigation of the site, it is our opinion that
the proposed residential development is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint,
provided the following conclusions and recommendations are incorporated into the
project plans and specifications .
• Generally, loose soils having depths of up to approximately 1 to 10 feet locally
underlie the site and are considered compressible. Therefore, these soils are not
considered suitable for the support of structural loads or the support of engineered
fill soils and site improvements in their present condition. Section 6.1.2 of this report
provides specific recommendations regarding mitigation of these soil materials .
• The mapped MCEG peak ground acceleration (PGA) is 0.432g for the site, and for
site Class D, the mapped peak ground acceleration, adjusted for Site Class effects
(PGAM) is 0.461g .
• Based on the results of our subsurface explorations and our experience with similar
projects in the site area, we anticipate regional ground water to be at a depth of 200
feet or more. Therefore, ground water is not anticipated to be a constraint during site
construction, and we do not anticipate that temporary dewatering will be necessary.
• The underlying Very Old Paralic Deposits and Santiago Formation are not subject to
liquefaction based on their age, generally dense character, and the lack of a shallow
ground water table .
• The cut slope adjacent to Lot 4 will likely require a buttress/replacement fill to
stabilize slope wash material.
• Due to the lack of adverse geologic conditions, landsliding and mass movement is
considered to be unlikely. However, cut slopes should be evaluated during site
grading to verify slope bedding is as anticipated.
• Based on the results of our subsurface exploration, we anticipate that the onsite
materials should be generally rippable with conventional heavy-duty earthwork
equipment. The existing onsite soils are suitable for reuse as engineered fill provided
they are relatively free of organic material, debris, and rock fragments larger than 6
inches in maximum dimension. In addition, unknown items such as buried concrete
footings left from previous site development should be anticipated .

• Based on laboratory testing and visual classification, materials derived from the on-
site soil materials possess a low to medium expansion potential.
• Although Leighton does not practice corrosion engineering, laboratory test results
indicate the soils present on the site have a negligible potential for sulfate attack on
normal concrete. However, the onsite soils are considered to be moderately
corrosive to buried uncoated ferrous metals .
• It should be noted that the existing cribwall at the north east property line may be
impacted by the proposed improvements and require remedial grading activities.
• The existing onsite soils were found to have a very low permeability and are not
considered suitable for storm water management strategies that utilize infiltration .
Additional investigation regarding the infiltration characteristics of the site soils will
be required before recommendations for the use of infiltration type LID devices can
be provided. The proposed infiltration basins should be lined with a 30-mil HDPE
liner to prevent lateral migration of storm water. In addition, subsurface
improvements down gradient could be affected by some proposed LID measures
and should therefore be fully evaluated before being considered .

6.1
6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Earthwork
We anticipate that earthwork at the site will consist of site preparation, shallow
excavation and fill operations. We recommend that earthwork on the site be
performed in accordance with the following recommendations and the General
Earthwork and Grading Specifications for Rough Grading included in Appendix
D. In case of conflict, the following recommendations supersede those in
Appendix D .
6.1.1 Site Preparation
Prior to grading, all areas to receive structural fill, engineered structures,
or hardscape should be cleared of surface and subsurface obstructions,
including any existing debris and undocumented, loose, compressible, or
unsuitable soils, and stripped of vegetation. Removed vegetation and
debris should be properly disposed off site. All areas to receive fill and/or
other surface improvements should be scarified to a minimum depth of 8
inches, brought to optimum or above-optimum moisture conditions, and
recompacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction based on ASTM
Test Method D1557.
6.1.2 Removal of Compressible Soils
Potentially compressible undocumented fill soils, colluvium, slope wash
deposits, and weathered Paralic Deposits at the site may settle as a result
of wetting or settle under the surcharge of engineered fill and/or structural
loads supported on shallow foundations. Therefore, remedial grading is
recommended across the entire site to remove undocumented fill,
colluvium, slope wash deposits, and weathered Paralic Deposits. These
soils should be removed to undisturbed Paralic Deposits ("Formation")
and/or Santiago Formation and replaced as moisture conditioned
engineered fill. In general, removal depths will range from 2 to 10 feet
below the existing ground surface across the site. The removal depths
should extend to a depth of at least 4 feet below finished building pad
grade. The lateral limits of the removal bottom should extend at least 5

feet beyond the foundation limits. The bottom of all removals should be
evaluated by a Certified Engineering Geologist to confirm conditions are
as anticipated.
In general, the soil that is removed may be reused and placed as
engineered fill provided the material is moisture conditioned to at least 2
percent above optimum moisture content, and then recompacted prior to
additional fill placement or construction. Soil with an expansion index
greater than 70 should not be used within 5 feet of finish grade in the
building pad. The actual depth and extent of the required removals should
be confirmed during grading operations by the geotechnical consultant.
6.1.3 Cut/Fill Transition Mitigation
Our review of the preliminary grading plans indicates that several lots may
result in the creation of cut/fill transitions. The introduction of materials (fill
compared to native sandstone) having differing permeability and density
into the site may create a condition where surface infiltration of water may
accumulate below grade. As such, overexcavation of the Paralic Deposits
should be sloped at 1 percent toward the streets or deeper fills. To mitigate
the impact of the underlying cut/fill transition condition beneath possible
structures that are planned across existing or future cut/fill transitions, the
cut portion should be over-excavated to at least 3 feet below the bottoms of
proposed foundations. The overexcavation should laterally extend at least 5
feet beyond the building pad area and all associated settlement-sensitive
structures. The over-excavated material should be replaced with properly
compacted fill. Maximum to minimum fill thickness within a given lot should
not exceed ratio of 3:1. As such, deeper over excavation will be necessary
for fill lots with maximum fills in excess of approximately 9 feet. Final
overexcavation depths should be determined and documented in the field
based on site conditions.
6.1.4 Excavations and Oversize Material
Excavations of the onsite materials may generally be accomplished with
conventional heavy-duty earthwork equipment. Due to the generally friable
nature of the fill and Paralic Deposits, temporary excavations, such as
utility trenches with vertical sides, may slough over time .

In accordance with OSHA requirements, excavations deeper than 5 feet
should be shored or be laid back if workers are to enter such excavations .
Temporary sloping gradients should be determined in the field by a
"competent person" as defined by OSHA. For preliminary planning,
sloping of fill soils at 1 :1 (horizontal to vertical) may be assumed .
Excavations supporting structures or greater than 20 feet in height will
require an alternative sloping plan or shoring plan prepared by a California
registered civil engineer .
6.1.5 Engineered Fill
In areas proposed to receive engineered fill, the existing upper 8 inches of
subgrade soils should be scarified then moisture conditioned to moisture
content at or above the optimum content and compacted to 90 percent or
more of the maximum laboratory dry density, as evaluated by ASTM D
1557. Soil materials utilized as fill should be free of oversized rock,
organic materials, and deleterious debris. Rocks greater than 6 inches in
diameter should not be placed within 2 feet of finished grade. Fill should
be moisture conditioned to at least 2 percent above the optimum moisture
content and compacted to 90 percent or more relative compaction, in
accordance with ASTM D 1557. Although the optimum lift thickness for fill
soils will be dependent on the type of compaction equipment utilized, fill
should generally be placed in uniform lifts not exceeding approximately 8
inches in loose thickness .
In vehicle pavement areas, the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils should
be scarified then moisture conditioned to a moisture content above
optimum content and compacted to 95 percent or more of the maximum
laboratory dry density, as evaluated by ASTM D 1557.
Placement and compaction of fill should be performed in general
accordance with current City of Carlsbad grading ordinances, California
Building Code, sound construction practice, these recommendations and
the General Earthwork and Grading Specifications for Rough Grading
presented in Appendix D .

6.1.6 Import Soils
If import soils are necessary to bring the site up to the proposed grades,
these soils should be granular in nature, environmentally clean, have an
expansion index less than 50 (per ASTM Test Method D4829) and have a
low corrosion impact to the proposed improvements. Import soils and/or
the borrow site location should be evaluated by the geotechnical
consultant prior to import. The contractor should provide evidence that all
import materials comply with DTSC requirements for import materials.
6.1. 7 Expansive Soils and Selective Grading
Based on our laboratory testing and observations, we anticipate the onsite
soil materials possess a low to medium expansion potential (Appendix C).
Should an abundance of medium to highly expansive materials be
encountered, selective grading may need to be performed, such as
placing these materials in the deeper portions of the planned fill areas. In
addition, to accommodate conventional foundation design, the upper 5
feet of materials within the building pad and 5 feet outside the limits of the
building foundation should have a very low to low expansion potential
(El<70) .
6.1.8 Buttress/Replacement Fill
Based on our subsurface exploration (Appendix B), we anticipate the cut
slope in the north western portion of the site adjacent to Lot 4 may be
surficially unstable and may require the construction of buttress or
replacement fill. The replacement fill key should be constructed a
minimum of 15 feet wide, at least 2 feet below the toe-of-slope grade, and
have a minimum 2 percent into-the-slope inclination. The approximate
location of the replacement fill key is presented on the Geotechnical Map
(Plate 1.) A typical detail for stability fill construction is provided in the
attached General Earthwork and Grading Specifications (Appendix D).

6.2 Foundation and Slab Considerations
At the time of drafting this report, building loads were not known. However, based
on our understanding of the project, the proposed residential buildings may be
constructed with conventional foundations or post-tensioned foundations. In
general foundations and slabs should be designed in accordance with structural
considerations and the following recommendations. The foundation
recommendations below assume that the all building foundations will be
underlain by properly compacted fill.
6.2.1 Conventional Foundations
Conventionally reinforced foundations should be designed and constructed
in accordance with the recommendations contained in Table 3 based on a
very low to low expansion potential. Residential structures placed on deep fill
areas (considered to be greater than 40 feet in depth), underlain by
differential fill thicknesses of 20 or more feet, and/or having moderate to
highly expansive soils (an expansive potential greater than 51) at finish
grade should be constructed with a post-tension foundation (as indicated in
Section 6.2.5) instead of a conventional reinforced foundation.

Depth of interior or exterior footing to be measured from lowest adjacent finish grade or drainage
swale flowtine elevation.
The base of the grade beam should be at the same elevation as that of the adjoining footings.
Living area slabs should be tied to the footings as directed by the structural engineer.
10-mil non-recycled plastic sheeting is acceptable. Equivalents are acceptable. All laps and
penetrations should be sealed.
Garage slabs should be isolated from stem wall footings with a minimum 3/8-inch expansion joint.
Sand base should have a Sand Equivalent of 30 or greater ( e.g. washed concrete sand).
Where the foundation is within 3 feet (horizontally) of adjacent drainage swales, the adjacent
footing should be embedded a minimum depth of 12 inches below the swale flow line.
The recommendations presented above assume that proper maintenance irrigation and drainage
are maintained around the structure .
The vapor barrier recommended in Table 2 should be sealed at all
penetrations and laps. Moisture vapor transmission may be additionally
reduced by use of concrete additives. Moisture barriers can retard but not
eliminate moisture vapor movement from the underlying soils up through the
slabs. We recommend that the floor covering installer test the moisture vapor

flux rate prior to attempting applications of the flooring. "Breathable" floor
coverings should be considered if the vapor flux rates are high. A slipsheet
or equivalent should be utilized above the concrete slab if crack-sensitive
floor coverings (such as ceramic tiles, etc.) are to be placed directly on the
concrete slab.
Our experience indicates that use of reinforcement in slabs and foundations
will generally reduce the potential for drying and shrinkage cracking.
However, some cracking should be expected as the concrete cures. Minor
cracking is considered normal; in addition, it is often aggravated by a high
water content, high concrete temperature at the time of placement, small
nominal aggregate size, and rapid moisture loss due to hot, dry and/or windy
weather conditions during placement and curing. Cracking due to
temperature and moisture fluctuations can also be expected. The use of low
water content concrete can reduce the potential for shrinkage cracking.
The slab subgrade soils underlying the conventional foundation systems
should be presoaked as indicated in Section 6.2.4 prior to placement of the
moisture barrier and slab concrete.
6.2.2 Foundation Setback
We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance from the face of
slopes for all structural foundations, footings, and other settlement-
sensitive structures as indicated on the Table 4 below. The minimum
recommended setback distance from the face of a retaining wall is equal to
the height of the retaining wall. The distance is measured from the outside
bottom edge of the footing, horizontally to the slope or retaining wall face,
and is based on the slope or wall height. However, the foundation setback
distance may be revised by the geotechnical consultant on a case-by-case
basis if the geotechnical conditions are different than anticipated .

Table 4
Minimum Foundation Setback from Slope Faces
Slope Height Setback
less than 5 feet 5 feet
5 to 15 feet 7 feet
Please note that the soils within the structural setback area possess poor
lateral stability, and improvements (such as retaining walls, sidewalks,
fences, pavements, etc.) constructed within this setback area may be
subject to lateral movement and/or differential settlement. Potential distress
to such improvements may be mitigated by providing a deepened footing or
a grade beam foundation system to support the improvement.
In addition, open or backfilled utility trenches that parallel or nearly parallel
structure footings should not encroach within an imaginary 1: 1 (horizontal
to vertical) downward sloping line starting 9 inches above the bottom edge
of the footing and should also not be located closer than 18 inches from the
face of the footing. Deepened footings should meet the setbacks as
described above. Also, over-excavation should be accomplished such that
deepening of footings to accomplish the setback will not introduce a cut/fill
transition bearing condition.
Where pipes cross under footings, the footings should be specially
designed. Pipe sleeves should be provided where pipes cross through
footings or footing walls and sleeve clearances should provide for possible
footing settlement, but not less than 1 inch around the pipe.
6.2.3 Settlement
Fill depths between 3 and 13 feet are anticipated beneath the proposed
building foundations following final grading. For conventional footings, the
recommended allowable-bearing capacity is based on a maximum total
and differential static settlement of 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch, respectively.
Since settlements are a function of footing size and contact bearing
pressures, some differential settlement can be expected where a large

differential loading condition exists. However for most cases, differential
settlements are considered unlikely to exceed 1/2 inch.
6.2.4 Moisture Conditioning
The slab subgrade soils underlying the foundation systems should be
presoaked in accordance with the recommendations presented in Table 5
prior to placement of the moisture barrier and slab concrete. The subgrade
soil moisture content should be checked by a representative of Leighton
prior to slab construction.
Presoaking or moisture conditioning may be achieved in a number of ways.
But based on our professional experience, we have found that minimizing
the moisture loss on pads that has been completed (by periodic wetting to
keep the upper portion of the pad from drying out) and/or berming the lot
and flooding for a short period of time (days to a few weeks) are some of
the more efficient ways to meet the presoaking recommendations. If
flooding is performed, a couple of days to let the upper portion of the pad
dry out and form a crust so equipment can be utilized should be
anticipated.

6.2.5 Post-Tension Foundation Recommendations
As an alternative to the conventional foundations for the buildings, post-
tensioned foundations may be used. We recommend that post-tensioned
foundations be designed using the geotechnical parameters presented in
table below and criteria of the 2013 California Building Code and the Third
Edition of Post-Tension Institute Manual. A post-tensioned foundation
system designed and constructed in accordance with these
recommendations is expected to be structurally adequate for the support of
the buildings planned at the site provided our recommendations for surface
drainage and landscaping are carried out and maintained through the
design life of the project. Based on an evaluation of the depths of fill
beneath the building pads, the attached Table 6 presents the
recommended post-tension foundation category for residential buildings for
this site.

Geotechnical Investigation, 2200 Afton Way, Carlsbad, California 10690.002
The post-tensioned (PT) foundation and slab should also be designed in
accordance with structural considerations. For a ribbed PT foundation, the
concrete slabs section should be at least 5 inches thick. Continuous
footings (ribs or thickened edges) with a minimum width of 12 inches and a
minimum depth of 12 inches below lowest adjacent soil grade may be
designed for a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per
square foot. For a uniform thickness "mat" PT foundation, the perimeter cut
off wall should be at least 8 inches below the lowest adjacent grade.
However, note that where a foundation footing or perimeter cut off wall is
within 3 feet (horizontally) of adjacent drainage swales, the adjacent footing
should be embedded a minimum depth of 12 inches below the swale flow
line. The allowable bearing capacity may be increased by one-third for
short-term loading. The slab subgrade soils should be presoaked in
accordance with the recommendation presented in Table 5 above prior to
placement of the moisture barrier.
The slab should be underlain by a moisture barrier as discussed in
Section 6.2.1 above. Note that moisture barriers can retard, but not
eliminate moisture vapor movement from the underlying soils up through
the slabs. We recommend that the floor covering installer test the moisture
vapor flux rate prior to attempting applications of the flooring. "Breathable"
floor coverings should be considered if the vapor flux rates are high. A slip-
sheet or equivalent should be utilized above the concrete slab if crack-
sensitive floor coverings (such as ceramic tiles, etc.) are to be placed
directly on the concrete slab. Additional guidance is provided in ACI
Publications 302.1 R-04 Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction
and 302.2R-06 Guide for Concrete Slabs that Receive Moisture-Sensitive
Floor Materials.
6.3 Lateral Earth Pressures and Retaining Wall Design
Table 7 presents the lateral earth pressure values for level or sloping backfill for
walls backfilled with and bearing against fully drained soils of very low to low
expansion potential (less than 50 per ASTM D4829) .

Static Equivalent Fluid Weight (pcf)
Conditions Level 2:1 Slope
Active 35 55
At-Rest 55 65
Passive 350 150
(Maximum of 3 ksf) (sloping down)
Walls up to 10 feet in height should be designed for the applicable pressure
values provided above. If conditions other than those covered herein are
anticipated, the equivalent fluid pressure values should be provided on an
individual case-by-case basis by the geotechnical engineer. A surcharge load for
a restrained or unrestrained wall resulting from automobile traffic may be
assumed to be equivalent to a uniform lateral pressure of 75 psf which is in
addition to the equivalent fluid pressure given above. For other uniform
surcharge loads, a uniform pressure equal to 0.35q should be applied to the wall.
The wall pressures assume walls are backfilled with free draining materials and
water is not allowed to accumulate behind walls. A typical drainage design is
contained in Appendix D. Wall backfill should be compacted by mechanical
methods to at least 90 percent relative compaction (based on ASTM D1557). If
foundations are planned over the backfill, the backfill should be compacted to 95
percent. Wall footings should be designed in accordance with the foundation
design recommendations and reinforced in accordance with structural
considerations. For all retaining walls, we recommend a minimum horizontal
distance from the outside base of the footing to daylight as outlined in
Section 6.2.2.
Lateral soil resistance developed against lateral structural movement can be
obtained from the passive pressure value provided above. Further, for sliding
resistance, the friction coefficient of 0.35 may be used at the concrete and soil
interface. These values may be increased by one-third when considering loads of
short duration including wind or seismic loads. The total resistance may be taken
as the sum of the frictional and passive resistance provided that the passive
portion does not exceed two-thirds of the total resistance .
To account for potential redistribution of forces during a seismic event, retaining
walls providing lateral support where exterior grades on opposites sides differ by
more than 6 feet fall under the requirements of 2013 CBC Section 1803.5.12

and/or ASCE 7-10 Section 15.6.1 and should also be analyzed for seismic
loading. For that analysis, an additional uniform lateral seismic force of 8H should
be considered for the design of the retaining walls with level backfill, where H is
the height of the wall. This value should be increased by 150% for restrained
walls .
6.4 Geochemical Considerations
Concrete in direct contact with soil or water that contains a high concentration of
soluble sulfates can be subject to chemical deterioration commonly known as
"sulfate attack." Soluble sulfate results (Appendix C) indicated negligible soluble
sulfate content. We recommend that concrete in contact with earth materials be
designed in accordance with Section 4 of ACI 318-11 (ACI, 2011 ).
Based on our experience in the site vicinity and laboratory tests, the site soils
have a moderately corrosion potential to buried uncoated metal conduits. We
recommend measures to mitigate corrosion be implemented during design and
construction.
6.5 Concrete Flatwork
Concrete sidewalks and other flatwork (including construction joints) should be
designed by the project civil engineer and should have a minimum thickness of 4
inches. For all concrete flatwork, the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils should be
moisture conditioned to at least 3 percent above optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction based on ASTM Test
Method D1557 prior to the concrete placement.
6.6 Preliminary Pavement Design
The preliminary pavement section design below is based on an assumed Traffic
Index (Tl), our visual classification of the subject site soils, experience with other
projects in the area, and our limited laboratory testing. Actual pavement
recommendations should be based on R-value tests performed on bulk samples
of the soils that are exposed at the finished subgrade elevations across the site
at the completion of the mass grading operations. Flexible pavement sections
have been evaluated in general accordance with the Caltrans method for flexible

pavement design. Based on an assumed R-value of 10, preliminary pavement
sections for planning purposes is given in Table 8 below:

Assumed Traffic Asphalt Concrete Aggregate Base
Index {Tl) (inches) (inches)
4.5 4.0 5.0
5.0 4.0 6.0
6.0 4.0 13.0
Prior to placement of the aggregate base, the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils
should be scarified, moisture-conditioned to at least optimum moisture content and
compacted to a minimum 95 percent relative compaction based on American
Standard of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Method D1557.
Class 2 Aggregate Base or Crushed Aggregate Base should then be placed and
compacted at a minimum 95 percent relative compaction in accordance with ASTM
Test Method D1557. The aggregate base material (AB) should be a maximum of 6
inches thick below the curb and gutter and extend a minimum of 6 inches behind the
back of the curb. The AB should conform to and placed in accordance with the
approved grading plans, and latest revision of the Standard Specifications Public
Works Construction (Greenbook).
The Asphalt Concrete (AC) material should conform to Caltrans Standard
Specifications, Sections 39 and 92, with a Performance Grade (PG) of 64-10, and
the City of Carlsbad requirements. The placement of the AC should be in
accordance with the approved grading plans, Section 203-6 of the "Greenbook"
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, and the City of Carlsbad
requirements. AC sections greater than 3-inches thick, should be placed in two
lifts. The 1st lift should be a 2-inch minimum base course consisting of a 3/4-inch
maximum coarse aggregate. The 2nd lift should be a 2-inch minimum surface
capping course consisting of a 1/2-inch maximum coarse aggregate. No single lift
shall be greater than 3 inches.
If pavement areas are adjacent to heavily watered landscaping areas, we
recommend some measures of moisture control be taken to prevent the subgrade

soils from becoming saturated. It is recommended that the concrete curbing,
separating the landscaping area from the pavement, extend below the aggregate
base to help seal the ends of the sections where heavy landscape watering may
have access to the aggregate base. Concrete swales should be designed if
asphalt pavement is used for drainage of surface waters.
6.7 Control of Ground Water and Surface Waters
Regarding Low Impact Development (LID) measures, we are of the opinion that
bioswales, infiltration basins, and other onsite storm water retention and infiltration
systems can potentially create adverse perched ground water conditions both on-
site and off-site. Therefore, given the site geologic conditions, impermeable
subsurface material, and project type, infiltration type LID measures are not
considered to be appropriate for this site and project. 30 mil HOPE Liners should
be used where detention areas are proposed near slopes or retaining walls, near
buildings, or over utilities .
Surface drainage should be controlled at all times and carefully taken into
consideration during precise grading, landscaping, and construction of site
improvements. Positive drainage (e.g., roof gutters, downspouts, area drains, etc.)
should be provided to direct surface water away from structures and improvements
and towards the street or suitable drainage devices. Ponding of water adjacent to
structures or pavements should be avoided. Roof gutters, downspouts, and area
drains should be aligned so as to transport surface water to a minimum distance of
5 feet away from structures. The performance of structural foundations is
dependent upon maintaining adequate surface drainage away from structures.
Water should be transported off the site in approved drainage devices or
unobstructed swales. We recommend a minimum flow gradient for unpaved
drainage within 5 feet of structures of 2 percent sloping away.
The impact of heavy irrigation or inadequate runoff gradient can create perched
water conditions, resulting in seepage or shallow ground water conditions where
previously none existed. Maintaining adequate surface drainage and controlled
irrigation will significantly reduce the potential for nuisance-type moisture
problems. To reduce differential earth movements such as heaving and shrinkage
due to the change in moisture content of foundation soils, which may cause
distress to a structure and improvements, moisture content of the soils surrounding

the structure should be kept as relatively constant as possible. Below grade
planters should not be situated adjacent to structures or pavements unless
provisions for drainage such as catch basins and drains are made .
All area drain inlets should be maintained and kept clear of debris in order to
function properly. In addition, landscaping should not cause any obstruction to site
drainage. Rerouting of drainage patterns and/or installation of area drains should
be performed, if necessary, by a qualified civil engineer or a landscape architect.

6.8 Construction Observation
The recommendations provided in this report are based on preliminary design
information and subsurface conditions disclosed by widely spaced excavations.
The interpolated subsurface conditions should be checked by Leighton and
Associates, Inc. in the field during construction. Construction observation of all
onsite excavations and field density testing of all compacted fill should be
performed by a representative of this office. We recommend that all excavations
be mapped by the geotechnical consultant during grading to determine if any
potentially adverse geologic conditions exist at the site.
6.9 Plan Review
Final project grading and foundation plans should be reviewed by Leighton and
Associates as part of the design development process to ensure that
recommendations in this report are incorporated in project plans.

7.0 LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based in part upon
data that were obtained from a limited number of observations, site visits, excavations,
samples, and tests. Such information is by necessity incomplete. The nature of many
sites is such that differing geotechnical or geological conditions can occur within small
distances and under varying climatic conditions. Changes in subsurface conditions can
and do occur over time. Therefore, the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
presented in this report can be relied upon only if Leighton has the opportunity to
observe the subsurface conditions during grading and construction of the project, in

Laboratory Testing Procedures and Test Results
Geotechnical Investigation, 2200 Afton Way, Carlsbad, California 10690.002
APPENDIX C
Laboratory Testing Procedures and Test Results
Moisture Tests: Moisture content determinations were performed on disturbed samples
obtained from the test borings. The results of these tests are presented in the boring logs.
Atterberg Limits: The Atterberg Limits were determined in accordance with ASTM Test
Method D4318 for engineering classification of the fine-grained materials and presented
in the table below:
Liquid Limit Plastic Limit Plasticity Index uses Soil Sample Location (%) (%) (%) Classification
B-1 at 30 to 35 45 18 27 CL feet
Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D6913): Particle size analysis was performed by
mechanical sieving methods according to ASTM D6913. Plots of the sieve results are
provided on the Figures in this appendix.
Direct Shear Tests: A direct shear test (ASTM D 3080) was performed on selected
sample which was soaked for a minimum of 24 hours under a surcharge equal to the
applied normal force during testing. After transfer of the sample to the shear box and
reloading of the sample, the pore pressures set up in the sample (due to the transfer)
were allowed to dissipate for a period of approximately 1-hour prior to application of
shearing force. The samples were tested under various normal loads utilizing a motor-
driven, strain-controlled, direct-shear testing apparatus at a strain rate of 0.0025 inches
per minute. After a shear strain of 0.2 inches, the motor was stopped and the sample was
allowed to "relax" for approximately 15 minutes. The stress drop during the relaxation
period was recorded. It is anticipated that, in a majority of samples tested, the 15 minutes
relaxing of the samples is sufficient to allow dissipation of pore pressures that may have
set up in the samples due to shearing. The drained peak strength was estimated by
deducting the shear force reduction during the relaxation period from the peak shear
values. The shear values at the end of shearing are considered to be ultimate values and
are presented on the attached figure. The samples were either remolded to 90% relative
compaction, undisturbed, or the samples were tested in a torsional shear machine to

Expansion Index Tests: The expansion potential of selected materials was evaluated by
the Expansion Index Text, ASTM Test Method 4829. A specimen is molded under a given
compactive energy to approximately 50 percent saturation. The prepared 1-inch thick by
4-inch diameter specimen is loaded to an equivalent 144 psf surcharge and is inundated
with water until volumetric equilibrium is reached. The result of this test is presented in the
table below:

General Earthwork and Grading Specifications
1.0 General
1.1 Intent
1.2
These General Earthwork and Grading Specifications are for the grading
and earthwork shown on the approved grading plan(s) and/or indicated in
the geotechnical report(s). These Specifications are a part of the
recommendations contained in the geotechnical report(s). In case of
conflict, the specific recommendations in the geotechnical report shall
supersede these more general Specifications. Observations of the
earthwork by the project Geotechnical Consultant during the course of
grading may result in new or revised recommendations that could
supersede these specifications or the recommendations in the
geotechnical report(s).
The Geotechnical Consultant of Record
Prior to commencement of work, the owner shall employ the Geotechnical
Consultant of Record (Geotechnical Consultant). The Geotechnical
Consultants shall be responsible for reviewing the approved geotechnical
report(s) and accepting the adequacy of the preliminary geotechnical
findings, conclusions, and recommendations prior to the commencement
of the grading .
Prior to commencement of grading, the Geotechnical Consultant shall
review the "work plan" prepared by the Earthwork Contractor (Contractor)
and schedule sufficient personnel to perform the appropriate level of
observation, mapping, and compaction testing .
During the grading and earthwork operations, the Geotechnical Consultant
shall observe, map, and document the subsurface exposures to verify the
geotechnical design assumptions. If the observed conditions are found to
be significantly different than the interpreted assumptions during the
design phase, the Geotechnical Consultant shall inform the owner,
recommend appropriate changes in design to accommodate the observed
conditions, and notify the review agency where required. Subsurface
areas to be geotechnically observed, mapped, elevations recorded, and/or
tested include natural ground after it has been cleared for receiving fill but
before fill is placed, bottoms of all "remedial removal" areas, all key
bottoms, and benches made on sloping ground to receive fill .
The Geotechnical Consultant shall observe the moisture-conditioning and
processing of the subgrade and fill materials and perform relative
compaction testing of fill to determine the attained level of compaction .
The Geotechnical Consultant shall provide the test results to the owner
and the Contractor on a routine and frequent basis.

General Earthwork and Grading Specifications
1.3 The Earthwork Contractor
The Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) shall be qualified, experienced,
and knowledgeable in earthwork logistics, preparation and processing of
ground to receive fill, moisture-conditioning and processing of fill, and
compacting fill. The Contractor shall review and accept the plans,
geotechnical report(s), and these Specifications prior to commencement of
grading. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for performing the
grading in accordance with the plans and specifications.
The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the owner and the
Geotechnical Consultant a work plan that indicates the sequence of
earthwork grading, the number of "spreads" of work and the estimated
quantities of daily earthwork contemplated for the site prior to
commencement of grading. The Contractor shall inform the owner and
the Geotechnical Consultant of changes in work schedules and updates to
the work plan at least 24 hours in advance of such changes so that
appropriate observations and tests can be planned and accomplished.
The Contractor shall not assume that the Geotechnical Consultant is
aware of all grading operations.
The Contractor shall have the sole responsibility to provide adequate
equipment and methods to accomplish the earthwork in accordance with
the applicable grading codes and agency ordinances, these
Specifications, and the recommendations in the approved geotechnical
report(s) and grading plan(s). If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical
Consultant, unsatisfactory conditions, such as unsuitable soil, improper
moisture condition, inadequate compaction, insufficient buttress key size,
adverse weather, etc., are resulting in a quality of work less than required
in these specifications, the Geotechnical Consultant shall reject the work
and may recommend to the owner that construction be stopped until the
conditions are rectified.
2.0 Preparation of Areas to be Filled
2.1 Clearing and Grubbing
Vegetation, such as brush, grass, roots, and other deleterious material
shall be sufficiently removed and properly disposed of in a method
acceptable to the owner, governing agencies, and the Geotechnical
Consultant.

LEIGHTON AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
General Earthwork and Grading Specifications
The Geotechnical Consultant shall evaluate the extent of these removals
depending on specific site conditions. Earth fill material shall not contain
more than 1 percent of organic materials (by volume). No fill lift shall
contain more than 5 percent of organic matter. Nesting of the organic
materials shall not be allowed.
If potentially hazardous materials are encountered, the Contractor shall
stop work in the affected area, and a hazardous material specialist shall
be informed immediately for proper evaluation and handling of these
materials prior to continuing to work in that area.
As presently defined by the State of California, most refined petroleum
products (gasoline, diesel fuel, motor oil, grease, coolant, etc.) have
chemical constituents that are considered to be hazardous waste. As
such, the indiscriminate dumping or spillage of these fluids onto the
ground may constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and/or
imprisonment, and shall not be allowed.
2.2 Processing
Existing ground that has been declared satisfactory for support of fill by
the Geotechnical Consultant shall be scarified to a minimum depth of
6 inches. Existing ground that is not satisfactory shall be overexcavated
as specified in the following section. Scarification shall continue until soils
are broken down and free of large clay lumps or clods and the working
surface is reasonably uniform, flat, and free of uneven features that would
inhibit uniform compaction.
2.3 Overexcavation
In addition to removals and overexcavations recommended in the
approved geotechnical report(s) and the grading plan, soft, loose, dry,
saturated, spongy, organic-rich, highly fractured or otherwise unsuitable
ground shall be overexcavated to competent ground as evaluated by the
Geotechnical Consultant during grading .
2.4 Benching
Where fills are to be placed on ground with slopes steeper than 5:1
(horizontal to vertical units), the ground shall be stepped or benched.
Please see the Standard Details for a graphic illustration. The lowest
bench or key shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide and at least 2 feet deep,
into competent material as evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant.
Other benches shall be excavated a minimum height of 4 feet into
competent material or as otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical

Consultant. Fill placed on ground sloping flatter than 5: 1 shall also be
benched or otherwise overexcavated to provide a flat subgrade for the fill.
2.5 Evaluation/Acceptance of Fill Areas
All areas to receive fill, including removal and processed areas, key
bottoms, and benches, shall be observed, mapped, elevations recorded,
and/or tested prior to being accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant as
suitable to receive fill. The Contractor shall obtain a written acceptance
from the Geotechnical Consultant prior to fill placement. A licensed
surveyor shall provide the survey control for determining elevations of
processed areas, keys, and benches.
3.0 Fill Material
3.1 General
Material to be used as fill shall be essentially free of organic matter and
other deleterious substances evaluated and accepted by the Geotechnical
Consultant prior to placement. Soils of poor quality, such as those with
unacceptable gradation, high expansion potential, or low strength shall be
placed in areas acceptable to the Geotechnical Consultant or mixed with
other soils to achieve satisfactory fill material.
3.2 Oversize
Oversize material defined as rock, or other irreducible material with a
maximum dimension greater than 8 inches, shall not be buried or placed
in fill unless location, materials, and placement methods are specifically
accepted by the Geotechnical Consultant. Placement operations shall be
such that nesting of oversized material does not occur and such that
oversize material is completely surrounded by compacted or densified fill.
Oversize material shall not be placed within 10 vertical feet of finish grade
or within 2 feet of future utilities or underground construction.
3.3 Import
If importing of fill material is required for grading, proposed import material
shall meet the requirements of Section 3.1. The potential import source
shall be given to the Geotechnical Consultant at least 48 hours (2 working
days) before importing begins so that its suitability can be determined and
appropriate tests performed.

General Earthwork and Grading Specifications
4.0 Fill Placement and Compaction
4.1 Fill Layers
Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill (per
Section 3.0) in near-horizontal layers not exceeding 8 inches in loose
thickness. The Geotechnical Consultant may accept thicker layers if
testing indicates the grading procedures can adequately compact the
thicker layers. Each layer shall be spread evenly and mixed thoroughly to
attain relative uniformity of material and moisture throughout.
4.2 Fill Moisture Conditioning
Fill soils shall be watered, dried back, blended, and/or mixed, as
necessary to attain a relatively uniform moisture content at or slightly over
optimum. Maximum density and optimum soil moisture content tests shall
be performed in accordance with the American Society of Testing and
Materials (ASTM Test Method D1557).
4.3 Compaction of Fill
After each layer has been moisture-conditioned, mixed, and evenly
spread, it shall be uniformly compacted to not less than 90 percent of
maximum dry density (ASTM Test Method D1557). Compaction
equipment shall be adequately sized and be either specifically designed
for soil compaction or of proven reliability to efficiently achieve the
specified level of compaction with uniformity.
4.4 Compaction of Fill Slopes
In addition to normal compaction procedures specified above, compaction
of slopes shall be accomplished by backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot
rollers at increments of 3 to 4 feet in fill elevation, or by other methods
producing satisfactory results acceptable to the Geotechnical Consultant.
Upon completion of grading, relative compaction of the fill, out to the slope
face, shall be at least 90 percent of maximum density per ASTM Test
Method D1557 .
4.5 Compaction Testing
Field-tests for moisture content and relative compaction of the fill soils
shall be performed by the Geotechnical Consultant. Location and
frequency of tests shall be at the Consultant's discretion based on field
conditions encountered. Compaction test locations will not necessarily be
selected on a random basis. Test locations shall be selected to verify
adequacy of compaction levels in areas that are judged to be prone to

inadequate compaction (such as close to slope faces and at the
fill/bedrock benches).
4.6 Frequency of Compaction Testing
4.7
Tests shall be taken at intervals not exceeding 2 feet in vertical rise and/or
1,000 cubic yards of compacted fill soils embankment. In addition, as a
guideline, at least one test shall be taken on slope faces for each
5,000 square feet of slope face and/or each 10 feet of vertical height of
slope. The Contractor shall assure that fill construction is such that the
testing schedule can be accomplished by the Geotechnical Consultant.
The Contractor shall stop or slow down the earthwork construction if these
minimum standards are not met.
Compaction Test Locations
The Geotechnical Consultant shall document the approximate elevation
and horizontal coordinates of each test location. The Contractor shall
coordinate with the project surveyor to assure that sufficient grade stakes
are established so that the Geotechnical Consultant can determine the
test locations with sufficient accuracy. At a minimum, two grade stakes
within a horizontal distance of 100 feet and vertically less than 5 feet apart
from potential test locations shall be provided.
5.0 Subdrain Installation
Subdrain systems shall be installed in accordance with the approved
geotechnical report(s), the grading plan, and the Standard Details. The
Geotechnical Consultant may recommend additional subdrains and/or changes in
subdrain extent, location, grade, or material depending on conditions
encountered during grading. All subdrains shall be surveyed by a land
surveyor/civil engineer for line and grade after installation and prior to burial.
Sufficient time should be allowed by the Contractor for these surveys.
6.0 Excavation
Excavations, as well as over-excavation for remedial purposes, shall be
evaluated by the Geotechnical Consultant during grading. Remedial removal
depths shown on geotechnical plans are estimates only. The actual extent of
removal shall be determined by the Geotechnical Consultant based on the field
evaluation of exposed conditions during grading. Where fill-over-cut slopes are
to be graded, the cut portion of the slope shall be made, evaluated, and accepted
by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to placement of materials for construction of
the fill portion of the slope, unless otherwise recommended by the Geotechnical
Consultant.

7 .0 Trench Backfills
7.1 Safety
The Contractor shall follow all OSHA and Cal/OSHA requirements for
safety of trench excavations.
7 .2 Bedding and Backfill
All bedding and backfill of utility trenches shall be performed in
accordance with the applicable provisions of Standard Specifications of
Public Works Construction. Bedding material shall have a Sand
Equivalent greater than 30 (SE>30). The bedding shall be placed to 1 foot
over the top of the conduit and densified. Backfill shall be placed and
densified to a minimum of 90 percent of relative compaction from 1 foot
above the top of the conduit to the surface .
The Geotechnical Consultant shall test the trench backfill for relative
compaction. At least one test should be made for every 300 feet of trench
and 2 feet of fill.
7 .3 Lift Thickness
Lift thickness of trench backfill shall not exceed those allowed in the
Standard Specifications of Public Works Construction unless the
Contractor can demonstrate to the Geotechnical Consultant that the fill lift
can be compacted to the minimum relative compaction by his alternative
equipment and method.
7.4 Observation and Testing
The densification of the bedding around the conduits shall be observed by
the Geotechnical Consultant.

Geotechnical Engineering Report
Important Information about Your
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Geoteclmical Services Are Performed for
Specific Purposes, Persons, 1111 Projects
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs of
their clients. A geotechnical engineering study conducted for a civil engi-
neer may not fulfill the needs of a construction contractor or even another
civil engineer. Because each geotechnical engineering study is unique, each
geotechnical engineering report is unique, preparPrl solelyfor the client. No
one except you should rely on your geotechnica1 engineering report without
first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one
-not even you -should apply the report for any purpose or project
except the one originally contemplated.
Read the Full Report
Serious problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical
engineering report did not read it all. Do not rely on an executive summary.
Do not read selected elements only.
A Geotecbnical Engineering R8118rl II Based on
A ~ique Set of Project-Speclflc Factors
Geotechnical engineers consider a number of unique, project-specific fac-
tors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors include: the
client's goals, objectives, and risk management preferences; the general
nature of the structure involved, its size, and configuration; the location of
the structure on the site; and other planned or existing site improvements,
such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless the
geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically indicates
otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report that was:
• not prepared tor you,
• not prepared for your project,
• not prepared for the specific site explored, or
• completed before important project changes were made.
Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing geotechnical
engineering report include those that affect:
• the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a
parking garage to an office building, or from a light industrial plant
to a refrigerated warehouse,
• elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the
proposed structure,
• composition of the design team, or
• project ownership.
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project
changes-even minor ones-and request an assessment of their impact.
Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems
that occur because their reports do not consider developments of which
they were not informed.
Subsurface Conditions C• Change
A geotechnical engineering report is based on conditions that existed at the
time the study was performed. Do not rely on a geotechnical engineering
report whose adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time; by
man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site; or by
natural events, such as floods, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations.
Always contact the geotechnical engineer before applying the report to
determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount of additional testing or
analysis could prevent major problems.
Most Geotechnical Andings Are Professional Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where
subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Geotechnical engi-
neers review field and laboratory data and then apply their professional
judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the
site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ-sometimes significantly-
from those indicated in your report. Retaining the geotechnical engineer
who developed your report to provide construction observation is the
most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated
conditions.
A Report's Recommendations Are Not Anal
Do not overrely on the construction recommendations included in your
report. Those recommendations are not final, because geotechnical engi-
neers develop them principally from judgment and opinion. Geotechnical
engineers can finalize their recommendations only by observing actual
subsurface conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical
engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or
liability for the report's recommendations if that engineer does not perform
construction observation.
A Geotachnical Engineering Report Is Subject to
Misinterpretation
Other design team members' misinterpretation of geotechnical engineering
reports has resulted in costly problems. Lower that risk by having your geo-
technical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team after
submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review perti-
nent elements of the design team's plans and specifications. Contractors can
also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering report. Reduce that risk by
having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction
conferences, and by providing construction observation.
Do Not Redraw the Enlli•er's Logs
Geotechnical engineers prepare final boring and testing logs based upon
their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or
omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering report should
never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings.
Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize
that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.
Give Contractors a Complete Report and
Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can make
contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what
they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give con-
tractors the complete geotechnical engineering report, but preface it with a
clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the
report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the
report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical
engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/or to
conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they
need or prefer. A prebid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contrac-
tors have sufficient time to perform additional study. Only then might you
be in a position to give contractors the best information available to you,
while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities
stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and contractors do not recognize that
geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disci-
plines. This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that
have led to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk
of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include a variety of
explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations'
many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsi-
bilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities
and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical
engineer should respond fully and frankly.
Geoenvtronmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a geoenviron-
mental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical
study. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering report does not usually
relate any geoenvironmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations;
e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or
regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental problems have led to
numerous project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own geoenvi-
ronmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk manage-
ment guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for
someone else.
Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal with Mold
Diverse strategies can be applied during building design, construction,
operation, and maintenance to prevent significant amounts of mold from
growing on indoor surfaces. To be effective, all such strategies should be
devised for the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a com-
prehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a professional
mold prevention consultant. Because just a small amount of water or
moisture can lead to the development of severe mold infestations, a num-
ber of mold prevention strategies focus on keeping building surfaces dry.
While groundwater, water infiltration, and similar issues may have been
addressed as part of the geotechnical engineering study whose findings
are conveyed in this report, the geotechnical engineer in charge of this
project is not a mold prevention consultant; none of the services per-
fanned in connection with the geotschnical engineer's study
were designed or conducted for the purpose of mold preven-
tion. Proper Implementation of the recommendations conveyed
in this report will not of itseff be sufficient to prevent mold from
growing in or on the structure involl!Bd.
Rely on Your ASFE-Member Geotecbnical Engineer for Additional Assistance

Response to Comments from SWMM Review for Afton Way
1. Page 1 comment: Explain why an area sizing factor of 0.035 was used. Does the required V1+V2
result from the area x the orifice I.E. to F.S. height?
The basins were sized based on a volumetric calculation. The 0.035 sizing factor is not related to
the volume calculations.
2. Page 2, 1st comment: Is there a flow thru planter LID model to account for impervious liner?
The LID module in SWMM allows for the user to set it for no infiltration.
3. Page 2, 2nd comment: Puls?
The Modified Puls routing is a common method used to route flows through a basin.
4. Page 5 comment on Figure la and lb: There is only one POC.
Yes, there is only one POC. Please see updated report.
5. Attachment 1 comment on Q2 to QlO comparison: Q does not match (E) condition Q's in Table 7
of drainage report. Please clarify discrepancy.
The Qs on Table 7 from the drainage study are based on a synthetic rainfall event, whereas the
ones in Attachment 1 are based on the continuous hourly precipitation data from the Oceanside
rain gage.
6. Attachment 2 comment on FDCs: Use dash or other means other than color to distinguish.
Please see updated report.
7. Attachment 4 comment on Stage Storage: Gravel volume not correct.
Please see updated report.
8. Attachment 4 comment on Stage Discharge Low Orifice: Low orifice 1.25" per table 1 pg.SO.
The LID orifice is modeled in the LID module in SWMM. The 1.0 inch orifice on the stage-discharge
table is not used, as the number of orifices is set to zero. Additionally, this Low Orifice refers to a
surface orifice not LID orifice.
9. Attachment 4 comment on Stage Discharge: Explain what height this represents. Catch basin
(emergency weir) is 1.75" from basin surface. "Lower" slot is 1.0' from surface.
The elevations are measured 1.0 feet above the top of the amended soil layer, where the first
surface discharge is located. Please see updated report.
2 Job# 359-01
10. Attachment 4 comment on Drawdown: Why doesn't Q discharge rate drop as head drops?
The drawdown calculations have been updated. Please see revised report.

Re: REVIEW OF THE TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM: SWMM MODELING FOR HYDROMODIFICATION
COMPLIANCE OF AFTON WAY. CITY OF CARLSBAD, CA. PREPARED FOR PRESIDIO MANA CARLSBAD 9,
LLC, BY TRWE, APRIL 9, 2015. REVISED JUNE 17, 2015.
1. (Page 1) Apparent inconsistency between SWQMP and TRWE's HMP technical memorandum
(TM) regarding nature of the soils: from our TM -"The site was modeled with Type B/C and
Type O hydrologic soils ... ". Clarify why soils were modeled as B/C.
TRWE Response: As noted in the HMP technical memorandum, our determination was based
on our assessment of the more detailed "Geotechnical Investigation, Proposed Afton Way
Residential Development, 2200 Afton Way Carlsbad, CA", by Leighton and Associates, Inc.
(see Attachment 8). The apparent discrepancy is not a true discrepancy; rather, it is
appropriate to utilize more site-specific and detailed soils data for the continuous simulation
modeling, when available; it is likewise appropriate to, at the same time, use more general
NRCS/County Hydrology Manual soils for typical hydrologic and/or water quality
calculations. They do not need to be perfectly aligned.
2. (Pages 2 and 3) Surface depth of 2.5 feet (30 inches) in Basins 1 and 2 is inconsistent with
plans and detail on OMA exhibit.
TRWE Response: Plans and detail on DMA exhibit will be revised to be consistent with HMP
technical memorandum.
3. (Attachment 4) Comment: Match detail on plans and OMA Exhibit.
TRWE Response: Please refer to the note just above the table header that states "all
elevations measure 1 foot above the amended soil." For calculation purposes, the
spreadsheet emergency weir invert elevation must be 0.75 feet. Therefore, the 0.75-foot
invert elevation corresponds to a 1.75-foot invert elevation on the plans and DMA exhibit.
Both exhibits have been revised to reflect these specifications.

4. (Attachment 6) Comment: Clarify how diversion structure is modified.
TRWE Response: Please see details on revised plans. The diversion structure simply divides
the flow in direct proportion to the square footage of the split-level BMP {21% to the smaller
basin, 79% to the larger basin), thus ensuring proportional water quality treatment and
hydromodification management. The total proposed project area has been divided
proportionally into two separate subcatchments (21% and 79%, respectively) in order to
model the diverted flow into each basin.
5. (Attachment 7) Comment: Reference City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual.
TRWE Response: Noted; due to the fact that this minor oversight would be the only reason
to revise the report, and that it would not in any way change any conclusions or results, we
request the missed reference be left as is.
6. Comment: Invert on plan details appears to be 1' -match.
TRWE Response: The draft outlet structure rating curve spreadsheets in question had been
inadvertently added to the report; please remove and refer to the spreadsheet titled "Outlet
structure for Discharge of Biofiltration 1 and 2."
