1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) summarizes the post-construction storm water
requirements for the Invitrogen project. The project is located in the City of Carlsbad just north
of Faraday Ave and west of College Boulevard. Please see the Vicinity Map in Section 2.0 for
the location of the project.
The project proposes to create a parking lot on a small portion of the Invitrogen campus that is
currently a mass graded pad. The majority of existing drainage boundaries and flow patterns will
not change. The changes .that are taking place are all contained on-site, and as a result the same
areas are tributary to the same storm drain systems as in the pre-project condition.
In both the .pre-project and post-project condition, storm water runoff from the parking lot
portion of the project site is conveyed across the site in a northerly direction before being tied
into an existing storm drain system. This existing stormdrain system conveys the flows northerly
along College Blvd before outletting into Agua Hedionda Creek and ultimately into Agua
Hedionda Lagoon. There is also a portion of the Invitrogen property that drains westerly along
Faraday Ave, outlets into an unnamed tributary that ultimately discharges into Agua Hedionda
Lagoon.
The purpose of this SWMP is to address the water quality impacts from the project. Best
Management Practices (BMPs) will be utilized to provide a long-term solution to water quality at
the project site. The SWMP is also intended to ensure the effectiveness of the BMPs through
proper maintenance that is based on long-term fiscal planning. For the purposes of post-
construction storm water quality management, the project will follow the guidelines and
requirements set forth in the City of Carlsbad's "Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan,"
adopted March, 2008 (herein "SUSMP").
Based on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Project Applicability
Form, the project is a "Priority Project." The following Priority Development Project category
applies to the Invitrogen project: Parking Lots, which would create a new paved surface that is

3.0 IDENTIFY POLLUTANTS* & CONDITIONS OF CONCERN
Section 2.3 of the City of Carlsbad's SUSMP outlines the procedure for the selection of
permanent storm water BMPs. The procedure begins with identification of pollutants and
conditions of concern, a three-step process described in Section 2.3.2 of the SUSMP. This
section of the SWIvIP addresses each step from Section 2.3.2 to identify pollutants and conditions
of concern.
3.1.a Identify Pollutants from the Project Area
Table 2 of the SUSMP, "Anticipated and Potential Pollutants Generated by Land Use Type"
identifies general pollutant categories that are either anticipated or potential pollutants for
general project categories. The project proposes parking improvements, therefore, the "Parking
Lots" category shall be used to describe the anticipated or potential pollutants for the project.
Table 2 is reproduced on the following page, with the Priority Development Project categories
applicable to the Invitrogen project highlighted.

3.1.b Identify Pollutants of Concern in Receiving Waters
Based on Section 2.3.2.2 of the SUSMP, to identify pollutants of concern in receiving waters, the•
following analysis shall be conducted and reported in the project's SWMP: (1) for each of the
proposed project discharge points, identify the receiving water(s), ihcluding hydrologic unit
basin number(s), as identified in the most recent version of the "Water Quality Control Plan for
the San Diego Basin," prepared by the SDRWQCB; and (2) identify any receiving waters, into•
which the developed area would discharge to, included in the "2006 CWA Section 303(d) List of
Water Quality Limited Segments" approved by the SWRCB on October 25, 2006. List any and
all pollutants for which the receiving waters are impaired.
Identification of Receiving Waters
According to the "Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin," dated September 8,
1994, prepared by the SDRWQCB, the Invitrógen project is located in the following hydrologic
unit basin: Los Monos Subarea in the Agua 'Hedionda Hydrologic Area within the Carlsbad
Hydrologic Unit. The corresponding hydrologic unit basin number designation is 904.31
(Region '9', Hydrologic Unit '09', Hydrologic Area '3', and Hydrologic Subarea '1'). An
exhibit has been provided in Appendix B of thi's report titled, "Invitrogen Hydrologic Location
Map" which shows the project location within Hydrologic Unit 904.31. According to a 'review
of asbuilt plans for the downstream storm drain system, the downstream system ultimately
discharges into Agua Hedionda Creek prior to its outlet into Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
Identification of Receiving Water Impairments
On October 25, 2006, the SWRCB adopted the "2006 CWA Section 303(d) List of Water
Quality Limited Segments" (2006 303(d) List). The receiving waters for Invitrogen project that
are currently listed as impaired based on the 2006 303(d) List include: Agua Hedionda Creek and
Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The pollutants/stressors causing impairments are manganese, selenium,
sulfates, total dissolved solids, indicator bacteria, and sedimentation/siltation. Due to its
associated priority project category, it is not anticipated that the project will be discharging any
Prepared By: DCB:TJ:kc/Report/15767-A.001
Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 6 7-16-08
bacteria/viruses, sediments, or nutrients, so heavy metals is the only primary pollutant of
concern. Since Landscaping will exist on-site, sediments and nutrients remain a potential
pollutant of concern as well.
In both the pre-project and post-project condition, storm water runoff from the parking lot
portion of the project site is conveyed northerly by College Blvd. All storm water runoff from
this area will ultimately discharge into Agua Hedionda Creek then Agua Hedionda Lagoon,
which connects to the Pacific Ocean to the west. Storm water from the remainder of the site
discharges into an unnamed tributary before outfalling into Agua Hedionda Lagoon, which
connects to the Pacific Ocean.
The pollutant heavy metals is a primary pollutant of concern because it falls under both an
anticipated pollutant generated by parking lots and because it is has been identified as a pollutant
causing impairment to a 303(d) listed water body that the project is directly discharging to.
3.1.c Identify Conditions of Concern in Receiving Waters
Conditions of concern for the project are related to any relevant hydrologic and environmental
factors that are to be protected specific to the project area's watershed. A change to a Priority
Development Project site's hydrologic regime would be considered a condition of concern if the
change would impact downstream channels and habitat integrity. Potential impacts to
downstream channels and habitat are evaluated and addressed in this section of the SWMP. The
following discussion summarizes the factors that were evaluated and design measures that were
incorporated to mitigate impacts to downstream channels and habitat.
Drainage patterns for the pre-project and post-project conditions are essentially the same. In
order to mitigate for the increases in peak flows due to paving the area that was permeable in the
pre-project condition, an underground detention system is proposed. This detention system will
detain 2, 10, and 100 year flows fràm the northern portion of the parking lot so when it
confluences with the remainder of the parking lot, the flows are at pre-project levels.

For additional information, refer to the drainage study titled, "Drainage Study for Invitrogen,"
and dated July 16, 2008, was prepared by Rick Engineering Company (Rick Engineering
Company Job Number 15767-A).
In regards to water quality impacts to downstream water bodies, the development of the project
site will provide permanent storm water BMPs that are expected to treat all anticipated pollutants
to the maximum extent practicable prior to leaving the project site. The following section of this
SWMP, Section 4.0, will discuss the permanent storm water BMPs proposed for the project.

Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 8 7-16-08
4.0 ESTABLISH STORM WATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs)
The following discussion addresses requirements of Section 2.3.3 of the SUSMP, to establish
permanent BMPs. As listed in Section 2.3.3 of the SUSMP, projects subject to Priority
Development Project requirements, at minimum, must implement low impact development (LID)
site design .BMPs and source control BMPs. Projects subject to Priority Development Project
requirements must also implement the BMPs applicable to Individual Priority Development
Project categories (listed in Sections 2.3.3.3 of the SUSMP) and structural treatment control
BMPs (discussed in Section 2.3.3.4 of the SUSMP). Alternative storm water BMPs not
identified in Table 4 may be approved at the discretion of the City of Carlsbad, provided the
alternative BMP is as effective in removal of pollutants of concern as other feasible BMPs listed
in Table 4. The following sections 4.2.a through 4.2.c of this SWIvIP will discuss the permanent
storm water BMPs proposed for the project.
4.2.a Low Impact Development (LID) and Site Design BMPs
The term "Low Impact Development (LID)" means a storm water management and land
development strategy that emphasizes conservation and the use of on-site natural features
integrated with engineered, small-scale hydrologic controls to more closely reflect pre-
development hydrologic features. "Site design BMP" known as a significant part of Low Impact
Development (LID), means any project design feature that reduces the amount of impervious
surfaces, disconnects impervious surfaces, reduces creation or severity of potential pollutant
sources and/or reduces the alteration of the project site's natural flow regime.
The geotechnical engineer has identified the site with poor soil conditions (as evident by. existing
conditions on the site). The use of filter strips and filter swales incorporated into the surface
drainage of the parking lots was investigated but deemed infeasible by the geotechnical engineer.
However, the project will meet the intent of LID by several means. For one, the development
will consist of a previously graded area, therefore not disturbing existing natural areas.
Secondly, the project will incorporate on-site underground detention facilities to detain post-
project peak flow rates back to pre-project peak flow rates, helping to maintain hydrologic

Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 9 7-16-08
conditions and protect downstream channels from potential erosion. Finally, the treatment
effets of swäles and strips will be 'met with the proposed- filtration devices.
It is recognized that the incorporation of swales, strips, or pervious pavement are preferred LID
techniques, however the unfavorable soil conditions require a plan that minimizes saturating the
surrounding soils.
4.2b Source Control BMPs
The term "source control BMP" refers to land use or site planning practices, or structures that
aim to prevent urban runoff pollution by reducing the potential for contamination at the source of
pollution. Source control BMPs minimize the contact between pollutants and urban runoff. The
following discussion identifies the source control BMPs from Section 2.3.3.2 of the SUSMP that
are proposed for Invitrogen project.
Design Outdoor Material Storage Areas to Reduce Pollution Introduction
There are no outdoor materials storage areas proposed for the project.
Design Trash Storage Areas to Reduce Pollution Introduction
There are no trash storage areas proposed for the project.
Employ Integrated Pest Management Principles
Integrated pest management principles will be implemented as applicable to the Invitrogen
project.
Use Efficient Irrigation Systems & Landscape Design
Prepared By: - DCB:TJ:kclReport/15767-A.001
Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 10 7-16-08
Irrigation systems for the project will be designed to incorporate the following methods to reduce
excessive irrigation runoff, which are described in the City SUSMP, where determined
applicable and feasible:
Automatic rain shutoff devices to prevent irrigation during and after precipitation.
Irrigation systems will be designed per project's specific water requirements..
. Flow reducers or shutoff valves triggered by a pressure drop will be provided to help avoid
flow of water in the event of sprinkler breakdown.
The irrigation system throughout the site will utilize the "efficient" methods described above. In
addition, very drought tolerant plants are proposed for the planters throughout the site so that
only very minimal irrigation can take place. This has been proposed because of the very poor
soil quality as discussed previously.
Provide Storm Drain System Stenciling and Signage
Typical storm water stenciling and signage procedures will be provided for all storm drain inlets
and catch basins within the project area. The project owner or the project owner's authorized
representative will contact the City of Carlsbad prior to completing the construction of any inlets
to determine the most current stenciling requirements and incorporate that stenciling at the inlets.
The stencils and/or labels discouraging illegal dumping to the stormdrain system will be
maintained to provide legibility.
4.2.c Treatment Control BMPs
The term "treatment control BMP" refers to any. engineered system designed and constructed to
remove pollutants from urban runoff. Pollutant removal is achieved by gravity settling,
filtration, biological uptake, media adsorption, or any other physical, biological, or chemical
process. Section 2.3.3.4 of the SUSMP provides a selection process for treatment control BMP
selection. The following discussion identifies the treatment control BMPs 'proposed for
Invitrogen project.
Prepared By: DCB:TJ:kc/Report/15767-A.001
Rick. Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 11 . 7-16-08
As discussed in Section 3.1.a, the project as a whole can be expected to generate the following
pollutants: heavy metals, trash & debris, and oil and grease. Tables 4 and 4.1 of the City
SUSMP provide a guide to BMP selection. The applicable portions of Tables 4 and 4.1 are

Descriptions of each BMP category shown in Tables 4 are summarized below:
Bioretention Facilities (infiltration planters, flow-through planters, bioretention areas, and
bioretention swales) - Facilities are designed to capture runoff and infiltrate slowly through
soil media which also supports vegetation. Bioretention facilities, except for flow-through
planters, effectively promote infiltration into native soils. In clay soils, facilities may capture
excess treated runoff in an underdrain piped to the municipal storm drain system. Typical
criteria: an infiltration surface, area at least 4% of tributary impervious area, 6-inch average
depth of top reservoir, 18-inch soil layer, 12-inch to 18-inch gravel subsurface storage layer.
Settling Basins and Wetlands (extended detention basins, "wet" basins, decorative or
recreational ,lakes or water features also used for storm water treatment, constructed
wetlands) - Facilities are designed to capture a minimum water quality volume of 80% of
total runoff and detain for a minimum of 48 hours. Some wetland designs have proven
effective in removing nutrients, but performance varies.
Infiltration Facilities or Practices (infiltration basins, infiltration trenches, dry wells, dispersal
of runoff to landscape, pervious pavements). These facilities and landscape designs capture,
retain, and infiltrate a minimum of 80% of runoff into the' ground. Infiltration facilities are
generally only feasible in permeable (Hydrologic Soil Group A br B) soils. Volume and area
of infiltration facilities depends on soil permeability and safety factor used. Typical criteria:
Infiltration facilities should have pretreatment to remove silt to prolong life of the facility. A
10-foot vertical separation from average seasonal groundwater depth is required. Dispersal
to landscape may be accomplished in any soil type and generally requires a maximum 2:1
ratio impervious: pervious and concave topography to ensure the first 1 inch of rainfall is
retained.
Media Filters (sand filters) - Filters designed to treat runoff produced by a rainfall of 0.2
inches per hour (or 85th percentile hourly rainfall intensity) by slow infiltration through sand
or other media. Typical criteria: Surface loading rate not to exceed 5 inches/hour. Entire
surface of the sand must be accessible for maintenance.
Prepared By: DCB:TJ:kc/Report/15767-A.00I
Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 13 7-16-08
High Rate Biofilters (tree wells, typically proprietary) - Biofllters with specially designed
media to rapidly filter runoff while removing some pollutants. Filterra (proprietary version)
recommends surface loading rates of up to 100 inches/hour.
High-rate Media Filters (typically proprietary) - Vaults with replaceable cartridge filters
filled with inorganic media.
Hydrodynamic Devices - Hydrodynamic devices are flow-through structures with a settling
or separation unit that removes sediment and other pollutants. No outside power source is
required because, the energy of the flowing storm water allows the sediment to efficiently
settle out.
Pursuant to the above descriptions of each category of BMPs, high rate media filters are the most
suitable BMP for the Invitrogen project. In addition to these high rate media filters, two
hydrodynamic separator units will be installed on the Invitrogen campus, treating only areas
from the previously developed portion of the Invitrogen campus. While not required for this
project, the BMP retrofitting of the existing developed areas 'will improve the quality of runoff
over existing conditions.
High rate media filters are expected to treat all anticipated pollutants generated from the project
site at a medium to high level of removal efficiency. Because of the poor soil conditions, none
of the structural treatment control BMPs with higher pollutant removal efficiencies '(bioretention
facilities, settling basins, wet ponds and wetlands, infiltration facilities, and media filters) could
be utilized because they all in one way -or another require the flows to come in contact with the
soil and filter through it, resulting in saturated conditions.
The location of the high rate media filters and hydrodynamic separators are shown on the exhibit
titled, "Storm Water Management Plan Exhibit for Invitrogen," located in Map Pocket 1.
Prepared By: DCB:TJ:kc/Report/15767-A.001
Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 14 7-16-08
Numeric Sizing Treatment Standards
High rate media filters and hydrodynamic separator units are designed to treat flows based on
numeric sizing criteria found in Section 2.3.3.4 of the SUSMP. Pursuant to numeric sizing
criteria in the SUSMP, the flow of runoff produced from a 0.2 in/hr storm event shall be used to
design to flow-based BMPs.
The following equation was used to determine the treatment flow rate:
Flow: Q=CIA
'Q' is the treatment flow rate in cubic feet per second (cfs),.
'C' is the weighted runoff coefficient for the drainage area,
'I' is the rainfall intensity in inches per hour (in/hr) [0.2 in/hr for water quality], and
'A' is the drainage area in acres (ac).
The calculations for the water quality treatment flow rates are included in Appendix C of this
report. Details of the high rate media filters are included in Appendix D.

5.0 MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS
Invitrogen will ensure the ongoing maintenance for the permanent storm water BMPs proposed
for the project. Invitrogen will be responsible for properly disposing of waste material from their
assumed areas within the project site, maintaining landscaping throughout those areas in a
manner that will prevent soil erosion and minimize sediment transport, and maintaining drainage
facilities located throughout the project area in a clean manner and in good repair. In addition,
Invitrogen will be responsible for maintaining all post-construction BMPs.
Typical Maintenance -Procedures for Treatment Control BMPs
The following treatment control BMPs require permanent maintenance: hydrodynamic devises
and high rate media filters. The discussions below, provide inspection criteria, maintenance
indicators, and maintenance activities for the treatment control BMPs.
Hydrodynamic Devices (e.g. CDS Units)
CDS units will be utilized to treat runoff from the portion of the Invitrogen campus that has
already been developed. Invitrogen will be responsible for the maintenance of the CDS units.
The CDS units should be inspected periodically to ensure their condition is adequate to handle
anticipated runoff. Initially following the installation of new treatment control BMPs, it is
important to check that they are functioning properly and measure the amount of deposition
occurring from specific storm events. Initially, inspections should be made on 'a monthly basis
and after every storm event that exceeds 0.25 inches to check that the CDS units are functioning
properly and whether they require servicing at that time. Based on these inspections, it may be
necessary to adjust the frequency of scheduled inspection and maintenance cleanings. Once the
CDS Units have 'been properly installed and are functioning, inspection and maintenance
frequency may be adjusted as suggested by the manufacturer and service vendor.

Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 16 7-16-08
High Rate Media Filters (e.g. Stormfdter Filtration Vaults or Baysaver Filtration Vaults)
High rate media filters will be utilized to treat runoff from, the proposed improvements on-site.
Invitrogen will be responsible for the maintenance of the high rate media filters.
Initially following the installation of new treatment control BMPs, it is important to check that
they are functioning properly and measure the amount of deposition occurring from specific
storm events. The high rate media filter system should be inspected at least once a year and after
major storm events. When the filters start to became saturated, they need to be replaced and the
vault should be cleaned with a vacuum truck.
Underground Detention Basin (e.g. Storm Tech System)
The underground detention system is not intended as a treatment control BMP, however it will
require maintenance. Specifically, the isolator row will focus maintenance to one section of the
system in most cases, however the system as a whole will also require cleaning from time to
time.
Inspection and Maintenance Frequency
The Table below lists, the BMPs to be inspected and maintained and the minimum frequency of
inspection and maintenance activities.
Table 5. Summary Table of Inspection and Maintenance Frequency (Minimum)
BMP Inspection Maintenance Frequency Frequency

Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 17 7-16.08
The frequencies given in the Summary Table of Inspection and Maintenance Frequency are
minimum recommended frequencies for inspection and maintenance activities for the Invitrogen
project. Typically, the frequency of maintenance required for permanent BMPs is site and
drainage area specific. If it is determined during the regularly scheduled inspection and/or
routine maintenance that a BMP requires more frequent maintenance, it may be necessary to
increase the frequency of inspection and/or routine maintenance.
RecOrdkeeping Requirements
Invitrogen is responsible to ensure implementation and funding of maintenance of permanent
BMPs and shall maintain records documenting the inspection and maintenance activities. Parties
responsible for the Operation and Maintenance (0 & M) Plan shall retain records for at least 5
years.
A copy of the Operation and Maintenance (0 & M) Plan is included in Appendix E of this
SWMP.

6.0 SUMMARY
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) summarizes the post-construction storm water
- requirements for the Invitrogen project. The project is located in the City of Carlsbad just north
of Faraday Ave and west of College Boulevard.
The project proposes to create a parking lot on a small portion of the Invitrogen campus that is
currently a mass graded pad. The majority of existing drainage boundaries and flow patterns will
not change. The changes that are taking place are all contained on-site, and as a result the same
areas are tributary to the same storm drain systems as in the pre-projëct condition.
In both the pre-project and post-project condition, storm water runoff from the project site is
conveyed across the site in a northerly direction before being tied into an existing storm drain
system. This existing stonndrain system èonveys the flows northerly along College Blvd before
outletting into Agua Hedionda Creek and ultimately into Agua Hedionda Lagoon. There is also a
portion of the Invitrogen property that drains westerly along Faraday Ave, outlets into an
unnamed tributary that ultimately discharges into Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
For the purposes of post-construction storm water quality management, the project will follow
the guidelines and requirements set forth in the City of Carlsbad's "Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan," adopted March 2008.
Based on the NPDES Project Applicability Form, the project is a "Priority Project." The project
proposes developing an existing mass graded pad into a parking lot, therefore, "Parking Lots"
category shall be used to describe the anticipated or potential pollutants for the project. Based on
the proposed land use, anticipated pollutants from the Invitrogen project include heavy metals,
trash & debris, and oil and grease. The potential pollutants include sediments, nutrients, oxygen
demanding substances, and pesticides.
According to the "Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin," dated September 8,
1994, prepared by the SDRWQCB, the Invitrogen project is located in the following hydrologic

Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 19 7-16-08
unit basin: Los Monos Subarea in the Agua Hedionda Hydrologic Area within the Carlsbad
Hydrologic Unit. The corresponding hydrologic unit basin number designation is 904.31. The
receiving waters for Invitrogen project that are currently listed as impaired based on the 2006
303(d) List include: Agua Hedionda Creek and Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The pollutants/stressors
causing impairments are manganese, selenium, sulfates, total dissolved solids, indicator bacteria,
and sedimentation/siltation. Due to its associated priority project category, it is not anticipated
that the project will be discharging any bacteria/viruses, sediments (potential), or nutrients
(potential), so heavy metals is the primary pollutant of concern and will be treated with the high
rate media filters. Additional treatment BMPs (hydrodynamic devices) will also be installed to
retrofit the existing development area of the Invitrogen property.
The project will meet the intent of many aspects of low impact development as well as
incorporate source control and treatment control BMPs, which are described in Section 4.0 of
this report; The treatment control BMPs, high rate media filters, as well as a StormTech Isolator
Row were selected based on evaluation of all treatment control BMPs listed in the SUSMP as the
most suitable treatment control BMP based onsite constraints (e.g. very poor soils) and pollutant
removal capability. The high rate media filters are expected to treat all anticipated pollutants of
concern at a medium to high level of removal efficiency. High rate media filters are designed to
treat flows based on numeric sizing criteria from the SUSMP, the flow of runoff produced from a
0.2 in/hr storm event.
Invitrogen is the owner of the project and therefore will be responsible for maintenance of all
permanent storm water BMPs. The following BMPs for the Invitrogen project require
permanent maintenance: hydrodynamic devices, high rate media filters, and the underground
detention basin.

Development Application
Storm Water Standards Questionnaire
Prepared By: DCB:TJ:kclReport/15767-A.001
Rick Engineering Company - Water Resources Division 7-16-08
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
STORMWATER STANDARDS QUESTIONNAIRE
I INSTRUCTIONS: I
This questionnaire must be completed by applicant in advance of submitting for a development
application (subdivision and land use planning approvals and construction permits). The results of the
questionnaire determine the level of storm water pollution prevention standards applied to a proposed
development or redevelopment project. Many aspects of project site design are dependent upon the
storm water pollution protection standards applied to a project.
Applicant 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. A staff determination that the development application is subject to
more stringent storm water standards, than initially assessed by the applicant, will result in the return
of the development application as incomplete.
If applicants are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond
to one or more of the questions, they are advised to seek assistance from Engineering Department
Development Services staff.
A separate completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted for each new development
application submission. Only one completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple
development applications. for the same project are submitted concurrently. In addition to this
questionnaire, applicants for construction permits must also complete, sign and submit a Construction
Activity Storm Water Standards Questionnaire.
To address pollutants that may be generated from new development, the City requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best
Management Practices (BMPs) into the project design, which are described in Section 2 of the City's
Storm Water Standards Manual This questionnaire should be used to categorize new development
and significant redevelopment projects as priority or non-priority, to determine what level of storm
water standards are required or if the project is exempt.
Is your project a significant redevelopment? I Definition:
Significant redevelopment is defined as the creation or addition of at least 5,000 square feet of impervious
surface on an already developed site.
Significant redevelopment includes, but is not limited to: the expansion of a building footprint; addition to or
replacement of a structure; structural development including an increase in gross floor area and/or exterior
construction remodeling; replacement of an impervious surface that is not part of a routine maintenance activity;
and land disturbing activities related with structural or impervious surfaces. Replacement of impervious surfaces
includes any activity that is not part of a routine maintenance activity where impervious material(s) are removed,
exposing underlying soil during construction.
Note: If the Significant Redevelopment results in an increase of less than fifty percent of the impervious surfaces
of a previously existing development, and the existing development was not subject to SUSMP requirements,
the numeric sizing criteria discussed in Section F.1.b. (2)(c) applies only to the addition, and not to the entire
development.
If your project IS considered significant redevelopment, then please skip Section 1 and proceed with Section
2.
If your project IS NOT considered significant redevelopment, then please proceed to Section 1.
