1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
This Hydrology Study for the proposed development at 4008 Garfield Street, known as
the Garfield Homes, has been prepared to analyze the hydrologic and hydraulic
characteristics of the existing and proposed project site. This report intends to present
both the methodology and the calculations used for determining the runoff from the
project site in both the pre-developed (existing) conditions and the post-developed
(proposed) conditions produced by the 100-year, 6-hour storm.
1.2 Existing Conditions
The subject property is located along Garfield Street, southeast of the Garfield Street and
Chinquapin Avenue intersection, in the City of Carlsbad. The site is bound by Garfield
Street to the west, Chinquapin Avenue to the north, and residential development to the
south and east. The existing site consists of a single-family residential structure, detached
garage, and other hardscape and landscape improvements typical to the surrounding
residential sites. The project site is located in the Carlsbad Watershed, the Agua
Hedionda Hydrologic Area, and, more specifically, the Los Monos Hydrologic Sub-Area
(904.31).
The subject property has an approximate area of 0.138 acres and is approximately 51%
impervious in the existing condition. Per the Web Soil Survey application available
through the United States Department of Agriculture, the basin is generally categorized to
have type B hydrologic soils. Based on the existing impervious area and land use type, a
pre-development weighted runoff coefficient of 0.58 was calculated for the subject
property using the methodology described in section 3.1.2 of the San Diego County
Hydrology Manual and the formula provided therein.
The existing site can be categorized into a single drainage basin designated as basin
EX-1, which comprises the entire property. Drainage basin EX-1 primarily drains from
west to east, discharging onto Chinquapin Avenue by surface and sheet flow methods.
Once on Chinquapin Avenue, runoff leaving the site travels east along Chinquapin
Avenue and enters an existing storm drain inlet at the end of the public street. Storm
water collected in the drain at the end of Chinquapin Avenue continues to be conveyed
through public storm water facilities until ultimately reaching the Pacific Ocean.
Using the Rational Method Procedure outlined in the San Diego County Hydrology
Manual, a peak flow rate and time of concentration were calculated for the 100-year, 6-
hour storm event for the onsite drainage basins. Table 1 below summarizes the results of
the Rational Method calculations.

node map included in the appendix of this report for pre-development drainage basin
delineation and discharge locations.
1.3 Proposed Project
The proposed project includes the demolition of all existing onsite improvements and the
construction of three (3) new multi-family residential condominiums. Construction
activities such as grading and onsite hardscape improvements are also proposed.
Hardscape improvements include the construction of concrete driveways and walkways.
The development project also includes offsite improvement in the right-of-way such as
public concrete walkways, new curb and gutter, and driveway aprons. Miscellaneous
landscape improvements typical to residential development are also being proposed. As
in the existing condition, storm water will flow from west to east in the post-development
condition. Storm water collection from structures and other onsite hardscape features will
be dispensed into landscaped areas located around proposed buildings and conveyed via
landscaped swales to area drains located in the front yards of the onsite units. Outletting
from the area drains will be 3” PVC underdrain pipes directing water through the curb
face onto Chinquapin Avenue. As in the pre-development condition, water will then
continue east through public facilities until ultimately reaching the Pacific Ocean.
The subject property is approximately 70% impervious in the proposed condition. Based
on the proposed impervious area and land use type, a post-development weighted runoff
coefficient of 0.71 was calculated for the subject property using the methodology
described in section 3.1.2 of the San Diego County Hydrology Manual and the formula
provided therein. The proposed site consists of a single drainage basin designated as
PR-1. Drainage basin PR-1 consists of the entire project property, and as previously
discussed will all drain into the Chinquapin right-of-way.
Within basin PR-1 there are three subbasins based on the points of discharge onto
Chinquapin Avenue by means of sidewalk under drain pipe. These have been delineated
as well to determine peak runoff at each minor point of discharge to size proposed private
drainage infrastructure. These all confluence at the northeast corner of the property along
Chinquapin Avenue and combine for the peak flow generated by the entire property.
Sizing calculations for this infrastructure can be seen in section 3.2.1 of this report. By

virtue of grading pads for construction and the proposed private drainage swales at 1.0%
through the site, the time of concentration in the post-development condition has
increased from the pre-project rate. This promotes incidental infiltration,
evapotranspiration, and serves to mitigate peak runoff leaving the site due to the slight
increase in proposed impervious area.
Using the Rational Method Procedure outlined in the San Diego County Hydrology
Manual, a peak flow rate and time of concentration were calculated for the 100-year, 6-
hour storm event for the onsite drainage basins. Table 2 below summarizes the results of
the Rational Method calculations in the post-developed condition.

drainage basin delineation and discharge locations.
In an effort to comply with the City of Carlsbad storm water standards, the proposed site
has incorporated LID design techniques to optimize the site layout. Runoff from
proposed roofs and new or removed and replaced hardscape areas will be directed to
landscaped areas in an effort to disperse drainage to pervious surfaces. The landscaped
areas will assist to remove sediment and particulate-bound pollutants from storm water.
1.4 Conclusions
Based upon the analysis included in this report, there is a difference of ~0.02 cfs in peak
runoff between the proposed development and the existing condition. Similar to the
existing condition, the project will discharge onto Chinquapin Avenue. Water will not be
diverted away from existing drainage patterns, and the difference in runoff can be
considered negligible and will not have any adverse effect on the downstream watershed.
The proposed project will be exempt from hydromodification compliance requirements as
it does not qualify as a Priority Development Project as defined in the Regional
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the Carlsbad BMP Design
Manual. An additional detention analysis was not performed at this time as it was
determined that the project increases runoff in the proposed condition from the pre-
project condition.

2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Introduction
The hydrologic model used to perform the hydrologic analysis presented in this report
utilizes the Rational Method (RM) equation, Q=CIA. The RM formula estimates the
peak rate of runoff based on the variables of area, runoff coefficient, and rainfall
intensity. The rainfall intensity (I) is equal to:
I = 7.44 x P6 x D-0.645
Where:
I = Intensity (in/hr)
P6 = 6-hour precipitation (inches)
D = duration (minutes – use Tc)
Using the Time of Concentration (Tc), which is the time required for a given element of
water that originates at the most remote point of the basin being analyzed to reach the
point at which the runoff from the basin is being analyzed. The RM equation determines
the storm water runoff rate (Q) for a given basin in terms of flow (typically in cubic feet
per second (cfs) but sometimes as gallons per minute (gpm)). The RM equation is as
follows:
Q = CIA
Where:
Q = flow (in cfs)
C = runoff coefficient, ratio of rainfall that produces storm water
runoff (runoff vs. infiltration/evaporation/absorption/etc)
I = average rainfall intensity for a duration equal to the Tc for the
area, in inches per hour.
A = drainage area contributing to the basin in acres.
The RM equation assumes that the storm event being analyzed delivers precipitation to
the entire basin uniformly, and therefore the peak discharge rate will occur when a
raindrop that falls at the most remote portion of the basin arrives at the point of analysis.
The RM also assumes that the fraction of rainfall that becomes runoff or the runoff
coefficient C is not affected by the storm intensity, I, or the precipitation zone number.

2.2 County of San Diego Criteria
As defined by the County Hydrology Manual dated June 2003, the rational method is the
preferred equation for determining the hydrologic characteristics of basins up to
approximately one square mile in size. The County of San Diego has developed its own
tables, nomographs, and methodologies for analyzing storm water runoff for areas within
the county. The County has also developed precipitation isopluvial contour maps that
show even lines of rainfall anticipated from a given storm event (i.e. 100-year, 6-hour
storm).
One of the variables of the RM equation is the runoff coefficient, C. The runoff
coefficient is dependent only upon land use and soil type and the County of San Diego
has developed a table of Runoff Coefficients for Urban Areas to be applied to basin
located within the County of San Diego. The table categorizes the land use, the
associated development density (dwelling units per acre) and the percentage of
impervious area. Each of the categories listed has an associated runoff coefficient, C, for
each soil type class.
The County has also illustrated in detail the methodology for determining the time of
concentration, in particular the initial time of concentration. The County has adopted the
Federal Aviation Agency’s (FAA) overland time of flow equation. This equation
essentially limits the flow path length for the initial time of concentration to lengths under
100 feet, and is dependent on land use and slope. The time of concentration minimum is
5 minutes for purposes of calculating rainfall intensity per the County of San Diego
Hydrology Manual requirements.
2.3 Runoff Coefficient Determination
As stated in section 2.2, the runoff coefficient is dependent only upon land use and soil
type and the County of San Diego has developed a table of Runoff Coefficients for Urban
Areas to be applied to basin located within the County of San Diego. The table, included
in the Appendix of this report, categorizes the land use, the associated development
density (dwelling units per acre) and the percentage of impervious area.
For this study, a weighted runoff coefficient was used for both the pre-project and post-
developed site in accordance with the equation provided in Section 3.1.2 of the County of
San Diego Hydrology Manual. The weighted runoff coefficient is a function of the total
impervious and pervious surface areas in the existing and proposed conditions.

Note that the Initial Time of Concentration should be reflective of the general land-use at the
upstream end of a drainage basin. A single lot with an area of two or less acres does not have
a significant effect where the drainage basin area is 20 to 600 acres.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
