Subject: Permanent BMP As-built Verification Report
Harding Veterans Housing Project
Drawing No. 523-4A
Summary:
This project includes the construction of seven biolfiltration basins designed in
accordance with the City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual. As shown on sheets 3 and
4 of the approved grading plans, Drawing No. 523-4A, the required treatment areas
are:
BMP 1 107 SF
BMP 2 84 SF
BMP 3 107 SF
BMP 4 71 SF
BMP 5 31 SF
BMP 6 75 SF
BMP 7 15 SF
Details for the biofiltration basin are shown on sheet 4 of the grading plans. Additional
information can be found in the project’s approved Storm Water Quality Management
Plan (SWQMP) prepared by Chang Consultants, dated June 5, 2020.
Site Visits:
Onsite reviews of the construction of the basins occurred on the following dates;
4/20/22
6/15/22
The purpose of the site visits was to document the construction of the basins and to
ensure compliance with the approved grading plans and SWQMP.
Additional Observations:
The basins were constructed in substantial conformance with the plans. The depths
of the aggregate and engineered fill placed in the basin is consistent with what is

required per the approved plans. The ponding and freeboard depths are also
consistent with the approved plans. Slight modifications were made in the field to
the shapes of the basins due to conflicts with the building footings. In all cases the
minimum treatment area provided is as shown in the BMP Treatment Area Table on
sheet 4 of the approved grading plans.
Additional Information:
1. The impermeable liner was installed over the entire bottom and sides of the
basin as per plan.
2. Landscaping appears to be consistent with landscape plans in the approved
grading permit plan set. The amount of pervious and impervious areas within
the project limits is consistent with the approved plans. See the attached letter
from form/work Landscape Architecture.
3. The contractor provided written confirmation that they constructed the
basins in substantial conformance to the plans. See the attached letter from HA
Builder.
Conclusion:
Based on the above information, KLE believes all BMPs have been constructed in
substantial conformance with the project’s approved grading plans, SWQMP, and the
City’s BMP Design Manual.
