STORM WATER STANDARDS
QUESTIONNAIRE E-34
INSTRUCTIONS:
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 Proposed Site Development and Drainage Patterns Project Description / Proposed Land Use and/or Activities: The project proposes the construction of three side-by-side modular buildings, including two classrooms and a sensory room, on a level graded pad. Adjacent to the new elementary school aged classrooms is proposed hardscape and playground, shade structure, as well as a smaller turf field
play area to the north of the buildings. The developed impervious areas will mostly drain to a single biofiltration basin BMP at the south edge of the project site, which has a discharge pipe that extends north to the existing inlet currently draining the field. The proposed project’s drainage infrastructure
will not significantly alter the existing site’s drainage patterns. The said biofiltration basin BMP will be sized for water quality treatment, as well as mitigation of the 100-year storm event peak runoff.
List/describe proposed impervious features of the project (e.g., buildings, roadways, parking lots, courtyards, athletic courts, other impervious features):
The proposed project will include the construction of three new modular buildings, hardscape surrounding the proposed buildings, shade structure within said hardscape, and playground surface.
List/describe proposed pervious features of the project (e.g., landscape areas):
Pervious features of the site in this phase include the biofiltration basin area for pollutant control/detention described in this report, and turf field area to the north of the buildings, and decomposed granite maintenance path to the east of the buildings.
Does the project include grading and changes to site topography?
Yes
No Description / Additional Information: The project will include precise grading for placement of the new building and hardscape on
site, including two accessible access ramps from the existing school site, along with associated landscape, and underground utilities throughout.
STORM WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN FEBRUARY 2022
NORTH COUNTY ACADEMY

Does the project include changes to site drainage (e.g., installation of new storm water conveyance systems)?
Yes
No Description / Additional Information:
Associated project storm water conveyance will be installed onsite through the use of catch basins, underground piping, and biofiltration basin for water quality and peak flow mitigation as required by the City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual, San Diego Region, dated September 2021. Storm water runoff from the developed project site is routed to the existing inlet at the northwest corner of the project site.
Prior to discharging from the project site, storm water is routed through a proposed biofiltration basin BMP-1. The BMP-1 is responsible for handling storm water quality and 100-year storm event peak flow mitigation. Site runoff from a portion of the site’s south access ramp, and the
site’s north access ramp landing is unable to flow to the receiving biofiltration basin and are considered de-minimus.
A portion of landscape area between the proposed westerly retaining wall and the existing parking lot adjacent sidewalk and area between the top of BMP-1 to daylight is unable to drain to the proposed biofiltration basin, slope on the south side of BMP-1, and daylight slopes adjacent to the North hardscape are all considered to be self-mitigating areas per Chapter 5 Section 5.2.1 of the BMP Design Manual. Disturbed slopes will be amended and/or aerated and planted with native or drought tolerant landscaping to promote water retention.

SUMMARY OF PDP STRUCTURAL BMPS
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 City 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 City 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 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 together or separate.
The types of structural BMPs chosen for the project were based on the flow chart presented in Figures 5-1 and 5-2 of the City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual. Using Form I-7 (Worksheet B.3-1) to gauge the feasibility of implementing capture and use techniques for the project site, it
was determined that harvest and use BMPs are considered infeasible. A feasibility study was then conducted for infiltration and if infiltration is fully or partially feasible for the project's structural BMPs. The negative impacts associated with infiltration were identified and substantiated through the completion of Form I-8. Please refer to Attachment 1d.
Based on site geologic conditions, it has been determined that full or partial infiltration of storm water is considered infeasible. Since infiltration is considered infeasible, biofiltration (BF-1) was selected as type of structural BMP for the DMA. Biofiltration was selected for treatment control for the project site and integrated as storm water flow control (detention facility) by including outlet control at the downstream outlet of the facilities. With infiltration infeasible at the BMP location, the facility will be lined for surface waters to discharge via underdrain or overflow to the downstream conveyance system.

(Continued from previous page) The biofiltration basin for this project has been integrated into the drainage design to meet pollutant control requirements for the site. The proposed building roof area and hardscape associated with the project drain to the proposed biofiltration basin using roof drain downspouts and piping, which allow runoff to flow directly into the biofiltration basin for water quality treatment. Rip rap energy dissipaters will be located at points where concentrated flow enters the biofiltration basin from pipe outfalls to minimize erosion from occurring. The biofiltration system is designed to allow ponding to occur. In developed conditions, the
basin will have a total ponding depth of 7 inches and an internal outlet structure. Flow will infiltrate through amended soil and low flow orifice or discharge through the outlet structure. The riser structure will act as a spillway such that peak flows can be safely discharged to the
receiving storm drain system.
The basin is comprised of a 3-inch layer of mulch, a 24-inch layer of amended soil (a highly
sandy, organic rich composite with an infiltration capacity of at least 5 inches/hr) and a 24-inch reservoir layer of gravel. An underdrain pipe with low flow orifice will be provided at the bottom of the basin to carry away filtered runoff to the receiving storm drain system. The underdrain pipe will be located 3 inches above the gravel layer invert. The bottom of the basin will be lined with an impermeable liner to prevent storm water infiltration. A riser structure will be constructed within the BMP with an emergency overflow weir, such that peak flows can be safely discharged to the private storm drain system. The biofiltration basin area will be landscaped with a combination of ground covers, shrubs and/or trees as selected by the project’s landscape architect. The biofiltration basin will provide water quality treatment for the DCV and mitigation of the 100-year storm event peak flow rate.

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

Provide basis: The infiltration rate of the existing soils for locations P-1 and P-2, based on the on-site
infiltration study was calculated to be 0.01 inches per hour, after applying a factor of safety
(FS) of FS=3.375.
Infiltration rates equal to or less than 0.01 inches per hour indicate that the soil and geologic conditions do not allow for infiltration in any appreciable rate or volume.
Summarize findings of studies; provide reference to studies, calculations, maps, data sources, etc. Provide narrative
discussion of study/data source applicability and why it was not feasible to mitigate low infiltration rates.
C2.1 A geologic investigation was performed at the subject site.C2.2 Settlement and volume change due to stormwater infiltration is not a concern with: (i) low expansive soils,(ii) no potential for liquefaction, and (iii) no potential for hydro collapse. C2.3 Infiltration has the potential to cause slope failures. BMPs are to be sited a minimum of 50 feet away from any slope.C2.4 Infiltration can potentially damage subsurface and underground utilities. As planned, BMPs are not located within 10 feet of underground utilities.C2.5 Stormwater infiltration can result in damaging ground water mounding during wet periods. Mounding is not considerd to be a hazard of infiltration at this site due to the depth of groundwater. C2.6 BMPs are not anticipated to be located near foundations or retaining walls. Infiltration has the potential to increase lateral pressure and reduce soil strength which can impact foundations and retaining walls.C2.7 Other Factors: NOVA is not aware of all subsurface conditions on nearby sites and cannot address the potential effects of added saturation to geotechnical hazards like saturation, heave, settlement or hydrocollapse, liquefaction, etc. Accordingly, NOVA recommends potential for lateral migration of water from stormwater BMP’s be limited by siting any such structures away from property lines.

BF-1 Biofiltration
Design Adaptations for Project Goals
Biofiltration Treatment BMP for storm water pollutant control. The system is lined or un-lined
to provide incidental infiltration, and an underdrain is provided at the bottom to carry away filtered
runoff. This configuration is considered to provide biofiltration treatment via flow through the media
layer. Storage provided above the underdrain within surface ponding, media, and aggregate storage is
considered included in the biofiltration treatment volume. Saturated storage within the aggregate
storage layer can be added to this design by raising the underdrain above the bottom of the aggregate
storage layer or via an internal weir structure designed to maintain a specific water level elevation.
Integrated storm water flow control and pollutant control configuration. The system can be
designed to provide flow rate and duration control by primarily providing increased surface ponding
and/ or having a deeper aggregate storage layer above the underdrain. This will allow for significant
detention storage, which can be controlled via inclusion of an outlet structure at the downstream end
of the underdrain.

Placement observes geotechnical
recommendations regarding potential hazards
(e.g., slope stability, landslides, liquefaction
zones) and setbacks (e.g., slopes, foundations,

E-110
Intent/Rationale
Must not negatively impact existing site
geotechnical concerns.
Lining prevents storm water from
impacting groundwater and/ or sensitive
environmental or geotechnical features.
Incidental infiltration, when allowable,
can aid in pollutant removal and
groundwater recharge.
Bigger BMPs require additional design
features for proper performance.
Contributing tributary area greater than 5
acres may be allowed at the discretion of
the City Engineer if the following
conditions are met: 1) incorporate design
features (e.g. flow spreaders) to
minimizing short circuiting of flows in
the BMP and 2) incorporate additional

Deep surface ponding raises safety
concerns.
Surface ponding depth greater than
12 inches (for additional pollutant
control or surface outlet structures

Engineer if the following conditions
are met: 1) surface ponding depth
drawdown time is less than 24
hours; and 2) safety issues and
fencing requirements are
considered (typically ponding
greater than 18" will require a fence
and/ or flatter side slopes) and 3)
potential for elevated clogging risk
is considered.
Gentler side slopes are safer, less
prone to erosion, able to establish
vegetation more quickly and easier
to maintain.

Seasonal irrigation might be needed to
keep plants healthy.
Sept.2021
Design Criteria
□
A minimum of 3 inches of well-aged, shredded
hardwood mulch that has been stockpiled or
stored for at least 12 months is provided.
Media Layer
□
□
□
Media maintains a minimum filtration rate of 5
in/hr over lifetime of facility. An initial
filtration rate of 8 to 12 in/hr is recommended
to allow for clogging over time; the initial
filtration rate should not exceed 12 inches per
hour.
Media is a minimum 18 inches deep, meeting
either of these two media specifications:
Section F.3 Bioretention Soil Media (BSl\1) or
specific jurisdictional guidance.
Alternatively, for proprietary designs and
custom media mixes not meeting the media
specifications, the media meets the pollutant
treatment performance criteria in Section F.1.
Media surface area is 3% of contributing area
times adjusted runoff factor or greater. Unless
demonstrated that the BMP surface area can
be smaller than 3%.
E-113
BF-1 Biofiltration
Intent/Rationale
Mulch will suppress weeds and maintain
moisture for plant growth. Aging mulch
kills pathogens and weed seeds and
allows the beneficial microbes to
multiply.
A filtration rate of at least 5 inches per
hour allows soil to drain between events.
The initial rate should be higher than
long term target rate to account for
clogging over time. However an
excessively high initial rate can have a
negative impact on treatment
performance, therefore an upper limit is
needed.
A deep media layer provides additional
filtration and supports plants with deeper
roots.
Standard specifications shall be followed.
For non-standard or proprietary designs,
compliance with F.1 ensures that
adequate treatment performance will be
provided.
Greater surface area to tributary area
ratios: a) maximizes volume retention as
required by the MS4 Permit and b)
decrease loading rates per square foot
and therefore increase longevity.
Adjusted runoff factor is to account for
site design BMPs implemented upstream
of the BMP ( such as rain barrels,
impervious area dispersion, etc.). Refer
to Appendix B.1 guidance.

Inflow velocities are limited to 3 ft/ s or less or
use energy dissipation methods. (e.g., riprap,
level spreader) for concentrated inflows.

Intent/Rationale
Potential for pollutant export is partly a
function of media composition; media
design must minimize potential for
export of nutrients, particularly where
receiving waters are impaired for
nutrients.
Migration of media can cause clogging of
the aggregate storage layer void spaces or
subgrade. Filter fabric is more likely to
clog.
Washing aggregate will help eliminate
fines that could clog the facility and
impede infiltration.
Gradation relationship between layers
can evaluate factors (e.g., bridging,
permeability, and uniformity) to
determine if particle sizing is appropriate
or if an intermediate layer is needed.
Washing aggregate will help eliminate
fines that could clog the aggregate
storage layer void spaces or subgrade.
Proper storage layer configuration and
underdrain placement will minimize
facility drawdown time.
Maintenance will prevent clogging and
ensure proper operation of the flow
control structures.
High inflow velocities can cause erosion,
scour and/ or channeling.

Curb cut inlets are at least 12 inches wide, have
a 4-6 inch reveal (drop) and an apron and
energy dissipation as needed.
Underdrain outlet elevation should be a
minimum of 3 inches above the bottom
elevation of the aggregate storage layer.
Minimum underdrain diameter is 6 inches.
Underdrains are made of slotted, PVC pipe
conforming to ASTM D 3034 or equivalent or
corrugated, HDPE pipe conforming to
AASHTO 252M or equivalent.
An underdrain cleanout with a minimum 6-
inch diameter and lockable cap is placed every
250 to 300 feet as required based on
underdrain length.
Overflow is safely conveyed to a downstream
storm drain system or discharge point Size
overflow structure to pass 100-year peak flow
for on-line infiltration basins and water quality
peak flow for off-line basins.
Inlets must not restrict flow and apron
prevents blockage from vegetation as it
grows in. Energy dissipation prevents
erosion.
A minimal separation from subgrade or
the liner lessens the risk of fines entering
the underdrain and can improve
hydraulic performance by allowing
perforations to remain unblocked.
Smaller diameter underdrains are prone
to clogging.
Slotted underdrains provide greater
intake capacity, clog resistant drainage,
and reduced entrance velocity into the
pipe, thereby reducing the chances of
solids migration.
Properly spaced cleanouts will facilitate
underdrain maintenance.
Planning for overflow lessens the risk of
property damage due to flooding.
Conceptual Design and Sizing Approach for Storm Water Pollutant Control Only
To design bioretention with underdrain for storm water pollutant control only (no flow control
required), the following steps should be taken:
1. Verify that siting and design criteria have been met, including placement requirements,
contributing tributary area, maximum side and finish grade slopes, and the recommended
media surface area tributary ratio.
2. Calculate the DCV per Appendix B based on expected site design runoff for tributary areas.
3. Use the sizing worksheet presented in Appendix B.3 to size biofiltration BMPs.
E-115 Sept.2021
BF-1 Biofiltration
Conceptual Design and Sizing Approach when Storm Water Flow Control is Applicable
Control of flow rates and/ or durations will typically require significant surface ponding and/ or
aggregate storage volumes, and therefore the following steps should be taken prior to determination
of storm water pollutant control design. Pre-development and allowable post-project flow rates and
durations should be determined as discussed in Chapter 6 of the manual.
1. Verify that siting and design criteria have been met, including placement requirements,
contributing tributary area, maximum side and finish grade slopes, and the recommended
media surface area tributary ratio.
2. Iteratively determine the facility footprint area, surface ponding and/ or aggregate storage layer
depth required to provide detention storage to reduce flow rates and durations to allowable
limits. Flow rates and durations can be controlled from detention storage by altering outlet
structure orifice size(s) and/ or water control levels. Multi-level orifices can be used within an
outlet structure to control the full range of flows.
3. If bioretention with underdrain cannot fully provide the flow rate and duration control
required by this manual, an upstream or downstream structure with significant storage volume
such as an underground vault can be used to provide remaining controls.
4. After bioretention with underdrain has been designed to meet flow control requirements,
calculations must be completed to verify if storm water pollutant control requirements to treat
the DCV have been met.
Maintenance Overview
Normal Expected Maintenance. Biofiltration requires routine maintenance to: remove
accumulated materials such as sediment, trash or debris; maintain vegetation health; maintain
infiltration capacity of the media layer; replenish mulch; and maintain integrity of side slopes, inlets,
energy dissipators, and outlets. A summary table of standard inspection and maintenance indicators is
provided within this Fact Sheet.
Non-Standard Maintenance or BMP Failure. If any of the following scenarios are observed, the
BMP is not performing as intended to protect downstream waterways from pollution and/ or erosion.
Corrective maintenance, increased inspection and maintenance, BMP replacement, or a different BMP
type will be required.
• The BMP is not drained between storm events. Surface ponding longer than approximately
24 hours following a storm event may be detrimental to vegetation health, and surface ponding
longer than approximately 96 hours following a storm event poses a risk of vector (mosquito)
breeding. Poor drainage can result from clogging of the media layer, filter course, aggregate
storage layer, underdrain, or outlet structure. The specific cause of the drainage issue must be
determined and corrected.
• Sediment, trash, or debris accumulation greater than 25% of the surface ponding volume
within one month. This means the load from the tributary drainage area is too high, reducing

BMP function or clogging the BMP. This would require pretreatment measures within the
tributary area draining to the BMP to intercept the materials. Pretreatment components,
especially for sediment, will extend the life of components that are more expensive to replace
such as media, filter course, and aggregate layers.
• Erosion due to concentrated storm water runoff flow that is not readily corrected by adding
erosion control blankets, adding stone at flow entry points, or minor re-grading to restore
proper drainage according to the original plan. If the issue is not corrected by restoring the
BMP to the original plan and grade, the City Engineer shall be contacted prior to any additional
repairs or reconstruction.
Other Special Considerations. Biofiltration is a vegetated structural BMP. Vegetated structural
BMPs that are constructed in the vicinity of, or connected to, an existing jurisdictional water or
wetland could inadvertently result in creation of expanded waters or wetlands. As such, vegetated
structural BMPs have the potential to come under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Corps
of Engineers, SDRWQCB, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service. This could result in the need for specific resource agency permits and costly
mitigation to perform maintenance of the structural BMP. Along with proper placement of a structural
BMP, routine maintenance is key to preventing this scenario.

BF-1 Biofiltration Summary of Standard Inspection and Maintenance The property owner is responsible to ensure inspection, operation and maintenance of permanent BMPs on their property unless responsibility has been formally transferred to an agency, community facilities district, homeowners association, property owners association, or other special district. Maintenance frequencies listed in this table are average/ typical frequencies. Actual maintenance needs are site-specific, and maintenance may be required more frequently. Maintenance must be performed whenever needed, based on maintenance indicators presented in this table. The BMP owner is responsible for conducting regular inspections to see when maintenance is needed based on the maintenance indicators. During the first year of operation of a structural BMP, inspection is recommended at least once prior to August 31 and then monthly from September through May. Inspection during a storm event is also recommended. After the initial period of frequent inspections, the minimum inspection and maintenance frequency can be determined based on the results of the first year inspections. rfhreshold/ilndicator Maintenance Action Accumulation of sediment, litter, or debris Remove and properly dispose of • Inspect monthly.

chemical properties of the soil. Sand can be used as an amendment to improve the drainage rates of
amended soils. Native soil samples may need to be analyzed by a lab to determine the specific soil
amendments needed to achieve the desired infiltration, retention, and/ or filtration rates.
Amending soil per these guidelines is not the same as preservation of naturally occurring topsoil and
vegetation. However, amending soil will improve on-site management of storm water flow and water
quality.
Design Criteria and Considerations
Soil amendments must meet the following design criteria and considerations. Deviations from the
below criteria may be approved at the discretion of the City Engineer if appropriate:

When mulch is used as an amendment, it is
applied at grade over all planting areas to a
depth of 3".
When shavings or compost is used as an
amendment, it is rototilled into the native soil
to a minimum depth of 6" (12 inches
preferred).
Compost meets the criteria in Appendix F
Soil amendments are free of stones, stumps,
roots, glass, plastic, metal, and other deleterious
materials.
Mixing of soils are done prior to planting
Care is taken around existing trees and shrubs
to prevent root damage during construction
and soil amendment application.
Soil amendments are applied at the end of
construction
Soil amendments are compatible with planned
vegetation
E-43
Intent/Rationale
Mulch should be applied on top and not
mixed into underlying soils
If soil is not completely mixed the overall
benefit will be reduced.
If poor quality compost is used, it will
have negative impact to water quality.
Large debris in amended soils can cause
localized eros10n. Trash/harmful
materials can result in personal injury or
contamination.
Soil mixing before planting results in a
more homogeneous mixing and will
reduce the stress on plants.
Preservation of existing established
vegetation is an important part of site
design and erosion control.
Soil amendments applied too soon in the
construction process may become over
compacted reducing effectiveness.
The soil amendments impact the pH and
salinity of the soil. Some plants have
sensitive pH and/ or salinity tolerance
ranges.

SD-F Amended Soils
Conceptual Design and Sizing Approach for Site Design
• When soil amendments are used a runoff factor of 0.1 can be used for DCV calculation for
the amended area.
• Amended soils should be used as part of SD-A Tree Well and SD-B Impervious Area
Dispersion, and to increase the retention volume in other BMPs.
Maintenance
Annual maintenance may be required to determine reapplication requirements of amended soils.
Amended soils should be regularly inspected for signs of compaction, waterlogging, and unhealthy
vegetation.
