Subject: Report
Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility
Hope Elementary School Modernization
3010 Tamarack Avenue, Carlsbad, California
Dear Mr. Anderson,
The intent of this report is to address the design phase infiltration conditions and related
feasibility for permanent stormwater Best Management Practices (‘stormwater BMPs’) for
drainage management areas (DMAs) at the above-referenced site. The report is provided in
response to permit requirements of the City of Carlsbad Land Development Engineering
Department requesting results of a design-phase infiltration analysis. Additional work was
completed by NOVA to adequately address these requirements.
This design-phase infiltration evaluation has been in accordance with guidance contained in the
City of Carlsbad BMP Design Manual, February 2016 edition (hereinafter, ‘the BMP Manual’).
This report has been prepared by NOVA Services, Inc. (NOVA) for Carlsbad Unified School
District. NOVA is retained by Carlsbad Unified School District as Geotechnical Engineer-of-
Record (GEOR) for this project.
OVERVIEW
General
The Hope Elementary School Modernization project is currently in the construction/design
phase of development. Geotechnical analysis for this project is reported in NOVA 2019. This
report presents NOVA’s design-phase infiltration feasibility assessment, which includes
additional testing to address the proposed BMP locations as they are currently planned.
Feasibility of Stormwater BMPs
As is well-established by the BMP Manual, the feasibility of stormwater infiltration is principally
dependent on structural, geotechnical, and hydrogeologic conditions at the project site.
Development of permanent stormwater infiltration BMPs is feasible at this site, assuming a
“partial” infiltration condition, as determined by field testing of infiltration rates. Infiltration rates
presented herein may be used in the BMP sizing calculations, so long as care is taken in the
2
Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility Hope Elementary School Modernization, Carlsbad, CA NOVA Project No. 2019157 October 1, 2020 placement of future BMPs, such that factors listed in Section C.2 of Appendix C of the BMP
Manual will not adversely impact the future structures.
BACKGROUND
Location
Hope Elementary School is located at 3010 Tamarack Avenue in Carlsbad, California. The
approximately 12.5-acre campus is bounded to the north, west, and south by descending
natural slopes. A residential development is located across Tamarack Avenue to the east.
Figure 1 (following page) depicts the site location and limits.
Current Site Use
The site is currently occupied by Hope Elementary School, consisting of a number of school
buildings, asphalt playgrounds, a parking area, and a grass playfield. The site is currently
undergoing modernization improvements as presented in RP 2019 (see Attachment 1,
References).
Historical Grading and As-Graded Condition
Insight into existing cut and fill conditions may be obtained by review of older civil drawings
associated with development of the groundform that is now occupied by Hope Elementary
School (DDA 1986). Existing cut and fill depths will not be affected appreciably by the
modernization operations.
DDA 1986 indicates that the campus is located atop a large cut-and-fill pad with a finished
elevation of +224.5 feet mean sea level (msl). Pre-grading topography consisted of a ridge with
descending slopes and drainages on the north, south, and west of the site, with elevations that
ranged from +255 feet msl at the top of the hill, near the eastern boundary of the campus,
descending to about +120 feet msl to the bottom of the western drainage. Development
required fills and cuts that ranged to about 30 feet, with the deepest fill being on the
northernmost edge of the playfield.

Subsurface Exploration by NOVA in 2019
Select data from NOVA’s field exploration conducted in 2019 was used in this infiltration
assessment. The previous investigation included subsurface exploration methods with separate
geologic and geotechnical objectives.
• Three (3) large diameter (30-inch) geologic borings (LD-1, LD-2 and LD-3) were drilled
to depths of 40 to 78 feet and down-hole logged on July 26 through July 30, 2019.
• A single geologic core boring (C-1) was drilled on August 8-9, 2019 to a depth of 120
feet. The core boring was drilled through large-diameter boring LD-1 which was initially
advanced to 40 feet bgs and was abandoned without downhole logging due to unstable
and unsafe conditions, i.e. perched irrigation water resulting in the overlying fill caving
into the boring.
• Eleven (11) geotechnical borings ( B-1 through B-11) were drilled on July 23-24, 2019.
Subsurface Geology and Groundwater Conditions
Geologic units encountered by the subsurface investigation included engineered fill (Qaf) and
the underlying sandstones of the Eocene-Age Santiago Formation (Tsa). For the purposes of
this report, the subsurface may be considered to occur as the sequence of soil units described
below.
4
Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility Hope Elementary School Modernization, Carlsbad, CA NOVA Project No. 2019157 October 1, 2020 1. Unit 1, Fill. A layer of fill of varying thickness mantles the site. The fill ranges from
approximately 1 to 30 feet in thickness, where encountered in the geotechnical borings.
The upper 5 feet of fill is comprised of predominantly ‘cleaner’ fine to medium grained
sands (i.e., sands with limited amounts of silt and clay -sized particles) of medium dense
to dense consistency. In areas of fills thicker than 5 feet, the lower portions of the fill
encountered was found to be clayey, ranging from clayey sands to low plasticity clays.
Though the fill is known to be engineered, NOVA has not been able to locate the grading
reports that document grading of the site. Most of the fill appears to have been derived
by processing sandstones from the Santiago Formation.
2. Unit 2, Santiago Formation. Beneath the fill, the borings encountered sandstones of the
Tertiary-aged Santiago Formation (Tsa). These formational sedimentary rocks were
observed to consist of white to light gray silty sandstone of dense to very dense
consistency. The sandstone extends to below the depths explored in the borings. The
dense consistency of the sandstones is characterized by SPT blow counts (‘N’, after
ASTM D 1586), commonly in excess of practical refusal of the sampling device at N >
100. Unconfined compression testing of this unit showed strengths ranging from 50
pounds per square inch (psi) to 490 psi. The hollow stem auger drilling tools were
refused on two (2) borings.
Groundwater seepage was encountered in the geologic borings at depths of 60 to 78 feet below
existing ground surface. No seepage was observed at the surface of the underlying natural
slopes at or below this elevation during the site reconnaissance. Groundwater will not affect the
planned construction.
PROPOSED BMPS
Locations of prospective BMPs were determined by coordination with the project civil engineer
(FPL and Associates, Inc.). Locations for testing were analyzed across the entirety of the site
with specific consideration of avoiding areas adjacent to steep slopes, existing structures and
foundations, existing utilities, and areas with variable fill conditions. As may be seen on Figure 2 (following page), three areas were selected for design phase testing.
The northernmost area is in the playfield, and underlain by approximately 25 feet of fill. The
southern areas were chosen because the infiltration surface will be within the Santiago
Formation, and the areas are sufficiently set back from existing structures and steep slopes.

PERCOLATION TESTING BY NOVA
General
NOVA conducted six (6) borehole percolation tests (‘P-1’ through ‘P-6’) in the design stages of planning for the site’s development on September 22 to September 23, 2020. The percolation testing was conducted within 50 feet of the planned BMP structures in accordance with the BMP manual.
All testing was completed in accordance with procedures detailed in the referenced City of
Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (Carlsbad 2016). The design phase percolation test borings (‘P-
1’ through ‘P-6’) were drilled to the elevation of the bottom of the proposed BMP structures. The
geologist directed sampling and maintained a log of the subsurface materials that were
encountered. A record of these logs is provided in Attachment 2.
For the exploratory borings required in east BMP location, NOVA utilized explorations from the
2019 investigation (‘LD-1/C-1’, ‘B-9’ and ‘LD 2’) as these were excavated near the planned BMP
structures, and were advanced to at least 10 feet below the bottom of BMP elevation. The
purpose of the exploratory borings in a BMP investigation is to evaluate the stratigraphy of the
soils underlying the proposed BMP that may affect infiltration.
Figure 3 (following page) depicts the tested locations. Plate 1, provided following the text of this
report, reproduces this graphic in larger scale.

Drilling
The percolation test borings were drilled with an 8-inch solid stem auger to depths of 7.5 feet
bgs (below ground surface). Field measurements were taken to confirm that the borings were
excavated to approximately 8 inches in diameter.
The borings were logged by a NOVA geologist, who observed and recorded exposed soil
cuttings and the boring conditions. Logs of these borings are attached to this report. Exploratory
borings excavated by NOVA in 2019 were used in conjunction with NOVA’s field evaluation to
determine subsurface conditions at the site and near the proposed BMP. Figure 4 (following
page) depicts the drilling operations directed by NOVA on September 22, 2020.

Figure 4. Drilling Operations September 2020
Conversion to Percolation Wells
Once the percolation test borings were drilled to the desired depths, the borings were converted
to percolation test wells by placing an approximately 2-inch layer of ¾-inch gravel on the
bottoms, then extending 3-inch diameter Schedule 40 perforated PVC pipe to the ground
surface. The ¾-inch gravel was used to partially fill the annular space around the perforated
pipe below the existing finish grade to minimize the potential of soil caving.
Percolation Testing
The percolation test wells were pre-soaked by filling the holes with water to at least 5 times the
well radius. The pre-soak water did not percolate at least 6 inches into the soil unit within 25
minutes; therefore, the holes were filled with water to the ground surface elevation and testing
commenced the following day, within a 26-hour window.
The day of the test, water levels were then recorded every 30 minutes for 6 hours (minimum of
12 readings), or until the water percolation stabilized after each reading. At the beginning of
each test interval, the water level was raised to approximately the same level as previous tests
8
Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility Hope Elementary School Modernization, Carlsbad, CA NOVA Project No. 2019157 October 1, 2020 in order to maintain a near-constant head during all test periods. Figure 5 depicts the
percolation well construction directed by NOVA on September 22, 2020.
Figure 5. Percolation Well Construction September 2020
Closure
At the conclusion of the percolation testing, the PVC pipe was removed and the resulting hole
was backfilled with soil cuttings and patched to match the existing surfacing.
Infiltration Rates
The percolation rate of a soil profile is not the same as its infiltration rate (‘I’). Therefore, the field
percolation rate was converted to an estimated infiltration rate utilizing the Porchet Method in
accordance with guidance contained in the BMP Manual.
Table 1 (following page) provides a summary of the infiltration rates determined by the
percolation testing.

Notes: (*) ‘FS’ indicates ‘Factor of Safety’
As may be seen by review of Table 1, a factor of safety (FS) is applied to the infiltration rate (I)
determined by the percolation testing. This factor of safety considers the nature and variability of
subsurface materials, as well as the natural tendency of infiltration structures to become less
efficient with time. In coordination with the design engineer, Form I-9 was completed after
guidance contained in the BMP Manual, and resulted in FS = 2.
According to Carlsbad 2016, infiltration rates less than 0.5 inches per hour, in which there are
no geotechnical constraints to infiltration, imply that the soil and geologic conditions may allow
for ‘partial’ infiltration.
REVIEW OF GEOTECHNICAL FEASIBILITY CRITERIA
Overview
General
Section C.2 of Appendix C of the BMP Manual provides seven factors that should be considered
by the project geotechnical professional while assessing the feasibility of infiltration related to
geotechnical conditions. These factors are listed below.
• C.2.1.1 Soil and Geologic Conditions
• C.2.1.2 Settlement and Volume Change
• C.2.1.3 Slope Stability
• C.2.1.4 Utility Considerations
• C.2.1.5 Groundwater Mounding
• C.2.1.6 Retaining Walls and Foundations
• C.2.1.7 Other Factors
10
Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility Hope Elementary School Modernization, Carlsbad, CA NOVA Project No. 2019157 October 1, 2020 The above geotechnical feasibility criteria are reviewed in the following subsections.
Soil and Geologic Conditions
The soil borings and percolation test borings completed for this assessment disclose the
sequence of soil units below.
1. Unit 1, Fill. Tests P-1 and P-2 were conducted in an area with approximately 25 feet of
fill, thus the infiltration surface for the BMP would be in fill. The upper 15 feet of fill is
comprised of lifts of light gray silty sand, sandy silt and clayey sand derived of the
Santiago Formation, of medium dense to dense consistency. Below 15 feet the fill
encountered was found to be clayey, ranging from clayey sands to low plasticity clays.
2. Unit 2, Santiago Formation. Tests P-3 through P-6 tested areas where the infiltration
surface will be within the Santiago Formation. These formational sedimentary rocks were
observed to consist of white to light gray silty sandstone of medium dense to very dense
consistency. The sandstone extends to below the depths explored in the borings.
During the geological and geotechnical investigation, the dense consistency of the
sandstones was characterized by SPT blow counts (‘N’, after ASTM D 1586), commonly
in excess of practical refusal of the sampling device at N > 100.
Settlement and Volume Change
Settlement and volume change due to stormwater infiltration is not a concern with: (i) BMPs sited well-away from any structures, (ii) no potential for liquefaction, and (iii) no potential for
hydro collapse.
Slope Stability
BMPs located near slopes should be lined with impermeable liners along the sides of the facility.
Based on the limited height of the slope, combined with the BMP liner, it is NOVA’s judgement
that the BMP will not undermine the slope.
Utilities
Stormwater infiltration BMPs should not be sited within 10 feet of underground utilities. As
currently designed, BMPs are not located within 10 feet of underground utilities, that NOVA is
aware of.
Groundwater Mounding
Groundwater seepage was encountered in the geologic borings at depths of 60 to 78 feet below
existing ground surface. Due to the depth of groundwater, mounding is not considered to be a
hazard of infiltration at this site.
11
Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility Hope Elementary School Modernization, Carlsbad, CA NOVA Project No. 2019157 October 1, 2020 Retaining Walls and Foundations
Stormwater infiltration BMPs should not be sited within 10 feet from retaining walls and
foundations. The proposed stormwater infiltration BMPs investigated herein are not sited within
10 feet from retaining walls or foundations.
Other Factors
According to NRCS Web Soil Survey, the mapped hydrologic soil group is Group C and Group
D. Full infiltration is not required for this hydrologic soil group.
Recommendation for ‘Partial Infiltration’
In consideration of the foregoing, and the calculated design infiltration rates, the site is generally
suitable for partial infiltration by stormwater BMPs placed within the constraints cited above;
however, this judgment should be reviewed when the siting of BMPs with respect to proposed
structures, utilities, and other improvements has been finalized by the Civil Engineer.
CLOSURE

Part 2 – Partial Infiltration vs. No Infiltration Feasibility Screening Criteria
Would infiltration of water in any appreciable amount be physically feasible without any negative
consequences that cannot be reasonably mitigated?
Criteria Screening Question Yes No
5
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 Appendix D.
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: The infiltration rate of the existing soils for locations P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4, P-5 and P-6, based on the design phase on-site infiltration study was calculated to be P-1= 0.22, P-2 = 0.16, P-3
= 0.22, P-4=0.10, P-5 = 0.37, and P-6=0.29 inches per hour, after applying a calculated
factor of safety (FS) of FS=2.
Infiltration is considered feasible from a geotechnical perspective.
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.
Provide basis:
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: According to NRCS Web Soil Survey, the mapped hydrologic soil group is Group C and Group D. Full infiltration is not required for this hydrologic soil group.

Briefly describe infiltration test and provide reference to test forms:
Design Phase Borehole percolation tests were utilized for all percolation borings (P-1 through P-6) at the bottom of the prospective infiltration BMP structures accompanied
by exploratory engineering excavations (LD-1/C-1, LD-2, and B-9) to depths of at
least 10 feet below the bottom elevation of the BMP structures. The data is abstracted
and detailed in the Assessment of Design Phase Infiltration Feasibility, Hope
Elementary School Modernization (NOVA 2020). In coordination with the design engineer, a factor of safety of FS = 2 was determined following the guidance in the
BMP Manual.
