DISCUSSION
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the following conceptual hydrology report is to comply with the
requirements of the City of Carlsbad Planning Department, CUP 01-19, to determine the
10-year storm event runoff at the proposed gasoline station and compare it with the
existing runoff generated.
DESCRIPTION:
The existing site consists of a gas station with a 1,750 sf building surrounded by
hardscape and landscaping. The existing site drains via sheet flow across the sidewalks
and driveways to two separate locations. One area drains northwesterly to the cross-
gutter at the intersection of the Jefferson Street and Carol Place. The other area drains
southwesterly toward the intersection of Tamarack Avenue and Jefferson Street. All
drainage in the surrounding public streets is conveyed via surface flow.
The proposed site consists of a 2,900 sf convenience store with a car wash, fueling area
and parking. Based on the Conceptual Grading plan prepared, the proposed site will
eliminate drainage across the sidewalk and out the driveways. Onsite drainage is
collected in a series of gutters which drain into a three separate catch basins. One catch
I basin will be discharge to Jefferson Street, another will discharge to Carol Place, and the
other will drain to Tamarack via a parkway culverts.
I METHODOLOGY:
The Rational Method was used to determine runoff produced by a 10-year storm event as
I described in the County of San Diego Hydrology Manual (1985 with 1993 update).
Maps, tables and standards pertinent to the project site as provided in the Appendix of
this report for reference. The following formula was used in calculating the total
I generated flow:
Q=C*I*A
I Q = flow (cfs)
C = runoff coefficient
I I = precipitation intensity (in of rain/hr)
A = area (acres)
Nodal analysis was used in determining peak flows in both developed and pre-developed
conditions. Advanced Engineering Software (AES) Rational Method Hydrology
Program, Version 1.5A, was used in this study.
The project site is located within soil area "D". For the existing sub-areas, the study
utilized runoff coefficients of C=0.95 on the south half and C=0.70 on the north half to

allow for the differing hardscape areas. The proposed site used "C" values of 0.95 for Al
I
and A3 and value of 0.85 for A2 because there was a portion of landscaping found.
Using the ABS Rational Method Hydrology Program, a nodal analysis was performed on
the existing and proposed systems. The ABS Rational Method Hydrology Program was
I used to determine the time of concentration (Tc) and associated rainfall intensities (I), see
appendix.
I As shown in the accompanying existing and proposed hydrology maps, two common
nodes were analyzed to compare the total site post- and pre-construction runoff. The
* existing site drains via sheet flow in two sub areas. The north half flows to the right-of-
way of Jefferson Street and Carol Place where it is collected by curb and gutter. These
join at a common node at the intersection cross gutter specified as node 300. The
southern half similarly sheet flows to the right of way of Tamarack Avenue and Jefferson
I Street, joining at the common node 103 at the intersection cross gutter. The proposed
hydrology map alters the contributory areas to each node slightly. The north sub-area,
A3, flows to an on-site catch basin and discharges via an underdrain pipe to the public
I right-of-way and node 400. An additional sub-area, Al, collects drainage near the
storefront area. This runoff discharges via a catch basin and underdrain pipe to the public
right-of-way. Sub-area A2 is south of Al. Runoff drains southwesterly to a catch basin
I and transferred out to the public right-of-way through an underdrain pipe. Areas A2 and
A3 were analyzed at the same node 102 to accurately compare the total site existing
versus proposed runoff at the same point.
SUMMARY:
I In summary, the pre-developed runoff is 2.81 cfs and the post-developed runoff is 2.96
cfs. The sub-areas' associated piping and catch basins will need to be sized to their
respective runoff totals in the final Hydrology Report. Included in the Appendix are
I preliminary calculations for flow based sizing of post construction BMP's based on San
Diego County's SUSMP requirements (excerpt included in appendix.) "Fossil Filter"
catch basins are proposed for areas Al, A2, and A3. These will need to treat a maximum
I flow rate of 35 gpm based on a 0.2 in/hr intensity. Per "Fossil Filter's" Hydraulic
Capacity Chart, one linear foot will treat 12 gpm; therefore, 3.91 linear feet of filter will
be necessary. A 24"x24" catch basin will treat 96 gpm.

(9) Post-development runoff from a site shall not contain pollutant loads which cause or
I contribute to an exceedance of receiving water quality objectives or which have not been
reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
I F.1.b. Modify Development Project Approval Processes
Prior to project approval and issuance of local permits, Copermittees shall require each proposed
project to implement measures to ensure that pollutants and runoff from the development will be
I reduced to the maximum extent practicable and will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
receiving water quality objectives. Each Copermittee shall further ensure that all development will be
in compliance with Copermittee storm water ordinances, local permits, all other applicable
I ordinances and requirements, and this Order.
(1) Development Project Requirements
I Each Copermittee shall include development project requirements in local permits to ensure
that pollutant discharges and runoff flows from development are reduced to the maximum
extent practicable and that receiving water quality objectives are not violated throughout the
I life of the project. Such requirements shall, at a minimum:
Require project proponent to implement source control BMPs for all applicable
development projects.
I Require project proponent to implement site design/landscape characteristics where
feasible which maximize infiltration, provide retention, slow runoff, and minimize
impervious land coverage for all development projects.
Require project proponent to implement buffer zones for natural water bodies, where
I feasible. Where buffer zone implementation is infeasible, require project proponent to
implement other buffers such as trees, lighting restrictions, access restrictions, etc.
Require industrial applicants subject to California's statewide General NPDES Permit for
I Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (Except Construction),
(hereinafter General Industrial Permit), to provide evidence of coverage under the
General Industrial Permit.
Require project proponent to ensure its grading or other construction activities meet
I the provisions specified in Section F.2. of this Order.
Require project proponent to provide proof of a mechanism which will ensure ongoing
long-term maintenance of all structural post-construction BMPs.
I (2) Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plans (SUSMPs)
Within 365 days of adoption of this Order, the Copermittees shall collectively develop a
I model Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) to reduce pollutants and
runoff flows from all new development and significant redevelopment projects falling under
the priority project categories or locations listed in section 17.1.b.(2)(a) below. Within 180
days of approval of the model SUSMP in the public process by the SDRWQCB, each I Copermittee shall adopt its own local SUSMP, and amended ordinances consistent with the
approved model SUSMP, and shall submit both (local SUSMP and amended ordinances) to
the SDRWQCB.
I Immediately following adoption of its local SUSMP, each Copermittee shall ensure that all
new development and significant redevelopment projects falling under the priority project
categories or locations listed in F.1.b.(2)(a) below meet SUSMP requirements. The SUSMP I requirements shall apply to all priority projects or phases of priority projects which have not
yet begun grading or construction activities. If a Copermittee determines that lawful prior
approval of a project exists, whereby application of SUSMP requirements to the project is
I infeasible, SUSMP requirements need not apply to the project. Where feasible, the
Copermittees shall utilize the 18 month SUSMP implementation period to ensure that
I

the development will grade on any natural slope that is twenty-five percent or
I
greater.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: All development and redevelopment located
within or directly adjacent to or discharging directly to an environmentally
I sensitive area (where discharges from the development or redevelopment will
enter receiving waters within the environmentally sensitive area), which either
creates 2,500 square feet of impervious surface on a proposed project site or

I
Order No. 2001-01 Page 18 of 52
S:\STORM\SDPERMIT\SdPerm99-01lPermitlSDMUfliPermit 3.doc
February 21, 2001
Be correctly designed so as to remove pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable;
Be implemented close to pollutant sources, when feasible, and prior to
discharging into receiving waters supporting beneficial uses; and
Ensure that post-development runoff does not contain pollutant loads which
cause or contribute to an exceedance of water quality objectives or which have
not been reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
(c) Numeric Sizing Criteria - The SUSMP shall require structural treatment BMPs to be
implemented for all priority development projects. All structural treatment BMPs shall be
located so as to infiltrate, filter, or treat the required runoff volume or flow prior to its
discharge to any receiving waterbody supporting beneficial uses. Structural treatment
BMPs may be shared by multiple new development projects as long as construction of
any shared structural treatment BMPs is completed prior to the use of any new
development project from which the structural treatment BMP will receive runoff.
In addition to meeting the BMP requirements listed in item F.1.b.(2)(b) above, all
structural treatment BMPs for a single priority development project shall collectively be
sized to comply with the following numeric sizing criteria:
Volume
Volume-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate (infiltrate, filter, or treat) either:
The volume of runoff produced from a 24-hour 85th percentile storm
event, as determined from the local historical rainfall record (0.6 inch
approximate average for the San Diego County area);3 or
The volume of runoff produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour rainfall
event, determined as the maximized capture storm water volume for the
area, from the formula recommended in Urban Runoff Quality
Management, WEF Manual of Practice No. 23/ASCE Manual of Practice
No. 87, (1998); or
The volume of annual runoff based on unit basin storage volume, to
achieve 90% or more volume treatment by the method recommended in
California Stormwater Best Manaaement Practices Handbook -
Industrial/Commercial, (1993); or
The volume of runoff, as determined from the local historical rainfall
record, that achieves approximately the same reduction in pollutant loads
and flows as achieved by mitigation of the 85th percentile 24-hour runoff
event;4
MW
1 3 This volume is not a single volume to be applied to all of San Diego County. The size of the 85th percentile storm event is
different for various parts of the County. The Copermittees are encouraged to calculate the 85th percentile storm event for each of
their jurisdictions using local rain data pertinent to their particular jurisdiction (the 0.6 inch standard is a rough average for the
County and should only be used where appropriate rain data is not available). In addition, isopluvial maps contained in the County
I of San Diego Hydrology Manual may be used to extrapolate rainfall data to areas where insufficient data exists in order to
determine the volume of the local 85th percentile storm event in such areas. Where the Copermittees will use isopluvial maps to
determine the 85th percentile storm event in areas lacking rain data, the Copermittees shall describe their method for using
isopluvial maps in the model and local SUSMPs.
I Under this volume criteria, hourly rainfall data may be used to calculate the 85th percentile storm event, where each storm event
is identified by its separation from other storm events by at least six hours of no rain. Where the Copermittees may use hourly
rainfall data to calculate the 85th percentile storm event, the Copermittees shall describe their method for using hourly rainfall data
to calculate the 85thpercentile storm event in the model and local SUSMPs.
I
Order No. 2001-01 Page 19 of 52 February 21, 2001
S:\STORMSDPERMIT\Sdperm99-01PermitSDMuniPermit 3.doc
Flow
Flow-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate (infiltrate, filter, or treat) either:
i. The maximum flow rate of runoff produced from a rainfall intensity of 0.2
inch of rainfall per hour; or
The maximum flow rate of runoff produced by the 85th percentile hourly
rainfall intensity, as determined from the local historical rainfall record,
multiplied by a factor of two; or
iii. The maximum flow rate of runoff, as determined from the local historical
rainfall record, that achieves approximately the same reduction in
pollutant loads and flows as achieved by mitigation of the 85th percentile
hourly rainfall intensity multiplied by a factor of two.
Equivalent Numeric Sizing Criteria - The Copermittees may develop, as part of the
model SUSMP, any equivalent method for calculating the volume or flow which must be
mitigated (i.e., any equivalent method for calculating numeric sizing criteria) by post-
construction structural treatment BMPs. Such equivalent sizing criteria may be
authorized by the SDRWQCB for use in place of the above criteria. In the absence of
development and subsequent authorization of such equivalent numeric sizing criteria,
the above numeric sizing criteria requirement shall be implemented.
Pollutants or Conditions of Concern - As part of the model SUSMP, the Copermittees
shall develop a procedure for pollutants or conditions of concern to be identified for each
new development or significant redevelopment project. The procedure shall include, at
a minimum, consideration of (1) receiving water quality (including pollutants for which
receiving waters are listed as impaired under Clean Water Act section 303(d)); (2) land
use type of the development project and pollutants associated with that land use type;
(3) pollutants expected to be present on site; (4) changes in storm water discharge flow
rates, velocities, durations, and volumes resulting from the development project; and (5)
sensitivity of receiving waters to changes in storm water discharge flow rates, velocities,
durations, and volumes.
Implementation Process -As part of the model SUSMP, the Copermittees shall develop
a process by which SUSMP requirements will be implemented. The process shall
identify at what point in the planning process development projects will be required to
meet SUSMP requirements. The process shall also include identification of the roles
and responsibilities of various municipal departments in implementing the SUSMP
requirements, as well as any other measures necessary for the implementation of
SUSMP requirements.
Restaurants Less than 5,000 Square Feet - New development and significant
redevelopment restaurant projects where the land area development is less than 5,000
square feet shall meet all SUSMP requirements except for structural treatment BMP
and numeric sizing criteria requirement F.1.b.(2)(c) and peak flow rate requirement
F.1.b(2)(b)(i). A restaurant is defined as a facility that sells prepared foods and drinks
for consumption, including stationary lunch counters and refreshment stands selling
prepared foods and drinks for immediate consumption (SIC Code 5812).
Waiver Provision - A Copermiftee may provide for a project to be waived from the
requirement of implementing structural treatment BMPs (F.1.b.(2)(c)) if infeasibility can
be established. A waiver of infeasibility shall only be granted by a Copermittee when all
available structural treatment BMPs have been considered and rejected as infeasible.
Copermittees shall notify the SDRWQCB within 5 days of each waiver issued and shall
include the name of the person granting each waiver.

As part of the model SUSMP, the Copermittees may develop a program to require
I project proponents who have received waivers to transfer the savings in cost, as
determined by the Copermittee(s), to a storm water mitigation fund. This program may
be implemented by all Copermittees which choose to provide waivers. Funds may be
I used on projects to improve urban runoff quality within the watershed of the waived
project. The waiver program may identify:
I
i. The entity or entities that will manage the storm water mitigation fund (i.e.,
assume full responsibility for)
ii. The range and types of acceptable projects for which mitigation funds may be
expended;
I iii. The entity or entities that will assume full responsibility for each mitigation
project including its successful completion
iv. How the dollar amount of fund contributions will be determined.
I (i) Infiltration and Groundwater Protection - To protect groundwater quality, each
Copermiffee shall apply restrictions to the use of structural treatment BMPs which are
designed to primarily function as infiltration devices (such as infiltration trenches and
I infiltration basins). Such restrictions shall ensure that the use of such infiltration
structural treatment BMPs shall not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
groundwater quality objectives. At a minimum, use of structural treatment BMPs which
are designed to primarily function as infiltration devices shall meet the following
I conditions:5
L Urban runoff shall undergo pretreatment such as sedimentation or filtration prior
I to infiltration.
All dry weather flows shall be diverted from infiltration devices.
Pollution prevention and source control BMPs shall be implemented at a level
appropriate to protect groundwater quality at sites where infiltration structural
I treatment BMPs are to be used.
Infiltration structural treatment BMPs shall be adequately maintained so that
they remove pollutants to the maximum extent practicable.
I
v. The vertical distance from the base of any infiltration structural treatment BMP
to the seasonal high groundwater mark shall be at least 10 feet. Where
groundwater basins do not support beneficial uses, this vertical distance criteria
may be reduced, provided groundwater quality is maintained.
I vi. The soil through which infiltration is to occur shall have physical and chemical
characteristics (such as appropriate cation exchange capacity, organic content,
clay content, and infiltration rate) which are adequate for proper infiltration
I
durations and treatment of urban runoff for the protection of groundwater
beneficial uses.
Infiltration structural treatment BMPs shall not be used for areas of industrial or
light industrial activity; areas subject to high vehicular traffic (25,000 or greater
I average daily traffic on main roadway or 15,000 or more average daily traffic on
any intersecting roadway); automotive repair shops; car washes; fleet storage
areas (bus, truck, etc.); nurseries; and other high threat to water quality land
I
uses and activities as designated by each Copermittee.
Infiltration structural BMPs shall be located a minimum of 100 feet horizontally
from any water supply wells.
I As part of the model and local SUSMPs, the Copermittees may develop alternative
restrictions on the use of structural treatment BMPs which are designed to primarily
function as infiltration devices.
These conditions do not apply to structural treatment BMPs which allow incidental infiltration and are not designed to primarily
function as infiltration devices (such as grassy swales, detention basins, vegetated buffer strips, constructed wetlands, etc.)
I
