1.0 Purpose
This report has been prepared to address storm water pollution control objectives as
mandated by the Clean Water Act (CWA) and as regulated by the National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board, San Diego Region (SDRWQCB), the Model Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan (MSUSMP) for San Diego County and the City of Carlsbad Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan, Storm Water Standards (SUSMP).
This report identifies storm water quality concerns associated with the development of
the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive site. The discussion will include the identification of the
Receiving Waters for each discharge point, the Conditions of Concern (COCs) and the
Pollutants of Concern (POCs). The narrative will also include descriptions of the existing
and proposed site drainage patterns and facilities. The plan will also address the
objectives of employing Best Management Practices (BMPs), coupled with an effective
monitoring and maintenance program as a means for providing long-term water quality,
to the maximum extent practicable (MEP).
The Storm Water Management Plan is submitted, as required, as part of the review
process for discretionary permit application. As such, this report will not address
construction related storm water concerns as provided for in the City of Carlsbad
SUSMP. Identification of construction related sources of water pollution and the
application of mitigating BMPs is typically discussed in the Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The subject project will not be required to prepare a SWPPP,
as the area of disturbance is less than 1 acre. However, the waiving of the SWPPP
requirement does not release the developer from the responsibility of obtaining a grading
permit and an approved erosion control plan. The specified BMPs shall be installed,
monitored and maintained, in an acceptable manner, as determined by City Inspection
Staff.

2.0 Introduction
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (also referred to as the Clean Water Act
[CWA]) was amended in 1972 to make it unlawful to discharge pollutants to the waters
of the United States from any point source, unless the discharge is in compliance with an
NPDES permit. In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) published
final regulations that established storm water permit application requirements. The
RWQCB has since elected to adopt one statewide General Permit. In response, the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region (SDRWQCB), has
published Order No. 2001-01, NPDES No. CAS0108758 to administer the
implementation of Federally mandated controls on a local level. The order divides the
region into Watershed Management Areas (WMAs) and assigns Municipal Copermittees
to regulate storm water related activities within a particular V4A.
Each Copermittee owns or operates a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4)
through which it discharges urban runoff into waters of the United States within the San
Diego Region. Each Copermittee is responsible for meeting the provisions contained in
Division 7 of the California Water Code, the CWA and regulations adopted hereunder.
In accordance with Section F. 1.b.(2) Order No. 2001-01, the Copermittees have approved
a Model SUSMP for San Diego County, the Port of San Diego and Cities in San Diego
County.
The City of Carlsbad is identified as a Municipal Copermittee under Section 1 of
SDRWQCB, Order No. 2001-01. As a Copermittee, under Section 10 of the
aforementioned order, the City of Carlsbad is responsible for implementing an Urban
Runoff Management Program (URMP) that is designed to reduce discharges of pollutants
that flow into and from MS4s to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). Moreover, the
City of Carlsbad, under Section D. 1 of said order, has authority to establish, maintain and
enforce adequate legal authority to control pollutant discharges into and from its MS4
through ordinance, statute, permit, contract or similar means.
Pursuant to Section D.1 of the previously cited SDRWQCB order, the City of Carlsbad
has prepared a SUSMP to define Urban Runoff Requirements for Priority New
Development and Redevelopment Projects. The requirements of the SUSMP are
applicable to the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project as defined under Appendix A,
Storm Water Requirements Applicability Checklist.

3.0 Determination of Applicable Storm Water BMP Requirements
The City of Carlsbad SUSMP provides Appendix A as a mechanism to determine the
Applicable Storm Water BMP Requirements. The SUSMP requires the completion of
Section 1, Part A and Part B, as a component of the review process for application of
discretionary permit review. The checklist is designed to provide a standard to define
and identify the land use of Priority Projects.
The completion of SUSMP Appendix A, Section 1, Part A; indicates that the proposed
project development is defined under item 8 as Parking lots greater than or equal to 5,000
ft2 or with at least 15 parking spaces that are potentially exposed to urban runoff. The
proposed development will include 36 parking spaces over an area of 10,430 square feet.
The completion of SUSMP Appendix A, Section 1, Part B; identifies that the project
proponent is cited as including the following elements as part of the proposed site
development.
Item 1 New impervious areas, such as rooftops, roads, parking lots, driveways, paths
and sidewalks
Item 2 New pervious landscape areas and irrigation systems
Item 4 Trash storage areas
Item 9 Any grading or ground disturbance during construction
The SUSMP also provides Table 1 - Standard Development Project & Priority Project
Storm Water BMP Requirements Matrix. A review of the matrix indicates that the
project is required to incorporate site design BMPs, source control BMPs and treatment
control BMPs. The project is also subject to BMPs applicable to individual Priority
Project Categories.
The completed checklists; Section 1, Part A: Determine Priority Project Permanent Storm
Water BMP Requirements; Part B: Determine of Standard Permanent Storm Water
Requirements; Section 2, Part C: Determine Construction Phase Storm Water
Requirements; Part D: Determine Construction Site Priority, may be found in Appendix
A.

4.0 Site Description
The project is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Carlsbad, southeast of
Carlsbad Village Drive west of Interstate 5 (Figure 1). .The property fronts a portion of
Carlsbad Village Drive and contains 0.46 fallow acres. The parcel is bound to the north
by an existing fire station and to the south by an existing office building. An existing
residential development abuts the southern property line.
The majority of the site contains slope grades of approximately 8%. Isolated areas
containing slopes approaching 33% are located along the northern property line.
Elevation ranges are between 120 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) at the northeast site
boundary to 111 feet MSL at the southwest project boundary. The project area does not
contain any existing structures..

4.1 Existing Drainage• Patterns and Facilities
The Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan - City of Carlsbad,
California March, 1994, indicates that the project site is located within the Agua
Hedionda Watershed Basin Designation. However, the existing topography of the
adjacent properties and the proposed site grading indicates that the site is actually part of
the Buena Vista Watershed Basin Designation.
The existing onsite topography drains from the northeast to the southwest. Offsite flows,
from the fire station site, enter the property and sheet flow across the parcel in a
southwesterly direction. The sheet flow continues in a southwest direction until it
reaches an existing retaining wall located along the south parcel boundary. The flows
drain across the retaining wall and enter the parking lot located west of the site. The
runoff is conveyed northwesterly within the parking lot to an existing outfall location on
Carlsbad Village Drive.
Existing onsite drainage patterns and facilities are delineated on Figure - 4 Existing Site
Condition & Drainage Pattern Exhibit.
Storm Water Management Plan
Site Development Plan for 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.

4.2 Proposed Site Development Drainage Patterns and Facilities
The proposed site development will consist of a multi-storied commercial building with
supporting onsite parking. Approximately 30% of the parking area is covered and will
not be exposed to rainfall. However, at the request of the City of.Carlsbad, the covered
parking area has been included in the numeric sizing of the grass-lined swale.
The site is designed to mimic the historic runoff patterns by allowing storm runoff to
sheet flow across the parking lot in a southwesterly direction. The sheet flow passes
directly into a proposed grass-lined swale structural BMP. The swale directs the treated
runoff to a proposed concrete apron and D-25 curb outlet. The curb outlet is located at a
historic outfall location on Carlsbad Village Drive.
Proposed onsite drainage patterns and facilities are delineated on Figure 5 - Proposed
Site Condition & Drainage Pattern Exhibit.

5.0 Criteria for Identification of Pollutants of Concern
The City of Carlsbad SUSMP mandates that priority projects identify historical and
anticipated sources of pollutants. Procedures are outlined and information is provided to
aid in the identification of possible sources of pollution that may impair the beneficial
uses of a receiving water.
5.1 Historical Sources of Pollutants From the Project Area
A site reconnaissance was performed on May 29, 2003 to identify possible existing
sources of pollution and conditions of concern.
The site is accessed by a single driveway / dirt road and has been cleared of buildings and
groundcover. The project area contains a sparse cover of weeds.
Existing visible sources of pollutants appear to be denuded areas and small amounts of
trash. The fire station, located upstream of the site appears to contribute untreated runoff
from impervious building and patio areas. There is evidence of silt deposition from run
off in the form of ruts and small alluvial fans in the denuded areas. However there is no
apparent evidence of run off concentration points adjacent to the street or along the
downstream property that would indicate the introduction of silt.
Non-visible sources of pollutants from the site may include the introduction of pollutants
from the upstream fire department site and deposition of airborne pollutants from vehicle
use on Carlsbad Village Drive and nearby Interstate 5.

5.2 Identification of Receiving Waters
The State Water Resources Control Board has adopted a Basin Plan that was initially
developed in the early 1960s by the State Department of Water Resources (DWR). The
purpose of the Basin Plan is to preserve water quality and protect the beneficial uses of
all regional waters in California. The Basin Plan recognizes the regional differences in
water quality and quantity, and is designed to facilitate administration of a water quality
plan. Subsequently, in the early 1970s, the State Board enumerated the Basin Planning
Areas, Hydrologic Units, Areas and Subareas of the State.
In accordance with the early DWR definitions, Hydrologic Units are the entire watershed
of one or more streams; hydrologic areas are major tributaries and/or major groundwater
basin within the Hydrologic Unit; and Hydrologic Subareas are major subdivisions of the
Hydrologic Areas including both water-bearing and nonwater-bearing formations.
These boundaries should not be confused with the CWA 303(d) designation, which
mandates the identification of impaired waters within the state and is discussed in Section
5.3 of this report.
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive site is located within:
Hydrologic Unit Basin Planning Area 9—San Diego
Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit - Basin Number 904.00
Buena Vista Hydrologic Area - 904.20
El Salto Hydrologic Sub-Area - 904.21
The Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit is a roughly triangular-shaped area Of about 210 square
miles, extending from Lake Wohlford on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west, and
from Vista on the north to Cardiff-by-the-Sea on the south. The unit includes the cities of
Oceanside, Carlsbad, Leucadia, Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the Sea, Vista and Escondido. The
unit is drained by the following creeks; Buena Vista, Agua Hedionda, San Marcos and
Escondido.
The Carlsbad Unit contains four major coastal lagoons; Buena Vista, Agua Hedionda,
Batiquitos and San Elijo. Buena Vista Lagoon lies between the cities of Carlsbad and
Oceanside, and is partially within each city. A sandbar occasionally forms across the
mouth forming an ocean beach. The water level in the lagoon is maintained by an inflow
rising groundwater and return irrigation water from the area upstream of Vista Creek. A
portion of the lagoon has been designated as a bird sanctuary.

5.3 Identification of 303(d) Impaired Waters
Section 303(d)(1)(A) of the CWA specifies that each State shall identify those waters
within its boundaries for which the effluent limitations required by sections cited in the
CWA "are not stringent enough to implement any water quality standard applicable to
such waters. The State shall establish a priority ranking of such waters... taking into
account the severity of the pollution and the uses to be made of such waters."
In summary, the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Water Body mandates that the State(s)
list the impaired bodies of water in which water quality does not meet applicable water
quality standards and/or is not expected to meet water quality standards, even after the
application of technology based pollution controls required by the CWA. The discharge
of urban runoff to these water bodies by the Copermittees is significant because these
discharges can cause or contribute to violations of applicable water quality standards.
The USEPA approved a list of Impaired Waters prepared by the SDRWQCB on 12 May
1999. The City of Carlsbad SUSMP requires the identification of all downstream
Receiving and Impaired Waters. According to the SDRWQCB the Impaired Receiving
Waters of the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project are defined as follows:
Buena Vista Lagoon
Regional —9 (San Diego)
Water Body Type "E" - Estuaries

5.4 Identification of Pollutants of Concern
The City of Carlsbad SUSMP states that upon identifying the project's anticipated
pollutants (Section III. LA, Table 2), the receiving waters for each discharge point and the
pollutants identified in the 303(d) list, that a comparison be drawn to determine the
pollutants of concern.
The SUSMP contains Table 2, which provides a list of "Anticipated and Potential
Pollutants Generated by Land Use Types". The listed pollutants reflect possible sources
of pollution related to the post-development land use.
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project is a commercial development of less, than
100,000 square feet with a supporting parking lot. Table 2 lists the following Potential
Pollutants Generated by Land Use Types:
Parking Lots
Sediments (if landscaping exists onsite)
Nutrients (if landscaping exists onsite)
Heavy Metals
Trash & Debris
Oxygen Demanding Substances (if landscaping exists onsite)
Oil & Grease
Pesticides (if landscaping exists onsite)
As previously noted in Section 5.3, the 303(d) Impaired Waters, the pollutants/stressors
identified as impairing the receiving waters are as follows:
Buena Vista Lagoon
Low Priority - Bacteria Indicators
Low Priority . -Nutrients .
Medium Priority - Sediment/Siltation
Pacific Ocean Shoreline
Low Priority - Bacteria Indicators
Bacteria Indicators are analogous to bacteria and viruses that comprise the ubiquitous
microorganisms that thrive under certain environmental conditions. The proliferation of
bacteria and viruses is typically caused by the inclusion of animal or human fecal wastes
to the watershed. Coliform is an example of bacteria associated with fecal wastes.
Webster's Dictionary defines "coliform" .as, of or relating to, or like the colon bacillus,
normally occurring in all vertebrate intestinal tracts. Escherichia coil. Water containing
excessive levels of bacterial indicators can alter the aquatic habitat and create a harmful
environment for humans and aquatic life.
Storm Water Management Plan
Site Development Plan for 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
Carlsbad Village Drive Investors, LLC
5.4 Identification of Pollutants of Concern (continued)
Eutrophic forms of water pollution are manifest in bodies of water in which the increase
of mineral and organic nutrients has reduced the dissolved oxygen therefore, producing
an environment that favors plant life over animal life. Concentrations of nutrients, such
as nitrogen and phosphorus, in bodies of water can lead to excessive growth of aquatic
plants and algae. Excessive growth may cause above normal decay of organic material
and a subsequent reduction in dissolved oxygen in a process referred to as eutrophication.
The Section 303(d) List identifies Bacteria Indicators as impairing the Buena Vista
Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean Shoreline. However, Table 2 "Anticipated and Potential
Pollutants Generated by Land Use Types" (Figure 6) specifically excludes Bacteria &
Viruses from the General Pollutant Categories associated with the project development,
therefore the SWMP for the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project shall not address
Bacteria Indicators as a pollutant of concern.
The Identified Pollutants of Concern which are the target of the Treatment Control
BMP(s) are as follows:
Sediments/Siltation
Nutrients
Heavy Metals
Trash & Debris
Oxygen Demanding Substances
Oil & Grease
Pesticides

6.0 Criteria for Identification of Conditions of Concern
Changes to the hydrologic regime of a priority project would be considered a condition of
concern if the change(s) were to impact the "integrity of downstream channels and
habitat". To determine the Conditions of Concern, the SUSMP requires the following
steps be followed for each priority project.
Evaluate the projects COCs in a - drainage (hydrology) report prepared by a
qualified registered civil engineer.
Section 6.1 of this plan provides a Summary Evaluation of the Preliminary..
Hydrology Report.
Perform a field reconnaissance of the project area to observe and report on down
stream conditions.
The existing site observations are discussed in Section 4 of this plan, while the
relationship between the existing and developed conditions and the effect upon
run off characteristics is discussed in Section .1 of the SWIVIP.
Compute rainfall characteristics from the project area
Predevelopment and post-development runoff characteristics are calculated as
part of the Preliminary Hydrology Report. The findings thereof are discussed in
Section 6.1 of the SWMP
Storm Water Management Plan
Site Development Plan for 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccole Engineering, Inc.
Carlsbad Village Drive Investors, LLC
6.1 Summary Evaluation of the Final Hydrology Report
A site reconnaissance was performed and drainage study completed to analyze effects of
the predevelopment and post development drainage impacts to the site. The existing site
observations are discussed in Section 4 of this plan. This Section refers to information
found in the "Final Hydrology Report for 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive". The Node
locations cited in this Section are referenced from the above-mentioned report and are
delineated on Figure 6— Post Construction Phase BMP Exhibit.
The proposed project will consist of a multi-storied commercial building with a
supporting parking lot. As previously mentioned, the proposed building will cover
approximately 30% of the proposed parking lot.
The existing hydrologic regime divides the site into two drainage basins. Approximatel'y
3/4 of the site drains to the northwest. The watershed generates 1.15 cfs at Node location
108 during a 100-year storm event. The remainder of the site drains south and west to an
outfall location south of the site. This portion Of the site generates 0.05 cfs at Node 208
during a 100-year storm.
The developed site runoff condition is also comprised of two drainage basins. The
eastern portion of the site drains in a northwesterly direction. Runoff from the eastern
basin is collected in a series of landscaped areas equipped with grated private drains. The
treated flows are conveyed in a private drain to an outfall location on Carlsbad Village
Drive adjacent to the eastern property line. The eastern basin develops 0.70 cfs during a
100-year storm event. The remaining western portion of the site drains in a northwesterly
direction to a grass-lined swale BMP. The swale directs the flow in a northerly direction
to a curb outlet located on Carlsbad Village Drive and adjacent to the western property
line. The western portion of the site develops 2.15 cfs during a 100-year storm event at
Node location 208.
A complete "Final Hydrology Report for 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive" is included as
part of the Review Process for Discretionary Actions.

6.2 Identification of Conditions of Concern
Common impacts to the hydrologic regime resulting from development typically include
increased runoff volume and velocity; reduced infiltration; increased flow frequency,
duration and peaks; faster time to reach peak flow; and water quality degradation. These
changes have the potential to permanently impact downstream channels and habitat
integrity. A change to a priority project site's hydrologic regime would be considered a
condition of concern if the change would impact downstream channels and habitat
integrity.
Possible COCs, as identified in the SUSMP, that are associated with the development of
the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project include the following:
An increase in runoff volume
Reduced infiltration
Water quality degradation
The development of the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project will increase the site runoff
by 1.65 cfs. The Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan, dated
March 1994 indicates that the. site is part of a larger watershed that contributes to an
existing 66" RCP storm drain with a worse-case pipe slope of 0.50%. Assuming the
depth of flow in the 66" pipe to be Y2 the pipe diameter, or 2.75 feet, the pipe would carry
approximately 1,190 cfs. Employing this very conservative approach indicates that the
increase in flow to the receiving water is a negligible 0.14 %. However, it is safe to
assume that the storm drain facility is designed to carry flows approaching non-pressure
flow capacity. Such a comparison would yield an increase in flow of 0.06 % to the entire
downstream habitat and facilities. It is the determination of this report that such a minor
increase in flow the overall watershed does not constitute a negative impact to
downstream channels and habitat integrity.
Reduced infiltration and water quality degradation concerns are addressed by employing
site, source and treatment control BMPs. The site design BMPs are discussed in Section
7.1 while, source control BMPs are addressed in Section 7.2 of this report. The 1265
Carlsbad Village Drive project also proposes the construction of treatment control BMPs
that will reduce or remove pollutants of concern. The selection and function the BMPs
are discussed in Section 7.4 through 7.6 of the SWIvIP.

7.0 Establishing Storm Water Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The SUSMP dictates that all priority projects shall implement storm water BMPs to
mitigate the identified pollutants and conditions of concern. BMPs shall follow the
requirements outlined in the SUSMP and shall be designed as to remove pollutants to the
maximum extent practicable. All priority projects shall incorporate the applicable storm
water BMPs into the project design. Table 1 - "Priority Project Storm Water BMP
Requirements Matrix" specifies the application of Site Design, Source Control and
Treatment Control BMPs based upon land use.

7.1 Site Design BMPs
Site Control BMPs shall minimize the introduction of pollutants to the maximum extent
possible (MEP). Priority projects will provide hydrologic project design that "attempts to
mimic" the natural hydrology.
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project is a commercial development of less than
100,000 square feet with a supporting parking lot. Table 1 lists the requirements for the
application of Site Design BMPs. Section III (2)A —Maintain Pre-development Rainfall
Runoff Characteristics, provides examples of site design BMPs. The 1265 Carlsbad
Village Drive project employs the following Site Design BMPs:
Minimize impervious area
Incorporate landscape buffer areas
Drive aisles designed with minimal pavement width
Increased building density, minimized building footprint
Increase Rainfall Infiltration
Direct rooftop runoff to pervious (landscape) areas
Maximize Rainfall Interception
. Maximized canopy interception by the planting of trees and large shrubs
Minimize Directly Connected Impervious Areas (DCIAs)
Draining rooftops into adjacent landscaping prior to discharging to the
storm drain
. Parking areas into adjacent landscaping
Slope protection
Planting and irrigating slope groundcover and canopy
The site layout has been designed to maintain pre-development runoff characteristics by
producing a modest increase of 1.65 cfs in total site runoff and by returning storm runoff
to historic outfall locations. Drive aisle widths have been minimized. Lot landscaping
will provide filtration for roof drains and lot runoff while, grated private drains will
capture debris and silt before flows outfall to the street. Runoff from slopes will be
conveyed across vegetated areas to minimize the possibility of introducing silt to the
runoff.

7.2 Source Control BMPs
Source Control BMPs are designed to prevent storm water pollution at the source.
These BMPs shall be used in concert with Site Design BMPs to minimize the
introduction of pollutants to the maximum extent possible (MEP).
Reference is made to Section III (2)B - Source Control BMPs, which lists the
requirements for the application of Source Control BMPs. The 1265 Carlsbad Village
Drive project will employ the following Source Control BMPs:
Post signs and prohibitive language that prohibits illegal dumping at
public access points
Maintain legibility of stencils and signs
Use of efficient irrigation systems and landscape design
Irrigation systems are designed to address specific water requirements
Covered Trash Enclosures
To further reduce the sources of pollutants, the parking lot shall receive regularly
scheduled sweeping. CCRs will specify that outdoor or uncovered storage of materials is
not acceptable.
The landscape plan is designed to maximize canopy interception by providing a generous
number and varied palette of trees and shrubs. In addition, ground-coverings have been
selected to create areas for storm water treatment. Moreover, the specific irrigation
requirements for each landscape area have been considered and addressed during the
landscape design process.

the design process for applicable priority projects. The following is a listing of
Individual Priority Project Categories as cited in Section III (2)C that are a part of the
proposed development and are addressed in the site design:
Surface Parking Areas
The remaining list of Individual Priority Project Categories are contained herein, however
are not applicable to the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project:

7.4 Selection of Treatment Control BMPs
The SUSMP states that projects shall be designed to remove pollutants of concern from
the storm water conveyance system to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) through
the incorporation of treatment control BMPs. Treatment control BMPs must be
implemented unless, a wavier is granted to the project by the City Engineer, which
indicates the lack of a feasible treatment control BUT.
Priority projects shall be designed to remove pollutants of concern from the storm water
conveyance system to the MEP through the use of treatment control BMPs. The
selection process also requires the comparison of the list of pollutants for which the
downstream receiving waters are impaired, with the anticipated pollutants generated by
land use. Refer to Section 5.1 of this report, Identification of Pollutants of Concern, for a
complete list of Primary and Secondary Pollutants of Concern. Where a site generates•
both primary and secondary pollutants of concern, as is the case with 1265 Carlsbad
Village Drive, the primary pollutants of concern shall receive priority for BMP selection.
The SUSMP provides a Treatment Control BMP Selection Matrix as a reference in
determining the appropriate treatment control BMP(s).
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project employs a combination of vegetated areas and
swales that perform as biofiltration treatment BMPs to reduce the Pollutants of Concern.
The selection of grass-lined swales as biofilter treatment BMPs is based upon the
physical constraints posed by the size of the site and the required number of parking
spaces.
A comparison between the efficiency of the treatment control BMPs, as listed in Figure 8,
and the pollutant priority (low or medium, per Section 4.1) of the impaired receiving
waters indicate that the selected Treatment Control BMP efficiency is equal to or exceeds
the impaired water pollutant priority.

7.5 Numeric Sizing Design
The SUSMP provides criteria for the Numeric Sizing Design of treatment control BMPs.
The sizing of treatment control BMPs may be based upon flow or volume calculations.
The calculation provided in this report is based upon the flow rate of runoff produced
from a rainfall intensity of 0.2 inch of rainfall per hour for each hour of a storm event as
described in Section III (2) D, Table 3 - Numeric Sizing Treatment Standards of the
SUSMP.
Calculation of the 85th percentile runoff is as follows:
Q = C I A where C = Runoff Coefficient, San Diego County criteria
I = 0.2 inches
A = Basin Area, in acres
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive site contains two storm water drainage basins. The
Node locations are delineated on Figure 6.
The flow based calculation for the eastern storm water drainage basin, vegetated strip
treatment BMP is as follows:
Node 108 where C = 0.85
1= 0.2
A =0.12
Q =0.02cfs
The flow based calculation at the western storm water drainage basin, grass-lined swale
treatment BMP is as follows:
Node 208 where C=0.85
1=0.2
A=0.39
Q =0.07cfs
Calculations indicating the flow characteristics of each grass-lined swale are contained on
the following two pages. Channel calculations are based upon a trapezoidal channel 6
feet wide with side slopes of 4:1 (horizontal:vertical) and a base width of 4 feet, a
longitudinal slope of 1% (respectively) and a Manning's n value of 0.024 (Handbook of
Hydraulics, Brater & King, 6' edition).

7.5 Numeric Sizing Design (cont.)
The City and County of Los Angeles have created a Manual for the Standard Urban
Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP). The manual provides an introduction, permitting
and inspection procedures, the body of the SUSMP, tables and appendices. Appendix B,
of the manual, provides criteria for the design of treatment control BMPs. Since the City
of Carlsbad SUSMP does not provide treatment BMP design criteria, this plan refers to
the design criteria outlined in Appendix B, B.13 Vegetative Swale, of the Los Angeles
SUSMP Manual.
As outlined in the LASUSMP, Appendix B.13, Table 1, the criteria for swale
performance is listed by parameter, optimal and minimum criteria, and is summarized as
follows:
Criteria Optimal - Minimum
Hydraulic residence time 9 minutes - 5 minutes
Average flow velocity 0.9 fps - not available, not published
Swale width 8 feet - 2 feet
Swale length 200 feet - 100 feet
Swale slope 2-6%-l%
Side slope ratio (horiz:vert) 4:1 - 2:1
Swale Performance Data at Node 108 is as follows:
Flow rate of system = 0.02 cfs.
Longitudinal slope of system = 1.0%
Swale shape = trapezoidal
Channel base width =4 feet
Side slope ration = 4:1
Depth of Flow (Normal Depth) = 0.01 feet
Velocity of channel flow = 0.35 fps
Swale Performance Data at Node 208 is as follows:
Flow rate of system = 0.07 cfs
Longitudinal slope of system = 1.0%
Swale shape = trapezoidal
Channel base width =4 feet
Side slope ration = 4:1
Depth of Flow (Normal Depth) = 0.03 feet
Velocity of channel flow = 0.58 fps

7.6 Location of Treatment Control BMPs
According to the SUSMP treatment control BMPs should be implemented close to
pollution sources to minimize costs and maximize pollutant removal prior to runoff
entering receiving waters and may be combined with flood control structures.
The treatment control BMPs are located adjacent to the source of runoff. The BMP
locations are delineated on Figure 6 of this plan.

7.7 Infiltration BMPs - Use and Restrictions
BMPs that are designed to function primarily as infiltration devices, such as infiltration
basins and trenches, are subject to restrictions as outlined in the SUSMP. As
groundwater basin data becomes available, the City Engineer may develop restrictions on
the use of incidental infiltration devices such as grassy swales, vegetated buffer strips,
detention basins or constructed wetlands.
Three factors significantly influence the potential for urban runoff infiltration devices to
contaminate ground water basins. They are (i) pollutant mobility, (ii) pollutant
abundance in urban runoff and (iii) soluble fraction of pollutant. The risk of
contamination of groundwater may be reduced by pretreatment of urban runoff. A
discussion of the limitations and guidance for the application of infiltration practices is
containedin the Environmental Protection .Agenc Report Number EPA/600/R-94/051,
Potential Groundwater Contamination from Intentional and Nonintentional Stormwater
Infiltration, USEPA (1994).
To protect groundwater quality, the City Engineer may apply restrictions to the use of
any BMPs that are designed to primarily function as infiltration devices. As additional
groundwater basin data is obtained, the City Engineer may develop additional restrictions
on the use of any BMPs that allow for incidental infiltration. At present, the City
Engineer has not imposed specific restrictions on the use of incidental infiltration
devices. However, the use of structural treatment control BMPs that are designed to
primarily function as infiltration devices shall meet the following conditions.
Applicable Restrictions
Pollution prevention and source control BMPs shall be implemented at a level
appropriate to protect groundwater quality at sites where infiltration structural
treatment control BMPs are used.
As cited in Section 7.4 of the SWMP, the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive .site
contains landscape areas that provide filtration.
Non-Applicable Restrictions
All dry weather flows shall be diverted from infiltration devices
Urban runoff from commercial developments

7.7 Infiltration BMPs - Use and Restrictions (cont.)
Non-Applicable Restrictions
Vertical distance from the base of an infiltration device the seasonal high
groundwater mark shall be at least 10 feet, or as determined by the City Engineer
The soil through which infiltration is to occur shall have physical characteristics
that are adequate for proper infiltration and for the protection of groundwater for
beneficial uses
Infiltration structural treatment control BMPs shall not be used in areas of.
industrial or light industrial activity ,
The horizontal distance between the base of any infiltration BMP and water
supply wells shall be 100 feet or as determined by the City Engineer.

7.8 Wavier of Treatment Control BMP Requirements
The City Engineer may provide for a project to be waived from the requirement of
implementing structural treatment control BMPs (discussed in Section 3.2.4) if
infeasibility can be established. Waivers may only be granted from structural treatment
control BMP and structural treatment control BMP sizing requirements. Priority
development projects, whether or not granted a waiver may not cause or contribute to an
exceedance of water quality objectives. Pollutants in runoff from projects granted a
waiver must still be reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
The City must notify the Regional Board within 5 days of each waiver issued and shall
include the name of the person granting each waiver. A, SUSMP waiver impact, fee
program may be established by the City.
As an alternative to implementing structural treatment control BMPs on site, the City
may also implement the Local Equivalent Area Drainage (LEAD) Method pursuant to the
requirements set forth in the SUSMP.

8.0 Storm Water BMP Maintenance
The City Engineer will not consider structural BMPs "effective", and therefore will not
accept storm water BMPs as meeting the MEP standard, unless a mechanism is in place
that will insure ongoing long-term maintenance of all structural BMPs. This mechanism
shall be proposed by the project proponent as part of the SWMP and will be refined
through the City review process until satisfactory verification of maintenance is provided
to the City Engineer. Such verification may include but is limited to covenants, legal
agreements, maintenance agreements and / or conditional use permits.
8.1 Maintenance Mechanisms
• The SUSMP suggests several mechahisms for providing long-term maintenance. The
1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project proposes to entering into a "Project proponent
agreement to maintain storm water BMPs" as cited under Section V.4 of the SUSMP.
The project proponent proposes to provide funding for reimbursement of maintenance
costs as cited in the "Statement of Designated Responsible Party", attached hereto as a
part, of Appendix "D", Operations and Maintenance Plan for 1265 Carlsbad Village
Drive.
This option was selected from the list of potential maintenance mechanisms because of
the use of a grass-lined swale treatment control BMPs that are an integral part of the site
design and landscape plan. Since the BMPs are not separate from the landscape, but
rather are a part of the whole, the 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project proposes to assign
long-term maintenance-funding responsibility to the project proponent, with the
knowledge that City staff may verify BMP maintenance. As such, the BMPs will be
maintained and would not be neglected or fall into disrepair.
8.2 Verification Mechanisms
For discretionary projects, the City approved method of storm water BMP maintenance
shall be incorporated into the projects permit, and shall be consistent with permits issued
by resource agencies, before City approval of discretionary permits. For projects only
ministerial permits, the City-approved method of storm water BMP maintenance shall be
incorporated into the permit conditions before the issuance of any ministerial permits. In
all instances, the project proponent shall provide proof of execution of a City-approved
method of maintenance repair and replacement before the issuance of construction
approvals. For public projects that are not required to obtain permits, the City shall be
responsible for ensuring that an approved method of storm water BMP maintenance
repair and replacement is executed prior to the commencement of construction. For all
properties, the verification mechanism will include the project proponent's signed
statement, a part of the project application, accepting responsibility for all structural BMP
maintenance, repair and replacement, until a City approved entity agrees to assume
responsibility for structural BMP maintenance, repair and replacement.

8.3 Maintenance Requirements
Operation & Maintenance (0 & M) Plan - The City requires that a copy of an Operation
& Maintenance (0 & M) Plan, prepared by the project proponent satisfactory to the City
Engineer, is attached to the approved maintenance agreement, which describes the
designated responsible part to manage the storm water BMP(s), employee's training
program and duties, operating schedule, maintenance frequency, routine service schedule,
specific maintenance activities, copies of resource agency permits, and any other
necessary activities. At a minimum, maintenance agreements shall require the inspection
and servicing of all structural BMPs on an annual basis. The project proponent or City-
approved maintenance entity shall complete and maintain 0 & M forms to document all
maintenance requirements. Parties responsible for the 0 & M plan shall retain records
for at least 5 years. These documents shall be made available to the City for inspection
upon request at any time.
Access Easement/Agreement: As part of the maintenance mechanism selected above, the
City requires the inclusion of a copy of an executed access easement that shall be binding
on the land throughout the life of the project, until such time that the storm water BMP
requiring access is replaced, satisfactory to the City Engineer.

9.0 Summary and Conclusion
This, report has been prepared in accordance with the City of Carlsbad SUSMP. The
SWMP has identified sources of potential pollutants for the historic condition and has
also identified the receiving and impaired waters below the project site. The plan
identifies potential sources of pollution associated with the development of the 1265
Carlsbad Village Drive project and cites the implementation of mitigating BMPs for the
post-construction condition. The plan also makes provision the long-term funding of a
maintenance program that will protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable.

Part 0: Determine Construction Site Priority
In accordance with the Municipal Permit, each construction site with construction storm
Water BMP requirements must be designated with a priority: high, medium or low.
This prioritization must be completed with this form, noted on the plans, and included in
the SWPPP or WPCP. Indicate the project's priority in one of the check boxes using the
criteria below, and existing and surrounding conditions of the project, the type of
activities necessary to complete the construction and any other extenuating
circumstances that may pose a threat to water quality. The City reserves the right to
adjust the priority of the projects both before and during construction. [Note:
The construction priority does NOT change construction BMP requirements that apply
to projects; all construction BMP
_,
requirements must be identified on a case-by-case
basis. The construction priority does affect the frequency of inspections that will be
conducted by City staff. See Section IV.1 for more details on construction BMP
requirements.]
U A) High Priority
Projects where the site is 50 acres or more and grading will occur during the
rainy season
Projects 5 acres or more. 3) Projects 5 acres or more within or directly
adjacent to or discharging directly to a coastal lagoon or other receiving water
within an environmentally sensitive area
Projects, active or inactive, adjacent or tributary to sensitive water bodies
B) Medium Priority
Capital Improvement Projects where grading occurs, however a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is not required under the State General
Construction Permit (i.e., water and sewer replacement projects, intersection
and street re-alignments, widening, comfort stations, etc.)

APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
B.13 VEGETATIVE SWALE
DESCRIPTION
Vegetated swales are shallow vegetated channels to convey stormwater where pollutants are
removed by filtration through grass and infiltration through soil. They look similar to, but are wider
than, a ditch that is sized only to transport flow. They require shallow slopes and soils that drain
well. Grassed swale designs have achieved mixed performance in pollutant removal efficiency.
Moderate removal rates have been reported for suspended solids and metals associated with
particulates such as lead and zinc. Runoff waters are typically not detained long enough to
effectively, remove ,very fine suspended solids, and swales are generally unable, to remov
significant amounts of dissolved nutrients. Pollutant removal capability is related to channel
dimensions, longitudinal slope, and type of vegetation. Optimum design of these components
will increase contact time of runoff through the swale and improve pollutant removal rates.
Vegetated swales are primarily stormwater conveyance systems. They can provide sufficient
control under light to moderate runoff conditions, but their ability to control large storms is limited.
Therefore, they are most applicable in low to moderate sloped areas as an alternative to ditches
and curb and gutter drainage. Their performance diminishes sharply in highly urbanized settings.
Vegetated swales are often used as a pretreatment measure for other downstream BMPs,
particularly infiltration devices. Enhanced vegetative swales utilize check dams and wide
depressions to increase runoff storage and promote greater settling of pollutants.
ADVANTAGES
Relatively easy to design, install and maintain.
Vegetated areas that would normally be included in the site layout, if designed for
appropriate flow patterns, may be used as a vegetated swale.
Relatively inexpensive. . . .
Vegetation is usually pleasing to residents.
LIMITATIONS
Irrigation may be necessary to maintain vegetative cover.
Potential for mosquito breeding areas.
Possibility of erosion and channelization over time.
Requires dry soils with good drainage and high infiltration rates for better pollutant
removal. .
May 17, 2000 B-65
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
Not appropriate for pollutants toxic to vegetation.
Large area requirements may make this BMP infeasible for some sites.
Used to serve sites less than 10 acres in size, with slopes no greater than 5 percent.
The seasonal high water table should be at least 2 feet below the surface.
Buildings should be at least 10 feet from the site.
DESIGN CRITERIA
Several criteria should be kept in mind when beginning swale design. These provisions,
presented in Table 1, have been developed through a series of evaluative research, conducted
on swale performance.
Table 1. Criteria for optimum swale performance (Homer, 1993).
Parameter ' Optimal Criteria Minimum Criteria*
Hydraulic Residence Time 9 min 5 mm
Average Flow Velocity 0.9 ft/s
Swale Width 8 ft 2 It
Swale Length 200 ft 100 ft
Swale Slope • 2 -6% ' 1%
Side Slope Ratio (horizontal:vertical) 4: 1 2 :1
* Criteria at or below minimum values can be used when compensatory adjustments are made to the
standard design. Specific guidance on implementing these adjustments will be discussed in the design
section.
The procedures described below were set forth by Homer, and unless otherwise cited, are set
forth in Blo filtration for Stormwater Runoff Quality Control, published in 1993. The following
steps are recommended to be conducted in order to complete a swale design:
Determine the flow rate to the system.
Determine the slope of the system.
Select a swale shape (skip if filter strip design).
Determine required channel width.
Calculate the cross-sectional area of flow for the channel.
Calculate the velocity of channel flow.
Calculate swale length.
Select swale location based on the design parameters.
Select a vegetation cover for the swale.
Check for swale stability.
May 17, 2000 ,
B-66
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
Recommended procedures for each task are discussed in detail below.
Determine Flow Rate to the System. Calculate the flow rate of stormwater to be
mitigated by the vegetated swale using the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Works Method for Calculating Standard Urban Storm water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP)
Flow Rates and Volumes Based on 0.75-inches of Rainfall. Runoff from larger events
should be designed to bypass the swale, consideration must be given to the control of
channel erosion and destruction of vegetation. • A stability analysis for larger flows (up to
the 100-yr 24-hour) must be performed. If the flow rate approaches or exceeds I ft3ls,
one or more of the design criteria in Table imay be violated, and the swale system may,
notfUnction correctly (Washington State Department of Transportation, 1995).. Altemative
measures to lower the design flow should be investigated. Possibilities include dividing
the flow among several swales, installing detention to control release rate upstream, and
reducing developed surface area to reduce runoff coefficient value and gain space for
biofiltration (Homer, 1993).
Determine the Slope of the System. The slope of the swale will be somewhat dependent
on where the swale is placed, but should be between the stated criteria of one and six
percent.
Select a Swale Shape. Normally, swales are designed and constructed in a trapezoidal
shape, although alternative designs can be parabolic, rectangular, and triangular.
Trapezoidal cross-sections are preferred because of relatively wider vegetative areas
and ease of maintenance (Khan, 1993). They also avoid the sharp corners present in V-
shaped and rectangular swales, and offer better stability than the vertical walls of
rectangular swales.
Determine Required Channel Width. Estimates for channel width for the selected shape
can be obtained by applying Manning's:
1.486ARh0667S 0.5
n
Where:
Q = Flow (ft3ls).
A = Cross-sectional area of flow (ft2).
Rh = Hydraulic radius of flow cross section (ft).
S = Longitudinal slope of biofilter (ft/ft).
n = Manning's roughness coefficient.
May 17, 2000 6-67
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
A Manning's n value of 0.02 is used for routine swales that will be mowed with some
regularity. For swales that are infrequently mowed, use a Manning's n value of 0.024. A higher
n value can be selected if it is known that vegetation will be very dense (Khan, 1993). Figure 1
presents channel geometry and equations for a trapezoidal swale, the most frequently used
shape.

Substituting the geometric equations presented in Figure 1 into Manning's equation, the
bottom width (Wb) and the top width (Wt) for the trapezoid swale can be computed using
the following equations:
w ' Qn •zH
' y 167 s05
W' Wb' 2zH (3)
May 17, 2000 B-68
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
Where:
Q = Flow rate in ft3/s.
n = Manning's roughness coefficient.
Y Depth of flow.
H = The side slope in the form of z: 1.
For trapezoidal and the limited case of V-shapes, the side slope (z) used should be at
least 3:1 (horizontal:vertical). V-shaped swales should be double checked after
computation of wt to make sure that z = 2w is at least 3. If a slope steeper than 2:1 must
be used, additional stabilization measures (i.e., lining the swale with riprap) may be
needed.
Typically, the depth of flow in the channel (H) is set at to 4 inches. Flow depth can also
be determined by subtracting 2 inches from the expected grass height, if the grass type
and the height it will be maintained is known. Values lower than 3 to 4 inches can be
used, but doing so will increase the computed width (wt or Wb) of the swale (Washington
State Department of Transportation, 1995).
Swale width computed should be between 2 to 8 feet. Relatively wide swales (those
wider than 8 feet are more susceptible to flow channelization and are less likely to have
uniform sheet flow across the swale bottom for the entire swale length. The maximum
widths for swales is on the order of 10 feet, however widths greater than 8 feet should be
evaluated to consider the effectiveness of the flow spreading design used and the
likelihood of maintaining evenness in the swale bottom. Since length may be used to
compensate for width reduction (and vice versa) so that area is maintained, the swale
width can be arbitrarily set to 8 feet to continue with the analysis. If b is less than 2 feet,
set b = 2 feet and continue. Narrower widths can be used if space is very constrained.
Sometimes when the flow rate is very low, the equation above can generate a negative
value for Wb. Since this is not possible, the bottom width should be set to 1 feet when this
occurs.
Calculate Cross-Sectional Area. Compute the cross-sectional area (A) for the swale,
using the following equation:
Ax • (wb . 2zH)yH (4)
Calculate the Velocity of the Channel Flow. Channel flow velocity (U) can be computed
using the continuity equation:
May 17, 2000 B-69
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
U.. AX
(5)
This velocity should be less than 0.9 ftfs,a velocity that was found to cause grasses to be
flattened, reducing filtration. A velocity lower than this maximum value is recommended
to achieve the 9-minute hydraulic residence time criterion,: particularly in shorterswales
(at U = 0.9 ft/s. a 485-ft swale is needed for a 9-min residence time and a 269-ft swale
for a 5-mm. residence time).
if the value of U suggests that a longer swale will be needed than space permits,
investigate how the design flow Q can be reduced, or increase flow depth (H) and/or
swale width (wt) up to the maximum allowable values and repeat the analysis.
7. Calculate Swale Length. Compute the swale length (L) using the following equation:
L • Utr (60 s/mm) (6)
Where:
tr = Hydraulic residence time (in minutes).
Use tr = 9 min for this calculation.
If a swale length greater than the space will permit results, investigate how the design flow
Q can be reduced. Increase flow depth (H) and/or swale width (Wb) up to the maximum
allowable values and repeat the analysis. If all of these possibilities are checked and
space is still insufficient, t can be reduced, but to no less than 5 minutes. If the
computation results in L less than 100 ft, set L = 100 ft and investigate possibilities in
width reduction. This is possible through recalculating U at the 100-ft length, recomputing
cross-sectional area, and ultimately adjusting the swale width Wb using the appropriate
equation.
8. Select Swale Location. Swale geometry should be maximized by the designer, using the
above equations, and given the area to be utilized. If the location has not yet been
chosen, it is advantageous to compute the required swale dimensions and then select a
location where the calculated width and length will fit. If locations available cannot
accommodate a linear swale, a wide-radius curved path can be used to gain length.
Sharp bends should be avoided to reduce erosion potential. Regardless of when and
May 17, 2000 B-70
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
how site selection is performed, consideration should be given to the following site
criteria:
Soil Type. Soil characteristics in the swale bottom should be conducive to grass growth.
Soils that contain large amounts of clay cause relatively low permeability and result in
standing water, and may cause grass to die. Where the potential for leaching into
groundwater exists, the swale bottom may need to be sealed with clay to protect from
infiltration into the resource. Compacted soils will need to be tilled before seeding or
planting. If topsoil is required to facilitate grass seeding and growth, use 6 inches of the
following recommended topsoil mix: 50 to 80 percent sandy loam, 10 to 20 percent clay,
and 10 to 20 percent composted organic matter (exclude animal waste).
Slope. The natural slope of the potential location will determine the nature and amount
of regrading, or if additional measures to reduce erosion and/or increase pollutant
removal are required. Swales should be graded carefully to attain uniform longitudinal
and lateral slopes and to eliminate high and low spots. If needed, grade control checks
should be provided to maintain the computed longitudinal slope and limit maximum flow
velocity (Urbonas, 1992).
Natural Vegetation. The presence and composition of existing vegetation can provide
valuable information on soil and hydrology. If wetland vegetation is present, inundated
conditions may exist at the site. The presence of larger plants, trees and shrubs, may
provide additional stabilization along the swale slopes, but also may shade any grass
cover established. Most grasses grow best in full sunlight, and prolonged shading should
be avoided. It is preferable that vegetation species be native to the region of application,
where establishment and survival have been demonstrated.
9. Select Vegetative Cover. A dense planting of grass provides the filtering mechanism
responsible for water quality treatment in swales. In addition, grass has the ability to grow
through thin deposits of sediment and sand, stabilizing the deposited sediment and
preventing it from being resuspended in runoff waters. Few other herbaceous plant
species provide the same density and surface per unit area. Grass is by far the most
effebtive choice of plant material in swales, however not all grass species provide
optimum vegetative cover for use in swale systems. Dense turf grasses are best for
vegetative cover. Table 2 lists several turf grasses, and their suitability in terms of cold
tolerance, heat tolerance, mowing height adaptation, drought tolerance, and maintenance
cost and effort.
In areas of poor drainage, wetlands species can be planted for increased, vegetative
cover. Use wetland species that are finely divided like grass and relatively resilient.
Invasive species, such as cattails, should be avoided to eliminate proliferation in the

swale and downstream.
Woody or shrubby plantings can be used for landscaping on the edge of side slopes, but
not in the swale treatment area. Trees and shrubs can provide some additional
stabilization, but also mature and shade the grass. In addition, leaf or needle drop can
contribute unwanted nutrients, create debris jams, or interfere with waterfiow through the
system. If landscape plantings are to be used, selection and planting processes should
be carefully planned and carried out to avoid these potential problems.

10. Check Swale Stability. The stability check is performed for the combination of highest
expected flow and least vegetation coverage and height. Stability is normally checked
for flow rate (Q) for the 100-yr1 24-h storm unless runoff from larger such events will bypass
the swale. Q can be determined using the same methods mentioned for the initial design,
storm computation. The maximum velocity (U) in ft/s, that is permissible for the
vegetation type,,' slope, and soil conditions should be obtained. Table 3 provides
maximum velocity data for a variety of vegetative covers and slopes.

The estimated degree of retardance for different grass coverage ("good" or "fair") should
be obtained for the selected vegetation height. Estimation should be based on coverage
and height will first receive flow, or whenever coverage and height are at their lowest.

Select a trial Manning's n value for poor vegetation cover and low height. A good initial
choice is n = 0.04. Using the alphabetic code assigned for the degree of retardance and
the chosen n value, consult the following graph to obtain a first approximation for URh
(velocity x hydraulic radius).
The graph in Figure 2 was derived based on English units. Compute the hydraulic radius,
using the t4 determined for vegetation type and slope, by applying the following
equation:
URh

Once the actual URh is determined, compare this value with the first approximation for
URh obtained through Figure 2. If they do not agree within five percent, adjust Manning's
n value and repeat the process until acceptable agreement is reached. If n < 0.033 is
needed to get agreement, set n = 0.033, solve URh again using Manning's equation
above, and proceed.
The actual velocity for the final design conditions should be computed using the following
equation:
URh
(9)
The actual velocity U should be less than the U=x value obtained from Table 3.
The area (Ax) required for stability should be computed from the following equation:
May 17, 2000 B-75
APPENDIX B BMP DESIGN CRITERIA
AX
0
U (10)
The area value obtained in this procedure should be compared with the area (Ar) value
obtained in the capacity analysis. If less area is required for stability than is provided for
capacity, the design is acceptable. If more area is required for stability, use the area (Ax)
value obtained in the stability analysis to recalculate channel dimensions.
The depth of flow at the stability check design flow rate then needs to be computed for the
final dimensions of the swale by solving for yin the area equations provided on Figure 2.
Compare this flow depth to the depth used in the capacity design. The larger of the two
values should be used, plus 1 ft of freeboard, to obtain the total depth of the swale. The
top width for the full depth of the swale should than be recalculated.
As a final check for capacity should be performed based on the stability check design
storm, maximum vegetation height and cover to ensure that capacity is adequate if the
largest expected event coincides with the greatest retardance. Using Manning's
equation, the Manning's n value used for capacity design, and the calculated channel
dimension (including freeboard) to compute the flow capacity of the channel. If the flow
capacity is less than the stability check design storm flow rate, increase the channel
cross-sectional area as needed for this conveyance, and specify the new channel
dimensions.

1.0 Introduction
The City of Carlsbad is identified as a Municipal Copermittee under Section 1 of the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region (SDRWQCB),
Order No. 2001-01. Asa Copermittee, under Section 10 of the aforementioned order, the
City of Carlsbad is responsible for implementing an Urban Runoff Management Program
(URMP) that is designed to reduce discharges of pollutants that flow into and from MS4s
to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). Moreover, the City of Carlsbad, under
Section D. 1 of said order, has authority to establish, maintain and enforce adequate legal
authority to control pollutant discharges into and from its MS4 through ordinance, statute,

Pursuant to Section D.1 of SDRWQCB Order No. 2001-01, the City of Carlsbad his
prepared and adopted a SUSMP to define Urban Runoff Requirements for Priority New
Development and Redevelopment Projects. The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive is a
"discretionary action" project and is therefore subject to the requirements of the SUSMP.
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Cadsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
2.0 Purpose
The purpose of this 0 & M Plan is to comply with the terms of the City of Carlsbad -
Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and to provide a set of guidelines
directed toward the implementation of an inspection and maintenance program that will
ensure the intended, long-term function, of the project's "permanent treatment" BMPs.
Section V.4.1 of the SUSMP,.states the following:
"The maintenance agreement shall include the following:

document all maintenance requirements. Parties responsible for the O&M
plan shall retain records for at least 5 years. These documents shall be made
available to the City for inspection upon request at any time.
Access Easement/Agreement: If a permanent BMP requires access for
maintenance, as part of the O&M plan, the applicant shall execute and record
an access easement or agreemerit that shall be binding on the under lying land
throughout the life of the project in favor of the party responsible for
maintenance, until such time that the permanent treatment BMP requiring
access for maintenance is removed or replaced. The City shall approve any
changes to permanent BMP's, O&M Plans or access agreements. The
agreement shall include a provision that gives the City the right, but not the
obligation to perform the maintenance. The party responsible for BMP
maintenance will pay the City for any and all costs incurred by the City for
maintaining any BMP's. The agreement will provide a cost recovery
provision in favor of the City satisfactory to the City Attorney."
Note that access to the permanent treatment BMP for maintenance purposes is granted to
the City as noted in the "Statement of Designated Responsible Party".
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive project is also subject to conditions cited in Planning
Resolution No. 5506. The conditions relevant to storm water concerns are as follows:
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:

2.0 Purpose (cont.)
(28.) Prior to issuance of grading permit or building permit, whichever occurs first,
Developer shall submit for City. approval a "Storm Water Management Plan
(SWMP)." The SWMP shall demonstrate compliance with the City of Carlsbad
Standard Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), Order 2001-01 issued by the
San Diego Region of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and
the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code. The SWMP shall address measures to
avoid contact or filter said pollutants from storm water, to the maximum extent
practicable, for the post-construction stage of the project. At a minimum, the
SWMP shall:
Identify existing and post-development on-site pollutants-of-
concern;
Identify the hydrologic unit this project contributes to and impaired
bodies that could be impacted by this project;
C. Recommended source controls and treatment controls that will be
implemented with this project to avoid contact or filter said
pollutants from the storm water to the maximum extent practicable
before discharging to City right-of-way;
Establish specific procedures for handling spills and routine
cleanup. Special considerations and effort shall be applied to
resident education on the proper procedures for handling clean up
and disposal of pollutants;
ensure long-term maintenance of all post construction BMPs in
perpetuity;
f, identify how post-development runoff rates and velocities from the
site will not exceed the pre-development runoff rates and velocities
to the maximum extent practicable.

1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
3.0 Designated Responsible Party
Section V.4.1 - Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Plan of the SUSMP, states that the
Plan shall describe the "Designated Responsible Party" to manage the storm water BMPs,
employee's training program and duties, operating schedule, maintenance frequency,
routine service schedule, specific maintenance activities (including maintenance of storm
water conveyance system stamps), copies of resource agency permits and any other
necessary activities.. .the project proponent or City approved maintenance entity shall
complete and maintain O&M forms to document all maintenance requirements.
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
4.0 Permanent Treatment Control (Structural) BMPs
Treatment Control (Structural) control BMPs are defined in the SUSMP - Appendix I -
Definitions, as "any engineered system designed and constructed to remove pollutants
from urban runoff. Pollutant removal is achieved by simple gravity settling of particulate
pollutants, filtration, biological uptake, media absorption or any other physical,
biological, or chemical process."
Treatment BMPs may be further be categorized as volume or flow-based BMPs. An
example of a flow-based BMP is a grass-lined swale, while a detention pond is an
example of a volume-based BMP. Whether categorized as a volume or a flow-based, the
BMPs are designed to treat the "first flush" of storm runoff.
The first flush may be described as the runoff, which accumulates on a watershed during -
the initial phase of a storm (rainfall) event. The anticipated volume of runoff is 16w
however, tends to contain higher concentrations of pollutants.
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive' employs a single, flow-based, grass-lined swale BMP
and landscape areas to treat the site storm runoff. The BMP was selected on basis of
pollutant removal efficiency, site constraints and the relative ease of maintenance.
The location of the permanent treatment control BMP is delineated on Figure 1 -
Permanent Treatment BMP Location Exhibit.
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
5.0. Operations & Maintenance
For the structural BMPs to function as designed, it is necessary to implement a
comprehensive O&M Plan. Key elements of a sound O&M Plan include training,
inspection and maintenance.
5.1 Training
It is essential that the Owner/Designated Responsible Party and maintenance forces
receive specific training to enable the intended function of the structural BMPs.
Storm water pollution control seminars are available, to the public, through City, County
and private organizations such as the Building Industry Association (BIA). The courses
are tailored to address specific topics. Topics generally covered include National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations and Best Management
Practices. It is the responsibility of the Owner to obtain training specifically tailored to
address inspection, operation and maintenance of the site treatment BMPs. Owner
training shall be verified by providing a certificate of attendance.
Maintenance activities are often subcontracted to outside sources. In the event of such
occurrence, proof of contractor training shall be provided to the Owner in the form of a
certificate of attendance and/or affidavit, from the contractor, to that effect.
This manual recommends that-the Owner and maintenance personnel receive training at
least once every five years, or as notified by the City of Oceanside. Owner/Designated
Responsible Party and Employee/Contractor training records shall be maintained for a
period of no less than five (5) years. Training records shall be filed in Appendix I.
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
5.2 Inspections
The routine inspection component of the O&M Plan serves as a mechanism to
proactively identify potential and existing problems that may impair the intended
function of a source control or structural BMP. The inspector must assess the condition
and effectiveness of each element of a source control or structural BMP. The findings of
such inspections will subsequently affect maintenance activities.
Section V.4.1, of the SUSMP, recommends that inspections be performed on an annual
basis. This manual recommends that inspections be conducted in September and May of
each year. This schedule coincides with the "official rainy season" that begins October
1St and ends April 30th of each year. Adoption of this schedule will provide ample time to
perform corrective maintenance to structural BMPs, before and after the rainy season.
All corrective maintenance shall be completed by October ls, to coincide with the
official beginning of the rainy season. Additional inspections shall be performed after
storm events producing greater than 1" of rainfall as reported by the National Weather
Service.
Source Control BMPs
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive has source control BMPs located on or in the vicinity of
the Treatment BMP as delineated on Figure 1 of this Plan. The inspection of the source
control BMPs shall include:
Condition of signage
Check for unobstructed view of signage
Condition of inlet stenciling (if applicable)
Check for unobstructed view of stenciling
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive landscape and irrigation system is laid out in such a
manner as to provide groundcover and canopy landscape that requires a minimum
amount of irrigation. To ensure the proper operation of the irrigation system and to
reduce the introduction of non-storm water flows to the storm drain system; the
inspection of landscape and irrigation shall include the following:
General condition of landscape ground cover and canopy
Check for areas of bare soil within the landscape/slope areas
Check condition or private drain within landscape areas,. note obstructions
Check irrigation system for function, coverage & damage
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
6.2 Inspections (continued)
Structural (Treatment) Control BMPs
The 1265 Carlsbad Village Drive site employs a grass-lined swale and landscape areas to
function as the site treatment BMPs. The location of the source control BMP and the
treatment BMP watershed area are delineated on Figure 1 - Permanent Structural BMP
Location Exhibit.
Common maintenance problems associated with vegetated swales are; erosion, weed
growth, maintaining grass, sedimentation and bank deterioration. Additional problems
may include the presence of animal burrows the accumulation of trash or debris and inlet
failure due to blockage.
Grass-lined Swale
Presence of trash and/or plant debris
Presence of holes, ruts or animal burrows
Condition of low-flow outfall locations
Condition of filtering grass / groundcover
Condition of swale bed and embankments
Level of captured sediment (less than '/2")
Condition of concrete apron
Check irrigation system for function, coverage & overspray
Sweep interior drive aisles, parking stalls and flatwork
It is the responsibility of the Owner/Designated Responsible Party to complete the
inspection checklist by performing field observations that will determine the condition of
the checklist items and to assign directed corrective maintenance.
Maintenance items that arise but do not appear on the list of routine maintenance
activities shall be categorized as Non-routine maintenance operations. A written
description of non-routine activities shall be completed at the bottom of the Inspection
Checklist or as an attachment thereof.
In addition, the inspecting party shall confirm, by field observation, that all corrective
maintenance directives have been completed in a timely fashion, and in particular, prior
to October 1st, the official start of the rainy season and shall indicate, by signature, the
satisfactory completion thereof.
The completed and signed checklist shall constitute an inspection record. Inspection
records shall be maintained for a period of at least 5 years. An inspection check list is
included as part of this plan as Appendix III.
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Catlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
5.3 Maintenance
Structural BMP maintenance may be categorized as routine and non-routine maintenance
operations. Routine maintenance operations are generally preventative measures, while
non-routine maintenance activities tend to be corrective in nature. Routine maintenance
may be characterized as "good housekeeping" and to a great extent is simply the removal
of debris before it has an opportunity to enter the storm drain system.
The Darwin Glentreatment BMPs are an integral part of the site landscape and therefore,
shall receive regularly scheduled maintenance (every 2-4 weeks) as part of the overall
landscape upkeep. Maintenance crews must pay particular attention to the use of
fertilizers and pesticides to avoid excessive application and/or possible introduction to
runoff. Routine maintenance of the structural BMPs will consist of the following:
Grass-lined Swale
Weed, debris & trash removal
Check for holes, ruts or animal burrows
Check condition of low-flow outfall location
Trim/mow filtering grass/groundcover
Check condition swale bed and embankments
Check condition of Gravel Outfall, downstream of weir
Remove captured sediment greater than 'A" deep
Maintain clear low-flow inlet openings
Replant/reseed as necessary to maintain coverage
Check irrigation system for function, coverage and overspray
Drive Aisle, Parking Stalls & Interior Sidewalks
Weed, debris & trash removal
Sweeping
Landscape and Irrigation
Weed, debris & trash removal
Replant/reseed as necessary to maintain coverage
Check irrigation for function, coverage and overspray
A list of routine maintenance activities is included as part of this Plan and may be found
in Appendix II. The list itemizes specific activities and the frequency thereof. It is the
responsibility of the Owner to provide the maintenance contractor with the list of routine
maintenance activities. The Owner and contractor shall sign the list of routine
maintenance activity as an acknowledgement of receipt. Contractor billing activity shall
provide a record of scheduled maintenance frequency. Maintenance records shall be kept
on file for 5 years.
Operation & Maintenance Plan for:
1265 Carlsbad Village Drive Buccola Engineering, Inc.
5.3 Maintenance (continued)
The results of an inspection may deem that one or more the features of a structural BMP
may require refitting, rehabilitation or replacement to maintain correct operation. These
types of corrective action are not part of regularly scheduled maintenance and are
categorized as non-routine maintenance activities. Specific examples of non-routine
maintenance activities associated with the selected BMPs include:
Aeration of filtering grass
Removal of sod, tilling of topsoil and replacement of grass
Repair of low-flow inlet structures
. Cleaning of low-flow pipe(s)
Reconstruction of swale bed and/or embankments
Reconstruction or repair to swale irrigation system
Repair or replacement of signage/stencils
Non-routine maintenance operations are not specifically itemized on the inspection
checklist or in Section 5.2. Provision is made for recordation of non-routine maintenance
operations on the bottom of the inspection record located in Appendix III. Records of
non-routine maintenance activities shall be maintained for a period of at least 5 years.
Should the Owner encounter site conditions that require corrective action, which appear
to be beyond his or her level of training or expertise, it is the recommendation of this
manual that the Owner contact the City of Carlsbad, Engineering Department at (760)
602-2720.

6.0 Summary and Conclusion
This O&M Plan has been prepared in accordance with the City of Carlsbad SUSMP and
is intended to provide the Designated Responsible Party with minimum guidelines to
establish an effective O&M schedule and system for recording such activities.
This Plan recommends that the Designate Responsible Party become familiar with the
approved SWMP for the subject project. The SWMP describes the intent, structure and
function of the site design, source control and structural BMPs and is the basis for the
development of this O&M Plan. A copy of the approved SWMP is available for review
at the City of Carlsbad, Engineering counter.
This plan also suggests that the Designated Responsible Party refer to the City of
Carlsbad SUSMP for information regarding BMPs, definitions, general categories of
water pollution and additional information resources. Copies of the SUSMP are available
at the City of Carlsbad Engineering counter or on the web at
www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us/cseerv/4susmp.html.
It is possible that as Best Available Technologies (BATs) improve and the Regional
Water Quality Control Board enacts more stringent water quality standards, that the
structural BMPs may require upgrades or other improvements to improve pollutant
removal efficiency.
The proper and diligent implementation of an effective O&M Plan will help to keep
maintenance costs in check, insure the proper function of the structural BMPs and protect
water quality to the maximum extent practicable.
