Subject: Request for Coastal Development Permit Exemption Regarding
Proposed Best Management Practices to be Deployed Within Existing
Caltrans Right-of-Way
Dear Mr. Holzmiller:
As a result of litigation between Caltrans, the National Resources Defense Council
(NRDC), the U.S. EPA and the San Diego Baykeeper, as additional Plaintiffs, a Consent
Decree in District 11 (San Diego) was reached outlining the development of a Best
Management Practice (BMP) Retrofit Pilot Program. The BMP Retrofit Pilot Program
includes the design, construction and monitoring of BMP pilot projects within the
urbanized areas of San Diego County. The types of proposed BMP pilot projects within
the District include extended detention basins, infiltration basins, biofiltration
strips/swales, a wet basin, trapping catch basins, catch basin inserts, multi-chambered
treatment train (MCTT), infiltration trenches, biofilters, oil/water separator and media
filter.
Three types of these BMPs (infiltration trench, infiltration basin, and media filter) will be
located within Caltrans right-of-way at four locations within the City of Carlsbad. These
four locations fall under the jurisdiction of your Local Coastal Plan. Based on
conversations with your staff, Caltrans would like to seek, if possible, a waiver (or
exemption) to the requirements associated with a Coastal Development Permit.
Please note that Caltrans has determined that these four sites are categorically exempt
(Class 1, Section 15301(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines). For your information I have
attached information on each of the four project sites that your staff has requested.

Infiltration Trench: Carlsbad Caltrans Maintenance Station
Project Estimated Cost: $116,000
Referred to as Site #3 in the Overall Study
Project Location: The Carlsbad Maintenance Station is located in the City of Carlsbad,
one block south of Palomar Airport Road at 6050 Paseo Del Norte. The site is bounded
by Paseo Del Norte to the west and commercial and industrial uses to the south, east and
north.
Project Description: The site includes a vehicle maintenance shop, fueling island, wash
rack and storage areas for maintenance equipment and supplies. Site drainage is sheet
flow to concrete swales and gutters, concentrating along a gutter in the entrance drive to
the station and ultimately discharging to Paseo Del Norte. An infiltration trench and
biofiltration filter strip will be installed along the southern boundary of the site (refer to
the attached Preliminary Concept Map). Inflow monitoring, infiltration trench outflow
monitoring and biofiltration outflow monitoring will be provided using automated
equipment. The tributary areas for the infiltration trench and the bio-filter strip are 1.72
acres and 0.66 acres, respectively. The design storm runoff of approximately 1.60 for the
infiltration trench is conveyed by the proposed concrete swale and routed through the
BMP trench. The infiltration trench BMP is sized to contain the total design storm
volume of 83.3m3. The existing concrete gutter, AC paving and AC berm will be
removed in the southern portion of the maintenance yard, east of the entrance road. An
existing AC structural section will be removed and reconstructed in this area as well.
A type A2 curb and gutter will be installed along the existing landscaped hump west of
the proposed BMPs. A concrete gutter with a level spreader and a root barrier will be
installed adjacent to an existing palm tree west of and adjacent to the proposed BMPs.
Runoff will be directed in a southwest direction across the project site to the biofiltration
filter strip and infiltration trench, where it will be processed and discharged into a
permanent overflow channel and out to Paseo Del Norte. The site proposed for
installation of the BMPs is currently paved.
Infiltration Trench (Biofiltration Swale): Interstate 5 South/Palomar Airport Road
Project Estimated Cost: $64,000
Referred to as Site #4 in the Overall Study
Project Location: The project site is located along the 1-5 southbound shoulder, north of
the southbound I-5/Palomar Airport Road offramp. The proposed location for the
biofiltration swale is along the area of Caltrans right-of-way parallel to the 1-5 freeway
shoulder.
Mr. Michael Holzmiller
Page 4
August 6, 1998
Project Description: The area contains a longitudinal slope of approximately 1 to 2
percent and a cross slope of 2 percent. The site receives approximately 2.32 acres (0.92
hectares) of runoff from the 1-5 southbound mainline. The site currently consists of a 30-
foot shoulder, which drains freeway runoff via sheet flow to an adjacent frontage road
storm drain. A biofiltration swale will be installed along a portion of the shoulder (refer
to the attached plan). The biofilter swale will be a trapezoidal-shaped channel with 2:1
side slopes. The channel will be lined with grass using a hydroseed mix. Outflow
monitoring will be provided at both ends of the swale. A 450 millimeter outflow pipe
will be installed at the southern end of the swale. A 2-meter-wide by 0.15-meter-deep
AC north of the biofiltration swale will be provided to direct runoff to the swale.
Excavating during construction may include brushing existing vegetation and minimal
excavating. Shallow groundwater should not be a problem during construction. Since
the proposed BMP site is located adjacent to Interstate 5, the bio-filter swale was
designed in such a manner that it will not pose any significant hazard to the driving
public. The site is characterized by non-native eucalyptus trees, grasses, and small
plants, none of which appear to be unique or of significant habitat value.
Infiltration Basin: Interstate 5/La Costa Boulevard
Project Estimated Cost: $242,000
Referred to as Site #6 in the Overall Study
Project Location: The proposal site is located along the shoulder of the 1-5 southbound
offramp at La Costa Avenue, in the City of Carlsbad. The site is located in a basin south
of the Batiquitos Lagoon. The site is bounded by a gas station to the south, a hillside
residential area to the west, Batiquitos Lagoon to the north, and southbound 1-5 and the
southbound 1-5 offramp to La Costa Avenue to the east.
Project Description: The site receives approximately 5.5 acres (2.2 hectares) of
drainage area from 1-5, the southbound offramp at La Costa Boulevard and some adjacent
slope areas. Drainage flows from the 1-5 southbound to an existing overside drainage
inlet. Runoff from the offramp also flows through this overside drain. An earthern swale
will be constructed to direct runoff flows to the proposed infiltration basin. The basin
was designed as an offline facility to capture the tributary watershed for water quality
purposes. The rim of the basin has been set at the 1-year, 24-hour storage elevation.
Ground stabilization will be provided on the grassy area south of the proposed infiltration
basin. The infiltration basin will include a concrete headwall with RSP (refer to attached
plan). A maintenance access road will be constructed between the southbound 1-5
offramp and infiltration basin. Discharge from the basin at high flows will exit into an
existing open channel to the shore of the Batiquitos Lagoon.
The southern portion of the site is characterized by several grasses, brush, and scattered
palm and eucalyptus frees, none of which appear to be unique or of significant habitat
value. JNE (a biological consultant) and RBF determined the presence of wetlands areas
north of the proposed infiltration basin and southwest of and adjacent to the existing start

of the 1-5 southbound off-ramp at La Costa Avenue. The proposed improvements will
not impact these areas.
Media Filter: La Costa Park and Ride
Project Estimated Cost: $133,000
Referred to as Site #9 in the Overall Study
Project Location: The La Costa Park and Ride is located just east of southbound 1-5 and
south of La Costa Avenue in the City of Carlsbad. The facility is located in a grassy area
by an existing catch basin.
Project Description: The project consists of a media sand filter structure located within
the La Costa Park and Ride area (refer to the attached plan). The facility is located in a
grassy area along an approximately 15 foot (4.6 meter) high, 2:1 horizontal to vertical
slope adjacent to Batiquitos Lagoon and by an existing catch basin. This site is on a
possible fill brought up to grade to construct the parking area. Approximately 2.78 acres
of paved area drains into the proposed facility. The total design flow for the 1-year storm
event is 2.3 cfs. In order to avoid construction within the Batiquitos Lagoon, an inlet
channel was designed to intercept and convey the design storm flows. Storm flows
greater than the 10 year storm event will flow into the proposed overflow channel and
will be discharged into the existing drainage culvert. In order to provide positive
drainage towards the proposed inlet channel, pavement reconstruction will be performed
immediately adjacent to the media sand filter site. Storm water samples will be taken
using automated equipment at both the inflow and outflow points of the facility. During
construction, there will be minimal excavating. Excavating is expected to consist of
brushing existing vegetation and excavating a small pit. Shallow ground water is not
anticipated to be a problem during construction. The project will require the removal of
three existing non-native trees.

PARKING DESCRIPTION: Parking can be achieved along
the 1-5 southbound shoulder just prior to the Palomar Airport
Road off-ramp. Parking should be in conformance with provi-
sions oulined within Chapter 5 of the Caltrans Traffic Manual.
Access to the area can be achieved from the 1-5 southbound
shoulder.r
LOCATION DESCRIPTION: The site is located along the 1-5
southbound shoulder, north of the southbound, 1-5 Palomar Airport
Road off-ramp. The location for the biofiltration swale is along the
area of Caltrans right-of-way parallel to the 1-5 freeway shoulder.
