Mr. Gary E. Wayne
Assistant Planning Director

2075 Las Palmas Drive
Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576
Dear Mr. Wayne:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is proposing to construct a wet
basin along Interstate 5 at the northbound off-ramp to La Costa Avenue. This basin is
part of the Best Management Practice Retrofit Pilot Program.
The purpose of the wet basin is to remove sediment, organic nutrients, particulate trace
metals, and oxygen-demanding particles from storm water runoff. The wet basin is similar
to a dry basin, except that a permanent volume of water is incorporated into the design.
Biological processes occurring in the basin aid in reducing the amount of soluble nutrients
present in water.
The basin site is an upland area predominately non-native grasses, eucalyptus trees,
lemonade berry (Rhus integrifolia), and various upland flowering plant species. A
concrete lined drain is east of the basin site. This site does not provide habitat for any
plant or animal species of concern. To minimize any short-term impacts to any species in
the area, all equipment will be confined to the minimum area necessary for construction of
the wet basin.
Construction is to begin on 29 March 1999 and completion is anticipated 31 May 1999.
The cost of this project is $685,000.
This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301c of the State CEQA
Guidelines.
Sincerely,
CID TESORO
NPDES/Storm Water Compliance Program Manager

CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION DETERMINATION
BMP RETROFIT PILOT PROGRAM LOCATION: La Costa Wet Basin: 1-5 NB Off-Ramp at La Costa Avenue.
DISTRICT: 11
PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE: (Briefly describe proposal, purpose, location, and limits, right of
way requirement, and any changes In access control.)
As a result of litigation between Caltrans and (he National Resources Defense Council, a Concent Decree was
reached outlining the development of a Best Management Practice (BMP) Retrofit Pilot Program In Caltrans
District 11. One of the types of BMPs to be evaluated are wet basins. The wet basin site is located within the
area created by Piraeus Street to the east; La Costa Avenue to the north; and the northbound off-ramp from I-5
at La Costa Avenue to the west. The site may be accessed from La Costa Avenue. The project involves the
installation of a wet basin, which will utiltee flows from an existing concrete lined trapezoidal channel and V-
ditch. The wet basin will also use riparian type species.
The proposed facility will evaluate the removal of both soluble and small participate constituents from storm
water runoff. All facility construction will occur within Caltrans right-of-way, Project implementation will not
affect access control to existing facilities.
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION (CEQA) - See attached Preliminary Environmental Studies form for
additional discussion.
1, Does this project fall within exempt class 1,3,4, 5,6, or 11, and might it impact on an
environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely
mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law? No
2. Will there be a significant cumulative impact by this project and successive
projects of the same type in the same place, over time? No
3. Is there a reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect
on the environment due to unusual circumstances? No
4, Does the project damage a scenic resource within a designated state scenic highway or,
if within exempt Class I, involves the removal of a scenic resource? No
CALTRANS DETERMINATION
Based on an examination of this proposal and the above statements, it is determined that the project Is:
X Categorically exempt. Class 1 Section 15301(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
_ Categorically exempt. General rule exemption. This project does not fall within an
exempt class, but it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a
significant effect on the environment.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES FORM
BMP Retrofit Pilot Program: La Costa Wet Basin: 1-5 NB Off-Ramp at La Costa Boulevard
District: , ^ 11
Project Location: The project site is located within the area created by Piraeus Street to the cast; La Costa
Avenue to the north; and the northbound off-ramp from 1-5 at La Costa Avenue to the
west. No major structures are located within the vicinity of the proposed wet basin.
Project Description: The tributary drainage area to the proposed wet basin site is approximately six (6) acres t
of the 1-5 southbound area and approximately 140 acres of offsite area; 80 acres of an
off-site residential area and 6 acres of 1-5 northbound runoff area. The existing
drainage system consists of an existing trapezoidal channel and one v-ditch inlet. The
wet basin will utilize flows from this existing trapezoidal channel (refer to the attached
plan). The site supports non-native grasses, eucalyptus trees, lemonade berry, and
various upland flowering plant species. These biological resources do not have a
significant habitat value. In addition, the site does not provide habitat for any plant or
animal species of concern (refer to the attached biological letter report prepared by JNE
& Associates). Archaeological resources will not be impacted since the project area
has been substantially disturbed by prior grading and construction activity for existing
Caltrans facilities.
