EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to present state-of-the-art information
~egarding oxidation ditch plant design, costs, operation, performance, and
reliability. This information is used to compare oxidation ditch plants
to other competing biological. processes. Design criteria and operational
conditions necessary to maximize single stage nitrification and total
nitrogen removals in oxidation ditch plants is also presented. Costs of
competing nitrification and nitrogen removal processes are compared to
those developed for oxidation ditch plants.
DESIGN F~ATURES OF OXIDATION DITCH ~LANTS
An oxidation ditch plant is typically an extended aeration type of
activated sludge process that uses a continuously recirculating·closed
loop channel or channels as an aeration basin. The aeration basin is
no~ally ?ized for a 247hour hydra~lic retention time, put may. be designed
for any other detention time. Mechanical aerators-are commonly ~sed· for
mixing, oxygen supply, and for circulation of mixed liquor.· Generally,
these_ are horizontal prush, cage, or disc":"tYPe.aerators designed speci-
fically for oxidation ditch plants. Secondary clarifiers similar to
those-used in other activated sludge processes are normally provided.
Primary clarification is not usually included in oxidation ditch plant
design.
The typical oxidation ditch aeration basin is a single channel or
multiple interconnected concentric channels. An oxidation ditch plant
·normally consists of one or more basins of either type operated in paral-
lel depending on the flow and operation mode required. Channel geometry
can vary to include many possible configurations, however, the oval
configuration is the most common. The multiple concentric channel bas:tn
can have any number of interconnected channels with three to five being
typical and provides some process flexibility since it can be changed to
other activated sludge modes with minor modification. Typically, the
outer channel is used for aerobic digestion of the waste activated sludge.
Shallow channels are typically four to six feet deep with 45 degree
sloping sid~ walls. Deep channels have vertical side walls and are normally
10-12 feet deep. The channels are usually lined to prevent erosion and
leakage. Ditch lining can be reinforced conGrete, gunite, asphalt, or thin
membranes. Typically, shallow channels with sloped side walls are con-
structed of concrete poured against earth backing with welded wire mesh
reinforcing. Deep vertical wall channels require reinforced concrete walls •
. iv
Several manufacturers supply oxidation ditch brush or disc type
mechanical aerators. These units may be either fixed or floating. The
aerators normally span the channel width and may be installed in one or
more locations around the ·channel. T'ne aerators must supply the required
oxygen to the channel and impart a sufficient velocity in the channel
(>1.0 FPS) to keep the channel contents in suspension. Oxygen transfer
capabilities of an aerator will vary depending on the particular design,
rotational speed and submergence. Most units operate in the range of 60 RPM
to 110 RPM with a submergence of 2 to 12 inches and produce oxygen trans-
fer rates of from 3 to 5 lbs of oxygen per hour. The number of aerators
provided depends on the size, configuration and oxygen requirements of the
plant. A minimum of two aerators should be installed so that at least
partial aeration can be provided when problems occur.
Generally, final clarifier design is consistent with other activated
sludge processes. A surface overflow rate of 400 to 500 gpd/sq ft is recom-
mended for average daily flows and 1000 to 1200 gpd/sq ft at peak flows.
Hany plants are constructed with 8 foot deep clarifiers, but depths of
10 to 14 feet provide greater process reliability.

An oxidation ditch plant is capable of 95% to 99% nitrification with-
out design modifications. This high degree of nitrification even at waste-
water temperatures approaching 0°C is possible due to the 24-hour hydraulic
retention time in the channel(s) and the capability of operating at a h~gn
solids retention time (SRT) of 10 to greater than 50 days.
Nitrogen removal by single-stage biological nitrification-denitrifica-
·tion has also been achieved at properly designed and well operated
vi
I '
oxidation ditch plants. Nitrogen removal is achieved by producing both
aerobic and anoxic zones within the same channel. These zones are created
by controlling the aerator oxygen transfer rate so that mixed liquor dis-
solved oxygen is depleted within a portion of the aeration channel.
The carbon source for the anoxic zone {denitrification) is provided by
feeding the raw sewage into the channel upstream of the anoxic zone. With
careful operation, 80% nitrogen removal has been achieved in a single
channel oxidation ditch plant.
OXIDATION DITCH PLANT OPERATION
Oxidation ditch plants can be operated by average perso~nel to produce
above average performance results. Assuming no mechanical malfunction, oxi-
dation ditch plants are capable of performing well for several days at a
time with minimal operator attention.
Waste activated sludge handling requirements depend on the plant de-
sign and operation. Plants operated with a 24-hour channel hydraulic
retention time at 20 to 30 day SRT produce a biologically stable waste
sludge th·a.t can be· handled witliout caus.ing sign.lficartt odor problems. Plants
operated with 6 to 8 hour" channel hydraulic retention time and less than 10
day SRT require additional; sludge treatment, typically aerobic digestion.
Some problems have been noted in dewatering activated sludge directly on
sand beds from plants operated at a 24-hour hydraulic retention time.
These sludges tenet ~0 dewater v~ry slow.Ly requi;ring significantly increased
sludge drying bed area. In areas where wet and cold weather are c~nun6n·,
sludge drying bed area should be even larger. Some plants are operated in-
definitely without formal sludge wasting allowing solids to build up in the
aeration channel. This type of operation is considered marginal because
the plant is prone to periodic clarifier upsets resulting in high final
effluent solids.
Aerators· and drives have typically required major corrective mainten-
ance every 2-5 years for the following type problems.
1. Bearing and seal failure due to improper selection, constant
water splashing on the bearings and seals, and settlement of the
aerator support structure causing misalignment.
2. Loss of aerator elements due to corrosion.
3. Aerator torque tube failure or excessive deflection of very long
units.
CO~~ARATIVE COSTS
Costs associated with oxidation ditch plants were determined. Con-
struction costs for 44 plants were escalated by EPA Treatment Plant Index
262.3 for the third quarter of 1976. These costs include all facilities
except land, engineering, legal and financing during construction. Annual

0 & M costs include labor, utilities, chemicals, maintenance materials, and
miscellaneous. These costs are as follows:

. of 0.01 to 0.1 mgd the total annual costs for extended aeration package
plants was less than for oxidation ditch plants. The total annual costs
for all competing denitrification processes were higher than for oxidation
ditch plants.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study show that oxidation ditch plants are capable
of consistently achieving high levels of BOD and TSS removals with
minimum operation. High levels of nitrifica~ion (95%-99%) are possible
with proper operation. Nitrogen removals as high as 80% can be achieved in
a single channel plant with careful operation of the aeration equipment to
produce aerobic and anoxic zones within the channel. Increased operator
attention is required to produce the high levels of nitrogen removal.
Cost data developed in this report show that oxidation ditch plants
are competitive with o~~er biological processes. Total annual costs for
oxidation ditch plants were less than for all competing biological

processes within the flow range of 0.1 to 10 mgd. Oxidation ditch plants
were also shown to have lower total annual costs than competing biological
and physical-chemical nitrogen removal processes.

FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director
SUBJECT: REVISED CONDITIONS FOR LAKE CALAVERA HILLS
PRECISE DEVELOPt1ENT PLAN.
Subsequent to the City Council meeting of June 19, 1979, staff
has reviewed not only those conditions which were identified as
Council concerns (specifically #9, #14, #17), but other
conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolution #1525.
As indicated at the City Council meeting, staf£ ~id have concerns
about the three conditions specified. We have subsequently
further analyzed and studied each condition.
This report is to attempt to share our thought p=ocesses with
the Council and to present, as objectively as possible, our
findings and conclusions on particular conditions.
We will address those·conditions of stated Council concern and
additional amended conditions by staff in numerical order, which
will include all conditions changed in any way from the Planning
Commission resolution. . •.
Condition #1. Staff has revised Exhibit G, now dated 6/22/79, as
referenced in condition #1, now containing descriptions of the
entire proposed development as conditioned in Resolution #1525.
(Ron Beckman has prepared a cover sheet and his rewritten Exhibit G)
Condition #5. Revised to specifically identify plans to be approved
by the Planning Commission prior to any construction of the
project. The plans are identified as those relating directly
to the water reclamation system.
Condition #7. Modified for clarity with no intent to change the
neaning of the condition. The proposed users of the treatment
plant must submit a plan guaranteeing the method of utilization
of the reclaimed water.
Condition #8. Modified for clarity to establish that the Planning
Director clearly has the authority to review and approve plans as
required by Condition #7.
Condition #9. This condition has been split into two parts,
(a) and (b).
(a) Essentially reiterates the original intent of condition #9
by-clearly identifying the applicant's responsibility, as to
-1-
c
the construction of a water reclamation system and appropriate
appurtenances from the alternate recharge basins located in the
Agua Hedionda drainage basin, including the acquisition of any
land or easement necessary for the construction of a water
reclamation system. This requirement is contingent on the City
Council's determination that said recharge basins are preferrable
to an effluent fail safe line to the Encina outfall as is refer-
enced in Condition #11.
This condition also addresses that the City Council may enter
into a reimbursement agreement with the applicant so that those
using any oversizing of the facility required by this condition,
will pay for their fair share. It should be noted, however,
that the condition does not establish as a City responsibility,
any assistance to the applicant in the• carrying out of this con-
dition if a privately negotiated agreement cannot be reached
with the owners of the other involved properties.
Therefore, the question before the City Council is two-fold.
First, since new City Council policy is not to allow a satellite
sewer treatment plant independent of reclamation system, the
issue becomes one of whether or not the City wishes to modify
that policy to allow a fail safe line for a po~tion of a satellite
sewage facility, i.e. only 500,000 capacity per day can be handled
in the recharge basin.under the control of the applicant in Lake
Calavera Hills. Therefore there is a need for an additional
700,000 per day to either be placed in a recharge basin for even-
tual reuse, or transported to Encina outfall for disposal. If
it is Council's intent to build a plant of 1.2 mgd capacity, we
are then faced with having to impliment a proposal for the remain-
ing 700,000 gallons per day. To reiterate the situation as staff
sees it, if the City wishes to go ahead with a policy of full
reclamation as they have indicated by previous policy and in
carrying out this policy, place a condition of the developer of
this proposed project, the question remains that if the developer
can't perform because of a refusal to negotiate on the part of
a third party, what is the Council's intent in terms of City
responsibility for carrying out of this condition.
(b) Simply indicates that since such proposed reclamation facility
within the Agua Hedionda basin has not been reviewed by the
Planning Commission, that prior to commencement of any activity
on the site, a Conditional Use Permit must be approved by the
Planning Commission.
Condition #10. Has been modified for clarity indicating that
those appurtenances for reclamation that are not included for
approval in the application, shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission to determine if those appurtenances will have a sign-
ificant adverse effect on surrounding property. If the Planning
Commission decides that such appurtenances may have a significant
effect, a CUP will be required and said CUP shall contain con-
ditions to mitigate potential significant adverse effects.
-2-
Condition #11. ~s been broken down into t;Jparts.
(a) Essentially establishes that the applicant is responsible for
constructing a disposable effluent fail safe system and clarifying
the identity of that system as \vell as indicating that the City
Council may enter into a reimbursement agreement with the applicant
to establish fair share contribution.
(b) Establishes that the City Council shall determine whether a
fail safe system as specified in Condition #9 shall be a recharge
system or a fail safe line to the outfall line, at the earliest
possible time.
Condition #13. Expanded slightly for clarification, indicating
that a reimbursement agreement must be completed and accepted by
the City Council prior to any application for discretionary ap-
provals may be submitted in the drainage basin.
Condition #14. v'Ihile the staff fully understar.C..:; this condition
and its importance to both the City and develope:-, v1e cannot agree
that this applicaton should have conditions that cannot truly
be complied with, without amending the City's Planning and
Building Moratorium Ordinance. A Growth Management work program
for the entire City has been requested by Council and will be
before the Council in the near future. The implementation of an
approved Growth Management Plan will be through the City's
Zoning Ordinance. The Council has commenced the growth manage-
ment process. It's reasonable to expect a sewer allocation
system may be developed in the interim, pending the full develop-
ment and adoption of a citywide growth management prograll!.· A
citywide growth management plan could take anywhere from .. 6 months
to a year to be developed and adopted by the City.
There is a strong probability the Calavera Hills satellite plant
will be completed and certified for operation in the interim.
The question before the City Council, then, is not to develop an
instant Growth Management Plan, but in the interim do you wish
to forward any development in the Agua Hedionda basin to go forward?
If it is the Council's desire to wait for a Growth Management Plan,
then the City Council may wish that appropriate City resources
should be freed from other activities to concentrate on that
project. If that is Council's intent, consideration should be
given to controlling all growth within the City until the Growth
Nanagement Plan is adopted.
Another Council opetion is to allow a specific number of projects
to go forward at this time, but do not allow any processing of new
projects until the Growth Management Plan is adopted. This would
allow the following projects to proceed:
Lake Calavera
Palisade
Quail Ridge

'-' "-"'
Condition #17. r.iodified by staff to essentially indicate that the
developer shall be subject to all existing or future ordinances
regarding sewer allocations, permit issuance, and acceptance of
applications for discretionary approval. Staff is recommending
these changes because after review of the condition, it is our
position that it would be improper to establish a secondary
mechanism to control building permit and discretionary approvals
when existing interim ordinances already address this matter._
Council action, in staff's opinion, should be on a citywide
basis, rather than for a specific basin or development proposal.
The current ordinances have been adequate to this time. The
staff, with Council knowledge, has exercised the existing interim
ordinance to allow accepting plans for discretionary planning
actions and applications for building permits within the Leucadia
County Water District area on the basis of a letter of assurance
from the Leucadia County Water District indicating when sewer will
be available.
If Council is satisfied with the ordinances being adequate for
the City in general, no further action need be ~aken. If it is
Council's desire to allow construction to commence at an earlier
time than the development process as allowed by ordinance, then
it would be appropriate for the Council to instr~ct staff to
prepare appropriate a~endments to the ordinance to allow that to
happen, i.e., if the City Council should conclude that once an
agreement and contract for a satellite plant has been finalized
that building permit applications may be accepted. This could
be handled similar to the Leucadia reactivation. In orde-r to
issue building permits prior to certification, it would be
appropriate to ask staff to prepare an amendment to the ordinance
to carry out the Council's intent. This may apply to only those
previously approved tentative tracts.
Condition #18. For clarity this condition has been changed to
require the CC&Rs to be acceptable to the City.
Condition #30. Revised per Councilman Anear's request.
Condition #42. As a recommended additional condition tying
approval of the Precise Development Plan to the effective date
of Zone Change 203.

CITY COUNCIL POLICIES ON CALAVERA HILLS WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT
The Carlsbad City Council has approved the following new City
policies in their consideration of the Calavera Hills treatment
plant. I have listed the policies in two groups, the first being
those policies applying to the City generally· and-the second
being those policies related directly to the pro?osed Calavera
Hills was-tewater treatment plant.
A) City Wide Policies:
1. It is the City Council policy and dete=mination that a
satellite treatment facility is accep~able in the north-
east drainage basin of the City.
2. The City Council has determined that no wastewater
facility will be considered by this Council unless it
is also designed to be used for water reclamation.
3. The City Council has determined that it-is necessary to
develop a city wide reclamation policy including the
principle uses of reclaimed water and has requested City
staff to develop a work program for a reclamation policy.
4. City Council has requested City staff to prepare a work
program for agricultural land preservation for the City.
5. City Council requested staff to prepare a work program
providing for mitigation of growth inducing aspects
considered in the Montgomery report as follows:
a) Public facilities element and capital improvement
program.
b) Mandated General Plan review every three years.
c) Urban land reserve program.
d) Grm,7::h :noni taring program.
e) Specific Plan for special treatment areas.
f) Wo~·k plan which includes a City grmvth management
program.

B) Determinations directly related to Calavera Hills:
1. City Council indicated a preference for the alternate
site 3-B identified in the Montgomery Report.
2. City Council indicated desire to review pump station
sites along with the treatment facilities for environ-
mental considerations.
3. City Council accepted the percolation beds contained in
the Montgomery Report and indicated their desire to study
and analyze potential recharge areas near Rancho Carlsbad
l1obile Horne Park.
4. City Council determined that additional failsafe lines
beyond the normal back-up systems to b~ built into the
plant not be included for raw sewage a=d further deter-
mined it would delay a decision on an e::fluent failsafe
system until an overall Master Plan of satellite treatment
plants has been adopted by the Council. ·.
5. City Council determined that a 1.2 rngd plant will be built
initially at the Lake Calavera Hills site.
6. City Council determined that the financing for the plant
will be provided by the developer and that the developer
and staff shall enter into negotiations which will,
hopefully, require a minimum of reimbursement and City
involvement in the financial aspects of the project.
When staff and developer complete their negotiations, they
shall return to the City Council for their approval.
7. City Council determined that the City will maintain and
operate the plant after completion.

April 11, 1979, for the percolation ponds; except for modifi-
cations and necessary back-up systems not affecting the plant's
operational efficiency that are approved by the Public 'VJorks
Administrator.
2. In addition to the approval of the development indicated in
the exhibits noted above, all other requirements and appur-
tenances as listed in this approval shall be indicated on
the final Precise Development Plan.
TREATMENT PLANT
3. The proposed treatment plant shall be constructed in one
phase as a 1.2 mgd capacity plant with percolation ponds,
effluent lines to serve ponds, and all other appurtenances
necessary to operate the treatment plant.

as part of this project.
RECLAMATION
5. All wells, pumps, check dams and other appurtenances necessary
to reclaim water from the recharge basins, which basins are de-
scribed in Exhibit E, shall be constructed as part of this
project. Plans for the water reclamation system shall be
submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission prior to
commencement of any grading, construction, or the placing of
any equipment for the project.
6. All effluent from the treatment plant shall be reclaimed and
utilized for replacement of existing or planned potable water
(Type I). The amount of sewer capacity allocated to future
developments shall be limited to the amount of reclaimed
water that can be guaranteed for use by the applicant for such
development.
7. All proposed uses of the treatment plant shall prepare and
provide a plan acceptable to the City establishing and guaran-
teeing a method to utilize any reclaimed water prior to any
approval of their project. The reclaimed water may be
applied to native vegetation or areas where there are
no existing or planned potable water uses. As a guide
for determining the acreage of land necessary to utilize
the reclaimed water, the ratio of gallons of water to
acres of land should be as follows:
3,000 gallons to one acre of agricultural land, or
800 gallons to one acre of landscaped land.
This ratio may be adjusted by the Planning Director to
accommodate particular locations, soil types and plants.
8. Any plan required by Condition No. 7 shall be submitted to the
Planning Director for approval. Approval of the plan by
the Planning Director shall constitute acceptance of the
plan by the City. In approving the plan, the Planning
Director shall rive primary consideration to systems where
the land using the reclaimed water is either near the recharge
basin or served by gravity flow from the water reclamation
system, in order to conserve energy required for pumping.
9(a) The applicant shall be responsible for the construction of a
water reclamation system consisting of mains, wells, pumps,
check dams and all other anpurtenances necessary to reclaim
water from alternative recharge basins located in the Agua
Hedionda drainage basin. The applicant shall also be respon-
sible for the acauisition of any land or easements necessary
for the construction of said water reclamation svstem. The
applicant's responsibilities, pursuant to this section, shall
be contingent upon the City Council determining that these
recharge basins are preferrable in lieu of an effluent fail-
safe line. Otherwise, the applicant shall provide an effluent
fail-safe system as required by Condition No. 11 herein. The
City Council may enter into a reimbursement agreement with the
applicant so that those using any oversizing required by this
condition will pay their fair share.
9(b) Plans for this facility shall be approved by the Planning
Commission by a condition use permit prior to any grading,
construction or placing of any equipment.
10. Any appurtenances necessary for reclamation, storage, or use
of the plant effluent, but not included for approval in this
application, shall be subject to Planninf Commission review
and approval. At the time of review the Planning Commission
shall determine if such appurtenances will have a significant
adverse effect on surrounding property. If it is determined
that the appurtenances may have a significant adverse
effect a conditional use permit shall be required. Such
conditional use permit shall contain conditions sufficient
to mitigate any such potential significant adverse effect.
ll(a) The applicant shall be responsible for construction of a
disposable effluent fail-safe system. "Responsible for con-
struction" shall include providing all necessarv easements
and payment of all costs necessary for said fail-safe
system. The City Council may enter into a reimbursement
agreement with the applicant so that those using any oversizing
required by this condition will pay their fair share. The
applicant's responsibility under this condition shall be deemed
fulfilled if the system specified in Condition 9 herein is built.
ll(b) The City Council shall determine whether the system specified
in Condition 9 shall be built in lieu of an effluent fail-
safe line at the earliest reasonable time but no later than
prior to the City's acceptance of any portion of the treat-
ment facility.

FROM: Planning Department
•'
CASE NO: Supplemental Report PDP-2
REQUEST: PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR A 1.2 MGD OXIDATION
DITCH WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY, INCLUDING
EFFLUENT LINE AND PERCOLATION PONDS.
APPLICANT: LAKE CALAVERA HILLS ASSOCIATES
HISTORY
The Planning Commission heard this item on AF=il 11, 1979, along
with ZC-203, a request to rezone the site to P-U. The Planning
Commission approved ZC-203, but continued PD?-2 until April 25,
1979. Prior to the April 25th meeting, the Ci~y Council decided
to review the major policy issues contained i~ the project report
and EIR of this case. The Planning Commission therefore continued
the item to May 23, 1979, with a provision that it would be
further continued if the City Council did not conclude their
discussion by May 8. Since the City Council finished discussion
on May 15, the Planning Commission continued the PDP-2 action to
June 4, 1979.
ISSUES
To understand the issues involved staff prepared a list of issues
and staff response (dated April 27, 1979). From this the City
Council further defined areas they wished to discuss. From
these two lists the City Council explored the many issues involved
with the sewer plant as prepared and made policy decisions on
the major issues. Most of these decisions have a direct bearing
on hmv the Planning Commission will reviev-1 the application and
establish conditions.
First the City Council determined that a treatment facility
in the northeast basin was desirable, but only with water
reclamation. Therefore staff has recommended approval of the
application and suggests conditions to insure water reclamation
-see conditions 5 through 11. These conditions will require
the applicant to construct full facilities to commence water
reclamation upon activation of the plant. All users of the
treatment plant shall have to guarantee a method to utilize
the reclaimed water.
Council also directed staff to prepare a work prograill for potential
use of reclaimed water on agricultural land and other principle
uses for the entire city. Since the City Council only directed a
.. \ ' •• ~ • 1
)'
work program and did not set up a completion time for the study,
staff has not recommended a condition on the Precise Development
Plan to require such study prior to development in Lake Calavera
Hills.
Site 3b as requested by the applicant and approved by the Planning
Commission by previoris action (ZC-203) was determined by the
City Council as the proper location for the plant. The site as
requested includes an effluent recharge into an aquifer in the
Buena Vista drainage basin. This is included in the approval of
the plans.
The Montgomery Report also indicates an aquifer in the Agua
Hedionda drainage basin that can be used as an alternative re~
charge basin. Since there is still unresolved issues concerning
fail safe and storage capacity, staff suggests a condition to
require such alternative recharge basin if it is later determined
that such recharge is preferable to a fail safe line. See
Conditions No. 9 and 11.
The City Council then determined that a decision on the effluent
fail line should be delayed until such time as the Master Plan
on satellite treatment plants is completed. · :-:~is is to allow for
a comprehensively planned fail safe system that would combine
fail safes from other satellite plants. Also further study
especially on recharge basins and agricultur€ water needs may
modify the need for fail safe. (See Condition No. 11).
The approved plant is to have 1.2 mgd capacity artd constructed
by the applicant. This will provide capacity for growth
anticipated through the year 2000 including existing development
in the drainage basin. Condition No. 4 requires a force main to
connect to the Encina line on El Camino Real. This will provide
both a method to hook up existing residences and also a raw
sewage fail safe in case of plant mal function, (even though
mal function necessitating fail safe is not anticipated).
To provide for proper allocation of this capacity in line with
the anticipated full capacity date and to provide for all other
public facilities at time of need, the City Council has directed
staff to prepare a work plan for a growth management program.
Staff has suggested a condition that will require the completion
of this growth management program prior to accepting application
for any project within this service area not already approved
or in process. See Condition No. 14. This condition allows
either the adoption of a sewer allocation system or a growth
management program that would include all public facilities.
The applicant shall fund the construction of all portions of the
facilities he is responsible for. However, the City and the
applicant shall enter into negotiations which will hopefully
require a minimui af reimbursement and City involvement in the
financial aspects of the project. This agreement must be to
the satisfaction of the City Council. See Condition No. 13 .
• 2
'•,. < <I ' v,.
The City Attorney pointed out that if the applicant funds the
construction he could claim that his investment in the plant
gives him certain rights to impose limitations on "Council's"
ability to deal with discretionary approvals on the subject
development in the future. Further, any expenditure by the
applicant in advance of a final agreement for construction
would be at the risk of the applicant.
Finally, the City Council determined that upon completion of the
plant and prior to operation, it be transfered to the City,
see Condition No. 12.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a rec-
ommendation of approval of Precise Development Plan No. 2 to
the City Council based on the following findir.gs and subject
to the following conditions:
1. The proposed Precise Development Plan insures compatibility
of the development with the General Plan because:
a) The General Plan Land Use Element designates a public
utility in this area.
b) Subsequent development in the area served by the
treatment plant will be consistent with the General
Plan because all zoning in the service area is consistent
with the General Plan.
2. The proposed Precise Development Plan insures. compatibility
of the project with surrounding development because:
a) Adequate measures are required as part of the approval
to mitigate any adverse impacts the property may have.
b) The location of the project in a valley will reduce
adverse impacts to surrounding property.
3. It has been determined that the proposed Precise Development
Plan will not result in any significant adverse impacts to
the environment due to the following reasons:
a) The conditions of approval, include mitigation measures
outlined in EIR-528, that mitigate potential adverse
environmental impacts .
• 3
• • I ~ I •
b) The project will be subject to further review and
approval by affected State and Federal agencies. Said
review constitutes additional environmental impact
assessment, and ensures the project's compatibility
with the contiguous natural and manmade environment.
c) The Environmental Protection Agency has prepared a
study on the proposed oxidation ditch process. The
study found the process both reliable and highly
competive with respect to other secondary and advanced
waste water treatment systems.
4. The proposed Frecise Developreent Plan provides for public
facilities as necessitated by development and/or approvals
in the area:
a) The proposed waste water treatment facility will serve
as a complimentary use to the existing 3ncina sewage
treatment plant by providing the City ~ith additional
sewer capacity.
b) The proposed reclamation facility will reduce the
amount of potable water necessary to serve this area
in the future.
c) Said reclamation system could allow for the preservation
and continuation of agricultural production.
_.
d) The proposed treatment facility will be financed by
those utilizing the facility.
e) All other public facilities will be available at time
of development.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 25, 1979
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Staff
SUBJECT: ZC-203/PDP-2, SATELLITE SEWER TREATMENT PLANT -
LAKE CALAVERA HILLS
The City Council on April 17, 1979, discussed the problems
of making planning decisions on the subject application
without the City Council first determining certain policy
positions. They, therefore, have asked the Planning Commission
to table PDP-2 and forward your action on ZC-203 until after
City Council gives policy direction.
The City Council asked for a presentation by staff on these
policies at th~ir May 1, 1979, hearing. They anticipated
however, that they will continue their discussion to a workshop
on May 8, 1979, with the possibility of final action on May
15, 1979. The Planning Commission may wish to attend these
discussion, especially the May 8, 1979, workshop.
It is anticipated that PDP-2 could be heard by the Planning
Commission on May 23, 1979, if the City Council concludes
their discussion by May 8, or June 13 if the City Council
finishes on May 15. Earlier dates are not advisable because
staff needs the time to develop appropriate recommended
actions based on the City Council's policy directions.
Staff suggests continuing PDP-2 until May 23, 1979. If the
City Council does not conclude their policy discussion in time
to submit a report for May 23, 1979, the Planning Commission
would recontinue the matter to an appropriate date.
The resolution approving the change of zone should not be
acted upon pending City Council policy discussions. Staff
will either renotice the change of zone hearing along with
the precise development plan if necessary, or hold the
resolution pending Planning Commission action on the precise
development plan.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Planning Commission
continue your hearing on PDP-2 to May 23, 1979, and not forward
your action on ZC-203 until PDP-2 is complete. Furthermore,
it is recommended that ZC-203 be renoticed for hearing if City
Council policy differs from previous Planning Commission action.

RE: Zone Change in Lake Calavera Hills
Wastewater Treatment Facility
Carlsbad Municipal Water District
Gentlemen:
Responding to your request dated March 16, 1979 our Water District
has the following comments regarding the subject proposal:
1) Our District operates and maintains a public water system
serving 11 potable 11 water in the neighborhood of the property
facilities. We are of the opinion that there is no conflict
with the locating of a wastewater treatment facility in
the area.
2) In the development of a wastewater treatment facility and
its attendant treated water transportation system, there
are rigorous standards of construction and operation to
eliminate public health hazards to keep completely separate
at all times 11 potable11 , 11 non-potable .. , and treated waste-
water transporation systems.
3) Our District is currently developing standards of construction
and implementation of this type of a program so that there
will be an orderly and functional operation in the Master
Planned Community.
Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions regarding
our comments.

'
Such a Zone Change is warranted because the J. M, Montgomery

The permitted uses in this proposed reclassification will
not be detrimental .in any way to surrounding properties
