Annual Report
Executive Summary
The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued the Municipal Storm Water
Permit Order No. 2001-01, NPDES No. CAS018758 on February 21, 2001, to prevent waste discharges
from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) from draining into the watersheds of the County
of San Diego, the incorporated cities of San Diego County and the San Diego Unified Port District.
There are 20 Copermittees listed in the Order.
This Order describes all requirements, including the content of the Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
Management Plan (JURMP) to be prepared and submitted to the RWQCB by each and all the
Copermittees. The City of Carlsbad (City) submitted the JURMP on February 21, 2002, and will use a
continuous improvement and refinement strategy to identify changes to the JURMP through the life of the
Permit.
The improvements are expected to contribute to an evolving document that will change as technology
advances (i.e. best management practices, analytical testing, etc.) and the environmental conditions in the
Watershed vary. Through the mechanism of annual reporting, the major changes in the 2002 Carlsbad
JURMP are expected to be identified and submitted to the regulatory agencies in subsequent years.
This Annual Report follows the format of the JURMP and details progress and accomplishments during
Fiscal Year 2001-2002 (hereinafter referred to as FY 01-02) for the first twelve components of the
JURMP. A brief summary of accomplishments for these components is described below, followed by a
summary table listing all actions from the JURMP.
Section 2.0 Municipal Component
The City completed an inventory of all City of Carlsbad municipal facilities and prioritized them using
the threat to water quality critera. During FY 01-02, AMEC Earth & environmental (AMEC) inspected
92% of the high priority municipal sites. In addition, AMEC inspected 79% of the medium priority
facilities and 50% of the low priority.
During this first year, the City initiated job and/or activity specific storm water training. City facilities
also began implementing storm water best management practices (BMPs), although many are not
scheduled for implementation until FY 02-03.
The City also initiated a review and update to the existing geographic mapping program for the MS4.
Completion of the inventory and GIS mapping of the MS4 is expected in the Spring of 2003.

Section 9.0 Outreach and Education Component
The City has been very active with Outreach and Education at the Jurisdictional, Watershed and Regional
levels. At the jurisdictional level, the City began training City employees and the public on storm water
issues using a variety of outreach tools including printed brochures and fact sheets, the City website,
newsletters, commercial workshops, publications, press releases, presentations, and a local access channel
video segment. In addition, the City distributed outreach information at public events including the
Flower Fields, the Public Works Fair, and Earth Day.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
At the watershed level, the City collaborated with other North County Cities to jointly develop and
distribute outreach materials. This group, known as the North County Storm Water Program, coordinated
and completed a storm water public awareness survey to help determine the public’s baseline knowledge
of storm water issues. In addition, this group produced a full color brochure containing storm water
BMPs and pollution prevention tips and storm water contacts. A storm water door hanger was also
developed in order to help inform residents about illegal discharges found in their neighborhood.
At the Regional level, the City participated with other Copermittees in the development of education and
outreach materials and events, and had a representative attend the Outreach Technical Workgroup
meetings.

Section 11.0 Assessment of JURMP Effectiveness Component
This section contains the assessment measures that were developed regionally by the Copermittees. It has
been noted by Tetra-Tech and the RWQCB that this component does not contain measurable goals
necessary to quantify and track progress. The RWQCB also conducted a review of the City’s JURMP
and noted that the assessment section was inadequate. This comment was consistently received by the
other Copermittees and will be addressed in the coming year as a regional activity.
Section 12.0 Fiscal Analysis Component
The fiscal implications of the requirements of Order 2001-02 are significant and as an unfunded mandate
present the City with a financial challenge. Beginning in the FY 01-02 Operating Budget, the City
established a separate special revenue account for storm water protection. All storm water activity costs
(apart from storm water facility capital expenditures) were supported from the general fund.
The City hired Brown and Caldwell to conduct a storm water Alternative Financing Mechanism Study,
which was completed in May 2002. The City has a team currently reviewing this information and
developing a long-term financing strategy to present to the City Council for approval.

are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
This section references updated Tables 1 through 11, which are located in Appendix A of this report.
2.1 Pollution Prevention Actions
Action #1 - Develop a list of pollution prevention opportunities for each type of municipal facility.
Pollution prevention principles were considered at each facility and were presented in Table 1 in the
JURMP. No changes have been made to this Table.
Action #2 - Develop a training program for City of Carlsbad staff on the requirements of their
JURMP.
Staff continued to be trained in effective facility maintenance activities as they relate to storm water
protection. Training takes place during informal “tailgate” meetings, formal classroom training, or self-
guided training activities.
The following positions/departments have received job specific training as it relates to storm water
protection:
1. Construction Management & Inspections: BMPs for construction, erosion, and grading activities,
inspection procedures
2. Development Services: BMPs for erosion control, grading, development, outside training,
seminars and workshops
3. Street Crew Leads: Storm Drain Rules and Regulations, CMOM Update, Root Control, Urban
Run-off, Environmental Crimes, CCTV Update, outside training, seminars and workshops
4. Water Crew Leads: Storm Drain Rules and Regulations, CMOM Update, Root Control, Urban
Run-off, Environmental Crimes, CCTV Update, outside training, seminars and workshops

biweekly staff meetings)
• Planning Department staff – Design standards, BMPs for various phases of projects, and
SWPPP requirements
• Building Inspectors: Design standards, BMPs for various phases of projects, and
SWPPP requirements
A training goal of 70 percent for FY 02-03, 80 percent for the FY 03-04 year, and 90 percent for
subsequent years is projected.
2.2 Source Identification Actions
Action #1 - Generate a list and GIS map of municipal areas by watershed.
D-Max Engineering Inc. (D-Max) and the City’s GIS Department produced a list and map of high priority
municipal facilities by watershed. The information is presented in the JURMP.
Action #2 - Annually update list and map of municipal areas.
The updated list is in Appendix B and the map is in Appendix C.
2.3 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization Actions
Action #1 - Complete a list of municipal areas and activities (95% accuracy goal).
The City developed an inventory of municipal facilities and identified activities performed by municipal
staff. A spreadsheet of those facilities and activities is provided in Table 3, which also includes updates
and corrections.
2.4 Best Management Practices Implementation Actions
Action #1 - Develop a list of current and additional BMPs for each category of high, medium, and
low priority municipal sites.
Tables 7 through 11 contain BMP information for the following Municipal areas. These tables have been
updated to incorporate BMPs in place and/or needed, Capital Improvement Costs, and Schedule for
Implementation.
1. Maintenance Yards (Table 7)
2. Roadways (Table 8)
3. Storm Drain System (Table 9)
4. Parks (Table 10)
5. Other Municipal Activities (Table 11)
Action #2 - Develop a schedule for implementation of the upgrades to current and additional BMPs.
Tables 7 through 11 have been revised and contain schedules for BMP implementation or upgrades.
BMPs were selected based on the type of pollutants and their potential to contribute to storm water
pollution. Each table represents a municipal area (e.g., streets, and roadways, parking lots, etc.).
Activities are listed for each area and are purposely redundant throughout the Tables since activities are
not unique to one Municipal area. Some BMPs were not scheduled for implementation during this
reporting period. In these instances, the Tables will be updated in the next annual report.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #3 – Present BMPs as an Appendix to the JURMP.
BMPs have been presented as an Appendix to the JURMP. The effectiveness of BMPs will be
continually evaluated. If selected BMPs are shown to be ineffective, the BMP will be modified or
replaced, as needed. New BMPs will be added to the Appendix as appropriate. Currently, there are no
additions to the JURMP appendix.
2.5 Maintenance of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Actions
Action #1 - Identify Copermittee’s facility operations and maintenance activities.
The City maintains storm system catch basins and inlets, curbed streets, uncurbed roads, open drainage
facilities and desiltation basins. All maintenance activities on the storm sewer system, except street
sweeping, are performed by the City.
During FY 01-02, the City removed approximately 1,908 cubic yards of debris from the MS4. This
material was hauled to a City facility where it is stored under tarps in one of four concrete bunkers,
depending on which quadrant in the City from which it was removed. The bunkers allow dewatering
(with liquid disposal to the sanitary sewer) prior to disposal as solid waste.
The maintenance activities associated with each of these general structures are listed in Table 9. Included
in Table 9 are BMPs currently in place and recommended for incorporation to prevent, reduce, or
minimize impacts to receiving waters.
Action #2 - Develop a maintenance schedule.
Catch Basins/Inlets
During FY 01-02, the City inspected all 3,500 catch basins and scheduled cleaning as needed.
Curbed Streets and Uncurbed Roads
A subcontractor conducts street sweeping at the locations and frequencies listed in the JURMP. The
subcontractor is called to perform any additional cleanings as needed and City personnel have been
assigned to pick-up litter scattered along the roadside. During this reporting period, approximately 350
cubic yards of litter from the streets and roadsides was collected and disposed of properly.
Open Drainage Facilities
During FY 01-02, the City inspected and cleaned 18,750 lineal feet of brow ditches and 14,800 lineal feet
of drainage ways. Solid waste was removed from natural channels as needed (when brought to attention
of the City from complaints or referrals).
Desiltation Basins
The City has ownership and responsibility for maintaining three desiltation basins. Also within the City
are approximately 56 desiltation basins owned and operated by private entities. The City formed a
Desiltation Basin Maintenance Team with an objective to develop a formal maintenance program for
these basins, including an inspection program, maintenance and record keeping for the privately owned
basins during FY 02-03. Updates will be provided in the next annual report.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
2.6 Management of Pesticides, Herbicides, and Fertilizers Actions
Action #1 - Develop a list of municipal areas where pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are
applied.
The list of parks, athletic fields, greenways, and other maintained areas is provided as Table 11.
Action #2 - Identify BMPs for each of these municipal areas to include education, nonchemical
applications, native vegetation, schedules for irrigation and application, and management of unused
products. [Update as necessary]
BMPs, which include education, non-chemical applications, native vegetation, irrigation and application
schedules, and product management, were described in the JURMP.
2.7 Inspection of Municipal Areas and Activities Actions
Action #1 - Develop a list of municipal areas and activities with high priority for affecting storm
water quality.
Table 4 contains the list of municipal areas with high priority ranking for affecting storm water quality.
Action #2 - Develop an inspection checklist for these high priority areas and activities.
Checklists to inspect the various categories of Municipal areas were provided in the JURMP.
Action #3 - Develop a schedule for inspection. Annually inspect a goal of 90% of the high priority
areas for those specified in the Permit, and as calculated from Section F.3.a.(3)(b) using the storm
water quality criteria listed in Section 2.3 of this JURMP.
Table 4 lists the ranking for each Municipal area. The goal set in the JURMP is to inspect 90% of the
high priority areas during each of the Permit years. An additional goal is to inspect, biannually, the
“Medium” and “Low” priority areas. During FY 01-02, AMEC Earth & Environmental inspected 92% of
the high priority municipal sites, 79% of the medium priority facilities, and 50% of the low priority.
Action #4 - Develop a plan for corrective actions.
The corrective action plan is described in the JURMP. To summarize, storm water pollution controls are
specified for each facility. Corporate yards and maintenance facilities will be developing SWPPPs that
will contain the facility information, identify potential pollutants and sources, and outline applicable
BMPs. If inspections determine that the specified controls are ineffective for reducing pollutants, the
corrective action procedure outlined in the JURMP will be implemented and changes or modifications
will be made as needed.
2.8 Enforcement of Municipal Areas and Activities Actions
Action #1 - Generate a list of enforcement mechanism for each type of Municipal area or activity
requiring a compliance strategy.
Runoff from municipal facilities may pose a threat to water quality if a BMP is not in place or if a BMP
fails. The typical progressive enforcement steps the City can apply for compliance of municipal facilities
are as follows:
(a) Verbal or Written warnings;
(b) Notice of Violation;
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
(c) Compliance Schedules;
(d) Cease and Desist Orders or Stop Work Orders.
Action #2 - Develop a flow diagram of how each enforcement mechanism will be applied.
This information is provided in the JURMP.

Section 3
Industrial Component
3.0 Overview
The City of Carlsbad currently has 1,000 industrial facilities operating within its jurisdiction. Major
industry types in Carlsbad include high technology, multimedia and biomedical businesses, electronics,
golf apparel and equipment manufacturers and several light industry parks. Industrial activities can often
contribute to the degradation of receiving water quality when performed with disregard for the
environment. The Permit requires the City to develop and implement a program to reduce pollutant
runoff from industrial sites within its jurisdiction. In order to comply with these requirements, a
comprehensive program to reduce polluted urban runoff originating from existing industrial facilities has
been developed.
The format for this section follows the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP are
repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period
3.1 Pollution Prevention Action Plan
Action #1 - Develop a list of pollution prevention opportunities for industrial facilities.
Specific pollution prevention measures may vary from one industrial facility to another. The City will
inform industries of pollution prevention opportunities during site inspections or through workshops
targeted at common industry groups. The City did not conduct industrial inspections or workshops during
FY 01-02. This activity will is be initiated in FY 02-03.
Action #2 – Encourage or require industrial facilities to develop Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plans (SWPPPs)
High priority industrial facility inspections will be conducted during FY 02-03, as described in the
JURMP. This information will be updated in the next annual report.
3.2 Source Identification Actions
Action #1 - Generate a list and GIS map of industrial facilities by sub-watershed.
D-Max and the City’s GIS department generated a list and map of industrial facilities by sub-watershed
that was submitted with the JURMP in February 2002. This list is updated annually and can be found in
Appendix B.
Action #2 - Annually update list and map of industrial sites.
The City plans to inspect industrial facilities at the frequencies specified in Section 6 of the JURMP. The
inspections will provide current industrial information that will be used to annually update the list and
map of high, medium, and low priority industrial facilities. The current map of high priority industries is
found in Appendix C and the list of industrial sites is in Appendix B.
3.3 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization Actions
Action #1 – Use the criteria listed in Permit Section F.3.a.(3) to categorize the list of industrial sites
into rankings of high, medium and low priority.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
The Storm Water Program works closely with the Finance Department to run reports on new businesses
or inactive businesses from the business license database. This is the primary source of information used
to add or delete industries from the inventory. New industries are prioritized using the criteria in section
F.3.a.(3) of the Permit, which is detailed in the JURMP. The following sources are also used to annually
update this inventory:
1. County of San Diego Hazardous materials and waste listings;
2. Encina Wastewater Authority list of facilities with wastewater discharge permits;
3. Chamber of Commerce Business Directory or other business listings; and
4. SDRWQCB list of NOI filers.
The updated list is in Appendix B and the map is in Appendix C.
3.4 Best Management Practices Implementation Actions
Action #1 - Develop a list of BMPs for each industrial priority category.
The JURMP identifies 8 non-structural BMPs to be considered for implementation by all high priority
industrial facilities as appropriate. Specific BMPs, including structural BMPS, may be required by the
City based on problems identified during site inspections. The following is a list of general BMP
categories for all facilities.
o Good housekeeping;
o Preventive maintenance;
o Material handling and storage of significant materials;
o Employee training;
o Solid waste (non-hazardous) handling and recycling;
o Record keeping;
o Self inspection/quality assurance; and
o Spill response plan.
The general BMPs will be distributed to all high priority facilities during inspections and through mass
mailings during FY 02-03. The City is continuing to develop high priority industrial or activity specific
BMP booklets and guidance at both the Jurisdictional and Watershed level.
Action #2 - Specify how BMPs will be implemented for each industrial priority category.
Industry representatives will be given specific BMP information and general storm water education
during site visits and inspections. The City will follow the approach of focused, targeted education using
workshops and group meetings. In addition, formal industrial inspections will address site specific needs
and BMPs or SWPPPs required to remedy issues at each facility. These activities are planned for FY 02-
03.
3.5 Industrial Monitoring Program Actions
Action #1 – Describe the industrial monitoring program.
Each high priority industrial site will be required to conduct a runoff monitoring program in the same
manner as those industries covered under the State General Industrial Permit (NPDES General Permit No.
CAS000001, Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Industrial Activity). These industries may
conduct the monitoring program individually or as part of a Group Monitoring Program approved by the
State Water Resources Control Board. The City will require other high priority industries not covered
under the General Industrial Permit to conduct monitoring as required in Order 2001-01 section F.3.b.(5).
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
This includes sampling at least two storm events per year and analyzing for the constituents specified in
F.3.b.(5)(b).
The monitoring program will be phased in as the City inspects the high priority industries. The inspection
will determine an industry’s monitoring requirements by verifying high priority status and coverage under
the General Permit. Approximately 185 high priority industrial inspections are planned for FY 02-03.
3.6 Inspection of Industrial Sites Action Plan
Action #1 – Determine inspection frequencies for these facilities.
1. Inspection Frequency for High Priority Facilities.
High priority industrial facility inspections are scheduled to begin in FY 02-03. More frequent
inspections or follow-ups may be required for sites found to be out of compliance or placed on a
time schedule to comply.
2. Inspection Frequency for Low and Medium Priority Facilities
Medium and low priority industrial inspections will be conducted on a complaint basis or as
resources become available.
3. Complaint Investigations
All complaints of illegal discharges from an industrial site will be thoroughly and promptly
investigated according to the procedures described in Component 8 of the JURMP.
Action #2 –Develop an inspection procedure for these industrial facilities.
During this reporting period, the City created and filled two positions in the Storm Water Program (Sr.
Environmental Specialist and Environmental Specialist II). These positions are responsible for inspecting
commercial and industrial facilities, ensuring storm water compliance, and responding to complaints. The
specific inspection procedures are outlined in the JURMP, and a copy of the inspection report form is in
Appendix D. During this reporting period, the Storm Water Protection Program inspection, enforcement
and reporting procedures were developed. Once industrial inspections begin (FY 02-03), the City plans to
schedule the initial inspection to determine responsible parties and provide information and resources on
storm water pollution prevention and compliance. However, follow-up inspections and future routine
inspections will be unannounced to better verify BMP implementation and determine compliance.
During each inspection, the facility owner/operator is informed of any deficiencies or violations. This is
followed by a formal inspection report including the compliance schedule for completing any corrective
actions. Follow-up inspections may be performed within 60 days to verify implementation of the
corrective actions. If corrections are not made as required, or if the business is not responding to the
inspection report, the inspector may begin an enforcement action, which may include but is not limited to,
a verbal or written warning, Notice of Violation, or Cease and Desist Order. These mechanisms and
procedures are detailed in the City’s Enforcement Response Plan (Appendix E) and further explained in
subsection 3.7.
3.7 Enforcement of Industrial Sites Action Plan
Action #1 - Generate a list of enforcement mechanisms.
Carlsbad Municipal Code 15.12 and portions of Title 1 were revised and adopted by the City Council in
March 2002. This Chapter, along with Title 1 of the Code, established the enforcement mechanisms that
may be used for storm water violations. The list of enforcement mechanisms and descriptions is found in
the JURMP and a copy of the ordinance is in Appendix F.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #2 – Develop an Enforcement Response Plan to outline how each enforcement mechanism
will be applied.
In June 2002, an Enforcement Response Plan was developed to outline the procedures City inspectors
would use to identify, document, and respond to storm water violations. The plan is intended to provide
guidance for City inspectors in selecting initial and follow-up enforcement actions, identifying
responsible staff, and specifying appropriate time frames for actions. A copy of the plan is in Appendix
E.
During this reporting period, all field personnel/inspectors in the City Storm Water Protection Program
successfully completed the Peace Officer Orientation II Laws of Arrest Course (40 hours of a POST
certified course pursuant to Section 832(a) of the California Penal Code). In addition, the Sr.
Environmental Specialist attended the 9th Annual Environmental Cross Media Enforcement Symposium.
These training courses, in addition to the Enforcement Response Plan, will help the Storm Water Program
staff to appropriately identify and respond to storm water violations.
3.8 Non-compliance Notification Action Plan
Action #1 – Determine when an incident of non-compliance presents a threat to human or
environmental health.
An incident or practice of non-compliance that requires a hazardous materials emergency response will be
considered a threat to human or environmental health that must be reported to the RWQCB according to
the procedures listed in Action #2 below. The Environmental Programs Manager will use best
professional judgment to notify the RWQCB of any other non-compliance incidents that do not meet the
above criteria but may be considered a threat to human or environmental health. No incidents of this type
were identified during this reporting period.
Action #2 – Identify procedures for notifying the San Diego RWQCB.
The City will provide oral notification to the RWQCB within 24 hours of the discovery of a non-
compliant site meeting the aforementioned criteria. This will be followed by written notification within 5
days of the discovery.
Other instances of non-compliance will be submitted in the annual report to the RWQCB.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Section 4
Commercial Component
4.0 Overview
The City currently has over 500 high priority commercial facilities operating within its jurisdiction.
Commercial facilities can generate a variety of pollutants depending on the activities performed.
Automobile maintenance, carpet cleaning, and landscaping activities have the potential to generate
significant amounts of pollutants, if performed with disregard to the environment. Even in small
quantities, these pollutants can combine in the storm water conveyance system and cause significant
degradation to receiving waters. In order to determine specific potential sources, a comprehensive
database of commercial facilities has been compiled and high priority facilities have been selected based
on threat to water quality. This prioritization process will determine the appropriate minimum BMPs for
the commercial sites and sources.
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
4.1 Pollution Prevention Action Plan
Action #1 - Develop a list of pollution prevention opportunities for commercial sites and sources.
The focus in the JURMP is to reduce or eliminate the generation of polluted storm water runoff. In
commercial operations, pollution prevention strategies enable the operator to reduce the volume of solid,
liquid and hazardous wastes, as well as the accompanying costs of storage, disposal or treatment. Some
pollution prevention strategies are site specific and will be addressed during site inspections. Others are
general and may be addressed through education and outreach efforts. The City incorporated many
pollution prevention methods into BMP brochures and workshops aimed at specific commercial
operations. Workshops were held for restaurants and for automotive facilities. The City also produced a
restaurant BMP brochure (Spanish and English versions) and a model SWPPP for automotive facilities,
which were distributed at workshops and during site inspections.
Action #2 – Encourage commercial facilities to develop and implement Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plans (SWPPPs)
Over 25 automotive facilities and restaurants were inspected during FY 01-02. A model SWPPP for
automotive facilities was developed and distributed during workshops and inspections. Commercial
facilities were encouraged to develop and implement SWPPPs and, in some cases, SWPPP’s were
required if the commercial operation presented a threat to water quality. This authority is found in
Carlsbad Municipal Code 15.12.
4.2 Source Identification Action Plan
Action #1 - Generate a list and GIS map of commercial areas by watershed.
D-Max and the City’s GIS Department produced a list and map of high priority commercial sites by
watershed. The initial list and map were presented in the JURMP.
Action #2 - Annually update list and map of commercial sites.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Commercial inspections are being conducted on a complaint basis or in response to identified problems
from the dry weather monitoring program. Inspections provide current commercial information, which is
used to update the list and map. Only a small percentage of commercial sites were inspected in FY 01-02.
The following sources are also being used to annually update this list:
1. City of Carlsbad Business license database
2. County of San Diego Hazardous materials and waste listings;
3. Encina Wastewater Authority list of facilities with wastewater discharge permits; and
4. Chamber of Commerce Business Directory or other business listings.
The updated list is in Appendix B and the map is in Appendix C.
4.3 Best Management Practices Implementation Action Plan
Action #1 - Develop a list of BMPs for high priority commercial sites and sources.
The JURMP identifies eight non-structural BMPs to be considered for implementation by all high priority
commercial sites and sources as appropriate. Specific BMPs, structural and non-structural, may be
required by the City based on problems identified during site inspections. Appropriate BMPs must be
selected to prevent or mitigate pollution generated from the specific activities at the site. BMPs will be
chosen based, primarily, on the information learned from the facility inspection. Following are the
general BMP categories for all facilities.
o Good housekeeping;
o Preventive maintenance;
o Material handling and storage of significant materials;
o Employee training;
o Solid waste (non-hazardous) handling and recycling;
o Record keeping;
o Self inspection/quality assurance; and
o Spill response plan.
The City is working with the other Copermittees to develop BMP options and pollution prevention
information for commercial sites and sources. In addition, the City is continuing to develop high priority
commercial or activity specific BMP booklets and guidance at both the Jurisdictional and Watershed
levels.
Action #2 – Specify how BMPs will be implemented for each commercial category.
BMPs are required and implemented for commercial categories through outreach and education, facility
inspections, and enforcement.
The City’s Storm Water Outreach Team developed commercial activity BMP booklets for distribution to
target audiences. The “Restaurant Best Management Practices” booklet, in both English and Spanish
versions, was the first of the series. The City also held workshops and provided a model SWPPP with
BMP information for Auto Dealers and Auto Repair Shops. In the coming year, the City anticipates
developing several other BMP booklets. Target commercial audiences or groups under consideration at
this time include impervious surface cleaning and mobile vehicle washing, landscaping, concrete and
mortar, and pool and spa service. This information is made available at Public Facilities (City Hall,
Permits counter, etc.), public events, workshops and during inspections and investigations. This
information will be provided in the coming year through mass mailings.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
During facility inspections, City staff review SWPPPs, if available, assess current BMPs, and require
general or specific BMPs as needed to prevent storm water pollution. City inspectors also verify that on-
going employee training is being conducted as required. BMP effectiveness is evaluated during follow-
up inspections. The City has the authority to require additional controls to be implemented, if warranted,
for commercial sites or sources tributary to Clean Water Act section 303(d) impaired waters or other
receiving waters within Environmentally Sensitive Areas. Enforcement activities are further described in
Section 8 of this report.
4.4 Inspection of Commercial Sites Action Plan
Action #1 – Determine inspection frequencies for these facilities.
Permit section F.3.c.(4) states that high priority commercial sites and sources are to be inspected as
needed. Currently, commercial sites are being inspected on a complaint basis. If a storm water complaint
is received about a commercial site or source, or an illegal discharge is observed or suspected, the City
will investigate by conducting a complete storm water inspection. Commercial sites or sources may also
be chosen for inspection based on results of dry-weather field screening indicating a potential problem.
As more water quality data are collected, it is expected that commercial sites may be chosen for
inspection based on their potential to discharge a constituent of concern to a specific water body.
During FY 01-02, the City inspected 18 automotive facilities in the Car Country Carlsbad area in
response to dry-weather field screening. These facilities will be re-inspected in the following year to
verify BMP implementation. The City also inspected nine restaurants in response to specific complaints.
It is anticipated that City inspectors, contractors, and interns will inspect commercial facilities in the
coming year by.
All complaints of illegal discharges from commercial sites, arising from the results of dry-weather field
screening and analytical monitoring, will be investigated. Investigations of illicit discharges will be
performed according to the procedures described in Component 8 of the JURMP.
Action #2 –Develop an inspection procedure for these commercial sites.
The inspection procedures are outlined in the JURMP. During the first year of inspections, the City is
pre-scheduling inspections in order to meet with the responsible owner/operator and inform them of the
program requirements. It is anticipated that follow-up inspections and future routine inspections will be
unannounced to better verify BMP implementation and determine compliance.
During each inspection, the facility owner/operator is informed of any deficiencies or violations. This is
followed by a formal inspection report including a compliance schedule for completing any corrective
actions. Follow-up inspections are performed within 60 days to verify implementation of the corrective
actions. If corrections are not made or if the business is not responding to the inspection report, the
inspector begins enforcement actions which may include, but is not limited to, a verbal or written
warning, Notice of Violation, or Cease and Desist Order. These mechanisms and procedures are detailed
in the City’s Enforcement Response Plan and further explained in subsection 4.5.
4.5 Enforcement of Commercial Sites and Sources Action Plan
Action #1 - Generate a list of enforcement mechanisms.
Carlsbad Municipal Code 15.12 was revised and adopted by the City Council in March 2002. This
chapter, along with Title 1 of the Code, established enforcement mechanisms to be used for storm water
violations. The list of enforcement mechanisms and descriptions is found in the JURMP and a copy of
this ordinance is in Appendix F.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #2 – Develop an Enforcement Response Plan to outline how each enforcement mechanism
will be applied.
An Enforcement Response Plan was developed in June 2002. The Enforcement Response Plan outlines
procedures City inspectors will use to identify, document, and respond to storm water violations. The
plan is intended to provide guidance in selecting initial and follow-up enforcement actions, identifying
responsible staff, and specifying appropriate time frames for actions. A copy of the plan is in Appendix
E.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Section 5
Residential Component
5.0 Overview
The City of Carlsbad encompasses approximately 42 square miles, and as of January 1, 2001, the
population was 83,469 according to the California Department of Finance. At buildout, sometime beyond
the year 2010, there will be nearly 54,599 residential units, housing approximately 135,000 residents. To
varying degrees, the residential community contributes to water quality degradation and therefore should
be addressed in any pollution prevention strategy.
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
5.1 Pollution Prevention Action Plans
Action #1 - Develop a list of pollution prevention opportunities for residential activities.
Specific pollution prevention strategies for the residential population are addressed in the City’s outreach
and education efforts (Section 9 of this report) and will be tailored to the specific residential activity.
General pollution prevention examples for residential areas and activities are as follows:
• Use alternative, safer, or recycled products.
• Reduce the amount of hazardous materials by implementing natural controls.
• Redirect storm water flows away from areas of concern.
• Reduce use of water or implement dry methods.
• Recycle and properly dispose of solid waste.
• Move or cover potential pollutant sources from storm water contact.
Many of these pollution prevention examples are incorporated into BMP brochures and handouts
distributed to the residents through mass mailings or while investigating complaints of potential storm
water violations. This information is also presented in newspaper articles, public newsletters, or other
publications. These brochures and household hazardous waste information are also available on the
City’s website.
Action #2 - Describe how the City will encourage the residential community to implement
pollution prevention strategies.
A comprehensive Outreach and Education program that increases knowledge and awareness of pollution
prevention measures is being implemented. The residential community is being educated using a variety
of outreach methods, including mass mailings, articles in publications, public presentations, the City
website, and through one-on-one interactions with City inspectors. These activities are further described
in Section 9 of this report.
5.2 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization Action
Action #1 - Describe how the City will address the high priority residential areas and activities.
High priority residential areas and activities are addressed through the Outreach and Education program
and by responding to reports of illicit connections, illegal discharges, or other public complaints.
Investigation of illegal discharges or complaint reports is addressed in Section 8 of this report.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
As stated in the JURMP, residential areas will be equitably addressed throughout the City. Residents who
live 5 miles from a lagoon or creek will be expected to implement the same BMPs as those who live
within 200 feet of a lagoon or creek.
High priority residential activities have been addressed at the local, watershed, and regional levels using
the most efficient and effective methods available. Current and on-going efforts include the following:
• Public Presentations
• Creation of City Internet Web Site for the Storm Water Protection Program
• Enhancement of the City’s Storm Water Hot line
• Creation of Storm Water Protection Program email address
• BMP Brochure development
• General Outreach efforts through printed ads, press releases, media interviews
Specific education efforts are further detailed in Section 9 of this report.
5.3 Best Management Practices Implementation Action Plans
Action #1 – Develop BMPs for high priority residential activities, and distribute this information
using the most efficient and effective methods available.
The use and integration of BMPs into daily activities is the key to controlling runoff in growing urban
areas. The City’s Storm Water Outreach Team has developed various BMP booklets for high priority
residential activities. During this report period, brochures addressing pet waste, residential car washing,
motor oil and lawn and garden care were developed and distributed. The local and regional outreach
teams will continue to develop BMP information for other residential activities and will inform the
residential community of BMPs through the following methods:
• Public presentations;
• City web site;
• Printed ads, press releases, media interviews;
• Direct mailing; and
• Outreach activities.
Action #2 - Investigate complaints and non-storm water discharges and ensure compliance with
minimum BMPs as appropriate.
The City has a Storm Water Hot line that allows the public to report illegal discharges to the storm drain
or activities that impact water quality. Reports of illegal discharges are also received through the storm
water email address or from other City departments who have been contacted by Carlsbad residents. All
reports and referrals are promptly investigated and resolved the to fullest extent. Specific information on
the effects of storm water pollution and how to prevent future impacts to water quality through
implementing BMPs will be provided to the residential community during investigations. This
information will increase the public’s awareness and understanding of storm water pollution prevention
efforts and water quality enhancement. When enforcement is necessary, the City inspector may utilize
the appropriate enforcement mechanisms described in section 5.4 of the JURMP and the Enforcement
Response Plan found in Appendix F.
5.4 Enforcement of Residential Areas and Activities Action Plans
Action #1 - Generate a list of enforcement mechanism for each type of residential area or activity.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Carlsbad Municipal Code 15.12 and portions of Title 1 were revised and adopted by the City Council in
March 2002. This Chapter, along with Title 1 of the Code, established the enforcement mechanisms to be
used for storm water violations. The list of enforcement mechanisms and descriptions is found in the
JURMP and a copy of the ordinance is in Appendix F.
City inspectors and staff with enforcement authority may initiate enforcement actions against residents
who discharge pollutants to the storm water conveyance system, or who fail to implement BMPs required
by the City. The inspectors, in accordance with the City’s existing procedures, will document each
observed violation. Depending on the severity of the violation, enforcement can range from a verbal
warning to monetary fines.
The City investigated 121 complaints, with 61 originating from residential activities. During
investigations, the Storm Water Program inspector informs the responsible party of the problem or
violations and how to correct it and/or prevent future occurrences. Any related BMP or pollution
prevention information is given to the resident in person or by mail. A summary of the City’s
investigations and enforcement actions is found in Section 8 of this report.
Action #2 – Develop an Enforcement Response Plan to outline how each enforcement mechanism
will be applied.
The City developed an Enforcement Response Plan in June 2002 to outline the procedures City inspectors
will follow to identify, document, and respond to storm water violations. The plan is intended to provide
guidance for City inspectors in selecting initial and follow-up enforcement actions, identifying
responsible staff, and specifying appropriate time frames for actions. A copy of the plan is in Appendix
E.

Section 6
Land-Use Planning Component
6.0 Overview
This section of the annual report outlines Land-Use Planning actions implemented in FY 01-02 and
describes the specific actions that were completed, in progress, or projected to meet or exceed the Permit
requirements.
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
6.1 Assessment of General Plan
Action #1 - Assess the General Plan for inclusion of Land-Use Planning for new development and
redevelopment projects.
The City has revised the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Local Coastal Program, and Municipal Code to
comply with Order 2001-01 and address water quality and watershed protection. On November 1, 2002,
the revised Zoning Ordinance, Municipal Code, and Local Coastal Plan Amendments were submitted to
the California Coastal Commission. To date, a Coastal Commission hearing has not been scheduled to
address these amendments.
6.2 Modification Development Project Approval Process Actions
Action #1 - Develop project requirements for inclusion into local (public and private) development
permits.
Prior to project approval and issuance of local permits, project proponents are required to design measures
that prevent and/or reduce pollutants, to the maximum extent practicable, from impacting receiving water
quality. Currently, all projects are subject to a thorough discretionary and plan check review process to
ensure that water quality requirements for the development comply with the City’s storm water
ordinances, local permits, Order 2001-01, and any other applicable requirements.
The discretionary review process is the first opportunity the City has to educate developers, applicants,
engineers, and citizens about water quality objectives. At this time, storm water BMPs and pollution
prevention measures are integrated into the initial design of the project. If the proposed project impacts
over 5-acres of land, applicants/developers are required to submit a preliminary SWPPP to address
potential water quality impacts that may result from the proposed development. For projects disturbing
less than 5 acres and listed as a priority project pursuant to Order 2001-01 a preliminary Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP) is required. By requiring applicants/developers to submit these documents,
the City has an opportunity to thoroughly review each proposed project and ensure all associated impacts
are considered and adequate mitigation measures are incorporated. The discretionary development
checklist has been revised to include both the SWPPP and SWMP requirement.
The preliminary SWPPP and SWMP must include to following information in order to be considered
complete:
• Description of the project and it’s proposed uses
• Description of impaired water bodies the project may impact
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
• Storm water quality objectives to be implemented
• List of anticipated pollutants of concern
• Description of how water quality measures will be incorporated to reduce pollutant loads to the
maximum extent practical
The conditions of approval related to storm water quality have also been revised to ensure the applicants
comply with Order 2001-01. As part of the discretionary review process, the project proponent is
required to prepare exhibits that demonstrate each proposed treatment control measure. Water quality
measures described at this stage are modified (as necessary), approved, and carried forward into the final
project design.
After discretionary approval, final project design plans are submitted for review by staff. Final SWPPPs
and SWMPs are reviewed to ensure that pollutants of concern are properly addressed and that sufficient
measures (both source control and treatment control) are incorporated into the final project design.
Improvement and grading plan checklists have been revised to require final SWPPPs or final SWMPs.
Action #2 - Participate in the development of the Model SUSMP.
The City, in cooperation with the other Copermittees, has developed and adopted a Model Standard
Urban Storm water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) for the entire region. The City has also prepared a local
SUSMP that covers priority development projects, BMPs, and integration of pollution prevention
measures into projects. SUSMP requirements apply to all new development and major redevelopment
projects as designated by the City. The local SUSMP identifies specific post-construction site design,
source control and treatment control storm water BMPs that must be implemented on certain larger
development projects, called “Priority Projects.”
6.3 Revisions to Environmental Review Process Actions
Action #1 - The City’s Environmental Checklist Form and Environmental Information Form have
been updated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to incorporate additional
focused questions to be considered by Community Development staff during the Initial Study
process under CEQA.
The review of all discretionary projects is consistent with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Project proposals are reviewed to ensure that all development will
be in compliance with the new/revised Grading, Storm Water, and Coastal ordinances, Order 2001-01,
local permits, and all other applicable ordinances and requirements. Prior to project approval and
issuance of local permits, the City requires each proposed project to implement measures that prevent and
reduce pollutants associated with the development, to the maximum extent practicable, from impacting
receiving water quality.
6.4 Education on New Development and Redevelopment Actions
Action #1 - Implement a planning education program for Municipal staff that support Planning
and Land Use.
Development projects are reviewed on a weekly basis. During these project reviews staff discuss each
new project to verify that all pollutants have been considered and that proper source and/or treatment
control measures have been incorporated. Past experiences, design alternatives, effectiveness, long-term
maintenance, and other relevant issues to water quality are also discussed during these weekly reviews.
City Council and Planning Commission members have also been educated about water quality objectives
for development projects and Order 2001-01. Staff also attend storm water quality seminars as available.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #2 - Implement a planning education program for developers, contractors, property owners,
and community planning groups.
The City hosted a public workshop in June 2002 to review and educate project applicants, local engineers,
developers, contractors, and property owners about water quality requirements, roles, development
standards, and expectations of new projects (both discretionary and plan check).
Sample SWPPPs and SWMPs have been developed and are available as a guide for engineers, developers
and applicants to use when preparing these documents for their proposed development projects. The City
will continue to meet with project proponents and provide educational opportunities and materials on
water quality requirements and objectives for new projects.

Section 7
Construction Component
7.0 Overview
The Permit requires the City to implement activities that address and minimize short and long-term
impacts on receiving water quality related to run off from new construction sites. Performance goals are
used to assess the completeness of this Component and the effectiveness of action plans. These
performance goals include high priority construction inspections, BMP implementation reviews,
corrective actions, enforcement, and reporting requirements. The overall construction component
compliance reported for FY 01-02 was 96%.
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
7.1 Pollution Prevention
Action #1 - Identify pollution prevention methods for implementation
Using a typical construction site as a model, the City developed a list of pollution prevention
opportunities into a fact sheet format. The fact sheet includes the following pollution prevention
principles for construction sites:

Information packages, which include the fact sheet, are distributed to contractors and project proponents
during pre-construction consultations. This information is also discussed with all involved parties prior to
the initiation of any construction project. During these discussions details related to the construction
project, specific site conditions, BMP implementation, location of receiving waters, and any other unique
features of the project are addressed.
The Engineering and Building Department’s also coordinate efforts to ensure storm water pollution
prevention practices and associated BMPs are fully integrated into the permitting process. Currently
these departments are working together to develop a fact sheet to address grading projects and their
impacts on regional water quality. This fact sheet should be completed before the end of FY 02-03 and
will be included in the pre-construction information package.
Action #2 - Define the list of options on how the pollution prevention methods will be
implemented and how the pollution prevention methods will be required.
A combination of training and outreach has been implemented to encourage the development industry to
voluntarily utilize storm water pollution prevention measures. Applicants and contractors whose projects
involve public improvements, grading permits, and right-of-way permits are required to review the
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
information in the pre-construction package and meet with City inspectors prior to construction. In
addition, inspections are conducted throughout the construction process to ensure pollution prevention
methods are not only effective and appropriate but also properly implemented.
7.2 Grading Ordinance Update
Action #1 - Review grading ordinance for compliance with Permit requirements and update as
necessary.
The City’s Grading Ordinance is located in the Carlsbad Municipal Code 15.16 “Grading and Erosion
Control.” The ordinance was reviewed and updated in February 2002, to comply with the City’s storm
water ordinances and Order 2001-01. The City is in the process of obtaining approval of the Grading
Ordinance revisions from the California Coastal Commission. The approval is required to assure that the
City’s storm water grading and erosion ordinance is consistent with the goals of the State’s Coastal Zone
Program.
7.3 Modify Construction and Grading Approval Process
Action #1 - Describe the construction and grading approval process for the City.
Prior to approval of a construction or grading permit, project proponents are required to implement
measures to ensure pollutants, to the maximum extent practicable, do not cause or contribute to an
exceedance of water quality objectives. In addition to the detailed description provided in the JURMP,
the City plans to develop a fact sheet that will include minimum BMPs for the building permit projects.
This fact sheet will be incorporated into the building permit process and will be similar to the one utilized
by the Engineering Department for new construction projects. The City is continuing to review existing
permits, procedures, and ordinances to ensure storm water compliance is met.
For activities that require a grading permit and where the amount of soil being disturbed is less than 5
acres, project proponents are required to comply with minimum BMP requirements established by the
City. The City requires a SWPPP or a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Water
Pollution Control Plan for projects that disturb areas less than 5 acres, if deemed necessary. The
Engineering Department began implementing these requirements into the discretionary review process
with the adoption of Order 2001-01. Currently, commercial and industrial projects requiring a conditional
use permit and residential developments are required to submit a SWPPP.
For activities that disturb greater than five acres of soil, project proponents are required to select and
implement erosion control, sediment control, and BMPs to prevent the discharge of pollutants to the
storm water conveyance system. The Engineering Department implemented these requirements prior to
the adoption of the Order 2001-01. Furthermore, project applicants are required to submit this
information for review by the City to determine consistency with the grading plans, erosion control plans,
and other proposed BMPs. Permits are not issued unless this information is provided and found to be
adequate.
Action #2 - Implement the construction and grading requirements into local construction and
grading permits.
Phase grading is required for all projects in order to minimize the total amount of cleared area and to
establish permanent landscaping and slope planting early in the construction process. The establishment
of permanent landscaping and slope planting help to control or reduce potential pollutant discharges
during the construction phase. These requirements are found in Exhibits 3-19 and 3-20 of the City’s
Landscape Manual and the Engineering Inspection Manual.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
7.4 Source Identification
Action #1 - Generate a list of current construction projects with location, regardless of size.
The initial list was provided in the JURMP.
Action #2 - Annually update the list of construction sites.
A watershed based inventory is annually developed and updated for all construction sites and grading
permits within the City regardless of site size or ownership. Development projects within the City are
tracked through the Permits Plus program, which has been modified to also track characteristic or criteria
information (i.e., watershed) as permits are issued. The current list is found in Appendix B of this report.
7.5 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization
Action #1 - Annually prioritize the list of construction sites using the criteria provided in the
Permit.
Prior to the rainy season, inspection criteria are established for each active grading permit in accordance
with the outlined project ranking detailed in Section 7.5.1 of the JURMP. The City chose to rank all
active grading permits for FY 01-02 as high priority. The Permits Plus program is used to track
inspection requests in advance. Grading permits and construction site lists will continue to be annually
updated prior to the start of the rainy season (before October 1).
7.6 Best Management Practice Implementation
Action #1 - Develop a list of BMPs for each category of high, medium, and low priority construction
sites.
A list of minimum BMPs has been developed and incorporated into the construction/building permit
process (See Section 7.3). The City approves specific BMPs during the review of SWPPPs, grading
plans, erosion control plans, and other water quality documents in the context of local program priorities.
Action #2 - Develop a schedule for implementation of the BMPs for construction sites.
The City Grading Ordinance requires implementation of BMPs for each construction site. Each site is
individually evaluated and BMPs are required and implemented throughout project development. Based
on the analysis of an individual site, the Inspector will require the implementation of appropriate BMPs.
The Inspector may also require implementation of additional BMPs beyond the minimum BMPs,
including those more stringent than in the statewide General Construction Permit. Many developers have
implemented BMPs, not required by the City simply because they are more cost effective. For example,
because permanent landscaping is less expensive to install than erosion control, many project proponents
choose to establish permanent landscaping early in the construction process thus reducing the amount of
runoff from a construction site.
It is the City’s policy to phase grading areas in a manner timely enough to establish permanent
landscaping and slope planting. If permanent landscaping and slope planting are established early,
pollutant discharges can be significantly reduced during the grading phase. These requirements are
included in the City’s Landscape Manual and the Engineering Inspection Manual in Exhibits 3-19 and 3-
20. The City achieved 96% compliance for FY01-02 as outlined in the Quantitative Assessment form
found in Section 11 of this report.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #3 - Develop a list of additional BMPs to be implemented for construction sites that
discharges to a tributary of a 303(d) water body or is located adjacent to or discharging directly to
an ESA.
During the discretionary and environmental review process, impacts to environmentally sensitive areas
and impaired water bodies are fully evaluated. In most cases, the project proponent will need to submit
an initial or preliminary SWPPP to the Engineering Department. The SWPPP is evaluated to determine if
all potential water quality impacts have been addressed and appropriate BMPs described to mitigate those
impacts. If additional BMPs are required they are incorporated into the site design at this stage.
7.7 Inspection of Construction Sites
Action #1 - Generate a schedule and frequency for each priority category of construction sites.
Staff appropriately based on level of effort.
All active grading permits in FY 01-02 were considered to be high priority and inspected accordingly.
Inspection requests are generated by the staff through the Permits Plus software, which allows scheduling
of inspections throughout the life of each project. Construction site inspections were conducted in
accordance with the City Grading Ordinance and Public Works policies. In addition, BMPs were
reviewed during each site visit and inspection to determine if they are effective and appropriate.
Action #2 - Devise a checklist for inspecting construction sites.
An inspection checklist has been developed to ensure compliance with applicable Ordinances, Permits
(building, grading, storm water etc.), and Order 2001-01. This checklist is included in the Engineering
Inspection Manual as Exhibit 3-18B. In addition, site inspection procedures have been developed that
require developers to implement an effective combination of BMPs to meet the minimum water quality
protection requirements based upon the sites potential threat to receiving waters.
7.8 Enforcement of Construction Sites
Action #1 - Describe the enforcement mechanisms.
The Carlsbad Municipal Code has been revised to include specific enforcement of the storm water quality
requirements contained in the grading ordinance. Section 15.12.150 (Administrative Code Enforcement
Powers and Procedures) provides additional specific enforcement powers in addition to the general
enforcement powers already contained in Title 1, Sections 15.12 and 15.16 of the Municipal Code. Please
refer to Section 7.8.1 of the JURMP for a complete description of enforcement actions and procedures.
Action #2 – Develop an Enforcement Response Plan to outline how each enforcement mechanism
will be applied.
An enforcement response plan has not yet been developed for construction and grading activities.
Currently, it is the City’s policy to respond to complaints and implement enforcement actions described in
the Municipal Code, as necessary, until the situation is properly and effectively remedied. The City
requires developers and builders to submit cash deposits, which are used to install appropriate erosion
control materials and infrastructure. These funds ensure adequate erosion control measures are
implemented at construction sites. The Engineering Department works closely with the City Attorney’s
Office on projects subject to enforcement actions that include penalties, fines, public nuisance
declarations, or court actions. All other enforcement actions are handled administratively within the
Engineering Department in accordance to existing policies and procedures.
7.9 Reporting of Noncompliant Sites
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #1 - Define the process for identifying noncompliant sites by developing criteria to
determine if a noncompliance presents a threat to storm water. Annually assess the evaluation
criteria. A valid noncompliance industrial site will be reported to the San Diego RWQCB.
The Public Works Director or designated representative provides verbal notification, within 24 hours, to
the RWQCB of non-compliant sites that may pose a threat to human or environmental health. Non-
compliant construction sites considered a potential threat to water quality criteria are outlined in Section
7.8.1 of the JURMP and the Municipal Code is used to respond appropriately and evaluate each
individual situation. Other regulations are applied, as appropriate, for impacts to human health and the
environment that would not necessarily affect storm water or receiving water. Non-compliant sites will
continue to be reported to the RWQCB.
Action #2 - Develop a mechanism for reporting noncompliant construction sites to the SDRWQCB.
A phone log for construction site complaints referred to the RWQCB is being developed. Currently, all
correspondence is stored in individual construction project files. Fortunately, there have not been a
significant number of violations. It is the City’s policy to document enforcement actions and ensure
every legal remedy has been properly implemented. The RWQCB is immediately contacted if the
violation is egregious and/or if enforcement actions have not been effective in abating the violation.
Verbal notification is provided to the RWQCB within 24 hours of the discovery of the noncompliant
industry. Written follow-up notification within 5 days of the discovery of the noncompliant site is sent
via certified mail to the RWQCB.
Action #3 - Develop a list of noncompliant construction sites.
The Calaveras Hills Middle School construction project coordinated by the Carlsbad Unified School
District was the only site reported to the RWQCB during FY 01-02.
7.10 Education on Construction Activities
Action #1 Describe the construction education program for Municipal /Construction
support Staff and how the program will be implemented.
Employees are trained on specific topics during biweekly staff meetings (or other frequency as
established by the section or manager). Training takes place as part of “case reviews” conducted by the
lead inspector and/or the supervisor.
“Case reviews” typically involve the review and discussion of projects that present unusual or challenging
circumstances. Staff evaluate SWPPPs or BMPs for difficulties, problems or methods that have proven to
be more successful than anticipated. The process of sharing field and practical experience expands the
skills and knowledge of the City staff. Some “case reviews” may involve finding alternative solutions or
recommendations for projects that present new challenges to staff.
City staff involved in planning, development, construction, and inspection activities receive on-going
training related to their duties and responsibilities. Inspectors attended several workshops and seminars
held by the City of San Diego, County of San Diego, Caltrans, RWQCB, and San Diego State University
Soils Lab staff as well as those hosted by BMP manufacturer representatives. Internal training is also
given during monthly staff meetings.
Action #2 - Describe the construction education program for external parties and how the program
will be implemented.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
This program will be developed during FY 02-03 in order to provide education on new SUSMP
requirements.

Section 8
Illicit Discharges Detection and
Elimination Component
8.0 Overview
Order. 2001-01 requires the establishment of an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDD&E)
Component within the JURMP. The City’s program actively seeks and eliminates illicit discharges and
connections by conducting inspections, responding to complaints and referrals, and by conducting dry
weather monitoring and coastal outfall monitoring programs.
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of activities and accomplishments conducted during this first
annual reporting period.
8.1 Illicit Discharges and Connections
Action #1 - Define terms to describe the program to actively seek and eliminate illicit discharges
and connections.
This action was completed and described in the JURMP.
8.2 Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring
Action #1 - Describe the dry weather analytical monitoring program that will be conducted to
detect illicit discharges and connections.
The City has conducted Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring for several years. The Dry Weather
Monitoring Program outlined in the JURMP is the result of years of experience conducting this program.
The program has been modified to meet or exceed the requirements of the Permit while taking into
account what has been learned about the system. The results from the dry weather monitoring program
for FY 01-02 are attached to this report (Appendix G).
8.3 Investigation/Inspection and Follow-up
Action #1 - A description of investigation and inspection procedures to follow-up on information
that indicate a potential for illicit discharges and connections.
The City participates in the Regional dry weather monitoring meetings, where action levels and
procedures are being developed for all Copermittees. Best professional judgment in combination with the
actions levels and confidence intervals established by the Monitoring Workgroup will be used to conduct
all dry weather follow-up investigations.
The City plans to address, investigate, and enforce all reported illicit discharges and connections. A
performance goal of 95% is expected to meet Permit requirements. The 95% performance goal allows for
accounting of investigations “in-progress” where the source was has not been identified at the end of the
reporting year. Open investigations that cannot be resolved after 90 days due to the lack of additional
information or stalled investigation will be closed. Staff may use the information, if a repeat incident is
found at a later date.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Sources of complaints or referrals of illicit connections or illegal discharges include:
Observations (during inspections of commercial/industrial businesses),
Public Reporting (known or suspected discharges), and
Detections (Dry Weather Monitoring Program-Section 8.2).
During this reporting period, the Storm Water Program received 121 complaints of illegal discharges or
potential storm water pollution issues. Chart 1 shows who referred these complaints to the Storm Water
Program. A combined total of 52% of the calls or investigations were initiated in response to a referral
from other City departments (31%) or from City Storm Water Program inspectors (21%). Investigations
initiated from public reports accounted for 32% (25% to the storm water Hot line and 7% from to the
storm water e-mail address). Nine percent of the referrals came from outside agencies (typically the
County Department of Health) and 2% were a result of dry weather monitoring conducted by D-Max
personnel.
8.4 Elimination of Illicit Discharges and Connections
Action #1 - Provide a process to eliminate verified illicit discharges, discharge sources, and
connections once identified.

The City investigated all 121 complaints or referrals received during FY 01-02. Chart 2 shows the types
of discharges and potential discharge sources that were referred to the Storm Water Program.
The majority of referrals or investigations involved some type of washing to the storm drain (25%).
These were primarily car washing or surface cleaning complaints. Another 18% of the calls were related
to some type of dumping incident. These cases typically involved a resident or business disposing of
various types of pollutants into the street or storm drain. Examples include carpet cleaning wash water,
pool cleaning water and residue, paint wash, car fluids, and other types of wash waters. Construction and
landscaping projects accounted for a combined total of 25% of the incidents. These are broken out into
cement concrete/slurry discharges (13%) and improper disposal or storage of landscaping materials and
soil (12%).
During this reporting period, one illicit connection was identified and eliminated. This investigation was
the result of the dry weather monitoring investigation being conducted by D-Max and a City Storm Water
inspector. While conducting this routine dry weather monitoring, a channel containing foul-smelling,
discolored water was discovered. Samples were taken and additional City crews were called to
investigate what appeared to be a sewage leak. After three days of extensive investigations including dye
testing, a source was tracked to a business that manufactures health supplements. An inspection revealed
that in addition to dumping concentrated waste product into the parking lot and storm drain system, the
business also had an interior floor drain plumbed directly to a storm channel. The business had been

discharging wash water and bad batches of product down this drain. The business was issued a Cease and
Desist order. They immediately complied with the request, obtained necessary permits, and re-plumbed
this drain to the sanitary sewer system. They also implemented BMPs to eliminate practices that had
previously resulted in storm water discharges.
In cases where a source could be identified, the City required the responsible party to take actions
necessary and appropriate to cease the discharge and/or eliminate the source, block or divert the drainage
facilities, or remove the pollutant materials from the site. The responsible parties for the 121
investigations were evenly divided between businesses and residences. Voluntary elimination of illicit
discharges was strongly encouraged. However, when sufficient action was not taken to comply with
these requests, the City initiated additional enforcement actions. These are further described in the next
section.
8.5 Enforce Ordinances
Action #1 – Describe the Enforcement Action Plan for the City.
Carlsbad Municipal Code 15.12 and portions of Title 1 were revised and adopted by the City Council in
March 2002. This Chapter, along with Title 1 of the Code, established enforcement mechanisms to be
used for storm water violations. The list of enforcement mechanisms and descriptions is found in the
JURMP and a copy of the ordinance is in Appendix F.
During FY 01-02, the City responded to 121 complaints or storm water referrals. All of these incidents
were investigated, however in a few instances either a source was not determined or the source was not an
illegal discharge (i.e. groundwater seepage). Chart 3 shows the different types of enforcement actions
taken as a result of these 121 referrals. Twelve percent are identified as “no action.” These were
incidents where a discharge was not found as reported, when the investigation resulted in no violation
(ground water), or when the source of an illegal discharge could not be determined (i.e. illegal RV dumps
with no known witness). In most of these cases, City crews were dispatched to clean the storm drain or
affected area. The term ‘no action’ only refers to those cases where enforcement procedures were not
implemented.
Chart 3 shows that, in most cases (44%), a verbal warning was sufficient to stop the discharge or correct
the activity. Whenever appropriate, these verbal warnings were combined with distribution of
educational information which included BMP brochures or copies of the ordinance. Written warnings
were sent in response to 24% of the incidents. In some cases (10%), the investigation resulted in the
incident being referred to another City department or agency for follow-up. Typical interdepartmental
referrals are made to City construction site inspectors, code enforcement, and water conservation
personnel. The City is continuing to make progress on interdepartmental cooperation to identify and
correct potential storm water violations.
As the program has progressed, the City has issued more written warnings (24%) as a follow up to verbal
warnings. These are intended to provide documentation of the incident and to provide educational
materials about the City’s storm water pollution prevention requirements. Escalated enforcement actions
were taken 5% of the time (combined total of Notices of Violation, Cease and Desist orders, stop work
orders, and administrative penalties).
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #2 – Develop an Enforcement Response Plan to outline how each enforcement mechanism
will be applied.
An Enforcement Response Plan was developed in June 2002 to outline the procedures City inspectors will
follow to identify, document, and respond to storm water violations. The plan is intended to provide
guidance for City inspectors in selecting initial and follow-up enforcement actions, identifying
responsible staff, and specifying appropriate time frames for actions. A copy of the plan is in Appendix
E.
8.6 Prevent and Respond to Sewage Spills and Other Spills
Action #1 - Define the process for prevention, response, containment, remediation, and notification
of spills, including sewage.
Spill response procedures are described in the JURMP and are contained in the City’s Sewer Overflow
Prevention Plan (SOPP). The SOPP is a procedural prevention program that contains the guidelines for
inspections, preventive maintenance, spill/sewage overflow response, postings, and emergency response.
Inspection
During FY 01-02, the City conducted an average of 120 access hole inspections per month. The three
major trunk lines were visually inspected semi-annually. Checks of the sewer lift stations were conducted

twice per day. Video inspections were conducted eight times to spot check collection system mains and
to follow-up on any unusual reports from the cleaning crews. Also, all sewer related calls were responded
to immediately, averaging 9 responses per month.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled routine cleaning included bi-annual cleaning of all VCP mains and cleaning every three years
of all PVC mains. Trouble areas were cleaned more frequently, with grease areas cleaned quarterly, low
flow and flat lines are cleaned semi-annually, and siphons are cleaned annually. Approximately 96 miles
of sewer lines were cleaned last year. Also, lift station alarms were checked daily and high water alarms
were checked weekly. All hands staff training was conducted semi-annually, and tailgate meetings were
held quarterly. Public education was conducted at the Carlsbad Citizen’s Academy and information
mailers were sent as water bill inserts.
Spill/Sewage Overflow Response
The City responded to 30 spills in FY 01-02.
Posting
There was one posting at the Buena Vista Lagoon in response to a spill.
Emergency Response
Emergency response is done per the City’s SOPP.
8.7 Public Reporting of Illicit Discharges and Connections
Action #1 - Describe the use of the public Hot line for reporting illicit discharges, illegal
connections, spills and sewer overflows.
Complaints are received by phone or e-mail using the two public complaint Hot lines and e-mail address
listed below, which are currently operated by the City and the County of San Diego Department of
Environmental Health:
¾ City of Carlsbad Storm Water Hot line, (760) 602-2799
e-mail: stormwater@ci.carlsbad.ca.us
¾ County Storm Water Hot line, 1-888-846-0800
The County storm water Hot line is answered Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. –
5:00 p.m. and provides services in both English and Spanish and provides a voice
mail message for 24-hour public access. Relevant complaints received through the
County Hot line will be forwarded to the City Storm Water Protection Program.
During the third quarter of FY 01-02, the City Storm Water Program added a full-time Office Specialist to
the program. The Office Specialist answers the Hot line number during regular office hours and records
and routes the information to the appropriate personnel. After hours, the Hot line provides a voice mail
message and directs complainants to leave a message or be directed to dispatch if they are reporting an
after hours incident of the dumping of hazardous materials into the storm water system. The Office
Specialist also receives requests via e-mail and forwards them to the appropriate personnel for
investigation.
During this same time period, the Storm Water Program implemented a new Request for Action computer
program. This is a City-wide, web based program that allows City personnel to take a request or
complaint and have it routed electronically to the appropriate person for investigation. In cases where an
illegal discharge is occurring at that moment, the City employee taking the request is prompted by the
system to contact the Storm Water program directly so that an inspector can respond immediately. All
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
actions taken as part of the investigation are input into the system. The system provides tracking and
sends notices and reminders to ensure that every request is attended to until it is resolved. In the coming
year, this system will also become the storm water complaint database, used to generate yearly reports.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the calls or referrals to the City Storm Water Program were made to the
Hot line. Another 7% of the complaints were made through the storm water e-mail address. It is
expected that the number of calls to the storm water Hot line will increase in the next year in response to
the City publicizing this number.
8.8 Disposal of Used Oil and Toxic Materials
Action #1 - Describe the City’s used oil and household hazardous waste programs.
Used Oil Program
The City endorses a used oil recycling program where the public may recycle up to 5 gallons of used
motor oil at three locations. The used oil can only be accepted if it is not mixed with other liquids,
including water, antifreeze, gasoline, or parts cleaners.
The City is aware of the California Integrated Waste Management Board revised regulations for the Used
Oil Recycling Program. Chapter 4 of the Public Resources Code 48600-48695 is the proposed California
Oil Recycling Enhancement Act. The City will review the recycled oil program during Permit Year 2002
and look to implement any changes in Permit Year 2003.
Household Hazardous Waste Program
Under a contract with the City of Vista, Carlsbad residents can dispose of Household Hazardous Waste
(HHW) at a collection facility in Vista. During FY 01-02, 33.1 tons of HHW were collected from
Carlsbad residents.
The City is exploring the feasibility of curbside HHW as well as exploring an electronic waste collection
program.
8.9 Limiting Infiltration from Sanitary Sewer to MS4
Action #1 - Describe the program to limit and control the infiltration and seepage from the sanitary
sewer system to the MS4.
This program is described in the JURMP.
Action #2 - Describe the routine preventive maintenance activities currently performed on the
City’s sanitary sewer system and the MS4.
Operation of the sewer system in the City includes a continuous preventive maintenance and re-design
cycle. Once designed and built, the sanitary sewer system is maintained to preserve the design level of
the system as long as possible. As the system ages, preventive maintenance no longer is cost effective
and the system requires re-design. This constant maintenance/design loop keeps the sanitary sewer
system current with new technologies and additional flows from a steady growth environment. The focus
for preserving the sanitary sewer system is a solid preventive maintenance schedule.
The City performed routine preventative maintenance and inspections of the sanitary sewer system and
MS4, which included video inspections, access hole inspections (120 per month), semi-annual inspections
of three major trunk lines, and routine cleaning of sewer mains.

Section 9
Outreach and Education
9.0 Overview
Education is the foundation of any successful Urban Runoff Management Plan. The City is actively
working to implement a systematic approach to education and outreach that increases knowledge,
opportunity, and awareness of pollution prevention measures. Targeted audiences were educated using a
variety of outreach methods to progressively achieve the key stages of awareness and ownership of storm
water runoff pollution and prevention practices by using BMPs.
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
9.1 Municipal Department and Personnel
Action #1 - Conduct initial informational training for all City staff, both permanent and temporary,
to cover general storm water runoff topics and permit requirements.
The City’s Environmental Division, which is responsible for implementation of the Storm Water
Protection Program, initiated staff training on May 22, 2001, to inform employees of the new
requirements of Order 2001-01. A Storm Water Protection Outreach Team was established in July 2001
to develop outreach and education materials to comply with the Permit. The Storm Water Protection
Outreach Team is comprised of members from the Public Works Department including administration,
Operations and Maintenance, and Environmental Programs. This diverse team is responsible for all
outreach, educational programs, and training.
Outreach efforts have been conducted using a PowerPoint presentation prepared by City staff.
Presentations have been made at a variety of regularly scheduled staff meetings, as well as specially
scheduled meetings to increase attendance. By June 2002, the Environmental staff trained nearly 40% of
the City’s full-time employees. Several departments have attended these training sessions including
Public Works, Fire Services, Administrative Services, Planning, and the City Manager’s Office.
A master training list will be updated by Storm Water Protection staff on a monthly basis to reflect new
employees as well as employees who have left the City. New employees will be trained on storm water
runoff as part of their general introduction to City government operations and services. Also, departments
such as Water and Sewer Operations, Street Maintenance and Development Services are training new
employees on storm water issues as part of their initial job training.
Informational training to cover general storm water runoff topics and permit requirements is planned as a
continuous effort and will include direct training, such as described above. Other methods for providing
training are described in this Action Plan.
Although we did not meet our original training target in FY 01-02, a formal training program is planned
that should achieve the targeted training goals by June 2003.
Action #2 - Develop and implement a training program for City staff on the requirements of the
urban runoff management program as it applies to the specific activities for each job classification.
A training program for job specific activities and classifications is being developed and will be
implemented as described in the Municipal component of the JURMP (Section 2.1.2 – Action #2).
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
See Section 2.1.2 of this annual report for a listing of positions/departments that work in and around
municipal facilities and require activity/job specific training. Also see section 2.1.2 of this report for a
listing of positions/departments that have received job specific training as it relates to storm water
protection.
The City will continue to develop, modify, and implement the City storm water training programs.
Action #3 - Distribute outreach and education materials to employees.
BMP booklets, fact sheets and other literature prepared for public dissemination is made available to City
staff prior to general distribution. Employees generally receive storm water protection BMP booklets or
other relevant fact sheets with paycheck distribution. All Storm Water Protection Program outreach
materials will be distributed to City employees in this manner.
During this report period, City staff received information about storm water protection through various
media types, including the following:
1. In November 2001, the Storm Water Protection Program went on-line. Employees were able to
download BMPs directly from the website.
2. Brochures entitled “Motor Oil”, “Car Washing”, “Pet Waste” and “Lawn & Garden Care”
were distributed to employees with their paychecks.
3. Various workshops, including topics (not all inclusive) such as SUSMP, storm drain rules &
regulations, environmental crimes and wastewater management were held throughout the year.
4. Bi-annual updates on the Storm Water Protection Program were made to Council in October 2001
and February 2002.
City employees are continuously reminded, through these efforts, about the City’s Storm Water Hot line
phone number and web page.
Action #4 - Publish bulletins in newsletters, announcements, newspapers, and other materials
readily available to employees.
General storm water runoff information and BMPs are published in the City’s departmental newsletters,
on promotional items, in fact sheets and brochures, and on the Internet. All outreach and education
materials include the City’s Storm Water Hot line phone number, website, web email address, and other
pertinent contact information.
1. Public Works News, a departmental newsletter which is distributed Citywide, featured an article
on storm water protection in the September 2001 edition.
2. The Community Services Guide, a city publication distributed to employees and residents 3-4
times per year, featured an article addressing storm water issues in the December 2001 edition.
Action #5 - Maintain the City’s Internet and Intranet website to provide employees with additional
resources.
In December 2001, the City introduced a new website dedicated specifically to the Storm Water
Protection Program. The new and innovative website includes information employees and the public can
access through Internet and Intranet browsers (employees only). The website includes published BMP
booklets and information about booklets proposed or under development by the Storm Water Protection
Program. All materials are properly formatted and can be easily downloaded by most personal computer
users.
The Internet web site will be expanded to include other educational materials including brochures, fact
sheets, and Storm Water Protection procedures. The Storm Water Protection Outreach Team and the
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
City’s Information Technology Department are responsible for developing, maintaining, and keeping the
information on the web page current.
All existing BMP brochures are available on the Internet web site. Additional information will be added
after obtaining final approval from the Outreach Team.
9.2 Construction Site Owners and Developers
Action #1 - Conduct initial informational training for all City staff involved with planning and
construction to cover general storm water runoff topics and permit requirements.
Staff training was initiated on May 22, 2001. The Storm Water Protection Outreach Team was
established in July 2001 to develop outreach and education materials to meet compliance with the Permit.
Outreach efforts have been conducted using a PowerPoint presentation prepared by City staff.
Presentations have been made at a variety of regularly scheduled staff meetings, as well as, specially
scheduled meetings to increase attendance. As of June 2002, the Environmental staff had trained nearly
40% of the City’s full-time staff. Several departments have attended these training sessions including
Public Works, Fire Services, Administrative Services, Planning, and the City Manager’s Office.
Action #2 - Specific training for City staff associated with planning and construction will be
customized by job classification and incorporated into routine staff meetings.
Employees are trained on specific topics during biweekly staff meetings (or other frequency as
established by the section or manager). Training takes place as part of “case reviews” conducted by the
lead inspector and/or the supervisor during staff meetings.
“Case reviews” typically include review and discussion of projects that present unusual or challenging
circumstances. Staff review SWPPPs or BMPs that may present difficulties, problems or have proven to
be more successful than anticipated. The process of sharing field and practical experience expands the
skills and knowledge of the City staff. Some “case reviews” may involve finding alternative solutions or
recommendations for projects that present new challenges to staff.
City staff involved in planning, development, construction, and inspection activities receive on-going
training as it pertain to their duties and responsibilities. Additional training by professional organizations,
educational institutions, and other government agencies may be offered as needed.
Action #3 - Publish bulletins in newsletters, announcements, newspapers and other materials
available to construction site owners and developers.
General storm water runoff information and BMPs are published in the City’s departmental newsletters,
on promotional items, in fact sheets and brochures, and on the Internet. All outreach and education
materials include the City’s Storm Water Hot line phone number, website, web email address, and other
pertinent contact information.
Action #4 - Distribute informational literature, standards, procedures and policies to construction
site owners and developers.
Informational literature containing standards, procedures, policies and other information relevant to
development, planning and construction SWPPPs and BMPs will be made available to construction site
owners and developers. Outreach and education materials will be made readily available to ensure that
all interested parties have access to the appropriate information.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #5 - Maintain the City’s Internet website to provide construction site owners and
developers with necessary documents, standards, and other resources to comply with all storm
water requirements.
The Storm Water Outreach Team will consider adding certain documents, standards, BMPs, and other
resources available to external customers as part of phase 3 upgrades to the City’s Storm Water Internet
page. Phase 3 of the web page upgrades are planned for the Fall 2002, just prior to the rainy season.
Action #6 - As needed, offer information on training workshops or conduct training workshops for
construction site owners and developers.
Training workshops covered topics such as Wastewater Management Policies, Storm Drain Management,
Facility Inspections, Best Management Practices, Erosion Control, etc. Workshops were held on
February 21, 2001, May 15, 2002 and June 20, 2002.
Other North County cities and the County of San Diego also held construction workshops. City
employees, developers, and construction site owners were encouraged to attend these workshops as well.
9.3 Industrial Owners and Operators
Action #1 - Industry representatives will receive general storm water education through
informational letters, association newsletters, and other outreach materials.
The City has prioritized all industrial businesses (see Industrial Component in Section 3) for inspection
and has been providing general storm water information in a variety of formats and media. Industrial
groups were prioritized using database lists, business and trade association contacts, and industry
newsletters and bulletins. Storm Water Ordinance revision notices were distributed to industrial facilities
via postcards and flyers in December 2001. Industries were invited to attend workshops where they could
voice concerns, ask questions, and provide comments about the ordinance changes. Other efforts have
included the distribution of information about general permit requirements, BMPs, SWPPPs, and other
relevant information during the Storm Water Industrial Facility inspections.
Workshops, training sessions, and meetings organized by the City and/or the Watershed Copermitees for
industry groups, were also an effective means of providing storm water information in FY 01-02. On
September 25, 2001, the Storm Water Program Manager gave a presentation on the requirements of the
Municipal Storm Water Permit at the CAER group of the Industrial Environmental Association meeting
in Carlsbad. The information and presentation were well received.
Action #2 - Industry specific BMP information may be developed, as needed, for specific audiences
selected by SIC code or identified by other methods.
The City will follow a proactive approach of focused and targeted educational workshops with facility
inspections to address site specific needs and customize BMPs or SWPPPs (where needed) that address
compliance issues at each facility. Workshops may be planned as industries and issues are identified. If
large numbers of common industries do not exist or workshops are not feasible, outreach and education
will be performed as described in Action #3 below.
Industrial inspections are scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 02-03.
Action #3 - Industry representatives will be given specific BMP information and general storm
water education during site visits and inspections.
Industrial inspections are scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 02-03.
9.4 Commercial Owners and Operators
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #1 – Commercial business representatives will receive general storm water education
through informational letters, association newsletters, and other general outreach media.
The City has prioritized all commercial groups (see Commercial Component in Section 4) for inspection
and will provide general storm water information in a variety of formats and media. General information
about “High Priority” commercial groups will come from database lists, business and trade association
contacts, and commercial newsletters and bulletins. In addition to working on new information materials,
Storm Water Ordinance revision notices were distributed to commercial businesses in December 2001.
Other efforts will include distribution of information about general permit requirements, BMPs, SWPPPs,
and other relevant information during the Storm Water Industrial Facility inspections.
Workshops, training sessions, and meetings organized by the City and/or the Watershed Copermitees for
commercial businesses, was also an effective means of providing storm water information in FY 01-02.
The Storm Water Protection Program staff conducted several presentations on the requirements of the
Municipal Storm Water Permit for a variety of commercial business groups including The Carlsbad
Chamber of Commerce and the Carlsbad Village Business Association.
In October 2001, the City’s “Restaurant Best Management Practices” booklet, in both English and
Spanish, was finalized. A workshop was held by the Storm Water Protection Program for Carlsbad
restaurants to introduce the new requirements of the Municipal Storm Water Permit, restaurant BMPs,
employee training and education, and other related topics. The program, combined with inspections, has
been very successful in introducing this “High Priority” commercial group to storm water pollution
prevention principals.
In June 2001, the City, in coordination with D-Max, finalized a “Model Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan for Car Dealerships and Auto Repair Shops.” A workshop was held for Carlsbad automotive
dealerships to introduce the new requirements of Order 2001-01. Preparation of SWPPPs, BMPs and
other related subjects were also discussed during the workshop. The Storm Water Protection Program
was successful in introducing this “High Priority” industry to the Program. The workshop was followed
by a series of advisory inspections to further educate and address non-compliance issues.
The City will continue to follow this general approach with focused, targeted educational workshops and
group meetings, and facility inspections to customize BMPs or SWPPPs (where needed) for specific
issues at each facility.
Action #2 – Specific BMP information will be developed for commercial businesses, as needed, for
specific topics selected by SIC code or other identified industry groups.
Specific BMP booklets or guidance will be developed, as necessary, for commercial activities that may
impact receiving water quality. The City’s “Restaurant Best Management Practices” booklet is an
example of that approach. As part of the inspection program, the City will analyze the feasibility of
grouping commercial businesses for the purpose of developing activity specific BMP information; this
effort will also be reviewed at the Watershed level to identify opportunities that may not be available at
the local level.
Commercial business personnel will be trained to understand the requirements of the BMPs for the
activities at each facility. City staff will also verify that such training is implemented and conducted as
required. This verification will be a standard practice during scheduled high priority commercial site
inspections.
The City will follow this proactive approach of focused and targeted educational workshops with facility
inspections to address site specific needs and customize BMPs or SWPPPs (where needed) that address
specific issues at each facility.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
Action #3 – Commercial business representatives will be given specific BMP information and
general storm water education during site visits and inspections.
Outreach materials are distributed to commercial facility representatives during inspections. These
materials may include existing BMPs from the City’s BMP booklets, Regional BMP booklets (as
produced by the County of San Diego or other cities), the California Storm Water Best Management
Handbooks (1993), County of San Diego Guidance Documents, Caltrans Statewide Storm Water
Management Plan, and other storm water related materials.
In some cases, commercial businesses may be required to develop a SWPPP with specific BMPs that
address specific storm water issues identified during the advisory inspection. Selection of BMPs will be
made by the business with verification of implementation and effectiveness of BMPs performed by City
staff and the commercial business representative. will also verify the implementation and effectiveness of
BMPs, training programs, and spill response during follow-up inspections.
.
9.5 Residential Community, General Public, and School Children
Action #1 - Residential community and general public outreach will be addressed at the local,
watershed, and regional levels using the most efficient and effective outreach methods available.
The City initiated its Storm Water Protection Program Outreach efforts in May 2001 and formed and
Outreach Team on July 1, 2001. City staff initiated efforts and completed the following action items:
• Public Presentations
• Creation of a City Internet Web Site for the Storm Water Protection Program
• Development of the City’s Bilingual Storm Water Hot line
• Creation of Storm Water Protection Program email address
• BMP Brochure development
• General Outreach efforts through printed ads, press releases, media interviews, water bill stuffers
These efforts will continue to evolve during the life of the permit as the program develops and matures.
Public Presentations
Outreach efforts have been conducted using a Power Point presentation prepared by City staff.
Presentations were made to a variety of community groups during regularly scheduled meetings. Storm
Water Protection Program presentations were conducted at the Carlsbad Citizens Academy (October 4,
2001 and February 21, 2002), the High Noon Rotary Club of Carlsbad (October 22, 2001), the League of
Women Voters (November 15, 2001), Kids Day at the Carlsbad Flower Fields (March 23-24, 2002),
Earth Day Fair at Balboa Park (April 21, 2002), and the Public Works Fair (May 22, 2002). These public
presentations will continue to be offered by City staff.
A watershed model, EnviroScape, was purchased to enhance outreach efforts during public presentations.
The watershed model demonstrates how various types of pollutants (i.e., oil, soap, fertilizers, pesticides,
industrial sludge, etc.) can impact storm water quality.
City Internet Web page for the Storm Water Protection Program
The first phase of the Storm Water Protection Program Web page includes general information about the
program, BMPs, useful links, contact information, and other related storm water protection information.
The web page will be updated regularly as new educational materials and BMPs are developed for
specific commercial, residential, and/or industry activities. The Outreach Team mailed postcards and
letters to several hundred citizens, contractors and developers, industries, and environmental groups to
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
announce the new web page. Other items under consideration for the web page are fact sheets, self-
inspection checklists for industries and commercial businesses, employee training resources, and a
children’s resource section.
The City’s Storm Water Hot line
The Storm Water Outreach Team has streamlined and expanded options for citizens who call the City’s
Storm Water Hot line. The Hot line menu options have been translated into Spanish to accommodate
Carlsbad’s growing Hispanic population.
Storm Water Protection Program email address
As part of the web page enhancements a new email address was created to accommodate complaints,
requests, and questions via the Internet. Citizens can email the Storm Water Protection Program at
stormwater@ci.carlsbad.ca.us. City staff will follow-up and respond to email messages, as necessary.
BMP Brochure Development
The Storm Water Outreach Team began developing BMP booklets in July 2001. Several BMP booklets
have been developed covering a variety of topics including general storm water protection, restaurant
management, proper use and disposal of motor oil, car washing, pet waste, landscape and garden care,
and auto repair. Other BMP booklets under development include impervious surface cleaning, concrete
and mortar application, grease trap maintenance, protecting privately owned storm drains, swimming pool
and spa maintenance. BMP booklets will also be developed at the watershed level in collaboration with
Watershed Copermittees. The City will review regional outreach efforts in order to supplement local
outreach.
General Outreach Efforts -Media Relations
City staff issued press releases to the media regarding ordinance revisions and several articles have
appeared in local newspapers and bulletins. The press releases and subsequent interviews lead to
published articles in the North County Times, San Diego Union Tribune, Coast News, and the Carlsbad
Community Services and Recreation Guide. These efforts are considered valuable and will continue to be
an integral part of the storm water outreach program.
The growing medium of cable television is also being used to provide the public with information about
the storm water protection program. The Community Update is a 30-minute video broadcast aired
quarterly on the local cable access channel. The Community Update featured the Storm Water Protection
Program on May 28, 2002. This 8-minute segment introduced residents to the Program, the importance
of storm water protection, best management practices and how they can be used for everyday activities,
and contact information for the Program. Other items under consideration for video broadcast are :30 and
:60 second public service announcements about the importance of properly using, recycling, and
disposing of motor oil.
The City plans to continue these efforts and identify additional methods to cover the required topics listed
in the Permit requirement.
Action #2 - Residential community and general public outreach will include data from the Baseline
(2001) North San Diego County Storm Water Public Awareness Survey.
The City spearheaded an effort to collect baseline data from the North County public on storm water
related issues. The Baseline (2001) North San Diego County Storm Water Public Awareness Survey was
completed for the Carlsbad Watershed Copermittees in January 2002. The survey will be used as a tool to
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
customize outreach efforts both at the watershed and local level. The survey results were tabulated for the
North County area and for each individual city. The survey data will help to identify outreach efforts that
are beneficial to the entire watershed, as well as those appropriate at the local level.
The City also collected data on storm water related issues through its annual 2001 Public Opinion Survey.
This survey and the Baseline Survey will be used to assess future outreach priorities.
Action #3 - Coordinate and cooperate with North County Outreach Group to enhance and expand
outreach efforts to maximize the positive effects on the environment and water quality in North San
Diego County.
The North County Storm Water Program (NCSWP) is a collaborative effort between North County
Watersheds to educate the public on the relationship between human activities and their impact on
regional water quality. The NCSWP’s first collaborative outreach effort was the 2001 Baseline survey.
This group typically meets monthly to plan and develop joint outreach activities and materials. The
NCSWP completed several outreach projects including storm water “door hangers” and a General BMP
booklet.
Action #4 - Incorporate and develop storm water information, education, and messages into
environmental programs for school children.
In May 2002, the Storm Water Outreach Team participated in the Annual Public Works Fair held at the
Carlsbad City Library. The event was targeted for school-age children and addressed issues such as water
conservation, storm water protection, and environmental awareness. Approximately 300 children from
Hope Elementary and Buena Vista Elementary attended the Public Works Fair.
The NCSWP will continue to address and develop outreach efforts and opportunities for school-age
children. The most effective method to reach across City jurisdictional boundaries will be to work on
broad, collaborative efforts. The North County Water Agencies have organized programs related to water
conservation that most cities can use. These programs will be reviewed to identify effective way to
incorporate storm water protection messages and information for school children. City staff will consider
additional local outreach efforts in the upcoming year. The first phase will focus on identifying existing
community programs, library or community displays, and community events that can incorporate storm
water pollution prevention themes.
The City’s initial effort will identify opportunities for school programs by organizing a calendar of events,
reviewing school curriculums, and discussing outreach programs with educators. Materials and resources
for children will be researched and evaluated to determine if they are consistent with the needs of the
school and the community. An implementation plan will be developed after the initial phase is
completed.
9.6 Quasi-Government Agencies/Districts (i.e. educational institutions, water
districts, sanitation districts, etc.).
It is anticipated that most of the quasi-government agencies within the City will fall under one of the
existing commercial or industrial classification categories of high, medium, or low priority, based on the
criteria used to identify facilities and “businesses”.
For example, as a result of the thorough review of all businesses and industries (See Industrial and
Commercial Components for details), activities at the Encina Wastewater Plant have been captured under
the inspection program. The Encina Wastewater Authority, the regional wastewater treatment plant for
the North County, is listed as a “High Priority” industrial facility. Outreach and education for this facility
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
would be identified during the initial inspection of the facility. As such, this facility’s outreach and
education efforts would be addressed as described for the Industrial component.
Action #1 - Identify and classify (commercial or industrial) quasi-government agencies within the
City jurisdiction and verify inspection program priorities (high, medium, low).
City staff will verify if the quasi-government agency was captured by the initial classification of
businesses and industries as ‘high, medium or low” priority. A cursorily review found that the most
significant “facilities” are included in the inspection priority list. A thorough review will be conducted to
verify agencies whose operations would not be covered under the commercial and industrial inspection
program. Outreach efforts would then be addressed by either Actions #2 or #3 below.
Action #2 - Assess outreach and education efforts within context of industrial, commercial or
municipal inspection program.
As inspections are conducted, similar outreach methods described for commercial, industrial, and
municipal activities or facilities will be used for quasi-government agencies. In some cases, there may be
opportunities to combine outreach and BMP information from the Municipal program into the quasi-
government programs. Storm Water Protection Program staff will assess the need for specific outreach
and education efforts that may not be covered by other outreach programs.
Action #3 - Develop outreach efforts needed for this target audience that may not already be
covered under existing outreach audiences in this JURMP.
When it is necessary to customized outreach materials or BMPs, staff will review available resources and
develop materials to address the specific activity. It is anticipated that the majority of materials for the
quasi-government audience will be applicable to the industrial, commercial or municipal activities.

Section 10
Public Participation Component
10.0 Overview
The City is enhancing its efforts to meet the Public Participation Component (F.6) of the Permit. This
section discusses Permit requirements that apply to the Public Participation Component of the JURMP
and what methodologies will be employed to include citizens, interested parties, and elected officials in
the implementation of the City’s Storm Water Protection Program
The numbers and actions listed below follow the format of the JURMP. All actions listed in the JURMP
are repeated here, along with a description of accomplishments during this first annual reporting period.
10.1 Public Participation
Action #1 - Participation by the City in existing stakeholder groups, such as, the Carlsbad
Watershed Network.
City staff has been actively participating in the Carlsbad Watershed Network (CWN) and the North
County Outreach Group (now the North County Storm Water Program, NCSWP) in order to present a
uniform message upon implementation of the JURMP. The City will update the CWN at different stages
of implementation by making presentations, communicating issues, and seeking feedback from the group.
The CWN meets monthly which allows for continuous interaction with City staff. The NCSWP also
meets monthly to discuss ideas and share information to ensure that residents are receiving a clear,
consistent message about storm water protection and water quality throughout the North County region.
Efforts will be made to seek additional opportunities of this type to involve the public, stakeholders or
business in water quality efforts within the Jurisdiction and at the Watershed level.
Action #2 - Strategies to involve the public (citizens and businesses) in the implementation of the
JURMP.
Various strategies will be used to educate and engage the public in the implementation of the JURMP.
The City will continue its Outreach and Education efforts as an integral step towards public participation
The City will continue to use to present new and alternative ideas on BMP implementation and
development. BMP booklets will be finalized and updated to include public or business input. This effort
should make BMP booklets more effective and provide the target audience with ownership conservation
issues and solutions.
As described in other sections of this annual report, the public may also participate in a number of ways
by contacting City staff directly. A summary of these opportunities is given below and described in
section 9.5 of this report:
• Public Presentations
• City Internet Web Site for the Storm Water Protection Program
• Enhancement of the City’s Storm Water Hot line
• Creation of Storm Water Protection Program email address
• BMP Brochure development
• General outreach efforts through printed ads, press releases, media interviews, and water bill
stuffers

Section 11
Assessment of JURMP Effectiveness
11.0 Overview
Action #1 - Description of strategies to assess the long-term effectiveness of the individual sections
of the JURMP.
City staff participated with the Copermittees in the regional effort to draft common elements for
assessment. The measurement standards included in the JURMP (Section 11) describe these regionally
developed standards. It has been noted by Tetra-Tech and the RWQCB that this component does not
contain measurable goals necessary to quantify and track progress. The RWQCB also conducted a review
of the City’s JURMP and noted that the assessment section was inadequate. This comment was
consistently received by the other Copermittees and will be addressed in the coming year as a regional
activity.
The City initiated a city wide Performance Measurement System in 1999 that lead to the first report
entitled “State of Effectiveness Report” in February 2001. A systematic approach to continuously assess
service and program effectiveness and efficiency has been implemented as a part of this system. Each
year, the Carlsbad City Council reviews the Community Strategic Planning and Council Policy Setting
and provides guidance to City staff on developing the regional assessment measures. This information
will be updated in the JURMP and submitted in the next annual report.
Action #2 - Create initial measurements for each critical component of the JURMP and initiate
collection of baseline data to be used in long-term assessment.
The initial measurement standards for each of the critical components of the JURMP are listed in the
following eleven tables. Baseline or initial data will be collected in FY 02-03 where it is not already
available in City records and logs. These tables and measurement standards will be updated to reflect
revisions made regionally to better assess program effectiveness.

Section 12
Fiscal Analysis Component
12.0 Overview
Historically, all costs to manage the City’s Urban Runoff Management Program (URMP) activities have
been funded from one of two funding sources. Maintenance and operation, education and administrative
expenditures have been funded though the City’s General Fund. Storm water facility capital expenditures
are generally funded from developer revenues generated by the City’s adopted Local Drainage Area Fee
program or the City’s General Fund. Occasionally, new drainage facilities or repairs and/or rehabilitation
of existing drainage facilities are funded from other road-related funding resources such as the Gas Tax or
TransNet sales tax revenues. The City’s strategy is to continue funding all URMP activities from the
General Fund and identify, evaluate and, implement appropriate alternative funding sources. Funding for
any additional URMP activities necessitated by the Regional Board Order will, for the time being, be
funded from the City’s General Fund.
The City’s annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identify the amount and
source of funding for all storm water maintenance, operation, education, administrative and capital
construction costs proposed for each new fiscal year. Additionally, the CIP details the costs and
approximate timing for the construction of City funded drainage improvements from the current fiscal
year to y build-out. The drainage facilities included in the CIP are generally larger Master Drainage
Planned facilities funded from the City’s adopted Local Drainage Area fees or smaller miscellaneous
facilities required to mitigate existing localized drainage problems. The latter type of drainage
improvements is typically funded from the General Fund. Because Carlsbad is a growing city, a
significant amount of additional drainage improvements are constructed by developers as a condition of
development and dedicated to the City upon completion of construction. The timing and value of these
developer-constructed improvements vary considerably from year to year based upon economic and other
conditions that determine development patterns.
Beginning in the FY 01-02 Operating Budget, the City established a separate special revenue account for
storm water protection. These special revenue funds pay for all non-capital expenditures for the URMP
including sampling, testing, inspection, enforcement, education and administration. Additional
expenditures for maintenance and operation of URMP activities including street sweeping, storm drain
and inlet cleaning, basin maintenance and pollutant filter replacement, are incorporated within the City’s
Street Maintenance budget funded by the General Fund.
Action #1 - Establish budgetary requirements for new URMP activities necessitated by this
Regional Board Order and incorporate into the FY 2002-03 and future City budgets. Continue to
fund all URMP costs from the City’s General Fund and the revenues from the Local Drainage Area
Fee program.
The City established a special revenue fund within its FY 01-02 Operating Budget for the purpose of
identifying and funding all storm water protection activities required to comply with and administer Order
2001-01. These special revenue funds pay for all non-capital expenditures for the JURMP including
sampling, testing, inspection, enforcement, education and administration. The total FY 01-02 budget for
these activities was $1,873,190. Additional expenditures for maintenance and operation of the City’s
URMP activities, including street sweeping, storm drain and inlet cleaning, basin maintenance and
pollutant filter replacement, are incorporated in the City’s Street Maintenance budget funded by the City’s
General Fund.
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
In compliance with the City approved budgetary goals for FY 01-02, a special storm water program
financing team composed of representatives from Public Works Department, Finance Department and the
City Attorney’s Office was formed. The expressed goal of the storm water program financing team was
to review the current and proposed storm water permit activities within the City and develop alternative
mechanisms to finance the City’s storm water program. Until the City Council acts on any of the potential
alternative funding mechanisms proposed by the storm water program financing team, the City is
committed to continue to funding all storm water protection activities from it’s General Fund.
As part of adopted FY 02-03 Operating Budget, the City approved adequate funding within the Storm
Water Protection Special Revenue Fund budget to fund all new, proposed, and ongoing URMP activities
necessitated by Order 2001-01(approximately 1.3 million). Funds to pay for the existing ongoing and
new URMP activities continue to be budgeted from the City’s General Fund.
Funds for the design and construction of new drainage improvements are generated from a combination
of developer exactions, Local Drainage Area fees, assessment districts, General Fund and State and
Federal grants. With the exception of developer exactions, in the form of constructed drainage
improvements, all funds for the construction of new drainage improvements were incorporated into the
City’s FY 02-03 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The adopted FY 02-03 CIP budget includes
$254,000 for preparation of an update to the City’s existing Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality
Management Plan and Local Drainage Area fee program.
Action #2 - Prepare an URMP Alternative Financing Mechanism Study for approval and
recommendation by the Carlsbad City Council. Incorporate Council recommendation into the
City’s FY 2002-03 goals and budgetary process.
Over the course of FY 01-02, the City’s storm water program financing team commissioned a study by
Brown and Caldwell, a consulting engineering firm, to review alternative mechanisms for financing the
City’s storm water protection activities. The City’s internal Leadership Team (comprised of the City
Manager, City Attorney, Public Works Director, Community Development Director, Administrative
Services Director and Finance Director) has reviewed the study to determine which financing
mechanisms to pursue. The City Leadership Team recommended pursuit of the following financing
mechanisms:
1. Surcharges on the City’s existing water, sewer and trash utility billings to the extent such
surcharges can be reasonably and fairly apportioned among service users commensurate with
the service provided.
2. New City processing fee for plan check and inspection of Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plans prepared for private development projects.
3. New City processing fee for administration and inspection of storm water discharge permits
issued to commercial and industrial businesses.
In addition, the City Leadership Team authorized the storm water program finance team to continue
research and pursuit of the creation of a potential City storm water utility. City staff will proceed with the
implementation of the utility surcharges and new processing fees in FY 02-03 and finalize
recommendations for a potential storm water utility in FY 03-04. Council approved the FY 02-03
Operating Budget with adequate financing and direction for staff to proceed with the above noted
recommendations of the City Leadership Team.
Action #3 - Pursue establishment of URMP alternative funding mechanism, if different from
General Fund, during FY 2002-03.
As noted above, a storm water program financing team has been established to explore alternative
financing mechanisms to fund storm water protection measures. The City staff assigned to the storm
water program financing team were provided with written goals to pursue establishment of new utility
City of Carlsbad JURMP Annual Report for July 1, 2001 – June 30, 2002
surcharges and processing fees to pay for ongoing and proposed activities in support of the storm water
protection program during FY02-03.
Action #4 - Prepare an update to the City’s Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality
Management Plan. Revise the Local Drainage Area Fees in accordance with the revisions
recommended in the Master Drainage Plan update.
During FY 01-02, the existing geographic mapping program for drainage facilities was reviewed and
updated. Mapping for all drainage outfalls to the Pacific Ocean and City lagoons was also completed.
Mapping and collection of the inventory data for the remaining drainage facilities within the City is
continuing and expected to be complete by the spring of 2003. City Council authorized funding in the
amount of $254,000 within the FY 02-03 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget to fund an update
to the City’s Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan and Local Drainage Area fee
program. Because the Master Drainage Plan update necessitates an environmental impact report,
completion of the master plan update and revision of the Local Drainage Area fees is not anticipated to be
complete until spring 2004.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a new Municipal Storm Water Permit
(NPDES Order No. 2001-01, “Permit”) to the City of Carlsbad (City) on February 21, 2001. This
Permit requires the City to prevent and minimize the discharge of pollutants that flow from the
municipal separate storm sewer system into waters of the Unites States. In order to satisfy these
Permit requirements, the City revised various sections of Title 15 Grading and Drainage (Chapter
15.12, Storm Water Management and Discharge Control and Title 6 Health and Sanitation (Chapter
6.08 Solid Waste). These changes were adopted by the City Council on March 5, 2002.
The City’s Stormwater Protection Program (“Program”) is responsible for implementing the Permit
requirements for existing commercial, industrial and residential development, as well as illicit
discharge detection and elimination. The City’s goal is to obtain voluntary compliance with the
ordinance and Permit requirements through public education, outreach and inspections. However,
enforcement actions may become necessary when these measures fail to result in compliance.
The purpose of this Enforcement Response Plan (“Plan”) is to provide guidance for the City’s Storm
Water Program staff in consistently applying the available enforcement tools necessary to bring
individuals and businesses into compliance with the Permit requirements. The Plan will be used to
help evaluate each situation objectively and to apply best professional judgment when determining
the most appropriate course of enforcement action. The Plan will be reviewed annually and revised
as needed to improve operations or to comply with changes to the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
ENFORCEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Appropriate enforcement actions used to achieve compliance should be proportional to the alleged
violation, reflective of the facility’s or individual’s compliance history, and protective of human health
and the environment. In addition, an appropriate enforcement action, which in some cases may
include a civil penalty and recovery of economic benefit, sends a message of deterrence to the
regulated community.
In order for the Program to maintain credibility with the regulated community and the public in
general, the City must be consistent and fair when implementing enforcement actions. The regulated
community should expect a similar response to comparable violations, when evaluating its impact on
human health and the environment. However, the circumstances of each case and site will be
considered and be managed accordingly. To ensure fairness, the City will remain receptive to good-
faith arguments - based on fact, law, or policy - that a given situation is different and should be
treated differently, that a facility is in fact in compliance, or that a severe penalty is not warranted
given the specific circumstances of the violation.
The City’s fundamental principle in choosing a course of action is to use the least adversarial method
appropriate to the situation that will achieve compliance, correction, and/or deterrence. However, the
full range of enforcement tools available will be used, as necessary, to achieve compliance goals in a
timely manner.
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan

INVESTIGATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE
The authority to conduct inspections is found in Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) 15.12.100.
Standard inspection procedures and forms used are detailed in Components 3, 4, and 5 of the City’s
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Plan (JURMP). Illicit discharge detection and elimination
procedures are found in Component 8 of the JURMP. A complete copy of the CMC and the JURMP
are available for public inspection at the City Clerk’s office and on the City’s website at
www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us.
City storm water inspectors and other staff members with enforcement authority (“enforcement
officers”, defined in CMC 1.10.010(A)(4)) shall have the authority to investigate individuals or
commercial and industrial operations to determine compliance with the CMC, Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), or Best Management Practices (BMP’s) specified by the City.
Enforcement officers may use the tools listed in CMC Section 15.12.100 (inspections, sampling and
testing, photography, records review) to investigate noncompliance with the Permit and the CMC.
The enforcement officers can document observed violations and determine necessary responses to
obtain compliance with the Permit and the CMC. Depending on the severity of the violation,
enforcement responses can range from a verbal warning to civil or criminal court actions as outlined
below.
TYPES OF ENFORCEMENT RESPONSES
Violations are classified based on the seriousness of the alleged violations (i.e., duration, magnitude,
willfulness) and its impact, or threat of impact, on human health and the environment. The
enforcement responses available to enforcement officers include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Verbal and/or written warnings;
2. Notice of Violation;
3. Compliance schedule;
4. Cease and Desist Orders or Stop Work Orders;
5. Notice to Clean, Test and/or Abate;
6. Suspension, revocation, or denial of permits or license;
7. Administrative penalties and fines;
8. Declaration of a Public Nuisance; and,
9. Civil and/or criminal court actions.
The numbering sequence above does not indicate the exact order in which these enforcement
responses must be used. Enforcement officers will apply or recommend any of the enforcement tools
as appropriate according to best professional judgment and the guidelines of this Plan. If an
enforcement officer observes a significant or immediate threat to water quality, action will be taken to
require the responsible party to immediately cease the discharge or threatening action. A description
of the enforcement responses listed above, follows:
1. Verbal and/or Written Warnings
A common initial method of requesting corrective action and obtaining compliance is a verbal or
written warning to the responsible party (individual, facility owner or operator). Verbal warnings are
often sufficient to achieve correction of the violation, often while the enforcement officer is present at
the site. After notifying the responsible party of the violation, the enforcement officer should
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 4
document the violation in the file, including any time frames given to correct the problem or schedule
follow-up inspections. In judging the degree of severity, the enforcement officer may also take into
account any history of similar or repeated violations at the site.
2. Notice of Violation (NOV)
A written NOV may be used when verbal or written warnings are not effective in correcting the
violation, or additional documentation or action is warranted based on the severity of the violation.
CMC Section 1.10.030 outlines the required contents of an NOV.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 1.10.040 specifies how notices should be served on the alleged
violating individual or entity. Program staff will typically send the NOV by both certified mail (return
receipt requested) and by regular U.S. mail.
3. Compliance Schedules
A compliance schedule may be issued to the alleged violator to ensure that multiple violations or
more complex violations requiring capital expenditures or improvements are corrected by specified
deadlines.
4. Cease and Desist Orders or Stop Work Orders
An enforcement officer may issue an order to cease and desist a discharge, practice, or operation
that is occurring or is likely to take place in violation of the Storm Water Management and Discharge
Control ordinance. The enforcement officer may direct the responsible party to take appropriate
remedial or preventive action to prevent the violation from recurring, or may issue a time schedule for
compliance.
Whenever any work is being done contrary to the provisions of the City ordinance, the enforcement
officer may issue a written order requiring that the work be stopped until further notice.
5. Notice to Clean, Test and/or Abate
If the enforcement officer finds pollutants or non-storm water discharges on public or private property
which may result in an increase in pollutants entering the City’s storm water conveyance system, the
enforcement officer may issue a notice to clean, test and/or abate.
6. Suspension, Revocation, or Denial of Permits or Licenses
Violations of the City ordinance may be grounds for local permit or license (i.e., building permits,
business licenses, etc.) denial, suspension, or revocation.
7. Administrative Citation and Penalties
Because violations vary in threat to water quality, enforcement officers may consider issuing an
administrative citation as defined in CMC Section 1.10.070. A copy of the procedures manual for
issuing administrative citations is found in Appendix B to this Plan.
The CMC requires that a Notice of Violation be issued before an administrative citation. A second or
subsequent NOV does not need to be issued to the same party if a NOV for the same or similar
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 5
violation has been issued within the prior year. Failure by the alleged violating party to comply with
any portion of the NOV may result in the issuance of an administrative citation.
Administrative citations are defined as infractions by CMC Section 1.08.010(b) and subject the
violator to the following penalties:
a) Maximum of $100 for the first violation;
b) Maximum of $200 for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year;
c) Maximum of $500 for a third violation of the same ordinance within one year.
d) The fourth and each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year is a
misdemeanor punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine or imprisonment not exceeding six
months, or both fine and imprisonment.
This Plan will follow CMC Chapter 1.10 which contains the administrative citation procedures. An
administrative citation may be appealed, and if appealed the administrative hearing procedures
outlined in Appendix C to this Plan will be followed.
8. Declaration of a Public Nuisance
Whenever an existing condition or a discharge into the storm water conveyance system violates the
City ordinance, it is considered a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare and may be declared
a public nuisance. The enforcement officer may follow appropriate procedures to recommend a
declaration of a Public Nuisance by City Council in order to abate the nuisance discharge or
condition.
9. Civil and/or Criminal Court Actions
The City may file civil and/or criminal court actions under the State Porter Cologne Water Quality Act,
the Federal Clean Water Act, and other applicable laws, which may result in significant fines levied
upon the non-compliant responsible parties. The CMC allows for a maximum civil penalty of $2,500
per violation per day, plus cost recovery for the investigation. As described above, the CMC also
provides that the fourth and each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year is a
misdemeanor punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or
both fine and imprisonment.
ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE GUIDE
The Enforcement Response Guide (“Guide”) is presented as a table in Appendix A. The Guide lists
storm water noncompliance, CMC references, a description of the violation (magnitude based on
reoccurrence or harm), potential enforcement responses, and specifies the minimum level of the
personnel who typically initiate a response. The Guide is offered for guidance purposes only to
enforcement officers, and is not intended to provide the only enforcement options available in any
given situation.
Depending on the circumstances of the violation, several options for enforcement responses are
outlined. More than one response may be initiated for a violation, if appropriate, or additional
escalated responses will be initiated if compliance is not achieved. The enforcement officer and/or
the Public Works Director may decide which response is most appropriate for the violation, based
upon best professional judgment and the following six criteria:
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 6
1. Magnitude of the Violation
Generally, an isolated instance of noncompliance can be corrected with an informal response (written
or verbal warning notice) or a NOV. However, since even an isolated violation could threaten public
health and the environment or damage public or private property, escalated enforcement actions may
be taken based upon this threat or damage potential. Information for making this determination is
presented in the Guide.
2. Duration of the Violation
Violations (regardless of the severity) that continue over prolonged periods of time should result in
escalated enforcement actions.
3. Effect on the Receiving Water
One of the primary objectives of the Program is to control pollutants at the source so that they do not
enter the storm drains and discharge to receiving waters. The receiving water may be a creek,
lagoon, and/or the ocean depending on the point of discharge. Any violation that results in
environmental harm or that may degrade receiving water quality should be met with an escalated
response.
4. Effect on the City
Some violations may have a negative impact on the City itself. For example, a violation may result in
damage to public property or increased storm sewer, street maintenance, or waste disposal costs.
Escalated responses or cost recovery may be considered based on the financial impact to the City.
Potential impacts to public health, such as beach closures or the release of harmful pollutants may be
considered when selecting an enforcement response.
5. Compliance History of the Responsible Party
An individual or entity with a pattern of recurring violations may indicate an indifferent attitude toward
compliance and a potential for future violations. The enforcement officer may use compliance history
to decide which enforcement response to implement. For example, if the responsible party has a
good compliance history or no prior violations, the enforcement officer may decide to use a less
severe enforcement response.
6. Good Faith of the Responsible Party
The responsible party’s “good faith” in correcting noncompliance is a factor in determining which
enforcement response to take. “Good Faith” is the responsible party’s honest intention to remedy
noncompliance coupled with actions that support this intention. Good faith is typically demonstrated
by cooperation and completion of corrective measures in a timely manner.

(Revised) January 3, 2003 7
RESPONSE TIME FRAMES
To promote consistent application of the Guide, the following guidelines for enforcement response
time frames are set forth below:
• All violations should be identified and documented within fifteen (15) working days of
inspecting the site or receiving compliance information (lab results, reports or plans,
inspection responses, etc.).
• Initial enforcement actions should be taken within thirty (30) working days of violation
detection.
• Follow up actions (additional administrative citations, NOVs) for violations should be taken
within sixty (60) working days of the initial enforcement response. For all continuing violations
(violations not corrected within 60 days), the response should include a Compliance Schedule.
• Violations that threaten health, property or environmental quality are considered emergencies
and will receive an immediate response.

PROCEDURES MANUAL
FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.10 provides the authority to issue administrative citations
(“citation”) for minor violations of the municipal code. The municipal code provides for escalating
fines for noncompliance. The purpose of this remedy is to induce compliance by applying a monetary
penalty for noncompliance. It is not a cost recovery mechanism, but may be used in addition to cost
recovery tools.
SECTION II – VIOLATIONS APPROPRIATE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
Only minor violations should be addressed by administrative citations. For purposes of administrative
citations, this means the violation should be clean-cut and simple to remedy, generally within 20-30
days. If the compliance period needs to be more than 30 days, the case may not be a good
candidate for citation and may need supervisor approval. As with any enforcement remedy, the
decision to use administrative citations should include assessment of how effective it is likely to be in
gaining compliance and whether it is appropriate to the situation.
Specific violations appropriate for administrative citations are listed in Table 1, the Enforcement
Response Guide found in the Storm Water Program Enforcement Response Plan. The Enforcement
Response Guide and Plan will be updated as needed.
SECTION III – TO WHOM A CITATION CAN BE ISSUED
A citation may be issued to the party responsible for the violation. In general, the responsible person
as defined in the Carlsbad Municipal Code section 1.10.010(A)(6) will be one or more of the following:
1.10.010 Definitions
The following definitions shall apply in interpretation and enforcement of this Chapter
“Responsible Party” means any person or persons in charge of the premises or location, or the person or persons responsible for the event or incident, and shall include any of the following:
a. The person or persons who own the property where the violations exist.
b. The person or person in charge of the premises where the violation exists.
c. The person or persons using the premises when the violation exists.
d. If any of those persons are minors, the parent or guardians of such minor(s) shall be
the responsible party.
e. If the person or persons is a business entity, the manager or on-site supervisor where
the violations exist shall be the “responsible party.”
When a citation is justified any or all of these persons or entities may be cited for the violation.
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 17
SECTION IV – POLICIES
Issuance / Implementation
1. The maximum fine allowed by the Code is $100 for the first citation, $200 for the second
citation, $500 for the third and each subsequent citation within one year.
2. After the maximum penalty amount for a violation has been reached (i.e., after the third
citation), the case shall be reviewed by the Environmental Programs Manager and/or Director
for the purpose of considering the appropriate case plan from that point forward.
3. An administrative citation must follow a Notice of Violation (“NOV”). A citation may not be
issued until the compliance date on the NOV has past. Note: Any NOV issued for the same
or similar violation within the preceding 12-month period to the same party is considered
fulfillment of this requirement.
4. More than one party can be held responsible for a violation, but separate citations must be
issued.
5. In the case of more than one violation on a property, all violations may be included on the
same citation or separate citations may be issued for each.
6. If different officers issue citations, they should be coordinated to the greatest extent possible.
7. An officer or inspector, upon discovery of an appropriate violation, has the discretion to issue
either a warning notice or first citation if a prior NOV has been issued. However, if a warning
citation is issued, a fine may not be assessed until the expiration of the warning or compliance
period.
8. Additional administrative citations may be issued for the same violation during the appeal
period if the compliance deadline has passed. However, additional citations for the same
violation should not be issued if an appeal has been filed. (Support staff will notify officers of
appeals.)
9. An appeal of the first citation shall be considered an appeal of subsequent citations and all
citations will be addressed at one hearing, if possible.
10. In the case of repeat offenses for violations previously corrected, if such repeat offenses occur
within one year of the previous violations the next level of penalty shall apply. For example, if
a $100 penalty was assessed for the previous violation, a $200 penalty would be imposed for
a repeat offense within one year. In cases where the maximum
11. Penalty has been reached; all additional offenses within one year shall be subject to the
maximum penalty.
12. Administrative citations may be used for new or additional violations even if there is a current
case at the property.
13. Once issued, the field personnel cannot retract an administrative citation; only
the Director may approve special requests for dismissal.
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 18
SECTION V – APPEALS
1. Notices of Appeals Hearing may be served in person or by mail to the party appealing the
citation. Notices of Appeals Hearing served by mail shall be sent by first class mail to the
return address indicated in the Appeal application. Such service shall be made at least ten
days prior to the date of the hearing. Notices of Appeals Hearing are to be mailed by certified
mail, return receipt, in addition to regular first class mail.
2. Appeal hearings will be initially scheduled no sooner than 15 days and no later than 60 days
from the date that the request for hearing is filed.
3. Appeal hearings may be rescheduled once if requested by the Appellant within a reasonable
timeframe. Additional requests for rescheduling or requests for rescheduling either the day
before or the day of the hearing my be granted by the department manager if good cause
exists for rescheduling. If a rescheduling is denied, the Appellant may send a representative
to the hearing or may submit written documentation regarding an appeal. The Appellant may
also request a continuance from the hearing officer via letter that explains the reason for
requesting a continuance.
NOTE: the reason for limits on rescheduling is to avoid unnecessary delays and unnecessary
waste of hearing officer and staff time. The obligation to provide appeal rights should have
first priority and judgment is required to balance legitimate rescheduling requests with stall
tactics.
4. An appeal for a first citation shall automatically be considered an appeal of any subsequent
citations for the same violation(s) issued prior to the hearing date, whether or not the
Appellant submits additional appeals. Whenever possible, the appeals of all citations will be
heard at the same hearing.
5. An Appellant may send a representative to the hearing in his or her place, but the
representative must have written authorization from the Appellant and must be willing to testify
under oath that he or she is authorized to represent the Appellant.
6. If an Appellant requires or requests a translator and is unable to obtain one, the City will help
provide one, provided that the language requiring translation is one for which translations are
readily available. The City will, in all cases, make reasonable accommodations for persons
with disabilities, provided that adequate prior notice of needs is given.
7. Failure of the Appellant to appear results in cancellation of the hearing and a wavier of the
right to an appeal hearing, providing that prior notice has been given. It also means that the
citation is in effect as issued and that enforcement may proceed. The administrative
enforcement order should so state. The Appellant may submit written testimony or send a
representative in lieu of personal appearance.
8. Appeals that are submitted after the deadline will not be accepted; the Director must approve
any special request for acceptance after the deadline.
9. If more than one party has been cited for the same violation(s) and both parties appeal, one
appeal hearing will be scheduled. However, if either party objects to a joint appeal hearing,
separate hearings will be scheduled.

that person with the responsible party named on the citation. A copy of the administrative
citation shall then be mailed to the responsible party as indicated in #6 below.
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 20
3. If the party responsible for the violation is located, obtain the signature of that person on the
administrative citation as described in Section VI.A.11. Failure or refusal to sign does not
affect the validity of the citation and subsequent proceedings.
4. If you are unable to locate the party responsible for the violation or anyone else on the site to
accept the citation, the administrative citation shall be mailed to the responsible party as
indicated in #6 below AND shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the property, if possible.
Posting of citations shall be done in a manner that is not harmful to the property on which it is
posted.
5. The administrative citation MUST contain the signature of the issuing enforcement officer.
6. When mailing is required, send by regular first class mail and certified mail return receipt
requested. The failure of any person with an interest in the property to receive such notice
does not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this section. Notice by mail, in the
manner described above becomes effective on the date of mailing.
7. The Enforcement Officer shall complete a Declaration of Service form as appropriate for the
manner of service employed.
8. Transmit appropriate copy to the Finance Department for billing services.
C. Issuance To Corporation Or Partnership
When citing a corporation, the agent for service should be named. When citing a limited
partnership the general partner should be named. If the Enforcement Officer is unable to
determine who the agent of service or general partner is, the citation can be issued to the person
who has established him/herself as the responsible party for the business or property.
SECTION VII – APPEAL PROCEDURES
NOTE: Appeal rights are explained on the reverse side of the citation form and Carlsbad Municipal
Code Chapter 1.10.
1. Any person receiving an administrative citation may appeal it within ten calendar days from
the date the citation was issued. The appeal, which must be in writing, must be received by
the 10th calendar day from issuance, and include a payment of all penalties. If the 10th
calendar day falls on a weekend or City holiday, the next regular business day will be used.
2. Support staff (Enforcement Officer and staff from the City Attorney’s office) is responsible for
the processing of appeals. They will request the case file from the officer and prepare all
information that is needed for the hearing. If the officer has vacation or other scheduling
considerations, it must be noted on the case file. An initial hearing date will be assigned no
later than 60 days from the date of appeal.
3. Support staff will contact the hearing officer service and obtain the name of the Hearing
Officer.
4. A hearing package containing standardized information will be prepared by support staff and
mailed to the Appellant and Hearing Officer. Support staff will schedule the hearing and
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 21
inform the Enforcement Officer as to the date, time and place. Support staff is responsible for
notifying the Appellant of the date, time and place and sending the hearing package to the
Appellant and the Hearing Officer. The hearing package shall be mailed regular and certified
mail (return receipt). If the Appellant does not appear, the appeal is considered waived in
favor of the City.
5. In the event that more than one citation has been issued for the same violation, staff shall
supplement the hearing information package with documentation regarding the additional
citations (generally copies of the citation and updated photos). If the additional documentation
is available prior to mailing the hearing notice and documentation package, support staff shall
include it. If it is not available at that time, copies for the Hearing Officer and respondent must
be brought to the hearing by City staff.
6. In the event of multiple citations, the Hearing Officer should rule on each citation but may do
so in one administrative enforcement order.
SECTION VIII – HEARING PROCEDURES
1. Support staff arranges for the hearing, provides a hearing room, and ensures that a tape
recorder is in place.
2. Whenever possible, an inspection should be made and photos taken of the property/violation
the day prior to the hearing so that the current status is known.
3. There may be circumstances where it will not be necessary for City staff to be present at the
appeal hearing. These circumstances shall be discussed with a supervisor at the time the
hearing is scheduled.
4. When necessary, the supervisor will assign staff (generally this will be the issuing officer) to
present the City’s case and present relevant evidence to show that:
a. The cited violation(s) are valid and that the necessary corrections were not made

SECTION IX – HEARING OFFICER AUTHORITY
The Hearing Officer may reduce, waive, or conditionally reduce the fines stated in the citation.
Waiving or reducing the fine does not eliminate the need to correct the violations nor prevent the
City’s use of other enforcement procedures. The Hearing Officer may also impose conditions and
establish stipulations for correction of violations and payment of fines. The Hearing Officer is a
neutral third party whose authority applies to the City as well as to the Appellant. STAFF SHOULD
NOT HAVE CONTACT WITH THE HEARING OFFICER OUTSIDE THE HEARING NOR SHOULD
THEY AT ANY TIME PROJECT AN ATTITUDE OF FAMILIARITY WITH THE HEARING OFFICER.
STAFF SHALL MAINTAIN AN ATTITUTE OF NEUTRALITY AND OBJECTIVITY AT ALL TIMES.
SECTION X – INVESTIGATOR / SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR APPEAL
Assigned staff is responsible for appearing at the appeal hearing if necessary and must be prepared
to present all evidence and testimony concerning the violation. This includes the documentation
submitted; how many contacts were made, when and with whom; a clear explanation of the violation;
what actions are required to bring the property into compliance; and a copy of the administrative
citation. Photographs may be attached to the report.
SECTION XI – FOLLOW UP
The Hearing Officer’s findings and order will generally include direction to comply by a specific date, if
compliance is still an issue at the hearing. Support staff will receive this document and forward to the
Enforcement Officer who is then responsible for following up after that deadline and deciding what to
do if compliance has not been achieved. Support staff will also send a copy to the Appellant.
Support staff will follow up on payments and will take appropriate billing/collection actions, however,
the Enforcement Officer must inform support staff of status if fines are contingent on compliance
action.

A. ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.10 provides for the issuance of an administrative citation for violations of
the Code. There are four levels of citations that may be issued progressively for a violation. The fines, as
indicated on the front of the citation, are $100 for the First Citation, $250 for the Second Citation, and $500 for
the Third and subsequent Citations. These fines are cumulative. A warning, if issued, does not incur a fine and,
therefore, is not appealable.
RIGHTS OF APPEAL
You have the right to appeal this citation within 10 business days from the date the citation was issued. If the
citation was mailed, the appeal must be made within 10 business days from the date of mailing. An appeal must
be made in writing, including a return address, a basis for the appeal in detail must be included, and be
accompanied by the fine amount. Appeal forms may be obtained from the Finance Department at the address
noted below. An appeal will result in an administrative hearing.
Failure of any person to properly file a written appeal within 10 business days shall constitute a waiver of his or
her right to an administrative hearing and adjudication of the citation or any portion thereof and the total amount
of the fine.
B. HOW TO PAY FINE
The amount of the fine is indicated on the front of the administrative citation and is due within 30 days of the
issue date of the citation. You may pay by mail or in person. Payment should be made by credit card, personal
check, cashier’s check, or money order payable to the City of Carlsbad. Payment should be made at the
address below. Please write the citation number on your check or money order.
City of Carlsbad
1635 Faraday Drive
Carlsbad CA 92008
Attention: Finance Department / Administrative Citations
If the fine is not paid within 30 calendar days of the issue date of the citation, you will receive a Delinquent
Notice from the Finance Department and there will be a 100% penalty fee assessed in addition to the original
fine.
Payment of any fine shall not excuse the failure to correct the violation nor shall it bar further enforcement by
the City.
CONSEQUENCES FOR FAILURE TO PAY THE FINE
The failure of any person to pay the fine assessed by a citation within 30 days of the issuing date of the citation
or the due date on a Delinquent Notice may result in turning the account over to a collection agency, filing a
claim with the Small Claims Court, a lien against your property, or any other available legal remedy to collect
such money. The City has the authority to collect all costs associated with the filing of such actions.
C. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO CORRECT VIOLATIONS
There are numerous other enforcement options that may be used to encourage correction of violations. These
options include, but are not limited to: criminal prosecution, civil litigation abatement, recording the violation with
the County Recorder and forfeiture of certain benefits for substandard residential rental property.
If you need further information about the violation and/or how to comply, please call the officer designated on
the citation front.

APPENDIX C
Administrative Citation Procedures Manual
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 27
PROCEDURES FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT HEARINGS
1. PURPOSE
To establish policies and procedures relevant to the holding of hearings related to
administrative enforcement actions as allowed for, or required by, the Carlsbad Municipal
Code.
2. SCOPE AND GOVERNING AUTHORITY
This document applies only to those Administrative Hearings which are related to the
enforcement of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This manual is intended to provide general
information about administrative code enforcement appeals. The information provided is
procedural only. This manual is not intended to contain every detail or present every issue
which may arise during an appeal, but will generally explain how an appeal hearing will be
conducted.
3. POLICIES
1. Administrative Hearings shall be conducted in a manner that ensures the protection of
due process rights of the Appellant including adequate notice, an opportunity to
participate in the hearing process, an adequate explanation of the reasons justifying
the administrative action, and a fair and orderly hearing.
2. It is the City Manager’s intent to guarantee the neutrality of Hearing Officers by
restricting contact between the Hearing Officers and the City staff who appear at
hearings and to clearly establish the Hearing Officer’s authority.
3. Appointment of Hearing Officers. The City Manager, or his designee, will appoint
Hearing Officers who are qualified to conduct Administrative Hearings, by virtue of
their education and experience with Administrative Hearings and arbitrations. The City
Manager may specify that the members of the California State Bar or those with
particular expertise, as necessary, hear certain cases. Hearings may be rotated
among one or more panels of qualified persons.
4. Disqualification of Hearing Officers. Hearing Officers are expected to be able to
conduct fair and orderly hearings and to issue findings and orders in a timely manner.
Failure of the Hearing Officer to function in the above manner may result in the City
Manager or designee removing that person’s name from the pool of qualified Hearing
Officers. The City Manager’s option to remove Hearing Officers from the pool shall not
be construed to mean that those Hearing Officers who make findings against the City’s
recommendations or position will be subject to removal. In addition, any person
serving as a Hearing Officer is subject to disqualification for bias, prejudice, interest or
for any other reason for which a judge may be disqualified in a court of law.
5. Legal Representation. The Appellant and City are entitled to legal representation at the
hearings.
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 28
6. Failure to Appear at Hearing. If the City has provided proper notice, the failure of the
Appellant to appear or send a representative to the hearing shall be deemed a waiver
of the right to a hearing. In this event, the Hearing Officer shall issue an order to the
effect that the hearing is waived and decided in the City’s favor. The Hearing Officer,
in lieu of personal appearance and testimony, may accept written declarations, signed
under penalty of perjury.
7. Requests for Rescheduling of Hearings. Requests made by Appellants for
rescheduling of a hearing will be accommodated by the City provided that they are
made at least five days before the scheduled hearing. Requests for rescheduling
within five days of the hearing must be considered if for good cause and substantiated
(illness, death, emergency situations, etc.). Requests for rescheduling, which occur
within 24-hours of the scheduled hearing, will be denied by staff and referred to the
Hearing Officer at the scheduled hearing. The intent of this policy is to ensure that the
City Manager provides fair and reasonable accommodation of the respondent’s needs
but does not allow unwarranted and expensive delays. It also respects the Hearing
Officer’s time and schedule.
8. Powers of Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer has the authority to conduct and direct
administrative hearing; to make findings; issue orders on both the City and the
Appellant which are final, conclusive, and subject to review by the municipal court.
The Hearing Officer has specific authority to make findings and to structure orders as
necessary to ensure compliance and fairness within the context of the ordinance(s) at
issue. The Hearing Officer may reduce, waive or conditionally reduce the penalties
stated in a citation if mitigating circumstances are shown and the specific grounds are
written in the decision. The Hearing Officer may impose conditions and deadlines for
correction of violations. The Hearing Officer is also authorized to grant continuances
as necessary for good cause and to maintain authority over the case as necessary to
ensure resolution and due process. The Hearing Officer is authorized to grant new
hearings where warranted by extraordinary circumstances. For example, if a party for
good cause is unable to attend the original hearing, or the discovery of material
evidence which a party could not, even with reasonable diligence, have discovered
and produced at the time of the original hearing.
9. Administrative Enforcement Order by Stipulation. Occasionally, the City and the
Appellant will reach agreement prior to a scheduled hearing. When such an
agreement is presented at the hearing, the Hearing Officer may issue a finding which
incorporates the agreement; such a finding shall authorize or approve the terms of the
agreement to ensure its validity and shall be entitled to an Administrative Enforcement
Order by Stipulation.
10. Conflict of Interest. Hearing Officers are required to disqualify themselves from
serving as the Hearing Officer for a particular case if they have a personal or business
relationship or any other type of relations, with any of the involved parties which might
cause them to have a conflict of interest, bias or prejudice in regard to the case to be
heard.
City of Carlsbad
Storm Water Program
Enforcement Response Plan
(Revised) January 3, 2003 29
In the event that the Hearing Officer believes that a conflict of interest does not exist
but might be perceived, he or she is required to disclose to both the City and the
Appellant the nature of any relationship that might cause such a perception. Either of
the parties may then request that a new hearing officer be selected, provided that such
request be made known to the Hearing Officer within three (3) business days of such
notification.
11. In the event that the Hearing Officer does not disqualify himself or does not announce
a relationship that might be perceived as a potential conflict of interest and either party
believes that a conflict of interest may exist, that party may request of the City
Manager that a different Hearing Officer be selected. The City Manager shall
determine whether or not to take such action based on the evidence presented of a
relationship, prejudice or bias that might impede the Hearing Officer's ability to provide
a fair hearing.
12. Public Nature of Hearings. It is the City Manager’s policy that Administrative Hearings
be considered open to the public. Therefore, it is the policy that hearings be conducted
in a public space and that tapes of the proceedings, as well as the Enforcement
Hearing Order, be made available upon request.
The City Manager's staff is required to tape the entire hearing for the use of the
Hearing Officer and as public record. A copy of the tape shall be made for the other
party, if so requested for a reasonable fee.
13. Provision of Case Documentation. It is the City Manager’s policy that both the Hearing
Officer and the Appellant be provided a package of information that substantiates the
City's case. This information is provided to facilitate the hearing process and to ensure
that the Appellant has advance notice of the City's positions.
A hearing package will be mailed to the Appellant and Hearing Officer prior to the day
of the hearing. The Appellant will be advised that the original case file will be available
for review at the City prior to the day of the hearing.
14. Pre-Hearing Procedures. The Appellant must first go to the ___(TBD)_______, and
check in with the hearing clerk. The hearing clerk will deliver the names of the
Appellants to the Administrative Hearing Officer in the order received. The hearing
clerk will direct the Appellants to a waiting area until called into the hearing room.
A copy of the Carlsbad Municipal Code will be available in the hearing conference room.
Prior to the hearing, the Administrative Hearing Officer will review a case file for each appeal.
Each file will have a copy of the administrative code enforcement action (including all citations
and other notices), the Administrative Citation Hearing Request form, and a hearing
disposition form to record the Administrative Hearing Officer’s decision. The Appellant and
the City may submit any additional information including photographic evidence, prior to
hearing for the Administrative Hearing Officer’s review. Any such information should be sent
to the ___(TBD)____, at least 24 hours prior to the hearing.

4. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ADMINISRATIVE HEARINGS
1. The Hearing Officer is in charge of the hearing and is responsible for ensuring that
order is maintained and that due process is provided.

official notice of facts that are of such common knowledge that they cannot reasonably
be the subject of dispute, such as the time the sun rises or sets, the date on which a
holiday is observed, etc.
7. Hearsay evidence may be allowed by the Hearing Officer and used in the officer's
considerations but no findings may be based solely on hearsay; other relevant and
legally admissible evidence must support it.
8. The rules of privilege shall be effective to the same extent that they are recognized in
civil actions. The Hearing Officer may exclude irrelevant and unduly repetitious
evidence.
9. All information to be considered by the Hearing Officer must be presented and entered
into the record at the hearing. There shall be no ex-parte communication regarding the
case by the Hearing Officer with either party.
If the Hearing Officer determines that further documentary evidence is needed, such etermination
shall be entered into the record and a deadline established for its submittal to the Hearing Officer and
the other party. If the other party does not object to such evidence within five (5) business days of its
submission, the Hearing Officer in making his or her findings and decisions may consider it.

4. The hearing officer shall render a written decision within ten days of the close of
the hearing, including findings of fact and conclusions of law, identifying the time
frame involved and the factors considered in assessing civil penalties, if any. The
decision shall be effective immediately unless otherwise stated in the decision.
The hearing officer shall cause the decision to be served on the enforcement
official and all participating violators or owners of record.
5. If the persons assessed civil penalties fail to pay them within the time specified in
the hearing officer’s decision, the unpaid amount constitutes either a personal
obligation of the person assessed or a lien upon the real property on which the
violation occurred, in the discretion of the enforcement official. If the violation(s)
is not corrected as directed the civil penalty continues to accrue on a daily basis.
Civil penalties may not exceed one hundred thousand dollars in the aggregate.
When the violation is subsequently corrected, the enforcement official shall notify
the violator(s) and/or owner(s) of record of the outstanding civil penalties and
provide an opportunity for hearing if the amount(s) is disputed within ten days
from such notice.
6. The enforcement official shall take all appropriate legal steps to collect these
obligations, including referral to the city attorney for commencement of a civil
action to recover said funds. If collected as a lien, the enforcement official shall
cause a notice of lien to be filed with the county recorder, inform the county
auditor and county recorder of the amount of the obligation, a description of the
real property upon which the lien is to be recovered, and the name of the agency
to which the obligation is to be paid. Upon payment in full, the enforcement
official shall file a release of lien with the county recorder. (Ord. NS-394 § 2
(part), 1997)

implement a storm water monitoring plan, violates any cease and desist order or notice to
clean and abate, or fails to adopt or implement storm water pollution prevention plans or
employee training programs as directed by the enforcement official shall be punished, upon
conviction, by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars for each day in which such violation
occurs, or imprisonment in the San Diego County jail for a period not to exceed six months,
or both.
B. Injunction/Abatement of Public Nuisance. Whenever a discharge into the storm water
conveyance system is in violation of the provisions of this chapter or otherwise threatens to
cause a condition of contamination, pollution, or nuisance, the enforcement official may also
cause the city to seek a petition to the Superior Court for the issuance of a preliminary or
permanent injunction, or both, or an action to abate a public nuisance, as may be
appropriate in restraining the continuance of such discharge.
C. Other Civil Action. Whenever a notice and order or hearing officer’s decision is not complied
with, the city attorney may, at the request of the enforcement official, initiate any appropriate
civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce such notice and order and decision,
including the recovery of any unpaid storm drain fees and/or civil penalties provided herein.
(Ord. NS-624 § 13, 2002: Ord. NS-394 § 2 (part), 1997)

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Program Overview
To comply with the San Diego municipal storm water permit (Order 2001-01) adopted by
the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), the City of Carlsbad is
required to conduct field screening and analytical monitoring at different sampling locations
throughout the City during the dry weather season (May 1st through September 30th). The
purpose of the Dry Weather Field Screening and Analytical Monitoring Program is to detect
and eliminate illicit connections and illegal discharges (IC/IDs) to the storm drain system,
minimizing the negative impacts of human activities on receiving water bodies. The dry
weather monitoring program consists of the following three components:
• Field screening observations
• Field sampling for analytical testing
• Laboratory analytical testing
Information collected from the dry weather monitoring is also used to characterize dry
weather discharges in the storm drain system and identify conveyances that are
discharging elevated levels of pollutants. Follow-up studies and source investigations are
conducted as necessary, to detect and eliminate the sources of these pollutants. This
report presents the results of the City of Carlsbad 2002 Dry Weather Field Screening and
Analytical Monitoring Program conducted by D-MAX Engineering, Inc.
1.2 Regulatory Requirements
In 1990, the San Diego RWQCB issued Order No. 90-42, a county-wide National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to control urban runoff discharges to
municipal storm drain systems within San Diego County. The permit was issued to the City
of San Diego as the Principal Permittee and to the County of San Diego, San Diego Unified
Port District and 17 local municipalities (including the City of Carlsbad) as Copermittees.
Under this order, each copermittee was required to conduct dry weather field screening of
discharges in the storm drain system within its jurisdiction. This procedure consists of field
observations, flow estimation and field analysis at selected locations along the storm drain
conveyance system during the dry weather season. Although the permit only had an
effective term of five years, the expiration date was extended, pending the issuance of a
new permit by the RWQCB.
On February 21, 2001, the San Diego RWQCB issued Order No. 2001-01 (NPDES No.
CAS0108758), a more comprehensive revised county-wide NPDES permit for municipal
urban runoff discharges within San Diego County using a watershed-based approach. In
this permit, the County of San Diego is the designated Principal Permittee, with the City of
San Diego, San Diego Unified Port District and the same 17 local municipalities (including
the City of Carlsbad) as Copermittees. This permit required each copermittee to develop a
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) by February 21, 2002 aimed
at reducing pollutant discharges from existing developments, future developments and
construction projects within its jurisdiction. Under the new permit, copermittees are also
required to conduct more extensive dry weather monitoring of the storm drain system,
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 2
which includes field observations and field analysis, and laboratory analysis at 25% of the
sites with flowing or ponded water. At each sampling location that exhibits no flow,
alternate sampling stations must be selected and sampled. If the results of the field or
laboratory analysis exceed specific action levels, follow-up investigations are required. The
results from the first year of this expanded monitoring program are presented herein. The
2002 Dry Weather Field Screening and Analytical Monitoring Program is described in the
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination component, Section 8, of the City’s Jurisdictional
Urban Runoff Management Plan.
1.3 City Setting
The City of Carlsbad, located in northern San Diego, has an approximated drainage area of
21,592 acres. The City’s land is used for residential housing, commercial and industrial
business, public facilities and also for streets and highways. In the City of Carlsbad, open
space currently occupies a large percentage of the total drainage area, and residential
lands occupy more than one third of the City.
The City topography is naturally divided into four separate watersheds. Land use within
each watershed determines the potential for generating both runoff and pollutants into
receiving water bodies. The four major receiving water bodies or drainage basins that
collect the City’s storm water are:
o Buena Vista Creek
o Encinas Creek
o Agua Hedionda Creek
o San Marcos Creek
Much of the runoff within the City discharges into three coastal lagoons and eventually into
the Pacific Ocean. Aqua Hedionda Creek discharges into Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Buena
Vista Creek discharges into Buena Vista Lagoon. San Marcos Creek discharges into
Batiquitos Lagoon. Encinas Creek discharges directly into the Pacific Ocean.
1.4 Previous Work
The City of Carlsbad has conducted dry weather field screening programs for the past
seven years. A summary of the screening results obtained for each year is discussed
below and presented in Table 1-1. The results from 2002 are presented in this report.
• In 1995, the City conducted one round of field screening at seventy-one sites within
the City’s storm drain system. Flowing water was observed at thirty-three of the
sites, sixteen sites had ponded water, fourteen sites were dry, six sites had trickle
flow and two sites were submerged. Chemical testing revealed chlorine levels
ranging from less than 0.1 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L. Chlorine was detected at all sites
tested with flowing or ponded water. Detergents ranged from less than 0.25 mg/L to
15.0 mg/L. Site AH12 had the highest level of detergents (15.0 mg/L). Phenols,
ammonia and copper were below detection limits. The pH levels ranged from 4.7 to
9.5. Site EN14A had the lowest pH reading of 4.7 during initial and follow-up visits.
Foam was observed at six sites. White and light brown dry foam was observed at
Sites EN14A and EN23 while the other four sites had soapy, bubbly foam.

• In 1996, the City conducted one round of field screening at seventy-four locations
within the City’s storm drain system. The results of the field screening for 1996
indicated that thirty-six sites had flowing water, sixteen sites had ponded water, nine
sites were dry, eleven had trickle flows and two sites were submerged. Chemical
testing revealed chlorine levels ranging from less than 0.1 mg/L to 1.5 mg/L.
Detergents ranged from less than 0.25 mg/L to 2.0 mg/L. Sites AH11 and AH12
had the highest detergent readings of 2.0 mg/L during initial site visits. Phenols,
ammonia and copper were not detected during the field screening program. The pH
readings ranged from 4.3 to 9.3. Site EN-14A had the lowest pH readings of 4.5
upon the first visit and 4.3 during the second visit. Foam was observed at several
sites. Sites BA47, EN14A, EN17, EN20 and EN23 had white or light brown dry
foam while Sites AH03, AH13, and BA27 had soapy, bubbly foam.
• In 1997, the City conducted one round of field screening at seventy-five locations
within the City’s storm drain system. The results of the field screening indicated
flowing water at thirty-four of the sites, ponded water at eighteen sites, eight sites
had trickle flow, thirteen were dry, and two sites were submerged by lagoon water.
Chemical testing revealed chlorine levels ranging from 0.1mg/L to 0.6 mg/L.
Detergents ranged from 0.25 mg/L to 6.0 mg/L with highest detergent readings at
Sites AH11 and AH12. Phenols were detected at low levels (0.1 mg/L) at Sites
BV14 and AH31. Copper was detected at three sites and ranged from 0.1 mg/L to
0.3 mg/L. Ammonia concentrations ranged from below the field test kit detection
limit (non-detect) to 10.7 mg/L. The pH readings ranged from 4.2 to 9.9, with Site
EN14A having the lowest readings of 4.2 upon the first visit and 4.6 during the
second visit. Foam and soap bubbles were observed at Sites BV02, EN14A, EN23,
BA27, BA36, BA47 and BA48.
• In 1998, the City conducted one round of field screening tests at fifty-four locations.
Twenty-one sites that had been dry or did not show noticeable pollutant
concentrations during the past screening programs were eliminated from the
program. The results of the field screening indicated flowing water at thirty-six of
the sites, ponded water at sixteen sites, and two sites were dry. Chemical testing
revealed chlorine levels ranging from non-detect to 0.4 mg/L. Detergents ranged
from less than 0.25 mg/L to greater than 3.0 mg/L. The highest detergent readings
occurred at Sites AH11 and AH12. Phenols were detected at twenty-seven sites,
and the highest reading of 1.0 mg/L was observed at Site EN23. Copper was
detected only at Site EN23, where it measured 0.2 mg/L. Ammonia concentrations
ranged from non-detect to 10.0 mg/L. The highest ammonia concentration of 10.0
mg/L was detected at Site AH12, while the ammonia concentration at Site BA41
was below the detection limit. The pH values ranged from 4.1 to 10.7. Site EN02B
had the highest pH reading of 10.7, and Site EN23 had the lowest pH measurement
of 4.1. Dry brown/white foam was observed at Sites EN14A and EN23, while Sites
BA36 and BA41 had traces of soapy, bubbly suds.
• In 1999, the City field screened a total of 79 sites. The sites that had been omitted
from the program in 1998 were re-added to the program in 1999. Among the sites
visited, thirty-two sites had measurable flowing water, twenty-three sites had
ponded water, eight sites had trickle flow, fourteen sites were dry and two sites
were submerged. Ammonia concentrations varied from non-detect to 10 mg/L.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 4
Detergent concentrations in excess of 1.0 mg/L were detected at ten sites. Lower
concentration levels of detergents were detected at all of the sites tested with
ponded or flowing water. Chlorine levels at the tested sites were generally low
throughout the City. The concentration of chlorine reached 1.0 mg/L only during the
first visit to Site BV08. Several sites had low concentrations of phenols. The
maximum phenol concentration of 0.4 mg/L was detected at Sites AH46, AH59,
EN14, EN14A, EN20 and EN24. A copper concentration of 0.5 mg/L was the
highest detected level and was found at Site AH12. Site BA47 had a copper
concentration of 0.3 mg/L.
• In 2000, the City performed field screening at a total of 65 sites. Fourteen sites
tested in the previous year were eliminated because they were found to be
consistently dry or did not have significant problems. This allowed more detailed
investigations to be conducted at sites with chronic problems. Among the visited
sites, forty-two had measurable flowing water, nine sites had ponded water, one site
had trickle flow and nine sites were dry. Four of the sites were observed to have
flowing water during one visit but were ponded, dry, or had only trickling water upon
follow-up visits. Ammonia concentrations varied from non-detect at a few of the
sites to approximately 10 mg/L at Site EN02A-1. Detergents concentrations ranged
from non-detect to greater than 3.0 mg/L, the highest of which was measured at
Site AH12. Chlorine levels at the tested sites were found to vary from non-detect to
2.5 mg/L. The highest chlorine level detected was at Site BV09. Both phenol and
copper levels ranged from non-detect to 0.2 mg/L. The pH levels varied from 4.3 to
10.0. Low pH levels were recorded at Sites BA47, EN14A, EN21 and EN23.
• In 2001, the City performed field screening at a total of 67 sites. Among the sites
visited, fifty-two sites had measurable flowing water, six sites had ponded water,
and six sites were dry. Three of the sites were observed to have flowing water
during one visit but were either ponded or dry upon follow-up visits. Ammonia
concentrations of 1 mg/L or higher were detected at seven sites, with all of the sites
containing ponded water or measurable flow indicating the presence of ammonia.
Six of the sites had detergent concentrations in excess of 1 mg/L. Both phenol and
chlorine concentrations were generally low, and were only detected at fifteen of the
sites. The highest chlorine concentration of 0.8 mg/L was found at Site AH03, while
the highest phenol concentration of 0.2 mg/L was measured at Site BA04. Copper
was not detected at any of the selected sites during the 2001 dry weather program.
Floatable materials such as scum, foam, suds, oily sheens, wood debris, plastic,
paper and aluminum cans were found at several of the sites. Scum was observed at
six sites, foam covered the water surface at five sites, ten sites had significant suds
present, an oily sheen was noted at three sites, and floatable materials such as
paper, plastics, and other trash were found at three sites. Site EN09 had excessive
sediment, which reduced the flow capacity in two of the four corrugated metal pipes
(CMPs).

2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS
In February of 2002, the City of Carlsbad completed Section 8 of the JURMP document
that identified 60 primary monitoring stations where data would be collected during the
2002 dry weather monitoring program. Additionally, 14 alternate stations were identified
that would be monitored if any of the primary stations did not have ponded or flowing water.
These sampling locations were selected by considering the following criteria:
• Drainage areas
• Land use
• Critical locations / areas (Environmentally Sensitive Areas)
• Previous or suspected problem areas
• Accessibility
• Safety
• Historical flow
Of these 74 stations, 62 have been monitored during previous dry weather monitoring
programs, and 12 have been recently added for monitoring in 2002.
During the 2002 monitoring program, all 60 primary sampling locations were visited and
samples were collected when flowing or ponded water was observed. Only one of the pre-
selected sampling locations, Site BV15, was dry and thus an alternate sampling location
(Site BV08) was selected for monitoring. Table 2-1 on the following page provides the site
number, location, description and land-use of the sampling areas that were visited.
Photographs of sampling locations are included in Appendix A. Sites are categorized
according to the respective watershed using the following abbreviations: AH = Aqua
Hedionda Lagoon, BA = Batiquitos Lagoon (San Marcos Creek), BV = Buena Vista Lagoon,
and EN = Encinas Creek. A complete map of the MS4 system, including sampling locations
and drainage basins is included as Figure 2-1 at the end of this section.

3 FIELD AND LABORATORY ANALYTICAL METHODS
3.1 Field Screening Procedures and Methods
Field screening techniques consisted of qualitative field observations, flow measurement
and field analyses of selected water quality parameters. Information relating to weather
conditions, the amount of time since last rainfall, and the type of storm water conveyance
was recorded. Specific observations and results of the field water quality analyses were
recorded on field data sheets, which are included in Appendix B. The data sheets also
serve as a record of the field visit and were completed for every site visit regardless of
whether or not samples were collected.
Field screening and analyses were conducted according to the following procedures and
methods.
Qualitative Observations
Qualitative field observations were made during each site visit whether or not ponded or
flowing water was observed. These observations were intended to provide a general
assessment of the site and include variables like odor, water clarity, the presence of
floatables, visible deposits, stains and biological status. Evidence of present or past illicit
connections and illegal discharges to the storm drain system may be ascertained by careful
field observations. Each field screening location was photographed to provide additional
information and documentation of site conditions (Appendix A).
Flow Measurement
Flow measurements can be used to estimate pollutant mass loading, prioritize storm drains
for future investigation, and identify significant changes in discharge that may be indicative
of an illegal release upstream. Various field methods were used to estimate the discharge
rate. These included measuring the velocity, depth and width of the flowing water, or
recording the amount of time required to fill a bottle of known volume with sample water.
Field Water Quality Analyses
At each site with ponded or flowing water, water samples were collected and analyzed in
the field for the following constituents:
• Specific conductance
• Temperature
• pH
• Turbidity
• Surfactants (MBAS)*
• Nitrate-N
• Ammonia-N
• Reactive Phosphorus (orthophosphate-P)
* Surfactants are also referred to as detergents, specifically with respect to
discussion of field test kit results. Based on several years of experience and the
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 12
success of using the results of field-tests for surfactants, the City conducted
analysis for this parameter in both the field and laboratory.
The methods that were used to perform the above field analyses along with the detection
limit, range and accuracy, are listed in Table 3-1 at the end of this section.
3.2 Laboratory Analytical Methods
In accordance with Order 2001-01 requirements, water samples were collected at 15
(representing 25% of all sampling locations) sites where ponded or flowing water was
observed. Samples were submitted to EnviroMatrix Analytical, Inc. and MEC Analytical
Systems, Inc. for analysis of the following constituents. Both laboratories are certified by
the California Department of Health Services.
• Total hardness
• Surfactants (MBAS)
• Oil and grease
• Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos
• Cadmium (Dissolved)
• Copper (Dissolved)
• Lead (Dissolved)
• Zinc (Dissolved)
• Enterococcus bacteria
• Total Coliform bacteria
• Fecal Coliform bacteria
• Ammonia (ADDITIONAL)
• Nitrate (ADDITIONAL)
• Turbidity (ADDITIONAL)
Additional analyses for ammonia, nitrate and turbidity were performed on all laboratory
samples as a mechanism to assess the accuracy of field analytical techniques. The
methods used to perform each of the above analyses along with method detection limits
and holding times are listed in Table 3-2 at the end of this section.
3.3 Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)
The Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan utilized for this project included the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved test methods for the field and laboratory
analysis of water samples, calibration of test equipment, pre- and post-rinsing of sample
collection containers and test vials. Key components of the QA/QC Plan are described
below.
3.3.1 Field Sampling and Analysis QA/QC
The pH meters were calibrated daily with a sodium/potassium phosphate, monobasic buffer
solution with a pH = 7.00 ± 0.01 and pH = 10.00 ± 0.01 unit and also pH = 4:00 ± 0.01
whenever necessary. The glass electrode tube was kept moist to preserve the meter’s
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 13
accuracy during field work. Conductivity and turbidity meters were calibrated weekly and
were periodically checked for accuracy using standard solutions.
Field sample collection containers were first rinsed with distilled water and then with the
sample water before sample collection. Upon completion of sampling at each site, sample
collection containers, test vials, and pipettes were rinsed with distilled water.
The accuracy of field analytical techniques was assessed at the beginning and end of the
sampling program by analyzing solutions of known concentrations and field blank samples.
Standards with known concentrations of ammonia, detergents, nitrate and reactive
phosphorus were prepared by EnviroMatrix Analytical, Inc. The results of the assessment
are tabulated in the table below.

* Although not required by the RWQCB, detergents were analyzed in the field to identify
significant detergent pollution immediately, rather than waiting for laboratory results. During
previous monitoring programs, it has been observed that Chemetrics detergents field test
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 14
kits are useful in detecting significant detergent pollution, but are often less accurate in low
ranges of 0 – 0.5 mg/L.
Additional laboratory analyses were performed for ammonia, nitrate and turbidity to assess
the accuracy of field analytical techniques. Detergents were also analyzed in both the field
and laboratory. The results of the field and laboratory analyses from each site are
presented in the table below.

The results shown above indicate that field analytical techniques produce results with
similar accuracy to laboratory techniques. Although field and laboratory results may differ,
the variance is often within the range of accuracy of the method, as shown later in Table 3-
1.
3.3.2 Laboratory Sampling and Analysis QA/QC
Samples for laboratory analysis were collected concurrently with field samples and utilized
the same sampling procedures. Pre-sterilized sample bottles were obtained from the
laboratory and thus did not require rinsing with sample water prior to sample collection.
After sample collection, all laboratory samples were kept in a cooler on ice until delivered to
the lab. Strict chain of custody procedures were followed, and samples were delivered and
analyzed within the appropriate holding times, as listed in Table 3-2.
3.4 Follow-up Action Levels
Based on dry weather field screening results, immediate follow-up investigations are
sometimes necessary to identify and eliminate pollutant sources. In order to determine
whether an immediate source investigation was necessary, numeric action levels and best
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 15
professional judgment (described below) were used to interpret the field screening results.
If visual and/or analytical evidence of gross contamination was present at a site (e.g.,
substantial petroleum sheen, extremely high ammonia concentration, evidence of a sewage
release, etc.), then an immediate source identification investigation was initiated. Sites that
exceeded numeric action levels but were not perceived as an immediate threat to water
quality were re-sampled within 24 hours. A source investigation was conducted thereafter
if elevated concentrations persisted. If a source could not be identified during the
investigation, it was determined that a more comprehensive upstream investigation is
required, for which recommendations are made at the conclusion of this report (Section 7).
If elevated levels of pollutants were detected after laboratory analyses, a comprehensive
follow-up investigation including re-sampling was recommended immediately after
detection or at the conclusion of the monitoring program, depending on the perceived threat
to water quality. The following three methods were employed to determine whether
immediate or comprehensive follow-up investigations were necessary: (1) Numeric action
levels; (2) statistical confidence intervals; and (3) best professional judgment. All three
approaches are described in detail below and presented in Table 3-3.
Numeric Action Levels
Numeric action levels were used as the primary approach for interpreting pH, reactive
phosphorus, nitrate, ammonia, conductivity, MBAS, and oil and grease analytical results
(Table 3-3). If these action levels were exceeded in the field, then an immediate source
investigation was initiated unless best professional judgment indicated otherwise.
The action levels were applied to initial dry weather field testing results, which lead to
the collection of eighteen additional follow-up samples to confirm results that exceeded
action levels. In addition, two second follow-up samples were collected, as noted in
Table 4-3.
Statistical Confidence Interval
Confidence intervals were initially planned to be the primary approach for interpreting
diazinon, chlorpyrifos, dissolved trace metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn), total and fecal
coliform bacteria, and enterococcus data. However, none of the laboratory samples
showed detectable amounts of dissolved trace metals, diazinon, or chlorpyrifos; thus a
confidence interval was not necessary. A ninety percent (90%) running confidence
interval was used to interpret bacteria analyses. If a reading exceeded the sum of the
average and the confidence interval, then the result was considered a statistical outlier
and further action was recommended. Confidence intervals for bacterial analyses are
listed in Section 5
Best Professional Judgment
Best professional judgment was utilized as the primary approach for interpreting
turbidity, water temperature, and bacteria analysis data, and as the secondary
approach for interpreting the results of all other field and laboratory analyses. Best
professional judgment may indicate that results, which either exceed certain action
levels or are statistical outliers, may be the result of natural or background factors.

1The referenced action levels should not be the sole criteria for initiating a source identification investigation. Dry weather monitoring data should be
interpreted using a variety of available information. Factors that should be considered include within-site and between-site sample variability.
2Turbidity data will be re-evaluated after the 2002 dry weather season to determine whether action levels can be established for 2003. 3 The statistical outlier test uses the mean and standard deviation of a dry weather data set to determine whether a sample concentration exceeds a given
confidence interval (usually 90 or 95%). Those readings that are above the confidence interval and exceed the referenced guidelines are identified as
outliers and are appropriate for source identification.

4 FIELD SCREENING RESULTS
The dry weather monitoring program commenced on June 3, 2002 and was completed
on June 14, 2002. Field screening was conducted at sixty sites where ponded or
flowing water was observed. One of the selected primary sampling stations was found
to be dry (Site BV15), thus an alternate site with ponded or flowing water was visited
(Site BV08).
4.1 Qualitative Observations
Qualitative observations are a routine and important part of the field screening program.
Weather conditions were recorded at each site and any evidence of dry weather flows
was documented. Field screening also involved the documentation of the odor, color,
clarity, floatable materials, vegetation and biological organisms present in the sample
water and in the vicinity of the sampling location. Observations are summarized below
and presented in Table 4-1.
Light Conditions
Approximately one-half of the samples were collected during sunny conditions. The
remaining samples were collected equally between partly cloudy and overcast
conditions.
Odor
The majority of visited sites had no observable odors during the field screening
program. However, eight sites had an odor of rotten eggs, including AH13, AH27,
AH30, AH31, BA06, BA27, EN18, and EN23. This scent is commonly a result of
hydrogen sulfide gas created through anaerobic respiration occurring in sediment.
Sites EN02C, EN20, and the main channel behind 1979 Palomar Oaks Way (adjacent
to Site EN18) smelled of sewage. Site EN19 had a slight chemical odor, and Site BA07
had a musty smell.
Color
Water samples collected from many of the sites were colorless, however, water from
over one-third of the sites had a yellowish hue. Other colors observed in water samples
during field screening included a brownish tint at Sites AH11 and AH12, and orange
coloration at Sites BA48, EN02A-1, and EN18.
Clarity
Water samples collected from the majority of the sites were clear in clarity with
negligible suspended particles observed. A cloudy quality was observed in water
samples from fifteen sites, including AH03, AH11, AH12, AH27, AH31, AH46, BA27,
BA47, BV16, EN09, EN18, EN19, EN20, EN21, and EN23.
Floatable Materials
Floatable materials in the form of trash, foam, bubbles, scum, oily or rainbow sheens,
and organic films were observed at many of the sites that had flowing or ponded water .
Trash was observed at thirty-three sites throughout the City and was problematic at
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 20
sites AH11, AH12, AH13, AH31, BA04, BA13, BA41, BA48, BV02, BV06, EN02A-1,
EN09, EN14A, and EN24. Sites AH24, AH27, AH59, BA36, BA47, BA48, BV06,
EN02A, EN14A, EN19, and EN21 were observed to have foam, bubbles, or scum near
the sampling area. An oily or rainbow sheen was found at sites AH09, AH11, AH12,
BA13, BA48, EN20, EN21, and EN24. An organic film was observed at sites AH46,
AH59, and EN02A-1.
Vegetation
Vegetative growth ranged from no growth (usually in manholes and outfalls) to naturally
vegetated riparian areas in some of the concrete and earthen channels. Approximately
one-half of the sites were free of vegetation, while the other half exhibited natural
growth. Sites EN02A-1 had limited vegetation, whereas above average growth was
found at Site AH31.
Biology
Biological observations varied between sampling locations. Many of sites exposed to
sunlight had algal growth, which indicates that water flow is persistent at the site. A few
of the sampling locations were also observed with more extensive biological organisms
such as tadpoles, fish, crawdads, snails, ducks, and duckweed. These sites included
AH10, AH24, AH31, BA03, BA13, BA27, EN02A-1 and EN09.
Other
Sediment deposition in the sampling location was observed at Sites AH13, AH27,
AH61, AH63, BA26, BA27, BA40, BA41, EN02B, and EN21. Organic matter in the form
of decomposing leaves was found at Sites AH61, AH63, and BA36. Fecal material from
a non-domesticated animal was observed adjacent to the flow at Site BA32.

4.2 Field Analytical Results
Field analyses were conducted at all sites with ponded or flowing water. Chemical
analyses were conducted using Chemetrics field test kits, pH was measured using a Hanna
Instruments Pocket Pen, turbidity was measured using a Hanna Instruments Turbidity
Meter (HI 93203-11) and conductivity was measured using an ESD conductivity meter.
Flow was estimated by measuring the velocity, depth, and width of the flowing water. A
summary of the field analytical results is presented below. Table 4-3 presents the results
of all field analyses conducted at the sampled sites. Graphs of each analyzed constituent
and appropriate action levels for follow-up investigations are included at the end of this
section. Field analytical results are also shown in Table 5-3, which presents the results of
all field and laboratory analyses.
The flow rates at sites with measurable flow ranged from 0.2 to 287.2 gallons per minute
(gpm), with an average of 14.4 gpm and a median of 3.9 gpm, as shown in Table 4-2. The
highest flow rate of 287.2 gpm was measured at Site BA51.
Water temperature was measured in the field immediately upon sample collection at each
site with ponded or flowing water. Temperature readings ranged from 17 to 28 degrees
Celsius (°C), with an average of 20.3°C and a median of 20°C. The maximum temperature
of 28°C was recorded at Site AH28 on a sunny day at noon. The minimum temperature of
17°C was measured at Sites AH27 and AH30. Graph 4-1 presents the results of
temperature readings at all sites.
The pH values ranged from 4.4 to 9.1, with an average of 7.7 and a median of 7.8. The
highest pH reading of 9.1 was observed at Site EN02B, while the lowest pH of 4.4 was
recorded at Site EN14A. Graph 4-2 presents the results of pH readings at all sites.
Turbidity measurements ranged from below the instrument detection limit to 176 NTU,
with an average of 18.9 NTU and a median of 7.4 NTU. The highest turbidity reading of
176 NTU was recorded at Site EN18, and the lowest measurement of 0 NTU was
documented at Site AH45. Graph 4-3 presents the results of turbidity measurements at all
sites.
Conductivity readings ranged from 917 to 8150 μmhos/cm, with an average of 3660.3
μmhos/cm and a median of 4060 μmhos/cm. The highest conductivity measurement of
8150 μmhos/cm was observed at Site AH46, while the lowest reading of 917 μmhos/cm
was taken at Site AH27. Graph 4-4 illustrates the results of conductivity measurements at
all sites.
Ammonia is a common indicator of pollution from decomposing organic matter, agricultural
or household fertilizer runoff, or the presence of sewage. Ammonia occurs naturally in the
environment, however, in higher quantities it can become toxic to fish and other organisms.
Ammonia concentrations measured in the water samples ranged from below the method
detection limit to 56 mg NH3-N/L, with an average of 1.6 mg NH3-N/L and a median of 0.5
mg NH3-N/L. The highest ammonia concentration, measured at 56 mg NH3-N/L, was
observed at Site BA27, while analysis of a sample from Site AH10 resulted in an ammonia
concentration below the detection limit. Graph 4-5 shows the results of the ammonia
analyses at all sampling locations.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 25
Detergent concentrations in water samples indicate illegal discharge from either
industrial/commercial or residential sources. Pollution resulting from detergents alters the
surface tension of water and disrupts the breathing mechanisms of fish gills and other
aquatic organisms. During field analysis, detergent concentrations ranged from 0.25 mg/L
to 8 mg/L, with an average of 0.86 mg/L and a median of 0.25 mg/L. Detergents were
generally detected at a concentration of 0.25 mg/L, however, the highest concentration of 8
mg/L was found at Site BA27. Graph 4-6 presents the results of the detergents analyses at
all sampling locations.
Nitrate is a common indicator of nutrient pollution from agricultural or household fertilizer
runoff. Nitrate pollution can cause excessive algal growth, which will later cause the
suffocation of fish and other aquatic organisms by depleting oxygen from the water during
algal decomposition. Nitrate concentrations measured in the water samples ranged from
below the method detection limit to greater than 40 mg NO3-N/L, with an average of 7.8 mg
NO3-N/L and a median of 2.0 mg NO3-N/L. The highest nitrate concentration of greater
than 40 mg NO3-N/L was observed at Sites AH08, AH10, AH13, and EN02. The lowest
concentration of nitrate, below the detection limit, was found at six sites throughout the
City. Graph 4-7 presents the results of nitrate analyses at all sampling locations.
Reactive Phosphorus (orthophosphate-P) is also a common indicator of nutrient
pollution from agricultural or household fertilizer runoff. Similar to nitrate, phosphate
pollution can cause nutrient enrichment (eutrophication), stimulate algal growth, and thus
deplete oxygen in the water to levels that are dangerous for aquatic life. Even low levels of
phosphate can cause significant algal growth, as it is commonly the limiting nutrient in plant
growth. During the field analysis, orthophosphate was measured in mg/L PO4 and
converted into mg/L reactive phosphorus (orthophosphate-P) using a conversion factor of
0.326. Reactive phosphorus was found at concentrations ranging from below the method
detection limit to 6.5 mg PO4-P/L, with an average of 0.47 mg PO4-P/L and a median of 0.2
mg PO4-P/L. The highest concentration of reactive phosphorus was found at Site BA47
and the lowest level, below the detection limit, was observed at Sites AH32 , AH59 and
EN19. Graph 4-8 illustrates the results of reactive phosphorus at all sampling locations.

5 LABORATORY ANALYTICAL RESULTS
5.1 Summary
Laboratory analyses were conducted at fifteen randomly pre-selected sites, or 25
percent of all sites with ponded or flowing water. EnviroMatrix Analytical, Inc.
conducted the chemical analyses and bacterial analyses were conducted by MEC
Analytical Systems, Inc. A summary of the laboratory analytical results is discussed
below and is presented in Table 5-1. Table 5-2 presents the all of the results from
laboratory analyses discussed below. The laboratory reports are included in Appendix
C. Table 5-3 presents a comprehensive summary of the results of all field and
laboratory analyses.
Surfactants (MBAS) are analyzed to detect detergent pollution from residential,
commercial, or industrial washing activities. Surfactants were not detected at or above
the reporting limit of 0.5 mg/L at any of the sampled sites.
Oil and grease analysis is used to detect hydrocarbon pollution from a variety of
sources including parking lots, washing activities, illegal discharges, and automobile
repair facilities. Oil and grease measurements ranged from below the laboratory
detection limit of 1 mg/L to 530 mg/L, with an average of 93.53 mg/L and a median
concentration of 3 mg/L. The highest concentration of 530 mg/L was found at Site
AH08 while Sites AH03 and AH10 had comparable concentrations of 444 mg/L and 317
mg/L, respectively. Site EN02B also had an elevated oil and grease concentration of 84
mg/L. Sites BV02, BA02, and BA03 had no detectable oil and grease concentrations.
Total hardness measures the amount of calcium and magnesium ions in a water
sample, and the result is expressed in mg/L of CaCO3. Total hardness values ranged
from 300 to 3430 mg/L CaCO3, with an average of 988.2 mg/L and a median of 821
mg/L CaCO3. The highest total hardness value of 3430 mg/L was observed at Site
AH59 and the lowest value of 300 mg/L CaCO3 was found at Site BA49.
Diazinon and chlorpyrifos are organophosphate pesticides that can be harmful to
aquatic organisms if transported in urban runoff. Diazinon and chlorpyrifos are highly
toxic to birds, mammals, and other beneficial insects. They are also highly toxic to
freshwater fish and invertebrates following acute exposure. During the 2002 Dry
Weather Monitoring Program, none of the sampled sites showed the presence of either
pesticide at a concentration above the laboratory detection limit.
Metal concentrations in the environment can originate from a variety of sources
including automobiles, parking lots and roads, automobile repair facilities, car washing,
industrial activities such as galvanizing, or electronics manufacturers. The laboratory
samples collected during the 2002 Dry Weather Monitoring Program were analyzed for
the presence of dissolved cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc. No samples showed metal
concentrations above the analytical detection limit of 0.1 mg/L.
Coliform bacteria are relatively harmless to humans and are present in all mammalian
digestive tracts. Water samples are analyzed for the total coliform bacteria count to
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 30
indicate the presence of other more harmful pathogenic (disease causing) organisms
that are associated with coliform but are difficult to test for because they are present in
much smaller quantities. During the dry weather monitoring program, total coliform
counts ranged from 20 to >160,000 MPN/100ml, with an average of 17,007 MPN/100ml
and a median of 1700 MPN/100ml. The highest concentration of >160,000 MPN/100ml
was found at Site BV02.
Fecal coliform and enterococcus are more specific types of bacteria used to
determine the presence of fecal contamination from humans and animals. A host of
human diseases, particularly those of the gastro-intestinal tract, are spread through
fecally contaminated water. Fecal coliform counts ranged from less than 20 to 50,000
MPN/100ml with an average of 4,005 MPN/100ml and a median of 500 MPN/100ml.
Site BA13 had the highest fecal coliform concentration of 50,000 MPN/100ml. Sites
AH28 and EN02C had fecal coliform concentrations of less than 20 MPN/100ml.
Enterococcus counts ranged from 80 to 50,000 MPN/100ml with an average of 5930
MPN/100ml and a median of 500 MPN/100ml. Sites BA13 and BA40 had the highest
concentrations of 50,000 MPN/100ml and 24,000 MPN/100ml, respectively. Other
samples generally had counts lower than 2000 MPN/100/ml.
The City of Carlsbad requested that three additional constituents be included in the
analysis of laboratory samples, including nitrate-N, ammonia-N, and turbidity for
comparison with field-test kit results. Following is a summary of the results of these
analyses. Table 5-3 presents the results of the additional analyses.
Ammonia-N concentrations ranged from below the laboratory detection limit of 0.1 mg
NH3-N/L to 0.8 mg NH3-N/L, with an average of 0.29 and a median of 0.2 mg NH3-N/L.
Site BA13 had the highest concentration of 0.8 mg NH3-N/L and Site AH32 did not have
a detectable concentration of ammonia-N.
Nitrate-N concentrations ranged from below the laboratory detection limit of 0.5 mg
NO3-N/L to 74 mg NO3-N/L, with an average of 13.05 and a median of 4.6 mg NO3-N/L.
The highest concentration of 74 mg NO3-N was found at Site EN02-C and nitrate-N was
not detected at Site AH28.
Turbidity measurements ranged from 0.7 to 23.3 NTU, with an average of 4.48 and a
median of 2.59 NTU. The highest turbidity value of 23.3 NTU was observed at Site
AH03 while the lowest value of 0.7 NTU was measured at Site EN02C.

5.2 Confidence Intervals
Ninety percent (90%) confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate results of
bacterial analyses and determine statistical outliers. The confidence intervals for each
particular type of bacteria are presented below.
Bacteria Average +/- 90% Confidence Interval (Average + 90% Confidence Interval)
Total Coliform 17,007 +/- 17,653 MPN/100ml 34,660 MPN/100ml
Fecal Coliform 4,005 +/- 5,415 MPN/100ml 9,420 MPN/100ml
Enterococcus 5930 +/- 5777 MPN/100ml 11,707 MPN/100ml
Bacteria results that exceed the sum of the average and the 90% confidence interval
were considered statistical outliers and follow-up investigations are recommended in

6 DATA ANALYSIS
Based on the visual observations and the field and laboratory analytical testing
conducted during program, the following sites demonstrated physical and chemical
evidence of possible illegal discharge and/or illicit connections for which further
investigation is warranted.
Site AH03
Site AH03 consists of an outfall that drains directly into Agua Hedionda lagoon, which is
located east of the railroad tracks and southwest of Maya Street (photo 2-10). Oil and
grease were detected at this site at a concentration of 444 mg/L, which is significantly
above the numeric action level of 15 mg/L. A source was not identified at the time of
sampling, however, extensive construction was in progress just upstream of the site. In
addition, turbidity was measured in the field at 44.79 NTU while laboratory turbidity
results were 23.3 NTU, which may provide additional information for follow-up source
identification. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact source of oil and
grease to this site.
Site AH08
Site AH08 is an outfall located within Encinas Power Plant, east of the plant tower
(photos 2-11 and 2-12). This outfall drains portions of the Interstate 5 freeway and
Cannon Road. Nitrate was detected in the field at a concentration greater than 40 mg
NO3-N/L (laboratory results indicated a nitrate concentration of 36.5 mg NO3-N/L) during
the first site visit and this concentration dropped to 28 mg NO3-N/L at the time of the
second visit. The flow also appeared to decrease from about 20 gpm to 8 gpm between
visits. It is possible that the nitrate concentration was elevated due to a transient flow,
however, further investigation is required to determine the source of nitrate to this site.
Laboratory analysis showed an oil and grease concentration of 530 mg/L, which is
significantly higher than the action level of 15 mg/L. This may be a result of automobile
leaks from the I-5 freeway or along Cannon Road, but further source investigation is
required.
Site AH10
Site AH10 consists of an earthen channel flowing to two 60-inch diameter RCPs located
west of Avenida Encinas, near the Manzano Street and El Arbol Drive intersection,
adjacent to the railroad tracks (photos 2-14 and 2-15). Field-test kit analysis during the
first site visit revealed a nitrate concentration of 40 mg NO3-N/L (measured as 44.2 mg
NO3-N/L in the laboratory), while a concentration exceeding 40 mg NO3-N/L was
detected in the field upon a follow-up visit. Laboratory analysis also showed an oil and
grease concentration of 317 mg/L, which greatly exceeds the action level of 15 mg/L.
The source of the high nitrate concentration at this site remains to be determined.
However, exceedences of detergents during previous years of dry weather monitoring
have spurred upstream investigations. The source of discharge to Site AH10 has been
traced to two primary conveyances: a concrete channel located south of the site that
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 35
diverts runoff from a flower shop at 5600 Avenida Encinas, and a natural channel that
runs east/west of the site, perpendicular to Avenida Encinas. This second channel
connects to a concrete channel that collects runoff from Sites AH11, AH12, and AH13.
Elevated oil and grease concentrations may be derived from Car Country Carlsbad
automobile dealerships. Further investigation is required.
Site AH11
Site AH11 is a 36-inch diameter outfall located south of Cannon Road and west of
Paseo del Norte near the “Car Country Carlsbad” sign (photo 2-16). The outfall drains
into the mainline concrete channel located east of the Interstate-5 freeway. Ponded
water was observed at this site during the first visit. Trickle flow was observed during
the follow-up visit. Field screening during initial and follow-up visits resulted in ammonia
concentrations of 2.0 mg NH3-N/L and 1.5 mg NH3-N/L, respectively. The water was
cloudy with a yellowish/brownish hue. An oily sheen was observed on the surface, and
excessive trash littered the general site area.
Site AH12
Site AH12 is a 36-inch diameter RCP outfall located west of the Ken Grody Ford
parking lot off Paseo del Norte, on the east bank of the concrete channel running east
of the Interstate-5 freeway (photo 2-17). During the first site visit, ammonia was
detected at 3.0 mg NH3-N/L and detergents measured 6.0 mg/L. The follow-up visit
revealed an ammonia concentration of 2.0 mg NH3-N/L and detergents at 4.0 mg/L. The
flow was slightly lower at the time of the second visit, and the lower concentrations of
ammonia and detergents indicate that transient flows containing these constituents are
a possible source of high concentrations.
This site has demonstrated consistently high levels of detergents in the past.
Upstream source investigations of Site AH12 performed in 1999, 2000, and 2001 have
indicated that the main source of water at this site originates from a catch basin, which
drains water from car washing activities performed daily at the Bob Baker Jeep
dealership and Mitsubishi dealership on Car Country Boulevard. Analysis of this runoff
has resulted in detergent levels greater than 3.0 mg/L. It is likely that car washing
continues to be the cause of detergent exceedences at Site AH12, however, further
investigation is required to determine the source of ammonia to this site.
Site AH13
Site AH13 consists of two 48-inch diameter RCPs located in a concrete channel found
west of Paseo del Norte, approximately 250 feet north of The Holiday Inn (photos 3-19
and 3-20). This site was littered with trash and a nitrate concentration exceeding 40 mg
NO3-N/L was measured during each of two site visits.
This site collects irrigation runoff from the flower fields located east of the Carlsbad
Company Stores shopping center on Paseo del Norte. Fertilizer runoff from the flower
fields may be contributing to the high nitrate concentrations observed at this site.
Further investigation is required to more accurately determine the source of nitrate to
this site.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 36
Site AH31
Site AH31 is an outfall flowing to an earthen channel, located south of Chestnut Street
and east of Sierra Morena Avenue (photo 1-11). A strong rotten egg odor was detected
and extensive trash was observed in the general site area. An ammonia concentration
of 2.5 mg NH3-N/L was detected during the first site visit, leading to an upstream
investigation. Water flowing into an inlet on Chestnut Street directly across from the site
was tested and ammonia measured 0.7 mg NH3-N/L. This flow was traced to a
residence on Ames Place where the irrigation system was causing excess runoff. A
follow-up visit was performed the next day, and the ammonia level had dropped to 1.5
mg NH3-N/L. Flow at the site was also reduced from a slight trickle to ponded water, as
the runoff observed upon the first visit had ceased and was no longer entering the inlet.
Although the overland flow from the irrigation system was a likely contributor to the high
ammonia concentration, decomposing trash and organic matter found in an upstream
manhole may also further contribute to the elevated ammonia levels. Further
investigation is required to more precisely determine the source of the high ammonia
levels at this site.
Site AH61
Site AH61 is a manhole located northeast of 2875 Loker Avenue (photo 4-3). Nitrate
concentrations measured 18 mg NO3-N/L and 8 mg NO3-N/L during two consecutive
site visits. The water was ponded during both visits and extensive organic matter
(decomposing leaves) was found in the manhole. Further investigation is required to
determine the source of nitrate to this site.
Site BA06
Site BA06 is a manhole junction box with a 36-inch diameter RCP inlet located on the
east side of Batiquitos Drive, midway between Pointsettia Lane and Daisy Avenue
(photo 1-27). Ammonia measured 1.5 mg NH3-N/L during the first site visit and dropped
to 0.6 mg NH3-N/L during the follow-up visit. Flow increased from approximately 7 gpm
to 13 gpm between visits, possibly accounting for a diluted, and thus reduced, ammonia
concentration.
Site BA06 has had high concentrations of ammonia in the past. According to the City’s
drainage maps of this location, Site BA06 is directly downstream of Nutmeg Way. A
sample taken from a gutter on Nutmeg Way during a past upstream investigation
revealed an ammonia concentration greater than 10 mg NH3-N/L. This flow was traced
to residential lawn and landscaping irrigation runoff. Over-watering of residential lawns
in this community is a potential source of runoff that carries excessive fertilizers and
ammonia into the storm water conveyance system.
Site BA13
Site BA13 is a debris basin outlet to Batiquitos Lagoon located near the southwest
corner of the El Camino Real and Arenal Drive intersection (photos 3-7 and 3-8).
Runoff from Manzanita Street, Columbine Drive and Aviara Parkway is conveyed
through this outlet. A laboratory sample collected at this site resulted in levels of total
coliform, fecal coliform and enterococcus bacteria at 50,000 MPN/100ml (each), which
is significantly above the calculated statistical confidence intervals. Elevated bacteria
levels may be a result of bacterial growth in the stagnant water (the flow at this location
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 37
was reported as “not measurable” during sample collection), or may also originate from
an upstream source. Further investigation is required to more precisely determine the
source of bacterial contamination at this site.
Site BA27
Site BA27 is an outfall located approximately 100 feet into the canyon near the El
Fuerte and Chorlito Street intersection (photos 3-4, 3-5, 4-14 and 4-15). During the first
site visit, a slight trickle was observed from the outfall, and analysis of a sample
revealed an ammonia concentration of approximately 56 mg NH3-N/L with a detergents
concentration of 3.0 mg/L. A follow-up visit was performed the next day, and the slight
trickle was no longer present. A sample was collected from ponded water near the
mouth of the outfall, and analysis resulted in an ammonia measurement of 2.5 mg NH3-
N/L. A second follow-up visit indicated an ammonia concentration of 2.0 mg NH3-N/L
and a detergent concentration of 8.0 mg/L. The initially high concentration of ammonia
was likely the result of a transient flow, and the detergent concentration could have
increased upon the second visit due to evaporation of the ponded water. Further
investigation is required to determine the source of these constituents.
Site BA40
Site BA40 consists of a 72” RCP that drains into San Marcos Creek and is located near
the intersection of Rancho Santa Fe Road and Melrose Drive (photo 3-13). This site
conveys runoff from the surrounding areas including Melrose Drive and Xana Way.
Bacterial analyses at this site showed elevated counts of enterococcus bacteria at
24,000 MPN/100ml, which is above the statistical confidence interval. Total coliform
counts were also high (11,000 MPN/100ml), however, did not exceed the confidence
interval. Potential sources were not identified at the time of sampling, thus further
investigation is required.
Site BA43
Site BA43 is a 60-inch diameter outfall located 30 yards north of the Levante Street and
El Camino Real intersection (photo 3-6). Ammonia was detected at 1.5 mg NH3-N/L
during a first site visit and dropped to 0.8 mg NH3-N/L upon a second visit. Laboratory
analysis showed an ammonia concentration of 0.7 mg NH3-N/L for the sample collected
during the first visit. Slightly elevated levels of total coliform were also detected at this
site, however, the results did not exceed the statistical confidence interval.
In 2000, analysis of samples collected from ponded water at the foot of the outfall
revealed elevated ammonia concentrations. The ammonia at this site likely comes from
fertilizers in irrigation runoff from local residences on Levante Street and Anillo Way,
and the high concentrations may be a result of the evaporation of ponded water
containing ammonia.
Site BA47
Site BA47 consists of a 36-inch diameter RCP connected to a manhole junction box,
located on Camino Alvaro, west of Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard (photo 3-11). During
the first site visit, pH was measured at 4.5 and reactive phosphorus was detected at
approximately 6.5 mg PO4-P/L. An upstream investigation of this site led the field crew
to the residential address 2918 Sombrosa Street, where a significant amount of water
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 38
was flowing from a large hose running across the driveway and two pool cleaning
company trucks were parked in the driveway. This flow was confirmed to be swimming
pool water, and analysis revealed a pH of 4.8 while the reactive phosphorus measured
about 6 mg PO4-P/L. City personnel were contacted immediately, and upon their arrival
the flow was stopped per their request.
This site has had a history of lower pH values (between 4.7 to 6.8). In 2001, a low pH
level of 4.7 spurred an upstream investigation. The manhole located across from Corte
Pedro on Camino Alvaro was opened and two sources of flow were observed: one from
the west along Camino Alvaro and one from the north. A pH reading of approximately
7.0 was detected in a sample taken from the west inlet. The north inlet had a discharge
with a pH of around 4.0. Just a few feet inside the north inlet there is an additional PVC
pipe, which connects on the west wall of the concrete inlet. This pipe was observed to
be the source of the low pH discharge. Downstream of the pipe a hard calcium buildup
was observed. During two site visits in 2000, pH was measured at 4.9 and 6.3. An
upstream investigation performed at that time indicated that flow entering the junction
box from the northern outfall may be influencing the pH of Site BA47. The City of
Carlsbad has plans to conduct a video investigation of the storm water conveyance
system at this site, which will effectively assist in identifying the source of chronically
low pH.
Site BV02
Site BV02 consists of two 48” RCPs located on the east side of State Street, south of
Carlsbad Boulevard (photo 1-12). This site conveys runoff from areas along State
Street and Laguna Drive and drains into Buena Vista Lagoon. Bacterial analyses at this
site showed extremely elevated total coliform concentrations at >160,000 MPN/100ml,
significantly above the statistical confidence interval. Evidence of human habitation was
observed at this site, which may be contributing to the total coliform levels. City
personnel conducted investigations on the August 1, 2002 and determined that total
coliforms were caused by pooled water and natural conditions in the highly vegetated
and shaded area.
Site BV04A
Site BV04A is an outfall located on the east bank of the Buena Vista Lagoon Ecological
Reserve (photo 1-2). Because the outfall was submerged in brackish water from the
lagoon, a sample was collected from a manhole approximately 20 feet east of the outfall
(photo 1-3). No lateral connections to the storm water conveyance system were
apparent between the manhole and the outfall. Field analysis of the sample resulted in
nitrate concentrations of 12 mg NO3-N/L and 20 mg NO3-N/L during two consecutive
site visits. A visual upstream investigation was performed and runoff from residential
irrigation was observed in several places along Highland Drive. There is also a small-
scale agricultural operation located near the intersection of Valley Street and Buena
Vista Way. Although nitrates are a basic constituent in the fertilizers applied to both
agricultural businesses and residential lawns, further investigation is required to
determine the source of nitrate to this site.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 39
Site EN02A-1
Site EN02A-1 is an open channel located west of 5600 Avenida Encinas (Encinitas
Growers Supply) near the railroad tracks (photos 1-18 and 1-19). A sample was
collected from ponded water in the channel and detergent concentrations were detected
at 8 mg/L. The field crew observed evidence of surface runoff entering the grated inlet
located approximately 60 feet upstream of the concrete outfall. Water stains in a
nearby parking lot appeared to have originated from soapy water, which was likely
generated by truck washing at Encinitas Growers Supply. A second visit was
conducted and detergents measured 2.0 mg/L. No vehicle washing was observed at
the time of the visit, but it appears that runoff is frequently generated by the
aforementioned business due to vehicle washing and hosing off the pavement/parking
lot. Trash was observed to be problematic at this site.
Historically, Site EN02A-1 has demonstrated high ammonia and detergent
concentrations. Upstream investigations at this site have provided evidence that
elevated detergent concentrations result from the washing of Encinitas Growers Supply
trucks. Personnel from the City of Carlsbad have conducted site inspections in the past
and issued corrective actions in 2001. On August 1, 2002, City staff again visited the
site and initiated contact with the property owners. Reinspection of this facility will be
scheduled by City staff.
Site ENO2B
Site EN02B is a concrete channel (portion of Encinas Creek) located inside the Encinas
Wastewater Plant (photo 2-9). During the first site visit pH was measured at 9.1, and
this value dropped to 8.8 by the time of the follow-up visit. The high pH at this site could
be a result of photosynthetic activity from algae growing in the channel. A laboratory
sample collected at this site showed an oil and grease concentration of 84 mg/L.
Runoff from the Interstate-5 freeway may be contributing to elevated oil and grease
concentrations, however, further investigation is required.
Site EN02C
Site EN02C is a 39-inch diameter outfall located on the north bank of Encinas Creek,
under the Interstate-5 freeway overpass (photo 2-8). The site is accessed through the
Encinas Wastewater Plant. Nitrate was observed to exceed 40 mg NO3-N/L during
each of two site visits. Further investigation is required to determine the source of
nitrate to this site.
Site EN09
Site EN09 is an earthen channel (portion of Encinas Creek) located south of Palomar
Airport Road on Laurel Tree Road (photo 1-22). A sample was collected from ponded
water on the west side of Laurel Tree Road, and ammonia concentrations were
measured at 2.0 mg NH3-N/L during consecutive site visits. Extensive trash was also
observed in the general site area, including furniture in the channel and concrete debris
left from local construction activities. It is likely that the ammonia concentration was
elevated in the stagnant water due to decomposing vegetation in the channel, however,
further investigation is required to determine the specific source.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 40
Site EN14A
Site EN14A is a 48-inch diameter RCP outfall flowing to a concrete energy dissipater
located approximately 30 yards west of 1911 Palomar Oaks Way in the bottom of a
canyon (photo 1-23). Initial field analysis resulted in a pH measurement of 4.5 and an
ammonia concentration of 1.5 mg NH3-N/L. During a follow-up visit, the pH was 4.4 and
ammonia remained at 1.5 mg NH3N-L. The water at this site was covered in a thick
sludge with brown, green, and white-colored foam. There was styrofoam packaging
material littering the surface of the water and other trash in the general site area.
This site has had a history of low pH values and high ammonia concentrations. In
2001, ammonia was measured at 2.0 mg NH3-N/L and the pH value equaled 4.0. The
D-MAX field crew spoke with local landscape architects and found that the fertilizing of
landscaped slopes near the site occurs frequently, and it is likely that irrigation overflow
enters the storm water conveyance system and causes significant amounts of ammonia
to accumulate at this site. During the 2000 dry weather program, pH was measured at
4.6 during two site visits. The upstream investigation performed at that time detected
no significant levels of pH in conveyances upstream or to the east of the site, and it is
believed that groundwater infiltration may be the cause of the low pH levels detected at
this site. The City of Carlsbad has plans to conduct a video investigation of the storm
water conveyance system at this site, which will effectively assist in identifying the
source of the chronically low pH. Further investigation is required to determine the
exact source of high ammonia concentrations at this site
Site EN18
Site EN18 is a 48-inch diameter outfall located behind 1979 Palomar Oaks Way (photo
2-20) that drains into a mainline concrete channel. At the time of the first site visit on
June 10, 2002 a chemical odor was detected and the mainline concrete channel
adjacent to Site EN18 was full of very cloudy water with a grayish milky appearance
(photos 2-18, 2-21 and 2-23). Field analysis of a sample collected from the mainline
channel near Site EN18 revealed an ammonia concentration of 2.0 mg NH3-N/L and a
turbidity value of 296 NTU. City personnel accompanying the D-MAX field crew
collected a water sample from the mainline channel for laboratory analysis. A local
worker said that the water had maintained a cloudy appearance for about two weeks,
and when he first noticed the discoloration there was also a very strong odor that was
detectable from a great distance. The field crew performed an upstream investigation,
leading to Palomar Oaks Way and Camino Vida Roble, but the origin of the flow could
not be traced to a specific location. Ensuing conversations with City personnel
indicated that the source of the contaminated water might have been near the
intersection of Palomar Oaks Way and Camino Vida Roble.
City and other local agency personnel continued the investigation immediately after the
initial screening. On June 14, , 2002 an illegal connection from a manufacturing
operation was identified and a cease and desist order was issued to terminate the
discharge. The City of Carlsbad and Encina Wastewater Authority personnel have
been in constant communication with the manufacturing plant operators to provide
permanent solutions.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2002 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 41
Site EN21
Site EN21 is a manhole junction box located on Camino Vida Roble, midway between
Owens Avenue and Palomar Airport Road (photo 4-4). A pH of 5.6 was measured
during an initial site visit, and a follow-up visit resulted in a pH value of 6.0. The flow
was traced upstream, and a pH of 5.7 was detected in a manhole approximately 30
yards north of Owens Avenue on Camino Vida Roble.
Field screening during previous years has revealed low pH measurements at this site.
In 2000, a pH value of 6.3 was detected in a water sample with a bright red or violet
hue. The following upstream investigation lead the field crew to a flower supply
warehouse called Florexpo, located at 1964 Kellog Avenue. The City of Carlsbad staff
have since inspected this facility and have determined that appropriate best
management practices (BMPs) are in place. City staff have also performed video
investigations of the surrounding storm water conveyance system. Further investigation
is required to determine the source of low pH at this site, which may not be associated
with Florexpo.

7 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Summary
Among the sixty-one visited sites, forty-nine had measurable flowing water. The flow
rate ranged from less than one gallon per minute (gpm) to 297.2 gpm. Eleven sites had
ponded water, and two sites had flowing water during the first site visit but were ponded
during the follow-up visit. The presence of ponded water is an indication of the
intermittent nature of dry weather flow in the study area. One site had a flow that was
not measurable and one site was dry.
An Ammonia concentration of 1.0 mg NH3-N/L or higher was found at fourteen sites.
Ammonia was not detected at one site.
Nitrate concentrations of at or above 10 mg NO3-N/L were observed at six sites, while
another six sites has no detectable levels of nitrate.
A reactive phosphorous concentration of 2.0 mg PO4-P/L or higher was found at one
site, and reactive phosphorous was not detected at three sites.
Detergent concentrations at or exceeding 1.0 mg/L were observed at four sites. Lower
concentrations of detergents were detected at all of the sites with ponded or flowing
water.
Floatable materials such as plastic, paper containers, aluminum cans, furniture, leaves,
and wood debris were found at several of the visited sites. Bubbles were observed at
ten sites, foam or scum covered the water surface at four sites, and an oily sheen or
organic film was observed at eleven sites. Sediment or organic matter in the form of
decomposing vegetation was noted at several sites and fecal material from a non-
domesticated animal was found adjacent to the flow at one site.
Vegetative growth ranged from no growth to natural, with the majority of sites located in
sunny areas such as open channels having natural vegetation and sites located in dark
structures such as manholes having no vegetation.
A variety of biological organisms were observed at the visited sites, including algae,
duckweed, snails, tadpoles, fish, crawdads, and ducks.
Laboratory analyses were conducted at 15 sites, which were selected to represent
runoff from each drainage basin, and indicated contamination at seven sites. Sites
AH03, AH08, AH10 and EN02B were found to have elevated oil and grease
concentrations of 444 mg/L, 530 mg/L, 317 mg/L and 84 mg/L, respectively. Bacterial
contamination was evident at Sites BA13, BA 40 and BV02. Site BA13 had high counts
of total coliform bacteria, fecal coliform bacteria and enterococcus, all of which were
measured at 50,000 MPN/100ml. None of the laboratory samples had detectable
amounts of dissolved metals, pesticides (diazinon and chlorpyrifos) or surfactants. Lab
results also confirmed nitrate contamination at sites AH08 and AH10.

7.2 Recommendations
Based on the results of the year 2002 Dry Weather Field Screening Program for the
City of Carlsbad, the ensuing follow-up actions are recommended for consideration.
7.2.1 Further Investigations
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of high nitrate
concentrations at Sites AH08, AH10, AH13, AH61, and EN02C.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of high ammonia
concentrations at Sites AH11, AH12, AH31, BA06, BA27, BA43, EN09 and EN18.
• Conduct an upstream investigation to determine the source of detergent at Site
BA27.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of low pH values at Sites
BA47 and EN21.
• Perform an upstream investigation of Site BV04A to determine the source of high
nitrate concentrations at this site. Check for runoff from residential irrigation along
Highland Drive and from the small-scale agricultural operation located near the
intersection of Valley Street and Buena Vista Way. Because this site is situated on
the Buena Vista Lagoon Ecological Reserve, eutrophication (excessive nutrient
loading to a biological system resulting from anthropogenic activities) could
adversely affect water quality at the lagoon and thus endanger this sensitive area.
• Conduct a thorough investigation of Site EN14A to determine the source of low pH
values, high ammonia concentrations, and the thick sludge of brown, green, and
white-colored foam that covers the water at this site. This may require an extensive
inquiry regarding the seepage of groundwater into the storm water conveyance
system, and thus a possible contributing source of discharge to this site.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of bacterial
contamination at Sites BA13, BA40 and BV02.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of oil and grease
contamination at Sites AH03, AH08, AH10 and EN02B.
7.2.2 Education
• Send an educational brochure regarding storm water BMPs to Encinitas Growers
Supply, located at 5600 Avenida Encinas, upstream of Site EN02A-1. Ensure that
this business receives materials explaining that the washing of trucks and the
hosing down of their parking lot can result in an overflow of detergent-contaminated
water to the storm drain. In addition, send them a notice stating that activities
resulting in a discharge of polluted water to the storm water conveyance system is
considered an illegal activity via violation of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Permit.

• Send an educational brochure regarding storm water residential BMPs for lawn care
or make other appropriate contact with the residences surrounding Site BA04 to
encourage water conservation and explain that the overwatering of lawns can
generate runoff that carries pollutants into the storm water conveyance system.
• Send an educational brochure regarding storm water BMPs to local pool cleaning
companies explaining that the draining of chemically-treated swimming pool water
directly into the storm water conveyance system is considered an illegal activity via
violation of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Permit.
7.2.3 Inspection and Maintenance
• Establish a schedule for the routine removal of trash from Sites AH11, AH12, AH13,
AH31, BA04, BA13, BA41, BA48, BV02, BV06, EN02A-1, EN09, EN14A, and EN24.
• Conduct follow-up inspections to review the best management practices (BMPs) at
the car dealerships on Car Country Boulevard. Ensure that these businesses
receive materials explaining that car washing activities can result in an overflow of
detergent-contaminated water to the storm drain.
• Extensive construction activities were observed in the vicinity of Site AH03.
Although adequate BMPs were in place, a regular inspection schedule should be
established to ensure that the sandbags on the slopes and the sediment piles
adjacent to the site are properly maintained.
• Inspect the flow coming from a 3 inch-diameter PVC pipe in the curb at the top of
the cul-de-sac on Calavo Court near the residential address 1732. Significant algal
growth in the flow stream indicates that the discharge is chronic, and it should be
determined whether the flow is originating from a broken water line or groundwater
sources.
• Post “No Trespassing” signs around Site BA13, and if possible, fence this area off to
prevent public access. Extensive evidence of misconduct was observed at this site,
including excessive broken bottles, trash, and a large pile of junk (mattresses, wood
debris, furniture). Also, a broken water meter near Arenal Street was observed, and
was likely to have been flowing for some time, as indicated by algal growth in the
stream of flow. This meter should be fixed immediately.
