1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Regulatory Requirements
On February 21, 2001, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)
issued Order No. 2001-01 (NPDES No. CAS0108758), a 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 permit, copermittees are also required to conduct more extensive dry weather
monitoring of the storm drain system, 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 water, 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 second year of this expanded monitoring
program are presented herein. The 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.
1.2 Program Overview
To comply with the San Diego municipal storm water permit (Order 2001-01) adopted by
the San Diego 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 2003 Dry Weather Field Screening and
Analytical Monitoring Program conducted by D-MAX Engineering, Inc.

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 (see Figure 1). 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 eight years. A summary of the screening results obtained for each year (1995
through 2002) is discussed below and presented in Table 1-1.
• 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
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 3
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.
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
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 4
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).
• In 2002, the City conducted field screening at a total of 60 sites. Measurable flow
was observed at 48 of the primary sites, while eleven sites were ponded, and one
site was dry. Since one of the stations was observed dry, an alternate site (BV08)
was selected for monitoring with this site having measurable flow. Ammonia
concentrations of 1.0 mg/L or higher were found at fourteen of the sites, with the
highest concentration at Site BA27 of 56 mg/L. Nitrate was found at concentrations
of 10 mg/L or higher at six of the sites, with four of these sites having nitrate
concentrations exceeding 40 mg/L. Only one site, Site BA47, had a concentration
of reactive phosphate above 2.0 mg/L. The reactive phosphate concentration at
this site measured 6.5 mg/L, but dropped to at or below 0.5 mg/L on two follow-up
visits. Detergents were measured at or greater than 1.0 mg/L at four of the sites
and all the sites had at least a small amount of detergent present. Measurements
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 5
of pH found that three sites had pH levels below 6.5 and one site had a pH above
9.0. Laboratory analysis for oil and grease found four sites with elevated
concentrations and bacterial analysis found contamination at three of the sites.
Laboratory results for detergents, pesticides and metals all had concentrations
either at non-detect or below the action level. Floatable materials such as scum,
foam, oily sheens, organic films, wood debris, plastic, paper and aluminum cans
were found at several of the sites. Foam or scum covered the water surface at four
sites, bubbles were observed at ten sites and an oily sheen or organic film was
noted at eleven sites.

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 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. During the
2003 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.
The City of Carlsbad also requested an additional study of four creek sites during the 2003
dry weather monitoring program in order to gather water quality information on some of the
City’s major water bodies. The four creek sites that were selected for this study are:
• Agua Hedionda Creek (Site AH Creek-1)
• Buena Vista Creek (Site BV Creek-1)
• Encinas Creek (Site EN Creek-1)
• San Marcos Creek (Site SM Creek-1)
Results of this additional study are presented in Section 7.
Table 2-1 provides the site number, descriptive location, conveyance configuration, land
use and latitude and longitude of all the sampling locations 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 1.

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 C. 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. Photos are included as 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)
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 15
* Surfactants are also referred to as detergents, specifically with respect to discussion
of field test kit results. Due to the importance of surfactants, the City conducted
analysis for this parameter in both the field and laboratory. MBAS refers to methylene
blue active substances.
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 sites
(representing 25% of all sampling locations) where ponded or flowing water was observed.
Water samples for laboratory analysis were also collected at four additional sites for the new
creek sites added this year. Samples were submitted to Enviromatrix Analytical, Inc, a
California Department of Health Services certified laboratory, for analysis of the following
constituents:
• 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
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. The glass electrode tube was
kept moist to preserve the meter’s accuracy during field work. The turbidity meter was
calibrated and was periodically checked for accuracy using standard solutions. The
conductivity meter was checked with standard solutions and calibrated as necessary.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 16
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 twice during the sampling program
by analyzing solutions of known concentrations for ammonia, detergents, nitrate, and reactive
phosphorus. The results of the assessment are tabulated in the table below.
FIELD ANALYSIS QA/QC RESULTS
Date Analyte Known Concentration Field Test Kit Results
7/15/03 Ammonia 1.0 mg/L 1.0 mg/L
7/15/03 Detergents 0.5 mg/L 0.5 mg/L
7/15/03 Nitrate 1.0 mg/L 1.0 mg/L

7/21/03 Nitrate 1.0 mg/L 1.0 mg/L
7/21/03 Reactive Phosphorus 1.0 mg/L 0.9 mg/L
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
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 8).
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 17
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)
California Toxics Rule; 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, methylene blue active substances (MBAS), oil and grease,
diazinon, chlorpyrifos, total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococcus analytical results
(Table 3-3). If pH, conductivity, reactive phosphorus, nitrate, ammonia, and MBAS were
observed above the numeric action level, a follow-up investigation was conducted within
24 hours to investigate the source unless best professional judgment indicated otherwise.
If oil and grease, diazinon, chlorpyrifos, total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococcus
laboratory analytical results exceed numeric action levels, then a source investigation is
recommended to the City.
California Toxics Rule
The California Toxics Rule (CTR) 1-hour criteria was used to determine appropriate action
levels for dissolved trace metals, including cadmium, copper, lead and zinc. The CTR
Tables provide benchmarks based on hardness and dissolved metals concentration. This
rule applied to the dissolved metals cadmium, copper and zinc as concentrations of these
metals were detected during the field screening program.
Best Professional Judgment
Best professional judgment was utilized as the primary approach for interpreting
conductivity, 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 that exceed certain action levels may be
the result of natural or background factors.

4 FIELD SCREENING RESULTS
The dry weather monitoring program commenced on July 14, 2003 and was completed on
July 25, 2003. 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). A total
of 91 site visits were performed, including visual surveys at the aforementioned dry site and
30 follow-up visits to sites where one or more constituents were found to exceed specified
action levels.
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 two-thirds of the samples were collected during partly cloudy conditions,
while roughly the other one-third of the samples were collected under overcast conditions.
Only two of the samples were collected during sunny weather.
Odor
The only water sample with an observable odor during the field screening program was
found at Site BA07 and 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. Approximately half of these yellowish water
samples were pale in color and the rest were a darker shade of yellow. Samples taken
from five of the sites initially had a yellowish hue, but turned pale yellow during a follow-up
visit. Site AH10 had water that was initially light yellow, but was colorless upon the second
visit, while Site BV09 had water that was initially colorless and then appeared light yellow
on the return visit.
Clarity
Water samples collected from all of the sites were clear with negligible suspended particles
observed.
Floatable Materials
Floatable materials in the form of trash, foam, bubbles and oily or dusty sheens were
observed at many of the sites that had flowing or ponded water. Trash was observed
floating in the water at two sites, Sites BV04A and EN14A. Sites AH10, AH18, BA36,
EN02A, EN14A, EN21, EN23 and EN24 were observed to have foam or bubbles near the
sampling area. An oily or rainbow sheen was found at Site AH09, however, the sheen only
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 22
covered a small section of the water surface. Dusty sheens were observed on the water
surface at sites AH12, AH13, EN02A and EN21.
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.
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 duckweed, snails, fish, crawfish, frogs, insects, and ducks.
Other
Sediment deposition in the sampling location was observed at all but five of the sites.
Trash was observed in the vicinity of twenty-two sites throughout the City and was
problematic at sites AH18, AH31, BA48, BA52, BV02 and EN09. Organic matter in the

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
statistical summary of the field analytical results is presented in Table 4-2. Table 4-3
presents the results of all field analyses conducted at the sampled sites. Graphs of each
parameter analyzed and appropriate action levels for follow-up investigations are also
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 less than 1.0 to 159 gallons per
minute (gpm), with an average of 14.4 gpm and a median of 3.0 gpm, as shown in Table 4-
2. The highest flow rate of 159 gpm was measured at Site BA51.
Water temperature is an important physical parameter because it is needed to assess the
significance of other parameters such as pH and conductivity. Also, the aquatic habitat
must remain within a certain temperature range in order to sustain sensitive aquatic life.
Water temperature was measured in the field immediately upon sample collection at each
site with ponded or flowing water. Temperature readings ranged from 19 to 31 degrees
Celsius (°C), with an average of 22.2°C and a median of 22.0°C. The maximum
temperature of 31°C was recorded at Site EN02A-1 in ponded water. The minimum
temperature of 19°C was measured at Sites AH59, BV02 and EN02C. Graph 4-1 presents
the results of temperature readings at all sites.
The pH is a measure of whether a water body is acidic or basic. This is a critical factor in
determining water quality, as the pH of an aquatic system will drive a multitude of chemical
reactions, including the availability of nutrients or the solubility of chemical substances.
The pH values ranged from 6.0 to 8.0, with an average of 7.2 and a median of 7.3. The
highest pH reading of 8.0 was observed at two sites, sites BA34 and BV06. The lowest pH
of 6.0 was recorded at Site EN23. Graph 4-2 presents the results of pH readings at all
sites.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 28
Turbidity indicates the clarity or cloudiness of a water sample, or the degree to which light
is blocked by suspended material in the water. Turbid waters not only limit the amount of
light that reaches submerged vegetation (thus reducing photosynthetic capacity), but
excessive suspended particles can also absorb heat and elevate water temperatures.
Turbidity measurements ranged from 0.29 to 40.80 NTU, with an average of 8.92 NTU and
a median of 5.08 NTU. The highest turbidity reading of 40.80 NTU was recorded at Site
EN14A and the lowest measurement of 0.29 NTU was documented at Site BA34. Graph 4-
3 presents the results of turbidity measurements at all sites.
Conductivity values indicate the total concentration of ions in an aquatic system and the
ability of water to conduct electricity. This parameter can be used to assess the mineral
content of water or to help determine the presence of dissolved pollutants. Conductivity
readings ranged from 1,100 to 15,790 μmhos/cm, with an average of 4,931 μmhos/cm and
a median of 4,305 μmhos/cm. The highest conductivity measurement of 15,790 μmhos/cm
was observed at Site BV04A, while the lowest reading of 1,100 μmhos/cm was recorded at
Site AH09. 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 0.10 to 4.0 mg NH3-
N/L, with an average of 0.64 mg NH3-N/L and a median of 0.40 mg NH3-N/L. The highest
ammonia concentration, measured at 4.0 mg NH3-N/L, was observed at Site AH03, while
analysis of a sample from Site BA49 resulted in the lowest ammonia concentration of 0.10
mg NH3-N/L. Graph 4-5 shows the results of the ammonia analyses at all sampling
locations.
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 below the
method detection limit to 2.0 mg/L, with an average of 0.45 mg/L and a median of 0.25
mg/L. The highest detergent concentration of 2.0 mg/L was measured at Sites AH12 and
BV16. Detergent was below the method detection limit at Site BA49. 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
0.1 to greater than 40 mg NO3-N/L, with an average of 7.3 mg NO3-N/L and a median of
1.5 mg NO3-N/L. The highest nitrate concentration of greater than 40 mg NO3-N/L was
observed at Sites AH13 and EN02C. The lowest concentration of nitrate at 0.1 mg NO3-N/L
was found at five 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
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 29
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 0.98 mg PO4-P/L, with an average of 0.29 mg PO4-P/L and a median of
0.16 mg PO4-P/L. The highest concentration of reactive phosphorus of 0.98 mg PO4-P/L
was found at Sites AH03, AH18 and BA02. Reactive phosphorus was found below the
method detection limit at five of the sites. Graph 4-8 illustrates the results of reactive

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.
Because oil and grease are not soluble in water, they form a film on the water’s surface,
resulting in visual pollution and offensive odors. When birds and other aquatic organisms
become coated in oil and grease, their respiration and/or thermoregulation can be
adversely impaired. Oil and grease measurements ranged from below the laboratory
detection limit of 1 mg/L to 5 mg/L, with an average of 2.8 mg/L and a median of 2.0 mg/L.
The highest concentration of 5 mg/L was found at Site AH03. Eleven of the sites had no
detectable oil and grease concentrations.
Total hardness is analyzed in order to provide a more complete physical characterization
of a water body, as it measures the amount of calcium and magnesium ions in a water
sample with results expressed in mg/L of CaCO3. Total hardness can be used as an
environmental index to indicate the toxic effects of metals on fish, as it helps to prevent
lead, arsenic, cadmium, and other metals from being absorbed into their bloodstream
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 34
through their gills. Total hardness values ranged from 365 to 2960 mg/L CaCO3, with an
average of 1263 mg/L and a median of 1070 mg/L CaCO3. The highest total hardness
value of 2960 mg/L was observed at Site AH46 and the lowest value of 365 mg/L CaCO3 was found at Site BV02.
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. Certain dissolved metals are
regarded as toxic pollutants that are hazardous to the survival and development of aquatic
organisms including fish and waterfowl. The laboratory samples collected were analyzed
for the presence of dissolved copper, zinc, cadmium and lead. Dissolved copper
concentrations ranged from below the laboratory detection limit of 0.005 mg/L to 0.014
mg/L, with an average of 0.008 mg/L and a median of 0.006 mg/L. The highest copper
concentration of 0.014 mg/L was detected at Site BA06. Dissolved zinc concentrations
ranged from below the laboratory detection limit of 0.020 mg/L to 0.061 mg/L, with an
average of 0.034 mg/L and a median of 0.031 mg/L. The highest zinc concentration of
0.061 mg/L was found at Site BA13. Dissolved cadmium was detected at one of the sites,
Site AH24, with a concentration of 0.046 mg/L. Dissolved lead was not detected at any of
the sites.
Using the California Toxics Rule (1-hour) for Dissolved Metals in Fresh Waters, which
defines metal toxicity as a function of water hardness, a water sample with a hardness
value of 360 mg/L CaCO3 should not have copper and zinc concentrations exceeding 0.045
mg/L and 0.347 mg/L, respectively. The lower the hardness value, the lower the action
level for a particular metal. The value of 365 mg/L CaCO3 is the lowest hardness value
measured at all fifteen sites. Thus, the copper and zinc concentrations detected at the
sites, which are all below 0.045 mg/L and 0.347 mg/L, respectively, are not considered an
impairment of water quality. The site where cadmium was detected had a hardness value
of 1,520 mg/L CaCO3. According to the California Toxic Rule, a water sample with
hardness of 1,000 mg/L CaCO3 must have a cadmium concentration lower than 0.051
mg/L. Since the cadmium concentration detected at Site AH24 was below 0.051 mg/L,
cadmium levels at this site are also not considered an impairment of the water quality.
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. Diazinon measurements ranged from below the
laboratory detection limit of 0.05 μg/L to 0.33 μg/L, with an average of 0.17 μg/L and a
median of 0.12 μg/L. The highest concentration of 0.33 μg/L was found at Site BA13.
Twelve sites had diazinon concentrations below the laboratory detection level. Chlorpyrifos
was detected only at one of sites, Site BA06, with a concentration of 0.55 μg/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
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 5,000 to greater than 160,000 MPN/100ml, with an average of 80,267 MPN/100ml and
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 35
a median of 90,000 MPN/100ml. The highest concentration of greater than 160,000
MPN/100ml was found at four of the sites, Sites BA06, BA13, BA36 and BA40.
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 3,000 to greater than 160,000 MPN/100ml with
an average of 68,333 MPN/100ml and a median of 50,000 MPN/100ml. Site BA13 had the
highest fecal coliform concentration of greater than 160,000 MPN/100ml.
Enterococcus counts ranged from below the laboratory detection level of 20 MPN/100ml to
90,000 MPN/100ml with an average of 7,289 MPN/100ml and a median of 230 MPN/100ml.
Site BA13 had the highest concentration of 90,000 MPN/100ml.

6 DATA ANALYSIS
Based on the visual observations and the field and laboratory analytical testing
conducted during this program, the following sites demonstrated physical and chemical
evidence of possible illegal discharge and/or illicit connections.
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 1-14). Field -
analysis at this site initially showed an ammonia concentration of 4.0 mg NH3-N/L, but
the ammonia concentration dropped to 0.2 mg NH3-N/L on the follow-up visit. Flow rate
during the initial visit was 7.5 gpm, but dropped to 5.0 gpm on the second visit.
Laboratory analysis of a water sample collected at this site indicated that the total
coliform bacteria count was 90,000 MPN/100ml and fecal coliform bacteria was 50,000
MPN/100ml. Both bacterial concentrations exceeded the established action levels
(Table 3-3). Further investigation should be conducted at this site to determine the
source of the elevated total and fecal coliform concentrations from this outlet.
On the initial site visit, the flow to this site was traced upstream to a manhole located
alongside the railroad tracks to the north of the site. Flow in this manhole was observed
coming from both the north and the east directions. The field crew was able to collect a
sample of water from the eastern flow and test it for ammonia. The ammonia
concentration measured 4.5 mg NH3-N/L from this sample. The field crew traced this
water to a catch basin and manhole located between Harbor Drive and the railroad
tracks where water was observed running in an easterly direction. A water sample from
the street surface was collected on the south end of Harbor Drive along the sidewalk.
This sample was tested for ammonia and had a concentration of 2.0 mg NH3-N/L. The
source of this water was runoff from residential lawns along this street. Water flow
along the sidewalks was also observed on Chinquapin Avenue, Linmar Lane, and other
streets in this neighborhood. It is likely that the source of ammonia to Site AH03 is
irrigation runoff from lawns located in the residential area northeast of the site. On the
follow-up visit to this site, the field crew again opened the manhole just upstream of the
site and this time observed no flow coming from the east. Water from the north was
tested for ammonia and had a concentration of 0.2 mg NH3-N/L.
Site AH08
Site AH08 is a 96-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) outfall flowing to an
earthen channel, located within Encinas Power Plant, east of the plant tower (photo 1-
16). During two consecutive site visits, nitrate levels were measured both times at 20.0
mg NO3-N/L. Laboratory analysis of a water sample collected at this site indicated that
the total coliform bacteria count was 90,000 MPN/100ml and the fecal coliform bacterial
count was 50,000 MPN/100ml.
In an upstream investigation of this site, the field crew examined an area near Cannon
Road, between El Arbol Drive and the railroad tracks. A sample of water was collected
from Cannon Lake to the south of Cannon Road to determine if this was the source of
high nitrate to the site. The nitrate concentration of this lake water was below the
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 40
method detection limit. A manhole on Cannon Road was opened that would supply
water from the east to Site AH08. This pipe was found to have very little water and the
water appeared ponded. It is uncertain where the high nitrate levels to the site are
originating. The conveyance map shows two connections, one from the lake and one
from the east to Site AH08 and yet neither can be the source at this time for the high
nitrate levels observed at the site. Further investigation will be required at the site to
determine the source of this high nitrate and the source of the high bacterial counts.
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 (photo 1-19). The water that enters these RCPs
represents a combination of flows that are conveyed via two channels: one is an
earthen channel that runs east/west, crossing under Avenida Encinas and Interstate 5.
This channel conveys runoff from Sites AH11, AH12, and AH13 and is the primary
source of water to site AH10. The other channel is concrete and runs north/south along
the west side of 5600 Avenida Encinas (Encinitas Growers Supply), just east of the
railroad tracks. This channel supplies less than 1.0 gpm to the site. A large amount of
trash was observed in this concrete channel and water in parts of the channel was
bright red, likely the result of dyes used on the flowers at the Encinitas Growers Supply
facility. Nitrate concentrations during initial and follow-up visits at Site AH10 were 36.0
and 32.0 mg NO3-N/L, respectively.
During the follow-up visit, nitrate was tested in flows coming from the earthen channel
and the concrete channel. Nitrate was measured at 0.1 mg NO3-N/L in a sample from
the concrete channel, while a sample collected from the earthen channel resulted in a
nitrate concentration at 32.0 mg NO3-N/L. Because the water supplied to this earthen
channel is a combination of flows from several upstream sites (including AH11, AH12,
and AH13; see below), it was determined that the source of elevated nitrate
concentrations at this site is likely runoff from both Sites AH12 and AH13. A portion of
each of these flows originates from flower fields (located just east of the Carlsbad
Company Stores).
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 3-4). This outfall drains
into the mainline concrete channel located east of the Interstate-5 Freeway. On both
visits to this site the water was ponded. Ammonia measured during the initial site visit
was 2.0 mg NH3-N/L and during the follow-up visit was 1.5 mg NH3-N/L.
Upstream of the site, a manhole located at the intersection of Paseo del Norte and an
unnamed street to the east located between the Honda and Chrysler dealerships was
opened and the water tested for ammonia. This water appeared ponded and the
ammonia concentration was found to be 0.4 mg NH3-N/L. Water was also observed
ponded alongside the sidewalk of Paseo del Norte to the north of this manhole all the
way up to Cannon Road. The source of this water is from dealerships along this street,
however all dealership parking lots appeared dry at the time of this visit. During the
2002 upstream investigation at this site it was determined that the source of the
ammonia at Site AH11 was coming from the dealerships in Car Country Carlsbad, likely
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 41
from cleaning products such as glass cleaner that are frequently used on the vehicles
and washed onto the parking lot when rinsing off the vehicles. It is likely this is the
same source of ammonia to Site AH11 during this 2003 dry weather monitoring.
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 3-5). This site had a dusty sheen observed on the
water surface and had nitrate concentrations of 32.0 mg NO3-N/L during each of two
site visits. Detergents were also measured high at this site with a concentration of 2.0
mg/L on the initial site visit and a concentration of 1.5 mg/L on the follow-up visit.
In an upstream investigation for this site, water was traced upstream to a manhole
located within the landscaping between the Hoehn Honda and Bob Baker Jeep
dealerships on Car Country Drive, near the Jeep/Subaru service entrance. In this
manhole, the field crew observed two water sources. One source coming from the
southeast, in the direction of the Carlsbad Company Stores and flower fields, had a flow
of nearly half a gallon per minute. The other source from the north also had a flow of
approximately half a gallon per minute and this pipe runs behind the Jeep, Mitsubishi,
Mercedes Benz, and other dealerships on Car Country Drive. Each of these flows was
tested for nitrate. Water from the southeast pipe had a nitrate concentration of 32.0 mg
NO3-N/L, while water from the north pipe had a low nitrate concentration of 0.6 mg NO3-
N/L. The source of high nitrate is likely from the same source as Site AH13 (see below)
where some irrigation water applied to the flower fields is likely infiltrating through the
soil and carrying nitrate from the fertilizers applied to the fields to site AH12.
This site has also demonstrated consistently high levels of detergents in the past.
Upstream source investigations of Site AH12 performed in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002
have indicated that a source of water and detergents to this site originates from catch
basins that drain water from car washing activities performed daily at the Jeep and
Mitsubishi dealerships. Water from these catch basins make up the northerly flow
observed in the manhole near the Jeep/Subaru service entrance. Car washing at both
of these dealerships was occurring at the time of this upstream investigation. Water
was collected from the parking lot near one of these catch basins and measured for
detergents. The concentration was greater than 3.0 mg/L.
Site AH13
Site AH13 consists of two 48-inch diameter RCPs flowing to a concrete channel,
located west of Paseo Del Norte and approximately 250 feet north of the Holiday Inn
(Photo 3-6). This site had nitrate levels exceeding 40.0 mg NO3-N/L during two site
visits. A dusty sheen was observed covering part of the water surface.
In an upstream investigation of this site, water was observed in a catch basin located
directly across Paseo Del Norte in the Carlsbad Company Stores parking lot, just
upstream of the site. The flow in this catch basin was approximately the same as
observed at the site, near 36 gpm. The field crew then traveled further upstream to a
catch basin located directly behind (east) of the Carlsbad Company Stores and to the
west of the flower fields. Here, the same flow found further downstream was observed
and field analysis on a water sample from this catch basin resulted in a nitrate
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 42
concentration exceeding 40 mg NO3-N/L. Fertilizer runoff from the flower fields is likely
contributing to the high nitrate concentrations observed at this site.
Site AH27
Site AH27 is a concrete channel located on the north side of Tamarack Avenue
between Pontiac Avenue and La Portalada Drive (photo 2-14). The ammonia
concentration initially measured at this site was 1.5 mg NH3-N/L, but dropped to 1.0 mg
NH3-N/L on the return visit. Flow at this site was initially measured at 7.5 gpm, but
dropped to 1.0 gpm on the following visit.
Upstream of this site, water comes predominately from residential irrigation runoff in the
Tamarack Point residential community to the north of the site. The water runoff is
collected in catch basins within this neighborhood and then the flows converge together
in a manhole located near the intersection of Pontiac Drive and Southampton Road.
Flow to this manhole is then diverted to a natural vegetated desilting basin located to
the north of the Tamarack Avenue and Pontiac Drive intersection. A standpipe in the
basin catches overflow and diverts this water to a concrete pipe that spills into the
concrete channel just upstream of Site AH27.
Water samples were collected from two manholes in the neighborhood and tested for
ammonia. The first manhole was the one mentioned above where the flows from the
neighborhood converge together. Flows in this manhole were observed coming from
the north and the east. The northerly flow had an ammonia concentration of 0.2 mg
NH3-N/L. To collect the easterly flow the field crew opened a manhole located on
Southampton Road, east of Pontiac Avenue and the ammonia concentration in this
water sample was also 0.2 mg NH3-N/L. While the irrigation runoff from the
neighborhood appears to have low ammonia concentrations, it is possible that the high
ammonia could be coming from decomposing organic material such as vegetation in the
desilting basin or an additional water source not found at this time. Further investigation
is required to determine a significant source of ammonia.
Site AH31
Site AH31 is a 48-inch diameter RCP flowing to an earthen channel, located south of
Chestnut Street and east of Sierra Morena Avenue (photo 1-13). Extensive trash was
observed in the general site area. An ammonia concentration of 1.5 mg NH3-N/L was
detected during the initial site visit, but dropped to 1.0 mg NH3-N/L on the second visit.
Water flow was near 1.0 gpm on the initial visit, but on the follow-up visit appeared
ponded. It is likely that the higher ammonia concentration found on the initial visit was a
transient flow at this site. Residential lawn runoff and decomposing trash and organic
debris in the conveyance system upstream of the site are potential sources for the
ammonia. Further investigation is required to more precisely determine the source of
ammonia at this site.
Site AH45
Site AH45 consists of an 84-inch RCP located near Aston Ave, behind building No.1812
(Acushnet Company), north east of the pond (photo 1-11)). This RCP empties into a
large and highly vegetated pond. Laboratory analysis of a water sample collected from
this site found both total and fecal coliform bacterial counts at 160,000 MPN/100ml,
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 43
which are both significantly above the established action levels. Potential sources of
the bacteria were not identified at the time of sampling, thus further investigation is
required.
Site BA06
Site BA06 is a manhole located on the east side of Batiquitos Drive, midway between
Pointsettia Lane and Daisy Avenue (photo 2-22). This site is located downstream of
site BA04 and the water source is from a residential area to the east of the site. Inside
the manhole sediment and dry leaves were observed. Flow on this initial visit to the site
was near 2.0 gpm, but dropped on the second visit to 1.0 gpm. During initial and follow-
up site visits conductivity was measured at 5,250 μmhos/cm and 5,730 μmhos/cm,
respectively. Laboratory analysis of a water sample from this site detected chlorpyrifos
at a concentration of 0.55 μg/L. Bacterial analysis resulted in total coliform counts
exceeding 160,000 MPN/100ml and fecal coliform counts at 160,000 MPN/100ml.
Further investigation is necessary to determine the sources of total and fecal coliform
bacteria, along with chlorpyrifos at this site.
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 (Photo 2-5). Conductivity
measured 6,810 μmhos/cm on the initial visit and 6,540 μmhos/cm on the return visit. A
laboratory sample collected at this site resulted in levels of total and fecal coliform
bacteria greater than 160,000 MPN/100ml and enterococcus was measured at 90,000
MPN/100ml. All three bacterial measurements exceeded their established action levels
(Table 3-3). During the 2002 Dry Weather Follow-up investigation, it was determined
that water to this site comes mainly from residential areas to the north and is primarily
lawn irrigation runoff. A substantial bacterial contribution was found to come from the
residential area surrounding the Plaza Paseo Real shopping center during this follow-up
investigation. It is likely that this area is the same source of bacteria to the site during
this 2003 Dry Weather Monitoring Program.
Site BA36
Site BA36 is a 48-inch RCP located in the SE corner of the La Costa Golf Course,
behind 7525 Gibraltar Street and near the Round Tree Apartments (photo 2-11). White
bubbles were observed floating on the water surface on two consecutive visits to this
site. Conductivities for initial and follow-up visits were measured at 8,620 μmhos/cm
and 8,140 μmhos/cm, respectively. Bacterial analysis resulted in total coliform counts
exceeding 160,000 MPN/100ml and fecal coliform counts at 160,000 MPN/100ml.
Potential sources for the elevated conductivity and bacteria levels were not identified at
the time of sampling, thus further investigation is required.
Site BA40
Site BA40 consists of a 72-inch RCP that drains into San Marcos Creek and is located
30 feet southwest of the Melrose Drive and Rancho Santa Fe Road intersection (photo
2-7). The mainline pipe to this site runs directly under Melrose Drive, with two
connections on the west side that convey runoff from the adjacent residential areas.
Bacterial analysis at this site showed elevated counts of total coliform and fecal
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 44
coliform. Total coliform levels exceeded 160,000 MPN/100ml, while fecal coliform
levels were recorded at 160,000 MPN/100ml. During the 2002 Dry Weather Follow-Up
Investigation it was concluded that water to this site comes from residential irrigation
runoff and that the elevated bacterial levels may be originating from pet waste. This is
likely the same source of bacteria to this site during this 2003 dry weather monitoring
program.
Site BA47
Site BA47 is a manhole, located on Camino Alvaro, west of Rancho Santa Fe
Boulevard (photo 4-5). Upstream of this site a manhole, located across from Corte
Pedro on Camino Alvaro, was opened and three sources of flow were observed: one
from the southwest, one from the north along Camino Alvaro and one from the
northeast. While measurements taken on the combined flows from the southwest and
north directions indicated no problems for any of the field constituents, the water tested
coming from the northeast had both low pH and high conductivity readings. The pH for
this water sample was 5.6 and the conductivity was 13,970 μmhos/cm. A pH
measurement made on this northeast flow during the 2002 dry weather monitoring
indicated a pH of around 4.0. An upstream investigation of the northeast flow is
necessary to determine the source of the high conductivity and 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 1-8). This site conveys runoff from areas along State Street
and Laguna Drive and drains into Buena Vista Lagoon. Bacterial analyses at this site
showed elevated total coliform concentrations of greater than 160,000 MPN/100ml and
fecal coliform concentrations at 90,000 MPN/100ml, both significantly above their
established action levels. During August of 2002, the City personnel conducted
investigations at this site 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 3-2). A water sample was collected from this outfall pipe during two site
visits, each during a low tide period and when flow from the pipe was approximately 1.0
gpm. On the initial visit to the site conductivity measured 15,790 μmhos/cm and the
nitrate concentration was 28.0 NO3-N/L. On the second site visit conductivity was
15,740 μmhos/cm and nitrate measured 24.0 NO3-N/L.
Upstream of Site BV04A is a manhole on Jefferson Street, approximately 20 feet east of
the outfall pipe. A flow of approximately 1.0 gpm was observed in this manhole with
flow coming from the southeast. Directly across Jefferson Street, to the southeast,
there was another curb inlet and manhole and upon inspection it was found to be dry.
Conveyance maps indicate that the pipe is only as long as the width of the street,
starting at the curb inlet on the southeast side of Jefferson Street and ending at the
outfall in the lagoon to the northwest. In the concrete pipe under Jefferson Street water
was observed bubbling up through a joint in the pipe at a point directly under the center
of the north lane of Jefferson Street. This flow is likely groundwater and the elevated
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 45
nitrate levels are either natural or a result of activities in the surrounding area that cause
nutrient-laden water to infiltrate into the groundwater.
Site BV16
Site BV16 is a manhole located at the intersection of Marron Road and Monroe Street,
across from the Olive Garden restaurant (photo 1-3). During the first site visit,
detergents were detected at 2.0 mg/L. The follow-up visit revealed a detergent
concentration of 0.25 mg/L. The flow was slightly lower at the time of the second visit at
2.0 gpm compared to a flow of 3.0 gpm at the initial visit. The lower detergent
concentration and the slower flow rate at the second visit indicate that transient flows
are a likely source of the high detergent concentration.
During the initial site visit, the field crew initiated an upstream investigation to search for
the source of the high detergent concentration. Water to this manhole comes from a
residential area located southeast of the site. The field crew found a catch basin in this
residential area located at the intersection of Forest Park Lane and Forest View Way
that had water in the bottom and was receiving water from the street overhead. A
sample of water from this catch basin was tested for detergent and had a low
concentration of 0.5 mg/L. Water on the street was observed coming from pipes along
the sidewalk draining residential lawns. No other streets in this residential area had any
evidence of car washing occurring; however, this is likely the source for the high
detergent levels observed downstream at Site BV16.
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 3-11). The site is accessed through
the Encinas Wastewater Plant. Nitrate was found to exceed 40 mg NO3-N/L upon both
initial and follow-up visits. Conductivity at the site was measured at 5,860 μmhos/cm
during the initial visit and 6,040 μmhos/cm during the follow-up visit.
During the follow-up investigation for the 2002 dry weather monitoring program it was
suggested that fertilizers applied to the vegetation in the center divider of the freeway
may be carried to the site via irrigation water. Further coordination with Caltrans is
necessary to investigate the source of water at the site, and thus make a solid
conclusion regarding the source of the nitrate.
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 3-15). The measured pH level at this site was 6.2 on the initial site visit
and 6.1 on the follow-up visit. Initial and follow-up measurements for conductivity were
6,350 μmhos/cm and 6,600 μmhos/cm, respectively. The water at this site was covered
in a thick sludge of whitish-brown foam and algae. There was styrofoam packaging
material, plastic bags and aluminum cans littering the surface of the water.
Groundwater infiltration may be the cause of the conductivity and low pH levels
measured at this site. This site is located downstream of site EN14 that had both higher
conductivity values and pH levels than this site. An investigation of the storm water
conveyance system at this site will be necessary to determine the source of the low pH.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 46
Site EN21
Site EN21 is a manhole located on Camino Vida Roble, midway between Owens
Avenue and Palomar Airport Road (photo 3-16). Water in this manhole was observed
to have a dusty sheen on the surface along with a few bubbles. During the initial visit to
this site, conductivity was measured at 6,210 μmhos/cm. On the follow-up visit to the
site, conductivity was nearly the same at 6,200 μmhos/cm, but the pH had dropped to
6.4 from the initial site measurement of 6.7. Field screening during previous years has
revealed low pH measurements at this site. Measurements of pH during the 2002 dry
weather monitoring program were 5.6 and 6.0 on two consecutive visits. Further
investigation is required to determine the source of low pH.
Site EN23
Site EN23 is a 24-inch diameter RCP that drains into an open channel located
northwest of the intersection of Yarrow Drive and Camino Vida Roble (photo 3-26).
Bubbles and white foam were observed floating on the water surface at this site. Initial
field analysis resulted in a pH measurement of 6.0, a conductivity measurement of
9,420 μmhos/cm and an ammonia concentration of 3.5 mg NH3-N/L. During a follow-up
visit, the pH remained at 6.0, conductivity was 8,430 μmhos/cm and ammonia
measured 3.0 mg NH3N-L.
Upstream of the site, at a manhole located near 6211 Yarrow Drive, an ammonia
concentration of 3.0 NH3-N/L was found. All water in this manhole was coming from the
north. Tracing this water further upstream to a catch basin located on Yarrow Drive, a
water sample was collected and revealed a pH of 5.8 and a conductivity of 9,290
μmhos/cm. This catch basin was collecting water from a commercial area to the west
located on top of a large landscaped slope. Irrigation overflow containing fertilizers may
be the source of ammonia to the storm system, while groundwater infiltration may be
the source of the low pH water and the high conductivities. Further investigation is
required.
Additional Sites
Twenty-two of the sites visited during the 2003 dry weather monitoring had elevated
conductivities levels, above 5000 μmhos/cm. These elevated conductivities may
indicate an illicit connection or discharge, however they may also be the result of
groundwater seepage. Sites BA06, BA13, BA36, BA47, BV04A, EN02C, EN14A, EN21
and EN23 that had other constituents above the action level in addition to elevated
conductivity levels have already been discussed above. The thirteen sites that had only
elevated conductivities are summarized below.
Site AH24 is a concrete channel located at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Park
Drive (photo 2-1). This site had a conductivity of 5,430 μmhos/cm on the initial visit and
a conductivity of 5,780 μmhos/cm on the follow-up visit.
Site AH46 is a 60-inch diameter RCP located north of the horse stable on Sunny Creek
Road (photo 1-12). Initial and follow-up visits to this site had conductivities measured at
8,530 and 8,790 μmhos/cm, respectively. The field crew investigated two manholes
upstream of this site. The first manhole checked was located in the northeast corner of
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 47
the intersection of Sunny Creek Road and College Boulevard. Water flow in this
manhole was coming from the east and the conductivity was measured at 1,540
μmhos/cm. A second manhole located on the west side of College Boulevard, south of
El Camino Real was opened and tested for conductivity. The conductivity in this
manhole measured 4,180 μmhos/cm. Flow from this manhole was from the south. The
field crew was unable to locate the source of high conductivity at this time.
Site AH59 consists of a 48-inch diameter RCP located in a sedimentation basin,
approximately 1,200 feet north of El Fuerte Street (photo 2-25). On the initial visit to
this site conductivity measured 10,830 μmhos/cm and the follow-up visit had a
conductivity of 10,730 μmhos/cm. According to the drainage map for Carlsbad this site
appears to be downstream of Site AH61, which also had high conductivity
measurements (see below).
Site AH61 is a manhole located northeast of 2875 Loker Avenue (photo 2-23). The
water had a flow of less than one gpm during both visits and flow was coming from the
east and heading to the north. Conductivity measurements, during initial and follow-up
visits, were 12,030 μmhos/cm and 12,290 μmhos/cm, respectively.
Site BA03 consists of a 72-inch diameter RCP located at the end of Gabbiano Lane on
the Batiquitos Lagoon Trail (photo 3-22). On the initial site visit conductivity measured
5,830 μmhos/cm, while on the follow-up site visit conductivity was found below the
action level at 4,340 μmhos/cm. On both visits the site appeared ponded, however, it is
likely that water is slowly flowing from the site out to the lagoon and the higher
conductivity was the result of a transient flow.
Site BA26 is a catch basin located between 2526 and 2532 Unicornio Street (photo 4-
1). There were two water sources to this site with the main water flow coming from the
east and a smaller flow coming from the south. Conductivity measured 6,460 μmhos/cm
at the initial site visit and 6,380 μmhos/cm during the second visit.
Site BA34 consists of a 48-inch diameter RCP located south of Vista Mariana, in the La
Costa Golf Course (photo 4-2). A conductivity of 5,570 μmhos/cm was measured
during an initial site visit, and a follow-up visit resulted in a conductivity measurement of
6,880 μmhos/cm. Flow to this site comes from two sources. The main flow comes from
a residential area upslope of the site. The other source is the landscaped slope
between the residential area and the golf course. Halfway down this slope is a concrete
open channel that collects irrigation runoff from the plantings on the slope and feeds it
into a drain that connects to the main water flow to the site outlet. Water was observed
seeping from the landscaped slope into the concrete channel.
Site BA51 consists of three 84-inch RCPs located east of El Camino Real, between
2035 and 2053 Alga Road (photo 2-9). Conductivity on the initial visit measured 5,740
μmhos/cm, but rose to 6,980 on the follow-up visit to this site. Flow remained the same
between these visits.
Site BV09 is a manhole located on the center divider approximately 50 yards north of
the El Camino Real and Carlsbad Village Drive intersection (photo 1-4). On the initial
site visit conductivity measured 5,340 μmhos/cm, while on the follow-up site visit
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 48
conductivity was found at 4,900 μmhos/cm. This site is located downstream of Site
BV10 (see below).
Site BV10 consists of an 18-inch corregated metal pipe (CMP) located at the southwest
corner of the Carlsbad Village Drive and El Camino Real intersection (photo 1-5).
Conductivity measured 5,410 μmhos/cm on the initial visit to this site and dropped to
4,940 μmhos/cm on the second site visit. This site is upstream of Site BV09, which
shows similar results. Flow at Site BV10 was approximately 5.6 gpm during the initial
visit, but dropped to 3.0 gpm on the second visit.
An upstream investigation of this site, conducted during the follow-up visit, found that
most of the water supplied to this site comes from a stream just south of the site running
along El Camino Real. A small amount of water also feeds in from a tiny pond to the
southeast of the site. The conductivity in a sample of water from the pond measured
2,010 μmhos/cm, while a water sample from the stream had a conductivity of 5,610
μmhos/cm. This stream was traced upstream to a concrete outlet and the conductivity
of a water sample from this outfall pipe was 5,600 μmhos/cm. Upstream of this outlet,
however, the field crew found a dry inlet pipe. The field crew opened a manhole located
in the grass on the west side of El Camino Real between the dry inlet and the outlet with
flow. This manhole had a water flow of approximately 3.0 gpm and inside the manhole
light could be seen further south coming from the dry inlet hole. In this pipe water was
observed seeping in from joints in the pipe and also in the bottom of the manhole itself.
Calcium carbonate deposits were also observed on the pipe walls. Groundwater
seepage is likely the source of the high conductivities observed at Site BV10 and BV09.
Site EN09 is an earthen channel (a portion of Encinas Creek) located south of Palomar
Airport Road on Laurel Tree Road (photo 2-13). A significant amount of trash was
found in the creek such as metal rails and lumber. In the surrounding area lumber,
wooden pallets, an old metal cabinet, and paper and plastic containers were observed.
During initial and follow-up visits to the site conductivity measurements were 5,240
μmhos/cm and 5,290 μmhos/cm, respectively.
Site EN14 is a manhole located at the intersection of Palomar Oaks Way and Camino
Vida Roble, near 1911 Palomar Oaks Way (Photo 3-14). This site is located upstream
of Site EN14A. Conductivity on the initial visit measured 9,530 μmhos/cm and rose to
11,130 on the follow-up visit to this site. Flow remained the same between these visits.
Site EN31 is a manhole located ten yards north of 1925 Palomar Oaks Way, in the
canyon (photo 3-19). The water had a flow of approximately 2.0 gpm during both visits
and flow was coming from the east and heading to the west. Conductivity
measurements, during initial and follow-up visits, were 6,520 μmhos/cm and 5,930
μmhos/cm, respectively.

7 ADDITIONAL STUDY
During the 2003 dry weather monitoring program, an additional study was conducted to
evaluate the water quality of the major creeks that collect the City’s storm water. These
creeks include Aqua Hedionda Creek, Buena Vista Creek, Encinas Creek and San
Marcos Creek. Four creek sites were selected for monitoring by the City and the creek
locations are as follows:
• Agua Hedionda Creek (Site AH Creek-1) located at the intersection of El
Camino Real and Cannon Road on the north side of the bridge (photo 1-21).
• Buena Vista Creek (Site BV Creek-1) located north of the bridge on Haymar
Drive, across from the golf course (photo 1-10).
• Encinas Creek (Site EN Creek-1) located upstream of the bridge on southbound
Carlsbad Boulevard (photo 2-21).
• San Marcos Creek (Site SM Creek-1) located between La Costa Avenue and
Costa Del Mart Road, approximately 100 feet to the east of the bridge on El
Camino Real (photo 2-19).
At each of the creek sites, the field crew measured flow rates, performed visual
observations, conducted field testing, and collected water samples for laboratory
analysis as described under the field screening and laboratory analytical procedures in
Section 3. Field data sheets for the above sites are found in Appendix C.
7.1 Qualitative Observations
Creek samples were collected during partly cloudy or overcast weather conditions. All
of the creek sites had colorless water with the exception of Encinas Creek that had light
yellow water. An oily or rainbow sheen was observed covering a small section of the
water surface at Site AH Creek-1. Bubbles were observed on the water surface at Site
SM Creek-1. Site EN Creek-1 was observed with both trash and kelp floating on the
water surface. Trash was also found in the vicinity of Site AH Creek-1.
7.2 Field Analytical Results
A summary of the field analytical results for the four creek sites is discussed below.
Table 7-1 presents the results of the field analyses conducted at these sites and is
found at the end of this section.
The flow rates of the creek sites with measurable flow ranged from 524 to 673.5 gpm.
The highest flow rate was measured at Site AH Creek-1. Site EN Creek-1 was observed
ponded.
Water temperature readings ranged from 21 to 24°C. The maximum water temperature
was recorded at Site EN Creek-1 and the minimum temperature was recorded at Site
AH Creek-1.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 50
The pH values ranged from 7.2 to 8.0, with the highest pH reading observed at Site SM
Creek-1. The lowest pH of 7.2 was recorded at Site EN Creek-1 during a follow-up visit.
Turbidity measurements ranged from 0.50 to 13.19 NTU. The highest turbidity reading
of 13.19 NTU was documented at Site SM Creek-1 and the lowest measurement of
0.50 NTU was found at Site AH Creek-1.
Conductivity readings ranged from 2,680 to 6,310 μmhos/cm. The highest conductivity
measurement of 6,310 μmhos/cm was found at Site EN Creek-1, however, the
conductivity at this site dropped to 4,540 μmhos/cm on a second site visit. This site is
located just upstream of the Pacific Ocean. Seawater may occasionally enter this creek
water during a high tide or storm event and be the source of high conductivity measured
during the initial visit. The lowest conductivity reading of 2,680 μmhos/cm was recorded
at Site BV Creek-1.
Ammonia concentrations measured in the creek samples ranged from 0.20 to 0.30 mg
NH3-N/L, with the highest concentration found at Sites EN Creek-1 and SM Creek-1.
Detergent concentrations ranged from 0.13 to 0.38 mg/L. The highest detergent
concentration was measured at Site EN Creek-1 and the lowest concentration was
found at Site BV Creek-1.
Nitrate concentrations measured in the creek samples ranged from 0.1 to 0.8 mg NO3-
N/L. The highest nitrate concentration of 0.8 mg NO3-N/L was observed at Sites AH
Creek-1 and BV Creek-1.
Reactive phosphorus was found at concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 0.07 mg PO4-
P/L, with the highest concentration measured at three of the creek sites.
7.3 Laboratory Analytical Results
A summary of the laboratory analytical results for the four creek sites is discussed
below. Table 7-2 presents the results of the laboratory analyses conducted at these
sites.
Surfactants were not detected at or above the reporting limit of 0.5 mg/L at any of the
creek sites.
Oil and grease was measured above the detection level at one of the creek sites, Site
AH Creek-1, with a concentration of 3 mg/L.
Total hardness values ranged from 653 to 1270 mg/L CaCO3. The highest total
hardness value of 1270 mg/L was documented at Site EN Creek-1 and the lowest value
of 653 mg/L CaCO3 was found at Site BV Creek-1.
Metal concentrations of dissolved cadmium, lead, and zinc were below the laboratory
reporting limits at all of the creek sites. Dissolved copper concentrations were detected
at Sites EN Creek-1 and SM Creek-1, however, using the California Toxics Rule it was
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 51
determined that these copper concentrations are not considered an impairment of water
quality.
Diazinon was detected at only Site BV Creek-1 and had a concentration reaching 0.74
μg/L. Chlorpyrifos was not detected at any of the creek sites.
Total coliform counts ranged from 1,700 to 30,000 MPN/100ml for the creek sites. The
highest concentration was found at Site EN Creek-1. Fecal coliform counts ranged
from 1,700 to 30,000 MPN/100ml. Site EN-Creek-1 had the highest fecal coliform
concentration. Enterococcus counts ranged from below the laboratory detection level
of 20 MPN/100ml to 3,000 MPN/100ml. Site SM Creek-1 had the highest enterococcus
concentration.

8 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1 Summary
Among the sixty-one visited sites, fifty-four had measurable flowing water. The flow rate
ranged from less than one gallon per minute (gpm) to approximately 159 gpm. Six sites
had ponded water and one site was dry.
Measurements of pH were 6.5 or lower at four of the sites. Conductivity was measured
above 5,000 μmhos/cm at twenty-two of the sites.
An ammonia concentration of 1.0 mg NH3-N/L or higher was found at eleven of the
sites. Tests performed at all of the remaining sites indicated the presence of ammonia
at lower concentrations.
Nitrate concentrations at or above 10 mg NO3-N/L were observed at six sites, with two
of the sites having concentrations exceeding 40 mg NO3-N/L. Lower concentrations of
nitrate were detected at all of the remaining sites with ponded or flowing water.
All reactive phosphorous concentrations were below 1.0 mg PO4-P/L at the sites where
it was detected. Reactive phosphorous was not detected at five of the sites.
Detergent concentrations at or exceeding 1.0 mg/L were observed at four sites.
Laboratory analyses were conducted at fifteen of the sites and results indicated
contamination at eight of the sites. Bacterial contamination was evident at several sites.
Seven of the sites exceeded the established action level for both total and fecal
coliform, while sample results from Site BA13 exceeded the established action levels for
total coliform, fecal coliform and enterococcus.
Dissolved copper concentrations were detected at five sites, while dissolved zinc was
found at eleven of the sites, and dissolved cadmium was measured at one site. None of
the sites had dissolved lead concentration above the laboratory detection limit. All
measured metal values were found to be below the California Toxics Rule (which
measures toxicity as a function of hardness) and are therefore not considered an
impairment of water quality.
Three of the laboratory samples had detectable amounts of the organophosphate
pesticide, diazinon. However, none of these sites had diazinon concentrations that
exceeded the action level set at 0.5 μg/L. A chlorpyrifos concentration was detected at
one of the sites and exceeded the action level of 0.5 μg/L.
Four laboratory samples had detectable oil and grease concentrations, however all the
concentrations were below the action level set at 15 mg/L. Surfactants (detergents)
were not detected at any of the sites during laboratory analyses.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 54
Materials such as plastic, paper containers, aluminum cans, glass bottles, Styrofoam,
furniture, metal rails, leaves and wood debris were found at twenty-two of the visited
sites. Bubbles or foam were observed at eight of the sites. An oily sheen was
observed at one of the sites covering a small portion of the water surface, while four
sites had a dusty sheen. Sediment was noted at all but five of the sites and organic
matter in the form of decaying leaves was found at six of the sites.
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, insects, frogs, fish, crawfish and ducks.
Results of the additional study on the City’s creeks found in general low concentrations
of all constituents measured in both the field and laboratory. The exceptions to this
were the elevated diazinon concentration measured at Site BV Creek-1 and the
elevated fecal coliform counts found at Site EN Creek-1.
8.2 Recommendations
Based on the results of the year 2003 Dry Weather Field Screening Program for the
City of Carlsbad, the ensuing follow-up actions are recommended for consideration.
8.2.1 Further Investigations
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of ammonia at Sites
AH27, AH31 and EN23.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of conductivity at Sites
BA36, BA47 and EN23.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of low pH values at Sites
BA47, EN14A, EN21 and EN23.
• Conduct an upstream investigation to determine the source of the high nitrate
concentration at Site AH08.
• Conduct upstream investigations to determine the sources of bacterial
contamination at Sites AH03, AH08, AH45, BA06, BA13, BA36, BA40 and BV02.
• Conduct an upstream investigation to determine the source of chlorpyrifos at Site
BA06.
• Coordinate with Caltrans to investigate the conveyance system in the center of the
Interstate 5 Freeway upstream of Site EN02C to determine the source of nitrate to
this site. Also, obtain information about the frequency of watering and fertilization of
plantings in the center divider of the freeway.
CITY OF CARLSBAD YEAR 2003 DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM PAGE 55
8.2.2 Education
• Send educational brochures regarding storm water residential Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for lawn care or make other appropriate contact with the
residences to the north east of Site AHO3 to encourage water conservation and
explain that the overwatering of lawns can generate runoff that carries pollutants
into the storm water conveyance system.
• Educate residents living in the neighborhoods northwest of the El Camino Real and
Arenal Drive intersection and surrounding the Plaza Paseo Real shopping center,
along with residents northwest of the Melrose Drive and Rancho Santa Fe Road
intersection about cleaning up pet waste and eliminating behaviors that produce
runoff (such as over-irrigation and washing activities).
• Send educational brochures to residences located southeast of the Marron Road
and Monroe Street intersection, located upstream of Site BV16, informing residents
that using commercial carwashes reduces the potential for generating discharges
with high detergent concentrations into the storm drain system.
• Send educational materials regarding storm water BMPs to Encinitas Growers
Supply located at 5600 Avenida Encinas. Ensure that dyes used for the coloring of
flowers are not illegally being discharged into the storm water drainage system.
• Contact the auto dealerships in Car Country Carlsbad to find out exactly which
cleaning products that are used in their detailing facilities and on the lots contain
ammonia. Implement a plan to discourage the dealerships from using these
chemicals. Also, ensure that these businesses receive materials explaining that car
washing activities can result in an overflow of detergent-contaminated water to the
storm drain and that these companies are adhering to storm water BMPs.
• Contact the agency responsible for administering the fertilizing and watering
practices at the flower fields (behind the Carlsbad Company Stores). Work with this
agency to adjust their practices in order to minimize the negative impacts on storm
water from excessive nitrate pollution.
8.2.3 Inspection and Maintenance
• Establish a schedule for the routine removal of trash from Sites AH03, AH08, AH13,
AH18, AH30, AH31, AH45, BA36, BA40, BA43, BA48, BA51, BA52, BV02, BV04A,
BV06, BV15, BV16, EN02A-1, EN14A and EN09. Garbage accumulation at sites
AH18, AH31, BA48, BA52, BV02 and EN09 was particularly significant.
• Repair pipe joint upstream of the outlet at Site BV04A, underneath the north lane of
Jefferson Street, where groundwater is infiltrating.

Fecal coliform was below action levels (13,400). These sites have a history of low pH. A special investigation was conducted after the dry weather program in 1999, which specifically addressed these 2 sites. It reported that the source is most likely the groundwater flow moving from the aquifer underneath the closed Palomar Airport Landfill Unit 2. This was based on review of the landfill test wells and addtional storm drain testing. The City has tried to work with the County on this issue, and is awaiting a report promised by Candace Gibsonin January.DRY WEATHER FIELD SCREENING FOLLOW-UP RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTIONSPage 1 of 5

5MAPSJ 05/06/03 05/08/03 Resident reports drainage problem from continuous
water leaking from area located on East Pointe just
up from Palisades Drive. Please call resident to
arrange site visit. Resident has also met with Water
Conservation (CMWD) to do testing. There is a
concern in the neighborhood about mosquitos
breeding in the ponding water.
Area is all private runoff no City water at all. HOA needs to file
complaint in Civil Court not with City. (Talked to Water he told them
the same thing)
5MJP3S 05/14/03 05/22/03 Groundwater 5/14/03 2:30pm Investigated area as requested, found water
percolating through pavemetn due to groundwater. This area
needs to be referred to Engineering for a subterranean drainage
system. This problem far exceeds the responsibility of Street
Maintenance. Its an on-going issue that needs to be addressed by
Engineering Design with a CIP project. Refer to Engineering.
5MTSA4 05/23/03 05/28/03 I would like to find out how to get a problem
corrected involving street maintenance. A drainage
problem exists in front of my home. Water and an
accumulation of dirt and sludge constantly sit in a
low spot in front of my driveway. The area smells at
times, and is a breeding place for mosquitos in the
summer. How do we go about getting this problem
corrected? Thank you for your assistance.
Cleared curb and gutter of all MVD's debris. There is a "low" spot in
the concrete gutter line at the beginning of their driveway,
however, it is extremely small and the amount of water that settles
here is from neighbors irrigation. Water flow looks to be normal.
We can just stop here periodically and clean.

emp parking lot into san marcos creek area. They
have reported this before. Need to check the s/e
and s/west corner
03-03-03 10:45am Site Visit. Several erosion conrol BMPs have
been implemented throughtout the site. They probably failed
during the last rain storm because control efforts are not
permanant. Fense had ben repaired and sand bags replaced.
Complainant felft that all storm water should be retained onsite. I
explained the purpose of erosion control and that most efforts
would failed furing a heavy storm. See Photos attached.
5KAT72 03/03/03 04/15/03 States that there is erosion on a bluff above the
Agua Hedionda Lagoon, below the new condos that
were built. She states that the erosion is not due to
construction, but rather is being caused by the rain
& "natural erosion." She believes that the land/bluff
in question is City owned and would like someone to
address the erosion issue & take responsibility for it.
This problem does not fall under the perview of the storm water
program. Spoke with Streets about that problem and he stated that
the city does plan to address the situation.

5CYVG9 08/13/02 08/15/02 Complainant called requesting to speak to CM. He
wanted to complain about the litter. He said that he
met with Council and CM in January of this year to
discuss the same issue. Today he saw three men
driving golf balls into Buena Vista Lagoon trying to
hit ducks. At 3:19p.m. he phoned the police to
complain. A policewoman responded to the call and
spoke to the three men. His complaint is that the
officer did not ask the three men for ID, nor did she
issue them citations. It is his belief that if there is
no punishment for littering, it will continue.
PD contacted CM: spoke with Officer about the golfing complaint.
She responded to the call and contacted three young men in their
late teens who matched the description. She did not observe them
golfing or hitting balls into the lagoon but she observed that they
had golf equipment with them. She advised them reference
11.32.030 (24) MC "no golfing in city parks" and asked them to
leave. They were polite and cooperative and left without complaint.
The RP info in this case is "passerby" with no contact info for follow
up and no indication that anyone desired to make a citizens arrest
even if that had been warranted .

5D7KYD 08/20/02 08/20/02 Good afternoon, I wanted to forward the digital
photos of the employee/s dumping dirt and rocks
into a Federally protected lands directly to the East
of the City water pumping station. The photo depicts
a person in a gray Toyota pick up truck that on two
different trips dumped with the help of two on-duty
city employees. My first reaction was to laugh then
get angry calling the police non-emergency and
having to demand an officer be dispatched rather
then being transferred to the department the
dispatcher thought responsible. I then called your
office after 45 minutes and your support staff
contacted the watch commander directly. It's my
understanding that a report has been taken by
Officer Ernst and the employees information can be
made available from the Police Department. I'd like
to see the employee fired. I know that won't happen
so I would expect that he would at least be
disciplined and that I be informed of what corrective
action will take place. Please feel free to contact me
directly, If needed I will sign a formal complaint with
the Police Department.
Called C/B PD. watch commander about this issue, was told by PD
that it was not Streets employee involved and that their Supervisor
has been contacted. (Water Dept.)

5MGMCK 05/12/03 05/12/03 Near the intersection of Park and Bayshore, there is
a slope where the vegetation appears to not be
holding the slope. As a result you can see piles of
sand along the sidewalk. This sand eventually ends
up in the storm drains and into the Agua Hedionda
watershed nearby. I would suggest planting the
slope in native plants to hold the slope better. Either
way, something needs to be done to keep that
excess sediment out of our watershed.
Slope is not City property. Maybe, the citizen can plant hillside. We
remove sand before it gets to the watershed. (Stormwater will E-
mail Complainant)

Only Rain in the Storm Drain!
Storm Water Protection...
It‛s OUR Business!
Did You Know…
The primary purpose of storm drains is to carry rain water
away from developed areas to prevent flooding. Storm
drains are not connected to sanitary sewer systems and
treatment plants. Untreated storm water and the
pollutants it carries flow directly to creeks, lagoons and the
ocean.
Storm water pollution comes from a variety of sources
including:
• Oil, fuel and fluids from
vehicles and heavy
equipment
• Lawn clippings, pesticide
and fertilizer runoff from
landscaping
• Sediment and
concrete from
construction and
landscaping activities
• Bacteria from human and animal waste
• Litter
The City of Carlsbad is committed to improving water
quality and reducing the amount of pollutants that enter
our precious waterways.
Why do we need a clean environment?
Having a clean environment is of primary importance for
our health and economy. Clean waterways provide
commercial opportunities, recreation, fish habitat and
add beauty to our
landscape. All of us
benefit from clean
water – and all of us
have a role in making
and keeping our
creeks, lagoons and
ocean clean.
EVERYONE is responsible for protecting storm water!
Storm Water pollution prevention is a shared duty between
the City of Carlsbad and the Community. Storm drains on
public property are monitored and cleaned by the City.
Everyone has a part to play in keeping our storm drains free
of pollutants. Methods used to prevent storm water pollution
are called Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Help keep our creeks, lagoons and ocean clean!
Below are some BMPs you can use at home.
Sweep or Rake
• Sweep up debris and put it in a trash can.
Do not use a hose to wash off sidewalks,
parking areas and garages. Rake up
yard waste and start a compost pile.
Reduce Use of Landscape Chemicals
• Minimize the use of lawn and garden care products
such as pesticides, insecticides, weed killers, fertilizers,
herbicides and other chemicals. Avoid over-irrigation
which washes chemicals into the gutter and storm drains.
Use Soap Sparingly
• When washing your car at home, use soap sparingly,
divert washwater to landscaped areas and pour your
bucket of soapy water down the sink. Never wash your
car in the street.
Clean up After Your Pets
• Take a bag when you walk your pets and be sure to
always clean up after them. Flush pet waste down the
toilet or dispose of it in a sealed plastic bag and throw it
in the trash.
Buy Non-Toxic Products
• When possible, use non-toxic products for household
cleaning. If you must use a toxic cleaning product, buy
small quantities, use it sparingly and properly dispose of
unused portions. For the Household Hazardous Waste
collection facility nearest you, call 1-800-CLEANUP.
Be Part of the Pollution Solution!
Storm Water Hotline: 760-602-2799
How do I report a storm water violation?
The Storm Water Program operates a hotline and an e-mail
address to receive referrals about storm water pollution and
illegal discharges and to answer questions about storm water
pollution prevention.
If you see someone dumping or washing waste or pollutants
to the street or storm drain, please call the hotline at 602-
2799 or send an email to stormwater@ci.carlsbad.ca.us.
This information is entered into the City’s Request for Action
system and is routed to the appropriate person for response.
Where can I get more information?
• Visit the City’s website at www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us/
cserv/storm.html to view brochures, documents or link
to other water quality websites.
• Call the hotline at 602-2799 to have information sent
to you.
• To view a copy of the Permit, please go to
http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/programs/
sd_stormwater.html.
What is the City doing to keep our waterways clean?
Significant efforts are being made by City departments to
help keep our waterways clean. A few program activities
are listed below:
• Educating the public and City employees about storm
water pollution prevention through our website,
brochures, publications, workshops and public events
• Inspecting construction sites to ensure that developers are
implementing Best Management Practices
• Implementing Best Management Practices at City facilities
• Conducting industrial and commercial inspections to
ensure businesses are aware of and complying with the
storm water program requirements
• Addressing storm water requirements for new
development and significant redevelopment
• Conducting water quality monitoring in the storm drain
system and in our creeks, lagoons and ocean
• Investigating reports of illegal discharges
• Implementing a Watershed Urban Runoff Management
Plan (WURMP) with the County and other North County
cities to protect all of our waterways
What is the Storm Water Program?
The City is regulated by a municipal storm water permit
that was issued by the State Water Resources Control
Board. The City’s Storm Water Program helps to ensure
compliance with the permit by:
• Inspecting Carlsbad
businesses and requiring
BMPs to prevent pollution
• Investigating and eliminating
illegal discharges to the storm
water system
• Overseeing and conducting
water quality monitoring
programs
• Educating the public about
ways to prevent storm water
pollution
Are all discharges to the storm drain illegal?
In the strictest definition, only rain water can legally enter
the storm drain. However, the permit currently allows
some types of discharges into storm drains when BMPs
are used to reduce pollutants. Some examples include:
• Landscape irrigation and lawn watering runoff
• Dechlorinated pool water
• Residential car washing
• Potable water sources
• Foundation drains
• Water line flushing

Storm Water Service Delivery
THE OUTCOME
Water quality that maintains the beneficial uses of Carlsbad’s creeks and lagoons.
THE MEASUREMENT
A multi-modal approach combining:
• Water Quality
• Bacteria results
• Dissolved oxygen concentrations
• Transparency or turbidity readings
• Drainage Service Delivery
Water Quality: The City monitors storm water discharges and water quality of various creeks, lagoons
and the ocean (receiving waters) in Carlsbad as part of the Coastal Lagoon and Outfall Monitoring
program and the annual Dry Weather Program. In addition, the City participates in regional monitoring
programs that collect data on local creeks and lagoons. The receiving water results are compared to
Water Quality Objectives listed in the State’s Basin Plan, which are set by the State to be protective of
beneficial uses. Fecal coliform bacteria, dissolved oxygen and transparency or turbidity results will be
routinely monitored in Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Creek to help determine if beneficial uses are being
met. Results may also show if water quality is improving or declining over time.
Drainage Service Delivery: In addition to these sampling events, the Drainage Service Delivery index
will provide a statistical comparison of completed maintenance activities versus scheduled maintenance.
WHAT THE DATA MEAN
Water Quality: Beneficial uses are the uses of water necessary for the survival or well being of man,
plants, and wildlife. Examples include recreation, industrial and agricultural water supply and the support
of aquatic habitats. Beneficial uses for all surface and ground waters in the San Diego Region are
designated by the State in the Basin Plan (Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin, 1994).
Water Quality Objectives are defined as “the limits or levels of water quality constituents or
characteristics which are established for the reasonable protection of beneficial uses of water or the
prevention of nuisance within a specific area.” If Water Quality Objectives or other conditions aren’t
met, the State may designate a waterbody as being “impaired,” indicating that beneficial uses may not be
adequately protected, thus requiring additional costly monitoring and pollution control programs.
Agua Hedionda Lagoon is a highly used waterbody that the State has identified as being impaired by
sedimentation and bacteria. This lagoon has many designated beneficial uses including recreational,
commercial, industrial and habitat for aquatic organisms. This measure is currently focused on Agua
Hedionda Lagoon and Agua Hedionda Creek as a pilot program, and may be expanded in the future to
other lagoons and creeks in Carlsbad.
This measure determines if the numerical Water Quality Objectives for fecal coliform bacteria, dissolved
oxygen and transparency/turbidity are being met in the Lagoon and Creek. Fecal coliform bacteria
concentrations are measured as human-health related indicators of sewage pollution. Fecal coliform
levels must be met in order to protect the recreation beneficial uses (i.e., swimming, boating, fishing).
Dissolved oxygen in the water column is critical for respiration of most aquatic organisms. It is one of
the most universal indicators of overall water quality and a means of determining habitat conditions.
High dissolved oxygen concentrations represent good conditions, while low concentrations can indicate
organic pollution. A Secchi disk, transparency tube or turbidity measurement can be used to estimate the
clarity of surface waters. High transparency is indicative of clean water. Low transparency is typically
associated with degraded waters, indicating light limiting conditions which in turn affect plant growth and
the aquatic habitat. The turbidity standard applies to the creek and the transparency standard applies to the
lagoon. Meeting Water Quality Objectives for dissolved oxygen and transparency/turbidity helps
demonstrate protection of aquatic life and habitat beneficial uses.
Drainage Service Delivery: The Drainage Service Delivery index will measure the effectiveness of the
drainage system maintenance program. In FY 2002-2003 staff developed a Standards of Care program to
help evaluate the condition of public facilities. This program establishes and documents the frequency of
recommended preventive maintenance, then measures the level of accomplishment each year by
comparing percent of completed work to scheduled maintenance. The Public Works Maintenance
Management Program and work order systems are used to collect and analyze performance data.
STATUS OF THE MEASURE
This is a new measure.

Drainage Service Delivery: New measure.
ANALYSIS
Water Quality: The above numbers represent only one sampling event. Samples will continue to be
collected monthly, and it is expected that water quality conditions and results will vary seasonally.
Quality may decline in the rainy season, due to increased washing of pollutants into the storm drain
system. Increased temperatures in the summer may also adversely impact water quality. In addition,
wildlife can be a cause of high bacteria counts. Interpretation of the results must take these variables into
account, and consistently poor results that correspond to poor water quality from the storm drain system
will trigger field investigations. In the early 90’s, the State listed Agua Hedionda Lagoon as being
impaired for bacteria and sedimentation, meaning that it did not meet the Water Quality Objectives
(Benchmarks). It is expected that the benchmark will be difficult to meet continually, and it should be
noted that many factors that are not under the City’s control can affect storm water and surface water
quality.
Drainage Service Delivery: The Drainage Service Delivery index will encompass the following three
maintenance activities:
• Drainage inlets inspected annually.
• High priority inlets cleaned annually.
• All other identified basins cleaned annually.
ACTION PLAN
Water Quality:
y Continue monthly monitoring
Drainage Service Delivery:
y In conjunction with the Standards of Care program, collect data as outlined by the Drainage Service
Delivery index, and incorporate results into this measure linking storm water conveyance system
maintenance and inspection activities with water quality
Public Works
Storm Water Protection Program Customer Service and Satisfaction
THE OUTCOME
A high level of customer service and satisfaction.
THE MEASUREMENT
A multi-method approach combining:
y Complaint response statistics
y Survey results
The SuiteResponse Request for Action (RFA) system is used by the Storm Water Protection Program to
document reports of illegal washing or dumping incidents into the City’s storm drain system. When a
caller reports a potential discharge or dumping violation that is in progress, the person taking the report
creates an issue in the RFA system with a “High Priority”code. Storm Water Protection Program
personnel are notified and respond to the site. This measure focuses on the response time, which is the
time from the creation of the RFA issue to the time of the first action step, which is staff dispatch to the
site. This time will be tracked in the RFA system.
The survey measure is the results to the question in the citywide public opinion survey that asks, “Have
you seen or heard anything during the past year about how residents can prevent the pollution of our
creeks, lagoons or ocean?” If yes, the citizen is asked where they heard or saw this information.
WHAT THE DATA MEAN
The complaints portion of the measure indicates how well customer expectations are being met. The
Storm Water Protection Program has a Hotline number (602-2799) and investigates all types of reports of
illegal discharges to the City’s storm drain system, which discharges directly to our creeks, lagoons and
ocean. A person calling to report an illegal discharge that is happening now expects an immediate
response. In addition to meeting customer needs, an immediate response also minimizes the potential for
the harmful discharge to enter our waterways. Being able to catch someone in the act also provides a
better opportunity for education or enforcement to prevent repeat occurrences.
The survey question can be used to determine if the storm water protection program message is reaching
the public. Current outreach materials include the hotline number that the public can call for more
information or to report illegal discharges. Results from the survey question can be used to more
effectively direct education and outreach methods and efforts in order to provide customer service
through requests for action or information.
STATUS OF THE MEASURE
This is a new measure.
DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED
Public Works Administration and Environmental Programs
BENCHMARK
y Complaint Response: 90% of reports of washing or dumping incidents happening at the time
of the report are dispatched within 30 minutes.
y Survey Results: 90% of the public report having heard or seen messages regarding ways to
prevent water pollution.
RESULTS
Following are numbers from the first quarter of Fiscal Year 03-04 and from the Public Opinion Survey.
Complaint response:
y 66% of high priority incidents were dispatched within 30 minutes.
Survey results:
y 58% of survey respondents reported that they had heard or seen messages regarding ways to
prevent water pollution.
ANALYSIS
During the first quarter of FY 03-04, there were only six complaints that met the high priority criteria,
although two of the six issues that exceeded the 30-minute dispatch time occurred in early July before the
new procedure had been fully implemented. Tracking dispatch time required a change in the way that
information is entered into RFA. Under the new procedure, the incident must be coded “high priority”
and a code is entered in the action history at the time of dispatch. Previously, all issues had the same
priority code and the inspector updated the action history after returning to the office, which may have
been several hours after responding to an incident. Storm Water Protection Program personnel cannot
respond like a Police Officer and speed to a scene, so a 30-minute dispatch time is a high standard that is
expected to be reasonable under the current workload. Complaint response numbers will continue to be
collected during Fiscal Year 03-04.
The survey results appear appropriate for a relatively new public education program. Public education
can be a difficult process due to the different methods, materials and time needed to reach various
audiences. The survey benchmark is a very high standard and it is too early to assess whether it is
achievable with existing resources. Staff will continue to develop the education programs, reach out to
citizens in a variety of ways and evaluate the data again next year.
ACTION PLAN
y Continue to develop and implement regular education and outreach programs
y Research other surveys and statistics related to public awareness campaigns to determine if
the benchmark is appropriate
y Continue to implement and assess the new RFA procedures

Storm Water Protection Program Cost Efficiency
THE OUTCOME
Storm Water Protection Program cost efficiency.
THE MEASUREMENT
A multi-method approach combining:
y Cost per business inspected
y Cost per outfall monitored
y Outreach and education cost per capita
y Maintenance cost per mile of storm water conveyance system maintained
Staff time spent on inspection, monitoring and outreach activities is tracked in a time sheet database. The
total numbers of facilities inspected and outfalls monitored are maintained in separate spreadsheets. Cost
per business inspected is the time spent on this activity multiplied by the employee hourly rate (includes
benefits) divided by the number of businesses inspected. Monitoring costs is the time spent on this
activity multiplied by the employee hourly rate plus the laboratory costs for analyses divided by the total
number of outfalls monitored. Outreach and education cost is employee time spent on this activity
multiplied by the employee hourly rate plus printing costs and promotional materials divided by
population. Storm water conveyance system maintenance activities and costs are electronically tracked in
Hansen. This last measurement is calculated by taking the total maintenance costs divided by the total
mileage of the system that is currently maintained. Total mileage of the system currently includes the
mileage of drainageways and ditches that are regularly maintained by the City. It does not include all of
the pipelines, as this number is not available and the pipelines are not routinely cleaned.
WHAT THE DATA MEAN
The City of Carlsbad is one of 20 jurisdictions in San Diego County covered under the State issued
NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit. The NPDES permit required each
jurisdiction to implement an Urban Runoff Management Plan, which details how permit requirements
will be implemented and annually assessed. As this is still a new and evolving program, implementation
methods vary from one jurisdiction to the next. Coastal jurisdictions have more monitoring requirements
than inland jurisdictions. In addition, jurisdictions vary greatly in total land area, population and number
of businesses, which prevents meaningful comparisons of overall program costs. This measure breaks out
some of the main required program activities in order to provide unit costs for a more meaningful
comparison with other jurisdictions or contractors. Results may be used to determine how specific
program activities may be streamlined to improve cost efficiency, with consideration still being given to
quality and customer service.
Storm Water Protection Program staff annually inspect hundreds of commercial and industrial facilities in
Carlsbad that fall under the storm water regulations. Staff develops and distributes educational
information and participates in outreach events. Storm Water Protection Program staff also monitor
designated outfalls to the lagoons and ocean bi-weekly or monthly as required. Maintenance
Operations/Streets conducts maintenance activities on the storm water conveyance system, except for
street sweeping which is a contracted service.
STATUS OF THE MEASURE
This is a new measure.

To be determined.
RESULTS
Following are numbers from the first quarter of Fiscal Year 03-04. Data will continue to be collected
during Fiscal Year 03-04.
Cost per business inspected $76.20
Cost per outfall monitored $373.00
Outreach and education cost per capita $0.04
Maintenance cost per mile of storm
water conveyance system maintained
$1070.63
ANALYSIS
While this is a new measure and it may be too early to interpret these first quarter results, some
comparisons can be made. The cost per business inspected includes all office and field time and
represents 81 commercial facilities and 51 industrial site inspections. Industrial sites are typically more
complex than commercial sites, thus requiring more field and office time (individual cost of $126.09 per
inspection vs. $44.79 for commercial). For comparison, the City hired a consultant during Fiscal Year
02-03 to assist with commercial and industrial inspections. Their costs were $185 per commercial
inspection and ranged from $185 - $295 per industrial inspection. The contractor costs were significantly
more than our current in-house costs, and their services did not include any filing or data entry.
During FY 03-04, Storm Water Protection Program staff began conducting the Coastal Outfall monitoring
program in-house instead of contracting out this service. This change was the result of a Public Works
Service Plan proposal that was approved during FY 02-03. As anticipated, current in-house costs are
significantly lower than contracted costs, which were over $1,000 per outfall during FY 02-03.
The education and outreach costs shown here are currently very low, as few activities were conducted and
few materials were developed during the first quarter of the FY 03-04. In comparison, the education and
outreach costs for FY 02-03 were approximately $0.35 per capita. This first quarter number therefore is
not a good representation of the annual costs. These numbers will be tracked and a yearly cost will be
reported next year.
The first quarter maintenance costs include catch basin, drainageway and brow ditch cleaning, in addition
to structure inspection (structures include basins, inlets, headwalls, etc.). During this time, 281 catch
basins were cleaned at a cost of $55.71 per basin. Twenty-two structures were inspected at a cost of
$38.22 per structure. Brow ditch cleaning costs approximately $2.50 per lineal foot and drainageway
cleaning costs $1.93 per lineal foot. The City has been implementing a new maintenance work order
system and new inspection and cleaning procedures. These procedures will be evaluated in the coming
year in order to determine ways to increase cost effectiveness and efficiency.
ACTION PLAN
y Establish benchmark partners
y Conduct a pilot program to evaluate ways to improve catch basin cleaning efficiency

Executive Summary
In compliance with the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit, the City was tasked with developing mechanisms to provide permanent financing for
the costs to implement its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. Two years ago a City
storm water financing team (financing team), comprised of members from the Finance
Department, City Attorney’s Office and Publics Works MSA, was established to develop and
pursue viable financing alternatives. Last year the team oversaw the preparation of a Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Program Alternative Financing Mechanism Study Report. The
recommendations of the report were presented to the City Leadership Team to obtain
direction on which financing alternative to pursue.
The Leadership Team subsequently recommended a two phased financing strategy. The first
phase envisioned development of some form of utility and/or solid waste service rate
increases and the establishment of new fees for the review and inspection of construction and
business related Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP’s). The second phase of the
strategy envisions the formation of a Storm Water Utility and establishment of a new citywide
storm water utility fee.
This Regulatory and Fee Study Report was prepared by the City financing team in satisfaction
of the first phase of the Leadership Team’s strategy. After a considerable amount of research
and analysis of the alternatives, the financing team recommends adoption of a new rate
structure for the solid waste service program to recoup the majority of the Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Program costs together with establishment of a new development
processing fee to fund the review and inspection of construction related SWPPP’s.
Research done by the financing team supports a conclusion that nearly all the pollutants of
concern to the Environmental Protection Agency regarding storm water discharges are
classified as solid waste by definition found within existing State law and local ordinance.
(See Public Resources Code Section 40191; Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 6.08.010A
(6)(8)(13)(18) (22)(26)). The Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) defines “solid waste services”
as “the collection, transport, and disposal of solid waste and designated recyclables, including
yard waste, from residential, commercial, and industrial generators.” (CMC 6.08.010(23).
Therefore the costs to remove transport and dispose of such wastes is a legitimate solid waste
program expenditure recoverable though the collection of fees assessed to solid waste service
users throughout the City. Solid waste service fees can be increased by an approving City
Council resolution adopted at a duly notice public hearing (CMC 6.08.180).
Furthermore, refuse collection service fees are excluded from the voting provisions of
Proposition 218. (Ca. Const. Art. XIII C, D). Specifically, California’s Constitution, Article
XIIID, Section 6(c), excepts new or increased “fees or charges for sewer, water and refuse
collection services” from the broad voter approval requirements of this Article.

This report includes supporting facts and findings for allocating storm water pollution
prevention program activity costs between solid waste service users and non-users. Activities
involving the removal, transport and disposal of solid waste pollutants deposited on public
streets and within City rights-of-way are apportioned to solid waste service users based upon
their respective percentage of usage of the City’s public street network. This percentage was
calculated by dividing the number of lane miles required to exclusively serve the circulation
needs of local land uses by the total number of lane miles of streets within the City.
Costs for pollution prevention activities associated with City owned drainage facilities and the
general administration of the storm water program are apportioned to solid waste service users
based upon their proportionate share of the solid waste deposited within the City’s drainage
collection system. In this manner, only users of developed property, that contribute to the
storm water solid waste pollutant loading over and above normal undeveloped levels of
loading, pay their fair share of drainage facility cleanup and program administration costs.
The remaining share of facility maintenance and storm water program administrative costs
attributable to undeveloped properties will continue to be paid from the City’s General Fund
until such time as the properties develop or the City establishes a storm water utility.
After determining a fair share allocation of storm water costs attributable to solid waste
service users for each storm water program activity, it was necessary to spread the costs
between residential and commercial service users based upon their respective contribution to
the solid wastes deposited within the City’s storm drainage system. For all but one of the
applicable storm water pollution prevention program activities, the apportionment of the fair
share costs between residential and commercial service users was made using the ratio of total
annual curbside service fee revenues between residential and commercial solid waste service
customers. This ratio roughly approximates the ratio of solid waste generated by residential
and commercial service users that finds its way into the City’s storm drainage collection
system. The one storm water pollution prevention activity cost not apportioned in this manner
was for the business related SWPPP inspection program. Since the business related SWPPP
inspection program is exclusive to commercial users, 100% of the costs for this activity were
spread to commercial solid waste service users.
This methodology of allocating and spreading costs resulted in a residential user solid waste
rate increase of approximately 13.4% or $1.95 per month per residential customer. The
currently monthly charge for residential curbside service is $14.52. The increase to
commercial rate payers calculates to approximately 15.1%. To put this in more perspective, a
commercial ratepayer with two - 3 cubic yard bins emptied twice weekly would see a monthly
increase of approximately $41 from $274.38 to $315.81. The total amount of revenue
generated from the proposed rate increase to solid waste service users would be
approximately $1.3 million dollars per year. All revenues generated from the increase in solid
waste service fees recommended in this report will be placed in a specific storm water
pollution prevention fund to be used solely for the purpose of storm water pollution
prevention.
This report also presents a fee study analysis justifying imposition of a new processing fee to
fund the City’s staff review and inspection of construction related Storm Water Pollution
iii
Prevention Plans (SWPPP’s). A construction related SWPPP is an NPDES-required document
that developers submit to the City that outlines the developer’s plan to stem and prevent storm
water pollution from leaving the construction site. The report recommends establishment of
separate plan review and inspection fees for each of three different categories of development
- single family detached, multi-family attached and mobile home and, commercial/industrial.
For the two residential project categories, the proposed fee includes a base rate for the first
lot/unit with a reduced rate for subsequent lots/units. Commercial and industrial developments
will pay a uniform charge per lot. The proposed plan is to require payment of the review fee
concurrent with the initial submittal of the SWPPP for City review. The inspection fee would
be paid prior to issuance of the grading, right-of-way or building construction permit,
whichever occurs first.
The following table presents the proposed fee structure for the review and inspection of
construction-related SWPPP’s:
Proposed Fee
Plan review Inspection
Development Category Initial
Lot/Unit
Subsequent
Lot/Unit
Initial
Lot/Unit
Subsequent
Lot Unit
Single Family Detached $210 $70 $230 $120
Multi-family Attached and
Mobile Homes $210 $35 $230 $70
Commercial/Industrial $280 $280 $400 $400
Given the current development schedules, the total estimated annual revenue to be generated
from the construction related SWPPP review and inspection fee for FY 2003-04 is $72,000
and $114,000 respectively for a total of $186,000.

Regulatory Background
The City of Carlsbad is one of twenty co-permittees in San Diego County subject to National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Order No. 2001-01 (the Order) issued by
the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB). The Order was issued
under the authority of the Federal Clean Water Act and NPDES permit CAS0108758. It
requires the City to enforce federal law and the orders of the SDRWQCB to reduce pollution
that enters the waterways from developed property, whether public or privately owned.
Although the Order and the response required of the co-permittees are sometimes referred to
as the “storm water program”, it has received that name only because it is the storm drainage
system that channels the pollutants carried from the developed surfaces of public and private
property. In fact, with the exception of thermal pollution (warm water discharge) all of the
pollutants may be defined as solid waste pursuant to State and City Codes. (See Public
Resources Code Section 40191; Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 6.08.010A (6)(8)(13)(18)
(22)(26)). Therefore, prevention, reduction, removal, transport and disposal of the pollutants
found in storm water and other drainage flows can be considered part of the City’s solid waste
handling services.
Pollutants such as grass clippings, leaves, animal waste, manure, dirt, grime, ashes, brake
dust, tire shavings, trash and other debris and even liquids such as soap and cleaners are
defined as solid wastes by City Code (Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 6.08.010A
(6)(8)(13)(18) (22)(26)). Whether such pollutants are washed from the property by storm
water or potable water runoff, swept, blown or otherwise removed from a property by wind,
hand or mechanical blower or, shaken and abraded from a vehicle driving down the street,
their removal and disposal from streets and other parts of the storm drainage system are
considered an integral part of the City’s solid waste removal program.
Each user of developed property in the City is served by the City’s storm drainage system. As
used in this report the City storm drainage system includes all municipally owned and
operated storm drainage facilities including storm drain pipes, inlets, outlets, access holes,
retention, sedimentation and pollutant control basins, ditches, channels (lined and unlined)
and energy dissipaters. Also to be considered included are the public roads and other
impervious surfaces within the public right-of-way used to convey drainage flows to City
storm drains, channels, ditches and other drainage watercourses. The Clean Water Act, as
implemented by the Order, now imposes new and substantially increased requirements to
reduce pollutants entering the City’s storm drainage conveyance system. The new obligations
to the City imposed by the State and Federal government were established without provision
of any funding to meet the program costs for storm water cleanup.
City Solid Waste Service Area
The City provides refuse collection service to the users of developed property within the full
extent of the City limits (For the purposes of this report, refuse collection, trash collection and
solid waste service may be used interchangeably). The owners of undeveloped property do
not pay solid waste service fees. A regulatory fee added to the solid waste services (trash
2
collecton) bill for storm water pollution prevention activities would be paid only by those who
are using developed property, the same users that contribute pollutants to the receiving waters
via the City’s storm drainage system.
City utility (water and sewer) and solid waste service fees are billed together within a single
bill for those areas inside the City’s utility service areas. Outside the boundaries of the City’s
utility service areas, solid waste service fees are billed separately by the City’s waste
management company. Solid waste service fees are the only City service fee billed to all users
of developed property throughout the full extent of the City limits. Although, such billing is
currently split between the City and the City’s waste management company.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Activities
In compliance with the Order, the City has prepared several regulatory documents that define
the activities required by the City to meet the water quality objectives of the Clean Water Act.
There are three basic documents required by the Order, a Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
Management Program (JURMP), a Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program
(WURMP) and a Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSUMP). A brief
description of each document and its purpose can be found in the glossary at the end of this
report. The basic storm water pollution prevention activities described in and required by
these three documents are listed in Table 1.
Over the past two years the City has seen a significant rise in costs required to provide and
maintain the level of storm water pollution protection activities required by the Order. Many
of the storm water pollution prevention activities performed by the City were being carried
out prior to issuance of the Order but generally at a more reduced level than currently required
such as street sweeping and inlet cleaning. Other activities are completely new and are still
within the early implementation stage such as the preparation, review, inspection and
implementation of storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPP’s).
To better manage the increasing costs of this new program, the City established a special
revenue account for storm water protection activities within the Operating Budget. The total
costs listed in the Fiscal Year 2003-04 Budget for storm water protection activities is
$1,244,750. However, the budget figures in the special revenue account do not account costs
for all the activities listed above. Cost for some of the activities such as maintenance of the
various municipal facility SWPPP’s, inspection of construction related SWPPP’s, storm event
preparations, GIS updates and litter removal are included in other Public Works budgets. The
cost for some activities such as the inspection of business-related SWPPP’s are not fully
funded in the current budget since the program is presently in the early stages of development.
Table 2 was prepared to capture and display all of the storm water pollution prevention
activity costs regardless of budgetary location. The table headings include the activity
description, unit cost, number of units occurring in an average year, the yearly total for the
activity, current budget location by department and the current funding source for the activity.
The left hand column identifies the various activities, as described above (and in some cases
is further broken down into sub-activity categories). For most activities, the unit costs listed
3
under this heading are actual budgeted amounts. For those programs being developed, such as
the SWPPP preparation and inspection activity, the costs represent the amount estimated to
ensure compliance with the Order. The total yearly cost to perform all activities required by
the Order is $1,611,527.
An equitable method of sharing the storm water pollutant reduction costs requires users of
developed property in the City to bear a fair share allocation of the costs in reasonable
proportion to their pollutant contribution and/or benefits received. The use of developed
property, whether public or private, creates the pollution that requires cleanup imposed by the
Order. Undeveloped property generates little of the pollutants of concern and its owners
should not bear any of the fees or charges proposed in this report.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Financing Alternatives
As shown in Table 1 the city presently funds all storm water protection activities from the
General Fund. The increase in program costs over the past several years has put a strain on the
General Fund and will over time force reductions in other City services. To prevent this from
happening, new sources of program funding must be developed. In FY 2001-02, the City
commissioned an Alternative Financing Mechanism Study, which was subsequently prepared
by the consulting firm of Brown and Caldwell. The recommendation of the financing study,
as amended by the City Leadership Team, is to pursue four separate funding sources.
The first of these sources is the establishment of new processing fees for the review and
inspection of SWPPP’s for construction related activities and business-related
commercial/industrial activities. The second source is the establishment of new and/or
increased fines and levies against storm water code violators. The third source is to impose
utility surcharges on the City’s water, sewer and/or solid waste service bills to pay for those
storm water activities reasonably related to the provision of utility and solid waste services.
The fourth source is the creation of a new storm water utility charge to pay for property
related storm water activities and potentially for major repair and replacement of storm water
collection and treatment facilities. This report is concerned only with the establishment of
new construction related SWPPP processing fees and imposition of solid waste service
surcharges.
One of the Leadership Team recommendations was not to pursue the imposition of fines and
levies at this time. At this stage of the storm water program, enforcement of the regulations is
being carried out on a cooperative basis a gain voluntary compliance from, for example illicit
discharges into the City’s storm water drainage system.. Failing that, the City has the means
to enforce compliance through its already-established code enforcement process. Eventually
as the program progresses, the City will want to establish a more aggressive fine and levy
mechanism to recoup all its enforcement costs.
Another recommendation of the Leadership Team was to delay the creation of a storm water
utility and establishment of a storm water utility fee. Establishment of a storm water utility fee
is subject to the requirements of California Constitution Articles XIII C and D (as amended by
Proposition 218). Articles XIII C and D essentially make it mandatory to submit any new
property-related service fee or charge to a vote of the electorate or property owners. Water
sewer and solid waste service fees are specifically exempt from the voting provision of the
Articles.
Establishing of a storm water utility will require either a two thirds approving vote of the
general electorate or a simple majority vote of the property owners subject to the fee or
charge. The process of establishing a storm water utility is lengthy and requires a considerable
amount of public education to obtain a successful vote. Staff will proceed with the formation
of a storm water utility during FY 2003-04 at City Council’s discretion. In the interim, the
Leadership Team recommended establishment of the new SWPPP processing fees and
imposition of surcharges upon existing water, sewer and/or solid waste service bills.

Justification for Surcharges to Utility and Solid Waste Service Rates
Imposition of utility surcharges to provide storm water protection services has been carried
out by other agencies without the need for a Proposition 218 vote. The main reason for this is
that storm water facilities and their respective maintenance operations perform a bilateral
function. Historically, storm drainage facilities have served to protect property from flooding.
As such they collect and control the rainwater that falls onto properties in a manner that
reduces the likelihood of flooding. The amount of runoff is directly related to the size of the
property and amount of impermeable surface upon the property. For this reason a fee or
charge for the flood control function of storm drainage facilities can be considered a property-
related fee subject to Proposition 218.
The passage of the Clean Water Act has increasingly led to the use of storm drainage facilities
for a secondary function, that of storm water pollution prevention. The Clean Water Act
regulations as expressed in the Order established strict requirements for the cleaning and
maintenance of inlets, sedimentation basins and storm water pipes, testing and monitoring of
storm water and drainage flows, removal of litter and sweeping of streets, erosion control,
illicit connection and illegal discharge detection and, reporting and general administration of
cleanup activities. However, unlike flood control, the storm water pollution prevention
function of storm drainage facilities is directly related to the development and use of a
property and not the property itself. For example, a fast food restaurant generates significantly
more pollution/solid waste than does a single family residence.
The Order does not seek to control runoff for native, undeveloped property; however it should
be understood that even undeveloped property creates a certain amount of pollutants. Eroded
soils and vegetative matter escape undeveloped property and find their way into the
waterways. This undeveloped or native pollutant loading is generally considered to be
beneficial and comprises the ecological base line for a lagoon or waterway. However, further
addition of soils and vegetative matter, addition of different types of vegetative matter and
addition of new pollutants created by development and use of properties is considered non-
beneficial and potentially ecologically damaging to waterways.
Water, sewer and solid waste (refuse collection) services are not purchased by property
owners, as owners, but as users of property. The charge for water, sewer and solid waste
services is not per parcel, but according to the amount or volume of the service purchased and
used. The charge can be avoided by discontinuing the use. For these reasons, a surcharge on
water, sewer and/or solid waste service fees is not a “property-related” fee or charge as that
term is used within Articles XIII C and D of the California Constitution (and Proposition
218).
There is a reasonable relationship between the use of potable water and the creation and
transport of pollution into the City’s storm sewer system. There is also a reasonable
relationship between the generation of solid waste and other pollutants from the use of a
property and its unintentional or intentional transport into the City’s storm drainage system. It
is fair and reasonable that a portion of the costs of cleaning the storm drainage waters be
borne by users of potable water and/or solid waste services. It is the use of developed
7
properties that generate the solid waste and other pollutants, and it is the use or misuse of
potable water that increases the generation of solid waste and helps to transport such wastes
and other pollutants into the City’s storm sewer system and ultimately into the waterways the
Clean Water Act seeks to protect.
Because the City’s water service area covers roughly 80% of the City’s incorporated
boundary, development of a water rate surcharge would not extend to all developed properties
within the City. Imposition of a water rate surcharge would, therefore, create both a shortfall
in revenue and an inequity of payment by users. Fortunately, the City has a superior
alternative, the imposition of a rate increase for solid waste services.
Solid Waste Service Fees Authority and Justification
Nearly all the constituents that make up the pollutants discharged into the City’s storm sewer
system qualify as solid waste under the definitions established in State and local codes. City
Code Section 6.08.010 (A)(22). defines solid waste as meaning “putrescible and
nonputrescible solid, semisolid and liquid wastes, generated in or upon residential or
commercial premises, including garbage, trash, refuse, paper, rubbish, ashes, industrial
wastes, construction and demolition wastes, abandoned vehicles and parts thereof, discarded
home and industrial appliances, dewatered, treated, or chemically fixed sewage sludge which
is not hazardous waste, manure, vegetable or animal solid and semisolid wastes, and other
discarded solid and semisolid wastes.” This definition is consistent with the Public Resources
Code Section 40191 definition of solid waste.
Pursuant to City Code, the City Council is authorized to establish rates and fees to be paid for
regular solid waste services by resolution (Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 6.08.180). The
City Code definition of solid waste services includes the collection, transport and disposal of
solid waste and designated recyclables, including yard waste, from residential, commercial
and industrial generators (Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 6.08.010(A)(23)).
The primary constituents that make up the pollutants of concern that enter the City’s storm
drainage system generally originate from one of the following sources:
1) The use of developed property within the City
2) Construction activities related to the development or redevelopment of property
3) The use, development or redevelopment of property in other jurisdictions
4) Travelers visiting or passing through the City for either commercial or non-
commercial purposes
5) Natural sources from within and outside the City (soot from brush fires, native
vegetative matter, soil erosion, etc)
Of primary concern to this study are the pollutant constituents originating from source
numbers 1 and 2 listed above. The cleanup and prevention of these pollutants account for the
vast majority of costs expended by the City for storm water pollution prevention activities.
8
Consistent with Article XII D Section 6(c), rates or fees established to collect, transport and
dispose of these solid waste pollutants from developing and developed properties within the
City can legitimately be to charged to solid waste service users as a regulatory fee.
A fee or charge for the cleanup of airborne pollutants, originating from other jurisdictions and
dispersed over all properties in the City (regardless of their use) or, for pollutants originating
from natural sources, whether they occur on developed or undeveloped property, could be
construed as property related fee and subject to the voting provisions of Article XIII D of the
California Constitution. However, as will be described later in this report, the volume of such
airborne pollutants is negligible in comparison to the volume of pollutants from sources 1 and
2, above, and the costs to cleanup airborne pollutants does not significantly increase the City’s
cost to clean up solid wastes from sources 1 and 2..
This study does not address cost recovery for water borne pollutants originating from outside
the City or from travelers passing through the City. Such costs are not attributable to users of
developed or developing property within the City and therefore cannot be reasonably charged
to solid waste service users within the City. However, costs to clean up solid waste and other
pollutants generated from travelers that visit developed properties within the City can be
charged to solid waste service users within the City.
The City currently charges a solid waste service fee to the owners of all developed property
within the City including those used for residential, commercial and industrial purposes. The
City’s current fee structure for solid waste services was established on the basis of curbside
collection and does not include any cost recovery for the collection, transport or disposal of
‘fugitive’ solid waste originating from the use of developed property. However, as mandated
by the Clean Water Act, the City is now required to exercise its authority to prevent the
discharge of such ‘fugitive’ solid waste from entering the storm water drainage system and to
the maximum extent practicable collect, transport and dispose of those solid wastes that enter
into the storm drainage system via storm water runoff or other property drainage.
Note: For the purposes of this study, ‘fugitive’ solid waste is solid waste generated by the use
or users of developed property, which leaves developed property by the action of wind, water,
mechanical or human means, and which is not otherwise carried away by curbside solid waste
collection services or deposited in a legal dumpsite. Fugitive solid waste includes, but is not
limited to, liquid, semisolid and solid wastes including pesticides, herbicides, oil, soapy water,
leaf litter, lawn clippings, foodstuff, pet waste, brake dust, tire rubber, paint chips, dust, hair,
glass, metal, paper, plastic and dirt
All of the storm water pollution prevention activities listed in Table 1 of this report can in
whole or in part be reasonably charged to solid waste service users except for costs related to
the preparation, review, inspection or implementation of Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plans (SWPPP’s). The costs for SWPPP review and inspection for development/construction
projects and business-related commercial or industrial activities will be addressed separately
in later sections of this report. The costs for SWPPP preparation and implementation for City
owned public facilities will be borne by the City’s General Fund or other operating funds as
determined by City Council and are not addressed in this report.

Solid Waste Service Fee Rate Increase Computation
Legal mandates –
As noted in the preceding section with the exception of the preparation, review, inspection
and implementation of SWPPP’s, all the other activities listed in Table 1 are solid waste
services. However, not all the costs for these solid waste collection activities can reasonably
be charged to existing solid waste service users within the City via a service fee rate increase.
Some portion of the costs could be considered property related and as such their imposition
may require a vote of the electorate or property owners in compliance with Articles XIII D of
the State Constitution. Other costs are not attributable to the solid waste service users in the
City and could not be reasonably charged such users.
The imposition of new or increased service fees must:
1) Be based upon the actual costs of providing the service for which the fee is being
charged. Said another way, the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to
provide the service.
2) Be reasonably related to the service being provided
3) Have a ‘nexus’ or rough proportionality to use or size of the
property/development.
Consistent with the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, (Public Resources
Code section 40000 et seq.), the city “may determine aspects of solid waste handling which
are of local concern, including, but not limited to, frequency of collection, means of collection
and transportation, level of services, charges and fees, and nature, location, and extent of
providing solid waste handling services.” (Public Resources Code section 40059). In
addition, Public Resources Code section 41901 requires the city to comply with Government
Code section 66016 when setting and collecting local solid waste fees.
Pursuant to Section 66016 of the California Government Code, prior to levying a new service
fee or increasing an existing service fee, a local agency must hold at least one open and public
hearing at which oral and written presentations can be made. The meeting must be noticed a
minimum of 14 days in advance and the action creating the fee or fee increase must be taken
by ordinance or resolution. Since the City Council has previously adopted a solid waste
service fee ordinance, a fee increase may be established by resolution pursuant to City Code
Section 6.08.180.
Existing Solid Waste Fee Structure –
While relatively simple for residential service, the fee structure for commercial service is
much more complex involving multiple potential bin sizes, pick-ups per week and recycle
needs. Table 3 on the following pages detail the City’s current fee structure for solid waste
services:

It should be noted that the above tables do not include the solid waste charges for temporary
bins for special hauls or construction waste. Such charges are generally for one time short
duration uses and therefore are not considered in any potential rate increases. Also not
included in any potential rate increase are costs for miscellaneous services or drop off
recycling. Only those costs for regular services provided to users at their place of residential
or commercial use were considered for the proposed rate increases.
Solid Waste Fee Revenues and Expenditures –
As stated in the above sections, the City collects solid waste service fees from residential
service users within the northern 80% of the City. By agreement, the remaining fees are
collected by the City’s solid waste hauler, Coast Waste Management. The bulk of the
revenues generated from solid waste service fees go directly to Coast Waste Management to
operate the curbside collection of commercial and residential refuse and recyclable wastes.
The remaining revenue (9.5% of the total revenue collected) goes to the City as a franchise
fee (7.5%) and AB 939 fees (2%). The AB 939 fees are additional charges added to the solid
waste service fee to pay for recycling and waste reduction programs mandated by California
Assembly Bill No. 939.
The total amount of solid waste revenues generated during Fiscal Year 2002-03 was
$11,668,003. The City’s share of the revenues (franchise fee plus AB 939 fee) is $1,108,460.
The City budget for Solid Waste Services for FY 2002-03 was $234,410. The current fiscal
year budget is $276,761. The total average number of residential solid waste service
customers within Carlsbad for FY 2002-03 time period was 25,110.

The following table shows the distribution of solid waste service fee revenues collected by
both the City and Coast Waste Management for FY 2002-03:

* Rolloff Service Users are those requesting large sized waste bins on a one-time basis to
remove remodel, construction and other special waste removal needs.
Cost Apportionment –
The remainder of this section provides the justifications for apportioning the costs of the
City’s storm water pollution protection activities to the City’s solid waste service fee in
accordance with all legal mandates for imposition of new or increased service fees as
discussed above.
Street Sweeping –
The City’s street sweeping program is divided into two categories – sweeping of public roads
and sweeping of parking lots. The cost of sweeping public parking lots is a direct result of the
public use of the property and therefore should not be added to the solid waste fee.
The majority of the costs for sweeping public roads can and should be apportioned to solid
waste service users. The City’s entire local road network and a certain percentage of its
arterial network were constructed for the sole purpose of serving developed properties that
front upon or otherwise access the network. Virtually all of the solid waste materials swept
from City streets originate from the use of developed properties. A certain percentage of the
wastes may originate from airborne pollutants generated from outside the City, from travelers
passing through the City or from undeveloped properties.
In determining the proper allocation of costs to the various generators of the solid waste swept
from City streets, several reasonable assumptions must be made. First, it is assumed that the
volume of waste generated from airborne pollutants originating outside the City’s developed
land base is negligible in comparison to the waste generated from local developed properties
and does not add significant costs to the collection, transport or disposal of the solid waste
collected through sweeping of City streets. Therefore, no cost allocation will be attributed to
this source. The second assumption is that the general purpose of City roads is to serve the
needs of developed property both within and outside the City, therefore, the removal of solid
waste accumulations generated from undeveloped properties should be borne by the users of
13
developed property and not the owners of undeveloped property. In other words, without
developed property there is no need for paved roads and without paved roads there is no need
to remove the sediments and vegetative matter typically generated from undeveloped land.
The third assumption, or perhaps more accurately set of assumptions, establishes the
framework for allocating costs between City roadway travelers originating from (or destined
for) developed property within the City and those travelers passing directly through the City.
The first assumption is that those passing through the City by and large are using one of five
regional arterial roads within the City, Carlsbad Boulevard, El Camino Real, La Costa
Avenue, Palomar Airport Road or Rancho Santa Fe Road. The next assumption is that, absent
regional traffic, users of local developed property would still require the use of at least two
lanes of the aforementioned regional roadways to serve their local needs. The last assumption
is that solid wastes accumulate more or less uniformly across the road network.
Using these assumptions, it can be found that the percentage of street sweeping costs
attributable to City solid waste service users is roughly proportional to the percentage of street
lane miles that directly serve the needs of local developed properties. Given that the total
number of street lane miles within Carlsbad is 664 miles (excluding alleyways, freeways and
private streets not included within the City’s street sweeping program) and that he total
number of lane miles needed to primarily service regional through traffic is 52 lane miles.
Then, the total number of road lane miles required to service the needs of local land
development uses is 612 miles (664 miles – 52 miles). The percentage of street sweeping
costs attributable to solid waste service users located within Carlsbad is, therefore, 92%
(612/664).
Given that the yearly cost to sweep the entire road network is currently $149,069 and
applying the percentage described above then, the fair share allocation of annual street
sweeping costs attributable to solid waste service users within Carlsbad is $137,143.
Assuming that the amount of solid waste swept from City streets is generated in rough
proportionality to the amount of solid waste removed from developed properties using
curbside solid waste collection services then, the fair share cost of the City street sweeping
activities can be allocated amongst residential and commercial solid waste service users based
upon their respective ratios of annual revenues to the total annual solid waste curbside
collection revenues (excluding rolloffs). The City’s current yearly gross revenues for
residential and commercial solid waste collection service is $4,535,103 and $4,737,774
respectively. The percentage of the total solid waste curbside collection revenues derived
from residential uses is 49% and the percentage for commercial uses is 51%. Using these
percentages to allocate the fair share costs for street sweeping results in an allocation of
$67,200 to residential service users and $69,943 to commercial service users.

* Excludes freeways and alleyways
Litter Removal –
A large percentage of the litter removed from City rights-of-way and other public places
originates from users of developed property within the City or from travelers visiting, serving
or being served by developed properties. Again a simplifying assumption will be made that
the percentage of costs that can be apportioned to solid waste service users is roughly
proportional to the percentage of street lane miles used for local development needs to the
number of total lane miles in the City or 92%. Given that the City’s yearly expenditure for
litter removal is $75,621. the total litter removal cost that can be allocated to users of solid
waste services is $69,571.
The allocation of the $69,571 in fair share litter removal costs between residential and solid
waste service users can be made at the same ratio use to allocate the street sweeping costs.
The table below shows the yearly litter removal costs and amounts allocated to the City’s
solid waste service users and other funding sources.

Storm Drainage Facility Cleaning and Light Maintenance –
The cleaning and light maintenance of storm drainage facilities (inlets, pipes, channels and
basins) is essentially a solid waste collection, removal and disposal activity. Heavy
maintenance activities which include structural repairs and replacement of storm drainage
facilities is not a function of solid waste servicing and therefore not included within the scope
of this study. The primary constituents removed from the City’s inlets, pipes, channels and
basins during light cleaning and maintenance are sediments, vegetative matter, trash and other
refuse and a host of lesser minor pollutants. Such solid wastes primarily originate from
developed and undeveloped properties within the City. As with solid waste swept from public
streets, a small fraction of the solid waste removed from storm drainage facilities originates
from air borne pollutants distributed over the City landscape; however, as discussed in the
street sweeping section, the volume of air borne materials compared to the volume generated
from properties within the City is negligible and does not materially add to the cost of the
storm drainage facility cleaning activities. Therefore, the costs of removing transporting and
disposal of solid waste removed from drainage facilities will be spread fully to residential and
commercial solid waste service users. Heavy maintenance activities, which include structural
repairs and replacement of storm drainage facilities by the City, is not a function of solid
waste servicing and therefore not included within the scope of this study.
The following table depicts the distribution of current aggregate land use amongst developed
and undeveloped lands within the City. Undeveloped lands are further broken down among
potentially developable and permanent Open Space.
Table 7
Carlsbad Aggregate Land Use Distribution
Current Property Use Area in acres
Developed 12,457
Undeveloped
Future Developable 6898
Permanent Open Space 5725
Unlike streets, storm drainage facilities serve the needs of both developed and developed
properties. Although storm drainage facilities are needed to primarily protect developed
properties, they are sized to handle flows from all properties and carry storm water runoff
from future developable properties. Sediments and vegetative matter generated from future
developable property contribute to the solid waste loading of storm drainage facilities in
rough proportionality to the percentage of acreage upstream of City drainage facilities.
For the most part, lands within permanent open space either encompass the City’s waterways
or drain directly into the City’s waterway and thus, do not add to the solid waste load
deposited within the City’s storm drainage system. Therefore, the costs to remove solid waste
from City storm drainage facilities should not be allocated to permanent Open Space
properties. The allocation of costs should be based solely upon the ratio of currently
developed and future developable land to the total amount of developable land within the
City. By using this cost allocation methodology, the percentage of storm drainage facility
cleaning costs attributable to developed properties is found to be 64% (12,457/19,355) and the
16
percentage of costs attributable to undeveloped property is 36% (6,898/19,355). Given that
the total annual storm drainage facility cleaning and maintenance cost is $173,354, the
amount allocated to solid waste service users is $110,946 ($173,354 x 64%). The remaining
amount attributable to undeveloped properties that will be allocated to the General Fund until
such time as the properties develop is $62,407.
The ratio of developed and future developable property within the City will be reviewed on an
annual basis through the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS), and by confirming the
number of building permits issued during the previous year. After this review is completed,
City staff will re-allocate solid waste service user fees to reflect any changes in the ratio
between developed and future developable properties in the City.

maintenance costs to the various proposed funding categories:

Storm Event Activities –
Storm event activities include activities to prepare for and react to storm events such as filling
and stockpiling of sandbags, patrolling of streets and drainage facilities during and after storm
events and cleaning deposited mud, debris and other solid wastes from streets and storm
drainage facilities. The same methodology used to allocate costs for cleaning and light
maintenance of storm drainage facilities is used to allocate storm event activity costs to solid
waste service users. This methodology provides rough proportionality in distributing costs in
relation to the needs created by the users of such services.
The following table presents the allocation of costs for storm event activities within the
various proposed funding categories:

Illicit Connection and Illegal Discharge Enforcement Program –
The purpose of this program is to monitor for, detect and eliminate illegal and illicit solid
waste discharges originating from developed properties within the City. Activities associated
with the Illicit Connection and Illegal Discharge Enforcement Program include monitoring
and testing of storm drainage outlets for the presence of solid waste pollutant discharges,
investigation of citizen complaints regarding potential discharge of solid waste pollutants into
City storm drainage facilities, monitoring of coastal lagoon outfall, conducting investigations
to determine the source of illegal and/or illicit solid waste discharges and enforcement actions
to abate illegal connections or illegal discharges to the City’s storm drainage system.
Since the primary purpose of the Illicit Detection and Illegal Discharge Enforcement Program
is to find and eliminate solid wastes originating from developed properties, 100% of the costs
for the testing, monitoring and complaint response work should be allocated to solid waste
users. The fair share allocation of such costs between residential and commercial users will be
made using the same ratios determined for the preceding discussion on storm water activities.
Such distribution is roughly proportional to needs created by the solid waste service users
within Carlsbad.
Once an illicit connection or illegal discharge has been discovered, then, the cost for the
subsequent investigation and enforcement activity should be paid in whole by the illegal/illicit
discharger. As stated earlier in this report, the City will initially conduct enforcement actions
on a cooperative basis so imposition of new fines and levies to recoup these costs are not part
of this study. Until such time that additional fines and levies are established to recoup these
costs, the cost of the City’s investigation and enforcement activities for the Illicit Detection
and Illegal Discharge Enforcement Program shall be borne 100% by the City’s General Fund.
Some cost recovery may be possible if the City elects to process an enforcement action using
existing code enforcement regulations.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP’s) –
There are essentially three separate program activities related to the preparation, processing
and enforcement of SWPPP’s. These include plan review and inspection of construction
related SWPPP’s, review and inspection of business related (commercial/industrial) SWPPP’s
and implementation and monitoring of municipal facility SWPPP’s. Plan review and
inspection of construction related SWPPP’s will be discussed separately later in this report
under the section dealing with new development processing fees. The cost to implement and
monitor municipal facility SWPPP’s are a fuction of the use of the City’s public facilities and
no portion of such costs can be allocated to the solid waste users; therefore, 100% of such
costs will be funded through the General Fund or other appropriate funding source.
The full cost to review and inspect business related SWPPP’s can be allocated to commercial
solid waste service users. Each commercial user within the City must be reviewed
periodically to determine their potential solid waste and other potential pollutant handling and
processing requirements. From these periodic reviews, the commercial businesses are
categorized into high, medium and low priority facilities. The categorization for industrial
sites is made based upon several factors including the type of business activity, materials
used, wastes generated, pollutants discharge potential, non-storm water discharges, size of
facility, proximity to receiving waters, sensitivity of receiving waters and other relevant
factors. For non-industrial commercial sites, the Order contains a detailed list of high priority
sites that must be inventoried and inspected on a regular basis.
Although wastes generated is but one of the many factors used to determine priority ranking
for the purpose of conducting business related SWPPP reviews and inspections this factor can
be used, for the sake of administrative simplicity, to determine a rough proportionality
between needs created by the business activity and the SWPPP plan review and inspection
services provided by the City. For this reason, costs associated with the review and inspection
of business related SWPPP’s are allocated within this study report to commercial solid waste
19
service users based upon a uniform increase in service fees to commercial solid waste service
users. By using this allocation, commercial businesses that generate more solid waste pay a
proportionally higher solid waste collection fee that in turn pays for the proportionally higher
costs to review and inspect their business premises to ensure compliance with their SWPPP
pursuant to the Order.
As additional support for this allocation methodology, it should be noted that one of the main
activities performed by City staff during SWPPP compliance inspections is to ensure that the
solid waste collection enclosures are clean, orderly and protected against storm water runoff
and unintentional spills. The following table presents the proposed allocation of SWPPP
review and inspection costs to the various solid waste service users:

Miscellaneous Storm Water Activities –
There are several miscellaneous storm water activities required to properly administer the
City’s storm water pollution prevention program in compliance with the Order. These
activities include preparation of the annual JURMP report, maintenance of geographical
information system (GIS) and other records, payment of the annual NPDES permit fee,
participation in the required wet weather testing program, general administration of the
program and, participation and maintenance of a public education and public outreach
program. Since all of these activities are required solely due to use of developed property and
because virtually all of the costs for the above mention miscellaneous activities arise from and
benefit the users of the solid waste services provided by the City, then 100% of the costs for
these activities should be allocated to the solid waste users.
20
Again, for the sake of administrative simplicity, the costs for the miscellaneous storm water
activities will be allocated among commercial and residential users based upon their
respective current ratios to the total current cost for curbside services. Such allocation
provides a rough proportionality between the needs created by the users and the costs to
perform the miscellaneous activities. The following table presents the proposed allocation of
miscellaneous storm water activity costs to the various solid waste service users:

Rate Computation -
The computation of the proposed rate increases for the solid waste services requires a
summation of the total costs for the storm water pollution prevention activities and a
determination of the methodology required to equitably spread costs to the existing solid
waste fee structure. Table 13 on the following page provides a summary of the activity costs
as they were spread to residential and commercial solid waste service users in the preceding
sections of this summary. The total cost to be spread to residential solid waste service users is
$586,673 and the total cost to be spread to commercial service users is $716,668. The
methodology used to spread these costs to residential and commercial ratepayers is discussed
in the following two sections.

Residential Service Rate Increase –
The proposed rate increase for residential solid waste service users is calculated by dividing
the total fair share allocation of costs to residential users by the yearly average number of
residential users. Currently there are two basic collection rates for residential users, one for
curbside service and the other for backyard service. Since the differential in costs has more to
do with the location of the collection and not with the use of the property, the proposed fee
increase will be added as a surcharge to the customer account rather than charging a
percentage increase to the existing collection billing. The total proposed surcharge for each
residential customer is $23.36 ($586,673/25,110 users) annually or $1.95 monthly. For
residential solid waste service users the proposed increase represents a percentage increase of
approximately 13.4% over the current monthly billing for residential curbside collection
service.
22
Commercial Service Rate Increase –
The proposed rate increase for commercial solid waste service users is determined by first
calculating the percentage revenue increase required to generated the fair share amount
allocable to commercial service users and then spreading the increase uniformly across the
commercial service rates. In this manner, those businesses requiring the greatest amount of
service will pay a proportionately higher rate commensurate with the amount of waste
generated.
The proposed rate increase for commercial service users is 15.1%, calculated by dividing the
fair share allocation of storm water protection costs ($716,668) by the total revenues for
commercial curbside service users ($4,737,774).

Construction Related SWPPP Plan Review and Inspection Fees
The review and inspection of construction related SWPPP’s is not an activity related to the
provision of solid waste services; therefore, the City costs to provide these services will not be
incorporated into the proposed solid waste services rate increase. Construction related
SWPPP’s are required to help prevent to release of potential pollutants generated from land
development and other construction activities. The costs to the City to provide the required
SWPPP review and inspection services consistent with the Order should be borne entirely by
those property owners and developers who develop or otherwise perform construction
activities to or upon their property.
To recoup the costs to review and inspect construction related SWPPP’s, this report proposes
the establishment of new processing fees to be charged to anyone required to prepare and
implement a construction related SWPPP. As required by State law, the proposed new
processing fees are based upon actual costs to provide the service, are reasonably related to
the service being provided and are roughly proportional to size of the development or
construction activity. (See Government Code Section 66016 et seq.)
Flowcharts 1 and 2 in Appendix A provide a general overview of the existing process’ used
by City staff to review and inspect construction related SWPPP’s. The boxes within each
chart list specific activities performed by staff along the various stages of the review and
inspection process and list the specific job classification(s) required to perform the specified
activity.
For the purpose of establishing fees, SWPPP review and inspection activities were segregated
into three project categories; single family detached, multi-family attached and mobile home
and, commercial/industrial projects. These three groupings were chosen to ensure that the
proposed fees maintained a rough proportionality to the size and nature of the development
activity. Tables A-1 through A-3 in Appendix A detail the average amount of time required
by each job classification to complete the various activities depicted in Flowcharts 1 and 2 for
each of the three project categories.
For each project category, a separate fee is proposed for SWPPP review and inspection
services. It is proposed that the SWPPP review fee be charged concurrent with the submittal
of the SWPPP to the City for review. The SWPPP inspection fee will be charged prior to
issuance of the associated grading, right-of-way or building permit being issued for the
covered development and/or construction activity. This fee splitting methodology is consistent
with the City method of collecting existing plan review and inspection fees for grading and
street improvement projects. In many instances there are significant time delays between the
review and approval of a plan and the issuance of the respective construction permit. In other
cases, projects are abandoned by the property owner and/or developer and never make it to
construction. Splitting the fees into the two activities (review and inspection) reduces the
financial burden to developers, reduces the need to refund unused fees for projects that don’t
go to construction and provides for increased revenues because inspection fees may be raised
26
during the annual fee review process before the developer applies for their construction
permits.
The following table presents a summary of the proposed new fees for construction related
SWPPP review and inspection services.

Commercial/Industrial $280 $280 $400 $400
Note that for residential projects there is a base fee for the first unit or lot and a reduced fee
for each subsequent unit or lot. The reduction accounts for certain processing activities that
occur whether one or multiple lots/units are processed. It is also a reflection of the fact that
the average residential project includes from 20 to 50 units. The fee for commercial/industrial
lots is fixed at the same value for each lot. The reason for the fixed fee is that average lot sizes
for commercial and industrial projects are larger and the average number of lots per project
are smaller. Due to the method employed to determine staff time spent reviewing an average
commercial and industrial lot, the incremental reduction in costs to review subsequent lots
was considered marginal and therefore one set rate is proposed for all commercial/industrial
lots.

GLOSSARY
JURMP (Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program also know as Jurisdictional
Urban Runoff Management Plan) – A program required of each owner of a municipal storm
drainage system to demonstrate compliance with the federal clean water regulations for
discharge of urban storm water runoff into the waters of the United States. Each municipal
agency JURMP must include components that address storm water pollution reduction
through land use planning, construction permitting, existing development maintenance and
operations, public education and illicit discharge detection and elimination. Each program
must also include a financial plan to guarantee funding for the program and, a mechanism to
assess the effectiveness of the program.
NPDES Permit (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit) – A permit issued
to the owner(s) of municipal storm drainage systems by the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board to ensure compliance with Federal Clean Water Act regulations. The
purpose of such permits is to reduce pollutant loadings to waters of the United States from
non-point (storm water) sources. The City of Carlsbad together with all other incorporated
cities within the County of San Diego, the County of San Diego and the San Diego Unified
Port District are each copermittees under the same NPDES permit identified as Order No.
2001-01 NPDES No. CAS0108758.
Solid Waste “Solid waste” means putrescible and nonputrescible solid, semisolid and liquid
wastes, generated in or upon residential or commercial premises, including garbage, trash,
refuse, paper, rubbish, ashes, industrial wastes, construction and demolition wastes,
abandoned vehicles and parts thereof, discarded home and industrial appliances, dewatered,
treated, or chemically fixed sewage sludge which is not hazardous waste, manure, vegetable
or animal solid and semisolid wastes, and other discarded solid and semisolid wastes.
(Carlsbad Municipal Code section 6.08.010(A)(22), and Public Resources Code section
40191)
(Add definition from CMC and state its consistency with PR Code)
SUSUMP (Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan) – A plan prepared by an agency or
group of agencies for the purpose of reducing pollutants and runoff flows from all new
development and significant redevelopment projects. The SUSUMP includes a
comprehensive presentation of specific mitigation standards and specifications that can be
employed to reduce pollutants and runoff for construction projects.
SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan) – A plan prepared by a developer, and
submitted to the City for review and approval, that described a developer’s detailed plan for
preventing the escape of pollutants of concern from a construction site to the maximum extent
practicable. City staff inspect the effectiveness of SWPPPs by site visits to monitor the
developer’s compliance with the SWPPP.
WURMP (Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program) – A program developed
collectively by those agencies whose jurisdictions contribute drainage to one or a common
28
grouping of watersheds designed to identify and mitigate the highest priority water quality
issues/pollutants that affect the watershed(s). The requirement for a WURMP provides
recognition that watershed boundaries transcend individual agency boundaries. The WURMP
also provides a programmatic approach to identify which pollutants presented the greatest
threat to the common watershed(s) and recommends measures to mitigate the threat.
