April 11, 2013 Bridge Elevation – 4/4/2013 Bridge Revetment Monitoring Report for the City of Carlsbad and the California Coastal Commission Las Encinas Creek Bridge Br. No. 57C-0790L 2 April 11, 2013 State of California – The Natural Resources Agency California Coastal Commission San Diego Area 7575 Metropolitan Drive, Suite 103 San Diego, CA 92108-4421 SUBJECT: 2013 Bridge Revetment Monitoring Report Las Encinas Creek Bridge along Southbound Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge No. 57C-0790L City of Carlsbad, California In accordance with Special Condition No. 2 set by the California Coastal Commission to approve the City of Carlsbad’s Application No. 6-09-051, Nolte Associates, Inc., an NV5 company, is submitting this fourth report for the Revetment Monitoring Program for Las Encinas Creek Bridge, Br. No. 57C-0790L. This special condition states that “the monitoring report shall be submitted to the Executive Director and City of Carlsbad Engineering Department yearly after each winter storm season but prior to the 1st of May starting with May 1, 2010”. The remaining final report shall be submitted prior to May 1st of 2014. Condition of Revetment The rip-rap along the west edge of southbound Carlsbad Boulevard starts at Station 104+20.00 to 105+37.50 and 105+81.00 to 110+08.00. The stationing is measured along the centerline of southbound Carlsbad Boulevard, and runs from north to south. Bridge construction and rip-rap placement was completed on May 28, 2010. In order to control the location of the toe of slope on the beach side during construction, the contractor placed sheet piles located 51′-10″± from the centerline roadway prior to the installation of the rip-rap. This dimension coincided with the High Tide Contour Line of 4.77′ (NGVD29) which was equivalent to 7.65′ (MLLW) as surveyed during the design phase of this project in 2009. The fourth High Definition Scanning was performed on March 20 of 2013. For ease of comparison, the original monuments installed in 2010 were surveyed and results are shown in a tabular format in this report (Appendix A). The results of our survey showed very little evidence of movement. It should be noted that this beach area is highly dynamic due to the constant wave action that deposits and removes small sized cobbles and/or sand along the length of this project. At the time of this report the beach area was absent of cobbles and consisted of a sand layer roughly 5’ above the beach profile as scanned in 2010. Following are some photos taken on April 4 of 2013 showing the current condition of the rip-rap. These photos are used for comparison to the baseline condition post construction of 2010. We’ve also included new scanned images to compare against the images developed in 2010. 3 View looking North (2010) View Looking North (2013) Rip-Rap Looking Northeast (2010) Looking Northeast (2013) 4 Rip-Rap Looking South (2010) Looking South (2013) Rip-Rap Looking South, Past the Bridge (2010) Looking South, Past the Bridge (2013) 5 6 7 For the 5 year rip-rap monitoring plan, a control system was established and an initial survey was made on June 10-11, 2010. Control was established by GPS based on CCS83, Epoch 1991.35 coordinates per City of Carlsbad Survey Control, ROS 17271. The Benchmark is OC-147 (ROS 17271 point #1433), having a NGVD 29 elevation of 50.56′. Five control points were set in the project vicinity, but outside of the rip-rap for future surveys, including a 1″ brass disc mounted on the bridge, identified as M-5. Additionally, six brass caps were set into boulders of the rip-rap and surveyed both horizontally and vertically for future monitoring. These are identified as M-1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7. All these monuments are clearly shown on the “Key Map to Control and Check Points” drawing included in this report (Appendix B). The control points were documented photographically as well as surveyed for future use. Bridge Elevation View Looking North-East (2010) (April 2013) 8 High Definition Scan Model - Section Key (See 2010 – 2013 Profile Sections as an insert at end of this report) Future Reports Nolte will continue performing a full High Definition Scan annually through 2014, and each scan will be compared to the 2010 baseline model and corresponding section views. The Table in Appendix A has been set up for this comparison. This will allow for measurement and recording of all nine monuments vertically and horizontally so that the performance of the rip-rap can be evaluated. This evaluation will determine maintenance strategies over the monitoring period. This report is prepared after each scan and submitted to the City of Carlsbad. Two hard copies as well as an electronic version are sent to the City, who will in turn forward to the California Coastal Commission in accordance with the CCC conditions of approval as set forth in the CDP Application No. 6-09-051.
