The 1987 amendments to the CWA added Section 402(p), which established a framework for regulating municipal and industrial storm water discharges under the NPDES program. On November 16, 1990, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published final regulations that establish requirements for applications for storm water permits for specified categories of industries. The regulations provide that discharges of storm water to waters of the United States from construction projects that encompass five (5) or more acres of the soil disturbance are effectively prohibited unless the discharge is in compliance with an NPDES permit. Regulations (Phase II Rule) that became final on December 8, 1999 expanded the existing NPDES program to address storm water discharges from construction sites that disturb land equal to or greater than one (1) acre and less than five (5) acres (small construction activity). The regulations require that small construction activity, other than those regulated under an individual or Regional Water Quality Control Board General Permit, must be permitted no later than March 10, 2003. 1.2 General Permit The General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Asso- ciated with Construction Activity that was enacted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (State Water Resources Control Board) Order No. 92-08-DWQ NPDES General Permit No. CAS000002 and the continued General Permit Order No. 99-08-DWQ, requires owners of land where construction activity occurs to: 1. Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which specifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will prevent all construction pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from moving off site into receiving waters, 2. Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm water systems and other waters of the nation; and, DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Maln02 .doc 1-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 1.3 Regulated Activities 3. Perform inspections of all BMPs. The implementation and enforcement of the general permit has been delegated to the nine California Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards). The general permit, included as Appendix D, is intended to initiate the regulation of storm water discharges. By using the general permit process, the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) is attempting to reduce the otherwise overwhelming administrative burden associated with permitting individual storm water discharges. The Notice of Intent (NOI) filed in connection with this project (Appendix A), obtains coverage for this project under the general permit. On August 19, 1999, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) reissued the General Construction Storm Water Permit (Water Quality Order 99-08-DWQ referred to as "General Permit"). The San Francisco BayKeeper, Santa Monica BayKeeper, San Diego BayKeeper, and Orange Coast Keeper filed a petition for writ of mandate challenging the General Permit in the Superior Court, County of Sacramento. The Court issued a judgment and writ of mandate on September 15, 2000. The Court directed the SWRCB to modify the provisions of the General Permit to require permittees to implement specific sampling and analytical procedures to determine whether Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented on a construction site are: (1) preventing further impairment by sediment in storm waters discharged directly into waters listed as impaired for sediment or silt, and (2) preventing other pollutants, that are know or should be know by permittees to occur on construction sites and that are not visually detectable in storm water discharges, from causing or contributing to exeedances of water quality objectives. The monitoring provisions in the General Permit have been modified pursuant to the court order. Construction activity includes clearing, grading, or ex- cavation that results in the disturbance of at least five acres of total land area. Disturbance can result from removing vegetative cover and exposing soils, or by placing mined or dredged material on top of the existing ground. If the disturbed area is less than five acres but is part of a larger project, it is still defined as construction activity and is regulated by the general permit. Activities that are not defined as construction activities for purposes Routine maintenance to maintain original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of the facility. DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 1-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 1.4 Discharge Prohibitions Emergency construction activities required to protect public health and safety. Dredging and/or fill discharge to any jurisdictional surface (e.g., wetland, channel, pond or marine water), which is subject to regulation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and \or Section 404 of the CWA and Section 401 Water Quality Certificate from the RWQCB/SWRCB. Authorization given pursuant to the General Permit does not constitute an exemption to applicable discharge prohibitions prescribed in water quality control plans, as implemented by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, discharges of material other than storm water that are not authorized by this permit to a separate storm sewer system or waters of the nation are prohibited, except as allowed in Special Provisions for Construction Activity, C.3. According to the General Permit as well as certain provisions of the City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinance, storm water discharges shall not cause or threaten to cause pollution, contamination, or nuisance. 1.5 Receiving Water Limitations The General Permit issued for this project and all associated phases indicates that storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges to any surface or ground water cannot adversely impact human health or the environment. The SWPPP developed for all phases of construction activity covered by this General Permit has been designed and implemented such that storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of any applicable water quality standards contained in a Statewide Water Quality Control Plan or the applicable Regional Water Board's Basin Plan. 1.6 Notification It is the responsibility of the landowner to obtain coverage under this General Permit prior to commencement of construction activities. To obtain coverage, the landowner must file an NOI with a vicinity map and the appropriate fee with the SWRCB. In addition, coverage under this permit shall not occur until the applicant develops an adequate SWPPP for the project. Section A of the General Permit outlines the required contents of a SWPPP. For proposed construction activity on easements or on nearby property by ayieemeiil or perniission, llie entity responsible for the construction activity shall file an NOI and filing fee and shall be responsible for development of the SWPPP, all of which must occur prior to commencement of construction activities. DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Maln02 .doc 1-3 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 SECTION 2 USER'S GUIDE 2.1 Goals of SWPPP This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is intended to be a living document. Its intent is to guide the property owner and contractors through compliance with the California general permit for construction activities. Parties responsible for compliance should read the general permit, included as Appendix D. The major objectives of the SWPPP are to: 1. Identify all pollutant sources including sources of sediment that may affect the quality of storm water discharges associated with construction activity (storm water discharges) from the construction site, and 2. Identify non-storm water discharges, and 3. Identify, construct, implement in accordance with a time schedule, and maintain Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non- storm water discharges from the construction site during construction, and 4. Develop a maintenance schedule for BMPs installed during construction designed to reduce or eliminate pollutants after construction is completed (post-construction BMPs). 5. Identify a sampling and analysis strategy and sampling schedule for discharges from construction activity which discharge directly into water bodies listed on Attachment 3. (Clean Water Act Section 303(d) [303(d)] Water Bodies listed for Sedimentation). 6. For all construction activity, identify a sampling and analysis strategy and sampling schedule for discharges that have been discovered through visual monitoring to be potentially contaminated by pollutants not visually detectable in the runoff. For the goals to be achieved and the responsible parties to be in conformance with the NPDES regulations, this must be a working plan. Therefore, the site contractor is responsible for making corrections to the document and/or exhibits as required during the progression of the project that are consistent with the General Permit requirements DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 2-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 and which are cost effective. Make suggestions for substitutions that you think will better accomplish the intended purposes, or which accomplish the purposes and allow cost savings to the owner or increase ease of construction. See section 2.5 for details on the modification process. 2.2 Responsibilities The general permit places responsibility for compliance with Developer, owner of the property. Developer has retained Hunsaker & Associates San Diego, Inc. to assist Developer to monitor and periodically update this SWPPP in a manner consistent with current standards and changes in site conditions or best practices. Through the contract documents, the owner intends to transfer responsibility to the contractor. A qualified contractor is responsible for assuring that the actions defined under the SWPPP are carried out in a responsible and timely manner, and is also responsible for assuring that subcontractors also follow the requirements set forth in this document. The qualified person responsible for pre-storm, post-storm, and storm event BMP inspections is: Joe Zucker, Storm Water Compliance Specialists (858) 597-1795-Office The qualified person responsible for ensuring full compliance with the permit and implementation of all elements of the SWPPP, including the preparation of the annual compliance evaluation and the elimination of all unauthorized discharges is: Joe Zucker, Storm Water Compliance Specialists (858) 597-1795-Office Site contact Person: Mike Lombard!, Morrow Development Company (760) 579-0113-Site (760)518-0163- Mobile The agency or parties to be the responsible party for long- term maintenance of BMPs is the Master Development Home Owner's Association. Take this plan seriously. It is not feasible at this time to water discharges from construction activities. Instead, the provisions of The General Permit that require implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to DI-H:VSWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doo 2-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 control and abate the discharge of pollutants in storm water discharges constitute compliance with Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT) requirements and with requirements to achieve water quality standards. Any person who violates any permit condition of the general permit is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $27,500 per day of such violation, as well as any other appropriate sanction provided by Section 309 of the Clean Water Act. Violators can also be prosecuted for civil and criminal penalties, under the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, which are in some cases greater than those under the Clean Water Act. 2.3 Organization of SWPPP The SWPPP is arranged by sections to allow easy access by the user. Section 1 gives the general background behind the regulations. Section 2 reviews the goals of the SWPPP and the structure of the plan. Section 3 is a description of the site and surrounding area in terms of several parameters. Section 4 summarizes proposed construction including grading, improvements, drainage patterns and construction schedules. Historical and potential sources of pollutants are discussed in Section 5. Sections 6 and 7 detail the best management practices that have been or will be implemented for this project, and Sections 8,10 and 11 outline the monitoring and reporting portion of the plan. Section 9 contains records. On a day-to-day basis, it is anticipated that Sections 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 will be the sections referred to most often. However, everyone responsible for implementation of the SWPPP should be familiar with the entire plan. 2.4 Access to the SWPPP A complete copy of the SWPPP is required to be kept on the site. It must be accessible to those responsible for implementing the plan. Upon request, a copy of the SWPPP must be provided to the Regional Water Board, State Water Board, or USEPA. The SWPPP is considered a report that shall be available to the public by the RWQCB under Section 308(b) of the CWA. Since storm water runoff from the site is discharged into the City of Carlsbad storm drain system, the City of Carisbad, or an authorized representative, has the right to review the SWPPP, in(^li irlinn oil rr>i-ini+nrinn ror»<-ir+o Tho C'+V h.^S fSdUSStsd 3 tii^iwx^iii^ y^i 11 iu^v^i>.w. iii^ w.vjr 11^^ copy to be maintained at the City offices.

Morrow Development Company, will be the prime contact for assuring that appropriate changes are made in a timely manner to the SWPPP. Most changes will be made in the field and initialed by the project superintendent. Major changes to the SWPPP will be made by the project engineer, Hunsaker & Associates. In addition, periodically, Hunsaker & Associates will provide their recommendation as to appropriate changes to the document (if desired), and will then make the appropriate changes in the figures and text. The owner will initial the revision log, and Hunsaker & Associates will send copies of any revised portions of the report to the City of Carisbad and all other holders of record. DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 2-4 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 SECTION 3 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1 Location The La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 project is located south of Poinsettia Lane and west of Alicante Road in the City of Carisbad. Figure 3.1 is a vicinity map of the project. 3.2 Legal Description Being a subdivision of Lot 10 of the City of Carisbad Tract CT 99-03, Villages of La Costa - La Costa Greens in the City of Carisbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map Nol4543, Filed in the Office of the San Diego County Recorder on February 12, 2003. 3.3 Site Area The total area of the parcel is 37.3 acres gross. Total area to be disturbed is 20.31 acres. 3.4 Topography Topographically, the entire La Costa Greens Phase I site is dominated by a major north-south draining alluvial valley fed by three large tributaries in the north portion of the property. The majority of the site is characterized by moderately sloping hillside terrain dissected by a dendritic pattern of drainages, which have a central confluence draining southward into San Marcos Creek. Elevations vary from a high of approximately 400 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) along the southeast boundary to a low of approximately 60 feet MSL within the main drainage basin towards southern property boundary. In pre-developed conditions, the topography for La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 consists primarily of six distinct mass graded pads that drain to respective desilting basins. The majority of these mass graded pads slope in a northeast to a southwest direction; while two mass graded pads slope in a south to north direction. A small portion of the topography of the Neighborhood 1.10 project site consists of existing moderate to steep sloping hillside terrain. 3.5 Drainage Patterns (Before Construction) The La Costa Greens Phase I project site receives offsite runoff at four locations from the adjacent residential development to the east. Natural runoff from the undeveloped site flows in a westeriy direction to an unnamed tributary of San Marcos Creek, which then fiows in a southeriy direction along the site boundary of the La Costa Greens Golf Course, west of the Phase I development area. All the runoff eventually drains under DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Maln02 .doc 3-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 Alga Road via three 96" RCP culverts, as shown in Drawing No. 397-2, and discharges into San Marcos Creek towards Batiquitos Lagoon. As discussed in Section 3.4, Neighborhood 1.10 consists of several mass graded areas that drain to desilting basins. These desilting basins are dewatered via riser structures that discharge into either the backbone storm drain system built per Drawing No. 397-2 or will discharge directly to the unnamed tributary of San Marcos Creek located west of the La Costa Greens golf course. 3.6 Vegetative Cover The site consists primarily of undisturbed terrain covered with natural vegetation with portions being mass-graded, as shown on Drawing No. 397-2A. 3.7 Surrounding Area Figure 3.2 is an enlarged copy of a portion of the USGS quadrangle showing the project site. 3.8 Soils The geotechnical investigation for this site was performed by Geocon Incorporated. The investigation consisted of surface reconnaissance, subsuri'ace explorations, obtaining representative disturbed and undisturbed samples and the review of geological literature that pertains to the site. Six surficial soils types and three geologic formations were encountered during the investigation. Alluvium - encountered on site generally consists of dark brown sandy clays to clayey sands. Colluvium - soils occur along the canyon side-slopes, low areas, the base of natural slopes and along the head scarps of landslides. In general these deposits consist of pooriy consolidated sandy clays to clayey sands. Topsoil - blankets the majority of the site to an average depth of approximately 2 feet. The topsoil is typically composed of dark brown silty sands to sandy clays. Undocumented Fill - at least two generations of fill are present on the site, consisting of pond embankments or dams installed pre-1953 and later generations of fill are ooo/-«r«iotgrj ths b'jrial of pipelines sni construction of roads and adjoining subdivisions. DI-H:\SV\/PPP\2352\069\f*^ffln02 .doc 3-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 Compacted Fills - have been placed within the project site during recent construction of the sewer pump station located within the north central portion of the project, along with associated sewer relocation and the access road. See Appendix H for list of sources. 3,9 Runoff Coefficient (Before Construction) Based upon data contained in the County of San Diego Hydrology Manual, the pre-developed runoff coefficient for the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 site area is 0.45. 3.10 Other Applicable Site Conditions Other unique site characteristics of potential importance to storm water runoff and quality issues have been considered, including: Endangered Species/ Sensitive Habitats; Wetlands; and. Historic and Archeological Requirements. None of these issues have been determined to specifically apply to conditions at La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10, based upon planned and current storm water management practices. 3.11 Pre-Construction Residues The Phase 1 Hazardous Substance Contamination Site Assessment ("Phase I Environmental Site Assessment") that was conducted by Alliance Environmental Services on February 17, 1995, concluded that historical use of the land before commencement of development at the site, was undeveloped land comprised entirely of natural scrub vegetation. There was subsequent testing done on The Greens due to an old diesel storage tank that was on the property for the farming operations. The soils testing indicated that there were no significant levels of contaminants and no soils remediation would be required. No other evidence of sumps, drums, underground storage tanks, pipelines with petroleum hydrocarbons, hazardous substances, acutely hazardous materials or hazardous waste, pumps, tanks, clarifiers or septic tanks/leach fields were observed on site.

Approximately 31% of Neighborhood 1.10 will remain undeveloped. The required infrastructure includes sanitary sewer, water, gas, electric, cable television and storm drain systems. 4.2 Grading All grading necessary for the construction of Neighborhood 1.10 will be complete by June 2004. Developer will install perimeter site access and sediment and/or erosion control and "in tract" slope control in advance of site improvements, and as deemed appropriate for site conditions. 4.3 Paving Neighborhood 1.10 will include construction of four (4) proposed private roads. Roads will be paved with asphaltic concrete and portiand cement concrete. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks and driveways will be constructed of Portland cement concrete. 4.4 Percentage of Site Imperviousness Before construction 3.3%, after construction 35.7%. 4.5 Runoff Coefficient (After Construction) According to the County of San Diego Drainage Design Manual, single-family residential developments are typically designated a runoff coefficient of 0.55. This corresponds to post-development conditions and soil group D. 4.6 Drainage Pattern (After Construction) All runoff from Neighborhood 1.10 will drain to a proposed storm drain outlet located at the southwest corner of Neighborhood 1.10 (at the Street KK cul-de-sac). Storm drain runoff discharges from this location to the unnamed tributary of San Marcos Creek, which flows in a southeriy direction along the west side of Neighborhood 1.10. Three types of storms produce precipitation in the regional drainage basin: general winter storms, general summer storms (including tropical storms), and local storms. DI-H:\SWPPP\23S2\069*lain02 .doc 4-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 Historically the largest floods have been a result of the general winter storms, where rainfall occurs over a larger area. Tropical storms may occur in the summer and eariy fall, but have not historically resulted in major floods. Local storms, which may occur at any time of the year, usually produce a short duration and high intensity rain fall over a small drainage area. Depending on the magnitude of the storm and the capacity of the storm drain system, localized flood damage may occur. Storm drain facilities for the project are designed to accommodate the peak flows from a 100-year storm. 4.7 Construction Schedule Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin May 2003 and proceed according to the proposed schedule included in Appendix F. The construction activity schedule includes all major activities such as mass grading, paving, improvements, and erosion and sediment control deployment. 4.8 Erosion Control Plan Appendix K is an Erosion Control Plan, which shows the construction project in detail including the existing and planned paved areas and buildings. 4.9 Hydrology Map Appendix L illustrates the relevant drainage areas. 4.10 SWPPP Wall Map A laminated Wall Map showing street improvements and utilities has been provided to the contractor and shall be posted in the construction site trailer to be used to track the current construction activities, erosion and sediment control measures and BMPs in place. Target areas should be marked. The actual location of BMPs, storage of soil or waste, vehicle storage and service areas, construction material loading, unloading, and access areas, equipment storage, cleaning, and maintenance areas, etc. should also be shown.

Minimize the exposure of storm water to • Contaminated soil, • Toxic materials. • Construction materials, • Equipment, vehicles, • Waste storage areas, or • Service areas. 5.3 Possible Pollutants (During Construction) A variety of pollutants are anticipated to be onsite during construction activities. Figure 5.1 lists common pollutants, which are typically onsite during construction, and may be present in storm water runoff from the site unless appropriate management practices are implemented. Refer to the Wall Map (Appendix N) for areas of containment and BMPs selected to eliminate or reduce these pollutants, and any additional materials that have the potential to contribute to the discharge of pollutants other than sediment in storm water. Soil erosion can be a major source of pollutants from construction activities, due to the area of ground exposed to erosion by water and wind. The onsite soil can be prone to absorb and bind toxic pollutants, and it is susceptible to erosion. Soil amendments added for landscaping can become water borne pollutants if adequate protection measures are not taken. Dust and other airborne pollutants falling on the site can in turn be picked up by storm water flows. Concrete washout, while not toxic, does contain fine particulates that are detrimental to some beneficial uses of waterways. Fertilizers are typically applied at a rate that exceeds what the plants can effectively utilize. The excess is washed off the soil during storms. If the nutrients reach a natural body Dl-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 5-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 of water, they can encourage growth of algae and other detrimental vegetation. Air pollution, in addition to depositing biologically insignificant particulates onsite, can deposit biologically nutritive, water-soluble pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ash. The heavy equipment used in construction can be a source of engine-related pollutants. Oil and grease, fuel, antifreeze, coolants, and other fluids fall in this category. Those pollutants can drip from the equipment, be spilled during fueling, or leak from storage areas. While heavy equipment is the largest potential source of these pollutants, standard vehicles are additional sources. Waste material from landscaping appears benign, since it is 'natural'. The decay of these materials consumes oxygen, which is necessary in water for both plant and animal life. The biological oxygen demand (BOD) of decaying vegetation can deplete required oxygen supplies. The paints, adhesives and solvents used in construction all contain toxic materials. Improper use, storage, and disposal of these substances can pollute storm water runoff from the site. Lumber that has been treated with chemical preservatives, and plated metals can also be a source of pollutants. Toxins in pesticides, if applied with improper concentrations or application rates, can result in polluted runoff. Construction waste is also a potential pollutant. Any excess lumber or other waste, especially smaller pieces, which could be carried offsite by storm water, could detrimentally affect beneficial uses downstream. Packaging materials such as paper, cellophane and plastics can be harmful to the environment in a similar manner. 5.4 Possible Pollutants (Post-Constructlon) The completion of construction activities represents the removal of some pollutant sources from the site. However the urban development of the property and the effects of automobile use and atmospheric deposition create potential pollutants. Figure 5.2 shows some of the common sources of pollutants in urban runoff. Runoff from paved surfaces can contain both sediment, in the form of silt and sand, and a variety of pollutants that are transported by the sediments. Airborne pollutants commonly include appreciable amounts of sulfur, toxic DI-H:\SWPPP\2362\069\Main02 .doc 5-3 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 compounds and heavy metals, pesticides, organic compounds, fungi, pollen and soil. The wear on clutch and brake linings can contribute asbestos to the runoff. Landscape activities by homeowners are an additional source of sediment. The maintenance of parkway areas and atmospheric deposition contribute nitrogen and phosphorous to highway runoff. Fertilizer applied by homeowners, in addition to organic matter such as leaves and lawn clippings all result in nutrients in storm water runoff. Improper disposal of household pet fecal waste is a potential source of bacterial contamination of runoff. In more rural areas, septic systems can pose a potential impact. Sanitary sewer systems that overflow may contribute to bacterial contamination, as well the decay of organic matter in storm drain inlets or catch basins. Organic debris from landscape maintenance, animal waste, and street litter are common sources of oxygen demanding substances found in storm water. Heavy metals come into contact with storm water through deposition on paved suri'aces. Chromium, copper, lead, zinc, iron cadmium, nickel, and manganese are associated with automobile use, and come from a variety of sources including auto body rust, bearing and bushing wear, diesel fuel, gasoline exhaust, metal plating, motor oil, and tire wear. Weathered paint, wood preservatives, and pesticides in an around residences are a source of heavy metals. Consumer use of excessive herbicide or pesticide contributes toxic chemicals to runoff. The average household contains a wide variety of toxins such as oil/grease, antifreeze, paint, household cleaners and solvents. These substances may be improperiy used, stored, and disposed of, and contaminate storm water runoff. Other toxic pollutants include the use of products by the City to control weeds and insects. 5.5 Non-Storm Water Discharge The General Permit prohibits discharges of non-storm water liquid and waste, with the exception of discharges that are authorized by another NPDES permit and certain discharges associated with construction activities that meet the following conditions: • Discharged water is necessary for the performance and completion of project; DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 5-4 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 • The discharge does not cause or contribute to a violation of any water quality standards or otherwise have an adverse effect on receiving waters; and • Feasible alternatives to discharge are not available. Non-storm water discharges that typically meet these conditions are from the following sources: . Irrigation runoff . Pipe flushing - need separate permit . Dewatering (compliance with a Regional Board Dewatering permit is required in Region 9). After construction is completed, several of the discharges may still occur from time to time, including: . Irrigation runoff . Discharge from broken pipes Cleanup washing Based upon typical construction activities and studies of suburban storm water, the potential exists for pollution of water resources through non-storm water discharges. Polluted water may only be discharged if treated and othenvise discharged in accordance with NPDES permit specifically issued for such discharges. Contact the Regional Board if you are uncertain as to whether water is polluted. 5-5 DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069XMain02 .doc ^ ^ STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 CATEGORY PRODUCT POLLUTANTS Adhesives Adhesives, Glues Resins, Epoxy Synthetics Calks, Sealers, Putty, Sealing Agents Coal Tars (Naptha, Pitch) Phenolics, Formaldehydes Phenolics, Formaldehydes Asbestos, PhenoUcs, Formaldehydes Benzene, Phenols, Naphthalene Cleaners PoUshes (Metal, Ceramic, Tile) Etching Agents Cleaners, Ammonia, Lye, Caustic Sodas Bleaching Agents Chromate Salts Metals Metals Acidity/Alkalinity Acidity/Alkalinity Chromium Plumbing Solder (Lead, Tin), Flux (Zinc, Chloride) Pipe Fitting (Cut Shavings) Galvanized Metals (Nails, Fences) Electric Wiring Lead, Copper, Zinc, Tin Copper Zinc Copper, Lead Painting Paint Thinner, Acetone, MEK, Strippo- Paints, Lacquers, Vamish, Enamels Turpentine, Gum Spirit, Solvents Sanding, Stripping Paints (Pigments), Dyes VOCs Metals, Phenolics, Mineral Spirits VOCs Metals Metals Woods Sawdust Particle Board Dusts (Formaldehyde) Treated Woods BOD Formaldehyde Copper, Creosote Masonry & Concrete Dusts (Brick, Cement) Colored Chalks (Pigments) Concrete Curing Compounds Glazing Compounds Cleaning Surfaces Acidity, Sediments Metals Asbestos Acidity Floors & Walls Flashing Drywail Tile Cutting (Ceramic Dusts) Adhesives* Copper, Aluminum Dusts Minerals Remodeling & Demolition* Insulation Venting Systems Dusts (Brick, Cement, Saw, Drywail) Asbestos Aluminum, Zinc Air Conditioning & Heating Insulating Coolant Reservoirs Adhesives* Asbestos Freon YardO&M Vehicle and Machinery Maintenance Gasoline, Oils, Additives Marking Paints (Sprays) Grading, Earth Moving Portable Toilets Fire Hazard Control (Herbicides) Health and Safety Wash Waters* (Herbicides, Concrete, Oils, Greases) Oils and Grease, Coolants Benzene & Derivatives, Oils & Grease Vinyl Chloride, Metals Erosion (Sediments) BOD, Disinfectants (Spills) Sodium Arsenite, Dinitro Compoimds Rodenticides, Insecticides Landscaping & Earthmoving Planting, Plant Maintenance Excavation, Tilling Masonry & Concrete* SoUd Wastes (Trees, Shrubs) Exposing Nahiral Lime or Other Mineral Deposits Soils Additives Revegetation of Graded Areas Pesticides, Herbicides, Nutrients Erosion (Sediments BOD Acidity/Alkalinity, Metals Aluminimi Sulfate, Sulfur Fertilizers Materials Storage Waste Storage (Used Oils, Solvents, Etc.)

Dispose of all construction waste in designated areas (to be shown on Wall Map by contractor and approved by field superintendent), and keep storm water from entering or leaving these areas. Keep containers of waste up off ground (i.e., on pallets) and cover to avoid runoff during storms 6.1.3 Stabilize Disturbed Areas 6.1.4 Control Site Perimeter 6.1.5 Control Internal Erosion Provide temporary stabilization of disturbed soils whenever active construction is not occurring on that portion of the site. Provide permanent stabilization after fine grading operations and landscape the site. Runoff from the project site should be free from excessive sediment and other pollutants through the use of silt fencing, rock bags, hydro-mulch, fiber rolls, etc., placed at strategic locations throughout the site. Detain waters that contain sediment and other pollutants from the disturbed areas of the site throughout specific stages of project development. To achieve these objectives during construction, BMPs have been selected from two categories: Contractor Activities (CA) and Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC). BMPs are indicated for specific pre-construction, construction and post-construction phases, and where appropriate defined for specific areas within the project area. The primary targeted pollutants are sediment, oil and grease, and floatable materials. 6.2 Contractor Activities These BMPs are measures aimed at reducing the amount of sediment and other pollutants that become available for transport by storm water or non-storm water runoff by DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 6-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 6.2.1 Structure Construction/ Painting monitoring and managing construction activities as the project progresses. The construction of houses using normal construction materials involves many materials that are potential pollutants. Developer personnel are responsible for ensuring that contractors control all construction activities on a regular basis to avoid pollutants from coming into contact with storm water and leaving the site. Specific activities assigned to Developer supervisory staff and contractors include the following: Conduct regularly scheduled walk-downs of active areas; report discrepancies to contractor for immediate corrective action. Sweep the area as needed. Do not sweep debris into storm drain systems. Debris should be collected and deposited into areas of open soil as long as debris consists mainly of soil material. Report all contaminated soil material to Developer supervisory personnel for immediate action. Inform subcontractors of company policy on these matters and include appropriate provisions in their contracts to make certain proper housekeeping and disposal practices are implemented. 6.2.2 Material Delivery and Storage Many materials used in construction are potential storm water pollutants. Developer supervisory personnel will monitor all material deliveries as is practical to assure that contractors: Fuel and lubricate equipment using mobile units to avoid storage of oil and grease onsite. Keep any potential pollutants that have to be stored onsite in secondary containment as shown on the SWPPP Wall Map, kept on construction trailer wall. Keep materials that are potential pollutants covered to avoid contact with rainwater. Label containers containing potentially hazardous or toxic materials (i.e., paints, oils, fuels, etc.). 6.2.3 Solid Waste Management Solid waste is one of the major pollutants resulting from construction. Contractor must assure that dumpsters are in piace for collection of solid waste. Label dumpsters "Solid Waste Only". Developer personnel will monitor the collection areas' as part of the regularly scheduled site DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 6-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 inspections/ rounds. The locations of the dumpsters shall be shown on the SWPPP Wall Map. Collect site trash on a daily basis. 6.2.4 Hazardous Waste Management Many of the materials used onsite can be hazardous materials, which can become hazardous waste if improperly disposed of. Herbicides and pesticides may only be applied by certified applicators. Do not clean out brushes or rinse paint containers into the dirt, street, gutter, or storm drain. Collect and dispose of painting materials in approved manner offsite. Store hazardous materials in original containers only in a designated storage area. Return all unused materials to designated storage areas daily. The location of these materials shall be shown on the SWPPP Wall Map. 6.2.5 Concrete Waste Management Concrete washout particulates can contaminate storm water if not properly managed. Dispose of concrete washout in an earthen basin to dry and then be disposed of properly to prevent particulates from entering storm water runoff. DO NOT WASH INTO CURBS AND GUTTERS. If constructing exposed aggregate finish, detain wash water so that fine particulates do not enter storm drain system. 6.2.6 Pavement Construction Management Proper management of pavement construction materials and activities minimizes or eliminates discharges to gutters, storm drains, and watercourses resulting from on- site road paving, surfacing, and asphalt removal activities. • Apply concrete, asphalt, and seal coat during dry weather to prevent contaminants from contacting storm water runoff. • Cover storm drain inlets and manholes when na\/lnn nr annl\/lnn cpal nnat tank cpg! slurrv Sesl, , J _. —r-f,.^...-, , , J 1 fog seal, or similar materials. DI-H:VSWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 6-3 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 • Always park paving machines over drip pans or absorbent materials, since they tend to drip continuously. • Protect drainage ways by using earth dikes, straw bales, sand bags, or other controls, which will divert or trap and filter runoff. When making saw-cuts: • Use as little water as possible • Cover each catch basin completely with filter fabric and contain the slurry by placing barriers around the catch basin (straw bales, sand bags, gravel dams). • Shovel, absorb or vacuum the slurry residue from pavement or gutter and remove from site at the end of the day or job. • Immediately remove any saw-cut slurry entering storm drain. When washing down exposed aggregate concrete: • Wash only when wash water can either flow into a dirt area, drain onto a bermed surface from which it can be pumped and disposed of in sanitary sewer or by a hazardous waste disposal program, or be vacuumed from a catchment created by blocking a storm drain inlet. • If necessary, place straw bales down slope, or divert runoff with temporary berms. • Make sure runoff does not reach gutters or storm drains. • Allow aggregate rinse to settle, and pump the water to the sanitary sewer if allowed by local wastewater authority. • Collect and return sweepings from exposed aggregate concrete to stockpile or dispose with trash; never wash into a street or storm drain. • Recycle broken concrete and asphalt. Inspect and maintain machinery regularly to minimize leaks and drips. Inspect inlet protection measures before and after rainfall events. During extended storms, inspect at least every day. If subjected to non-storm water flows, inspect daily. Maintain inlet protection so that water is not allowed to back up onto areas subject to traffic. If such back up occurs, the protective device must be removed and alternative measures deployed. 6-4 DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc " ^ STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 Check with employees and subcontractors to ensure that measures are being followed. 6.2.7 Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Oil, grease and other hazardous substances can be picked up from vehicles and construction equipment by storm water. Therefore, all Developer personnel and onsite contractors must assure that the following activities are managed on a daily basis: Maintenance • Inspect and maintain all construction equipment to prevent oil or other fluid leaks. Report all leaks and spills to your immediate supervisor. • Keep stockpiled spill cleanup materials readily accessible. Developer General Superintendent or his designee will inspect spill cleanup materials on a bi-monthly basis. • Onsite contractors should check incoming vehicles and equipment for leaking oil and fluids. Do not allow leaking vehicles or equipment onsite. Fueling (Grading and Site improvement Activities) • Fueling may only occur onsite using mobile fueling units. Contractors must ensure that all fueling and fuel staging areas are located away from drainage. • Cover retention area with an impervious material and install it in a manner to ensure that any spills will be contained in the retention area. • Contractors must always have spill control materials nearby to capture any spills from fueling that may result. Washing • Do not permit steam-cleaning onsite. • Use vehicle drip sheets in accordance with Figure 6.1 to avoid contaminating soil when equipment is maintained or stored onsite. Keep in covered area when not in use. 6.2.8 Spiii PieveniiOM and Control Spill prevention and prompt appropriate spill response reduces the potential for polluting receiving waters and spilled contaminants. Spills of concern include chemicals DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Maln02 .doc " " STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 and hazardous wastes such as soil stabilizers/binders, dust palliatives, herbicides, growth inhibitors, fertilizers, de- icing products, fuels, lubricants, paints, and solvents. Spill Types Be prepared for spills. Locate and clearly label spill kits and used absorbent containers. Respond to all spills immediately upon discovery. The appropriate spill response is determined by the quantity and/or composition of spilled substance, as follows: • A "minor spill" involves a small quantity of oil, gas, paint, etc. that can be controlled by the first responder upon discovery of the spill. • A "semi-significant spill" can be controlled by the first responder with the aid of other personnel and may require cessation of all other activity. • A "significant/hazardous spill" is a spill that cannot be controlled by personnel in the immediate vicinity. Minor Spill Response • Contain the spill • Recover the spilled material • Clean the spill area. Use absorbent materials. Do not hose down the area. • Dispose of clean-up materials appropriately Semi-Significant Spill Response • On impermeable surfaces, surround the spill with absorbent material to contain it. Clean spill using absorbent material. • On dirt areas, construct an earthen dike to contain the spill. Dig up contaminated soil and dispose of properly. • If spill occurs during rain, cover spill area to prevent contaminating storm runoff. Significant/Hazardous Spill Response • Contractor notifies the RE immediately. • Contractor calls 911 and appropriate county officials. • Contractor notifies the Governor's Office of Emergency Services Warning Center (805) 852-7550. • For spills meeting federal quantities, the contractor notifies the national Response Center (800) 424-8802. • All verbal notification must be followed up by written reports. • Contractor obtains services of spill contractor or a HazMat team immediately. Contractor staff is not to attempt cleanup until qualified assistance has arrived onsite.

Developer will utilize a series of temporary erosion control techniques to minimize exposures during rough grading, site improvement and construction phases, including use of: temporary seeding, permanent seeding, mulching, soil blankets, or sod application. In conformance with the above, the SWPPP Wall Map includes the following (if applicable): (1) A perimeter outline of the areas of vegetative soil cover or native vegetation that will remain undisturbed during the construction project. (2) A perimeter outline of the areas of soil disturbance including cut or fill areas that will be covered during the rainy season by temporary seeding, mulch, or blankets, etc. and notes representing areas of potential soil erosion where sediment control BMPs are required to be used during construction. DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 6-7 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 (3) A description of the BMPs used with particular attention paid to un-protected mass graded areas and stockpiled materials. 6.3a Sediment Control 6.3.1 Debris Fence The SWPPP Wall Map (located on construction trailer wall) includes a description or illustration of BMPs that will be implemented to prevent a net increase of sediment load in storm water discharge relative to natural levels. Sediment control BMPs are required at appropriate locations along the site perimeter and at all operational internal inlets to the City of Carlsbad storm drain system at all times during the rainy season. These are the most basic measures to prevent sediment from leaving the project site. There may be occasions when work on active areas precludes the use of sediment control BMPs temporarily. Under these conditions. Developer and onsite contractors are to establish perimeter controls prior to the onset of rain, per the General Permit requirements. In developing and implementing control practices, Hunsaker & Associates, Inc. has determined the peak flow- rates based on a return interval, as shown in Appendix L. All criteria requested for compliance with the RWQCB will be implemented with construction. Developer will consider and use, as necessary, a full range of sediment controls such as fiber rolls, silt fences, storm drain inlet protection, sediment traps, temporary sediment basins, gravel bag dikes and/or other controls. Developer will consider additional site-specific and seasonal conditions at various phases of project development when selecting and designing the BMPs. An Erosion Control Plan for the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 project (see Appendix K) has been approved by the City of Carlsbad including appropriate erosion control measures from the following: During construction, temporary Debris fences will be constructed at points of run-on from large natural areas. These will capture debris, including sediment, before runoff enters the underground storm drain system. Visual inspections should be made following each runoff- producing storm event, to ensure that the fence is functioning properly and is not clogged with debris. Debris fences will be maintained by the Contractor during construction. 6.3.2 Seeding and Planting To minimize exposure of newly graded slopes to the elements: DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 6-8 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 Hydro mulch slope areas as soon as they are constructed. Install permanent ground cover on slopes concurrent with final grading and the construction of homes. Maintain hydro mulch and landscaping for continued coverage throughout the final phases of project development. All landscaping contractors must ensure that workers install downstream gravel bags or silt barriers during active planting and watering, and clean up all areas daily to avoid sedimentation onto public rights of way. 6.3.3 Dust Control The silty sands onsite may be subject to erosion by prevailing winds as well as tracking and grinding of soils materials by construction vehicles. Therefore, Developer has implemented street sweeping around the site twice weekly, and will apply water to heavily tracked and graded areas during the dry season on an as needed basis. 6.3.4 Stabilized Construction Entrance Construction vehicle and equipment traffic from the site is a significant source of transportation for sediment. From the wheels of the vehicles, it is deposited on the City streets, and from there, into the storm drain system. Developer will construct and maintain a stabilized construction entrance in accordance with Figure 6.2, or a satisfactory alternative such as the TRACKCLEAN product at the location shown on the Erosion Control Plan as necessary per construction use and weather conditions. Site personnel will monitor the condition of the entrance at least weekly or more often as required. Area supervisors will be advised to report problems to Developer supervisors immediately. 6.3.5 Silt Fence/Fiber Roll Barrier Developer will develop and implement BMPs in a manner that creates "lines of defense" within the project site and at the site perimeter. The goal is to keep waters moving to allow silt to drop out and be collected for deposition at the site's primary disposal area. A silt fence consists of filter fabric, usually reinforced with wire, which is entrenched and attached to poles for support. Fiber rolls, also known as sediment logs or wattles, are composed of biodegradable fibers stuffed in photodegradable, open-weave netting and designed to reduce sediment runoff from disturbed soils into the storm drain system or watercourses. Fiber rolls are porous and allow water to filter through fibers and trap sediment, increase filtration rates, slow runoff, and reduce sheet and DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 6-9 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 rill erosion. Wattles also create a favorable environment for plant establishment. Fiber rolls are applied as follows: • Along sloped areas adjacent to sidewalks and roadways • Along the face of exposed and erodible slopes to shorten slope length • At entryway during active construction phases • End-to-end in a shallow trench and staked in place • At grade breaks where slopes transition to a steeper slope • In drainage swales to slow flows • Along stream banks to assist stabilization and re- vegetation On site personnel will construct silt fences or fiber roll barriers in locations shown on the Erosion Control Plan / Wall Map, in accordance with Figures 6.3 and 6.10. Developer and contractor personnel will check installed barrier DAILY during the rainy season and twice weekly during dry season. Personnel will maintain barriers by removing all accumulated material after any significant rainfall, or when accumulated material exceeds six inches. All accumulated materials will be removed to the disposal area and checked prior to disposal for debris. Repair or replace silt fence/fiber rolls as required. 6.3.6 Gravel Bag Barrier Stacked gravel bags create a barrier to detain sediment- laden runoff, promoting sedimentation. Developer and contractor's personnel will install gravel bag barriers in locations shown on the Erosion Control Plan and/or noted on the SWPPP Wall Map, in accordance with Figures 6.7 through 6.9. Developer and contractor's personnel will check installed barriers DAILY during the rainy season and twice weekly during dry season. Personnel will maintain barriers by removing all accumulated material after any significant rainfall, or when accumulated material exceeds six inches. All accumulated materials will be removed to the disposal area and checked prior to disposal for debris. Repair or replace gravel bags as required. DI-H:\SWPPP\2362\069\Maln02 .doc 6-10 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 6.3.7 Storm Drain Inlet Protection Inlet protection devices are designed to prevent sediment- laden storm water from entering a storm drain until some of the sediment has a chance to settle out. There are a variety of devices, depending upon the state of the project (i.e., if the streets are paved, if the storm drain is connected, etc). On a site-specific basis in conjunction with planned project construction meetings, on site personnel will construct storm drain inlet protection in locations shown on the Erosion Control Plan or as revised on the SWPPP Wall Map, in accordance with Figures 6.6 to 6.10. Emphasis will be placed on constructing inlet protection during current construction phases, when construction vehicles are most active. On site personnel will maintain protection devices by removing all accumulated material after any significant rainfall, or when accumulated material exceeds six inches. All accumulated materials will be removed to the disposal area and checked prior to disposal for debris. Repair or replace devices as required. 6.3.8 Sediment Basin Sediment control BMPs are required at appropriate locations along the site perimeter and at all operational internal inlets, as shown on the Erosion Control Plan, to prevent a net increase of sediment load in the storm water discharge relative to pre-construction levels. Sediment control practices may include filtration devices and barriers (such as fiber rolls, silt fences, and gravel inlet filters) and/or settling devices (such as sediment traps or basins). Effective filtration devices, barriers and settling devices shall be selected, installed and maintained properly. A proposed schedule for deployment of sediment control BMPs is included in Appendix F. Limited exceptions may be authorized by the RWQCB when work on active areas precludes the use of sediment control BMPs temporarily. Under these conditions, the discharger must have a plan to establish perimeter controls prior to the onset of rain. If the discharger chooses to rely on sediment basins for treatment purposes, sediment basins shall, at a minimum, be designed and maintained according to one of the four options listed in Section A.8 of the General Permit (see Appendix D). A sediment basin shall have a means for de-watering within 7 calendar days following a storm event. Sediment basins may be fenced if safety (worker or public) is a DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Maln02 .doo 6-11 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 concern. The outflow from a sediment basin that discharges into a natural drainage channel shall be provided with outlet protection to prevent erosion and scour of the embankment and channel. Sediment basins will require regular maintenance by onsite staff to remove accumulated silt deposits. Repair or replace basin and outlet riser as required. If a future condition requires the project to be halted, the sediment basins will be reconstructed and be maintained until such time that construction recommences. 6.4 Draft BMPs All Contractors Refer to Appendix I.

In addition to this, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board for the San Diego Region approved Order Number 2001-01 (Order) on February 21, 2001. The Order outlines the storm water discharge requirements for municipal storm water systems, which drain "development" area from watersheds within: 1) the County of San Diego, 2) incorporated cities of San Diego County, and 3) San Diego Unified Port District. The City of Carlsbad is identified as one of the municipal co-permittees in the Order and, therefore, subject to its requirements. A requirement of the Order is the development, by co- permittees, of a model Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP). The SUSMP requires all pertinent new development and significant redevelopment projects to implement a combination of BMPs, including (1) source control BMPs and (2) structural treatment BMPs. This section identifies the BMPs that will be implemented with this project, and contains information regarding their effectiveness and maintenance requirements. Maintenance responsibility is also discussed. The shaded portion of the table on the following page summarizes anticipated pollutants from the project area, based on the model SUSMP prepared by the copermittees.

This will minimize the pollutant loads generated and potentially discharged from the site. Furthermore, while the project does not depend on this open space to provide treatment of potential pollutants, there will be a natural benefit derived from its existence, both as a natural buffer between the site and water bodies anH as a ripan.esinn rrtAnhanism. DI-H:\SWPPP\2362\069\Maln02 .doo 7-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 7.3 Source Control BMPs Source control BMPs include procedures to prevent pol- lutants from ever being deposited onsite, and to prevent soil from being exposed to the elements any longer than is necessary. These must be consistent with all City of Carlsbad post-construction storm water management requirements, policies, and guidelines. Developer has considered site-specific and seasonal conditions when designing the control practices. The agencies and/ or parties to be the responsible parties for long-term maintenance of BMPs is the Homeowner's Association (HOA)^ 7.3.1 Landscaping Manufactured slopes shall be landscaped with suitable ground cover or installed with an erosion control system. Homeowners should be educated as to the proper routine maintenance to landscaped areas including trimming, pruning, weeding, mowing, replacement or substitution of vegetation in ornamental and required landscapes. Per the RWQCB Order, the following landscaping activities are deemed unlawful and are thus prohibited: Discharges of sediment, pet waste, vegetative clippings, or other landscaping or construction-related wastes. Construction grounds and landscaped areas must be stabilized. Final stabilization for the purposes of submitting a Notice of Termination (NOT) is satisfied when the following steps are implemented: All soil disturbing activities are completed AND EITHER OF THE TWO FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE MET: A uniform vegetative cover with 70 percent coverage has been established OR: Equivalent stabilization measures have been employed. These measures include the use of such BMPs as blankets, reinforced channel liners, soil cement, fiber matrices, geotextiles, or other erosion resistant soil coverings or treatments. Where background native vegetation covers less than 100 percent of the surface, such as in arid areas, the 70 percent coverage criteria is adjusted as follows: If the native vegetation covers 50 percent of the ground surface, 70 percent of 50 percent (.70 X .50 = .35) would require 35 percent total uniform surface coverage.

Provide homebuyers with information similar to the example in Appendix J as part of the new owner information package: • "Your home, your community, your environment" provided by CBIA and BIA • "Fat-Free Sewers" provided by Water Environment Federation • "Nonpoint Source Pollution" provided by Water Environment Federation • "Residential Best Management Practices" provided by the County of San Diego 7.3.3 Additional Considerations (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) In addition, RECMC will implement the following BMPs where determined appropriate: Installation of water efficient irrigation devices on "common" areas throughout the development; Roofing materials be composed of inert ingredients (e.g., plastic, tile) should be considered instead of materials (e.g., galvanized metal, copper, treated wood) likely to corrode and leach pollutants to storm water. Roof runoff from downspouts routed to pervious areas. Driveways and private sidewalks drained to pervious areas. Driveways and private sidewalk constructed from pervious materials such as pervious concrete, lattice, or grid pavement. All onsite storm drain inlets, whether newly constructed or existing be stenciled with "Don't Dump - Drains to" Trash: (a) Cover trash enclosures and/or recycling area(s), if feasible. (b) Use of impenneable materials for surfaces under dumpster areas. (c) Signage placed on the enclosure such as "No Hazardous Materials".

(10) Maintain landscaping via assignment to the HOA or to individual homeowners. Remove all vegetative waste and dispose of by composting in an appropriate location, by recycling in an approved facility, and/or by disposal in a landfill. (11) Inspect all landscape irrigation on a weekly basis to make sure that there are no broken sprinkler heads or pipes, which are creating runoff and erosion (via assignment to the HOA or to individual homeowners). 7.4 Treatment BMPs A flow based BMP is being or will be constructed for the La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 development in accordance with Waste Discharge Requirements established by the RWQCB, and are located as shown in Figure 7.1. This will remove potential pollutants from the storm runoff prior to leaving the project site. The highlighted portions of the following table indicate average pollutant removal efficiencies of the treatment BMPs being implemented for the Neighborhood 1.10 development This table is modified from the model SUSMP prepared by the copermittees and represents the best available technology currently.

These devices have been shown in field tests to remove pollutants of concern to various degrees. Factors that influence the pollutant removal efficiencies include design, maintenance, flow rate, and the application conditions, but generally these devices are rated with a medium removal efficiency for sediment and gross pollutants. All of these devices will be sized in accordance with the numeric sizing criteria outlined in the Order Number 2001-01. 7.4.2 Energy Dissipation Energy dissipation devices, stabilized outfalls, high-flow bypasses, stream bank stabilization, and other structural controls necessary to prevent channel erosion will be used. These will be constructed at each storm drain outlet. Energy dissipation will include riprap pads and natural vegetation downstream, which, when properly designed and installed, are highly effective at reducing velocities and the subsequent potential for local scour and erosion from increased runoff. 7.4.3 Vortechs System The Vortechs Stormwater Treatment System is one of several types of separation devices that depend on gravity and/or swirl concentrator technology to effectively capture sediment, gross pollutants, oil & grease, and other pollutants that attach themselves to these pollutants or settle out. These devices have been shown in field tests to remove pollutants of concern to various degrees. Factors that influence the pollutant removal efficiencies include design, maintenance, flow rate, and the application conditions, but generally these devices are rated with a medium to high removal efficiency for sediment and gross pollutants. Field and laboratory testing of the Vortechs System has generally shown better pollutant removal efficiencies than other similar units. One unit will be installed on the storm drain system discharging at the southest corner of the site. The unit has been sized in accordance with the numeric sizing criteria outlined in the Order Number 2001-01. 7.4.4 BMP sizing calculations A Storm Water Management Plan has been prepared by Hunsaker & Associates San Diego, Inc. to show the melhodoiogy and caicuialions used Lo delemiine ihe sizing of the required storm water treatment unit(s). DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 7-7 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 7.5 MAINTENANCE OF POST- CONSTRUCTION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 7.5.1 Separation Devices 7.5.2 Energy Dissipation 7.5.3 Vortechs System Separation devices should be inspected prior to the onset of the rainy season (October 1 - April 15) and after each runoff-producing event during the rainy season. Proper inspection includes a visual observation to ascertain whether the unit is functioning properly and measuring the amount of deposition in the unit. Floatables should be removed and accumulated sediment shall be removed when the sump storage exceeds 85 percent of capacity. In the event of BMP failures, design changes or repairs should be implemented as soon as feasible (dependent on field conditions). The HOA will retain responsibility for all related maintenance of these devices. Energy dissipation devices, stabilized outfalls, high-flow bypasses, and stream bank stabilization measures, when properly designed and installed do not usually require maintenance. Periodic inspection by City personnel of storm drain facilities will include these devices and structures. Maintenance Indicators - One indication that maintenance is necessary is when the sediment pile is within 6 inches of the water surface elevation in the grit chamber. Another indication that maintenance is necessary is if there is enough trash in the unit to impede the flow. This may vary, depending on what type of trash or debris has accumulated. Finally, if there is more than just a sheen of oil in the system it may need to be cleaned out. This could be an indication of an oil spill or illegal oil dumping in the upstream storm drain. These things can only be determined with routine inspections. Field Measurement - The best way to determine the amount of sediment accumulation or oil is by a simple visual inspection through the access port centered above the grit chamber. If a visual inspection is not possible, a simple stadia rod or stick works well. With this "tool" one can determine where the sediment pile is in relation to the water surface elevation. The sediment accumulations should be highest at the center, which is where the measurement should be made. Measurement Frequency - Quarteriy inspections are recommended for the first year after the site comes to equilibrium. During construction, if there is a potential for DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 7-8 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 heavy sediment accumulation, a more frequent inspection frequency would be recommended. Maintenance Activity - Maintenance activity typically depends on site conditions. On average, the Vortechs System is cleaned out annually. Many sites can go longer than this if pollutant loadings are lower, and some must be maintained more frequently. During construction especially, the system may need to be maintained on more of a regular basis if there is high sediment loading. 7.6 Other Ordinances 7.6.1 Grading Ordinance In addition to being subject to the NPDES requirements, construction onsite is also controlled by the City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinance, and Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance. The City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinance, included as Appendix G, requires that permanent erosion control be provided by effective planting of slopes, and use of check dams, cribbing, rip-rap or other methods as necessary. These items must be shown on an erosion control plan. The BMPs proposed by this SWPPP meet or exceed the requirements of the grading ordinance. 7.6.2 Municipal NPDES Permit The City of Carlsbad is a co-permittee in the area-wide municipal storm water NPDES permit and an active member of the NPDES Task Force. This agency has implemented a number of BMP programs, which include: • street sweeping • drainage ditch cleaning • used motor oil drop off • reduction in pesticide/fertilizer use • erosion prevention • education The post-construction BMPs specified in this SWPPP fall into the guidelines of the municipal permit.

This includes those personnel responsible for installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of BMPs. Those responsible for overseeing, revising, and amending the SWPPP shall also document their training. Training should be both formal and informal, occur on an ongoing basis when it is appropriate and convenient, and should include training/workshops offered by the SWRCB, RWQCB, or other locally recognized agencies or professional organizations. To achieve this, training information/resources are provided in Appendix M of this SWPPP. Additional information can be provided upon request. In addition. Developer, or its designated consultant, will conduct regular meetings with appropriate on site personnel, and occasionally utilize outside training resources to supplement in-house training to familiarize them with the plan and related roles and responsibilities. Monitoring and inspection of this SWPPP is the responsibility of the discharger, in this case. Developer. The goal of monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs as specified and installed. The contractor must maintain records of the major grading and stabilization activities occurring at the site and the timing of each activity. The contractor must also keep track of the dates that required control measures (BMPs) are to be installed, and by whom. The site inspector must keep a weekly and pre-storm inspection report during the rainy season (monthly during non-rainy season), that provides the location description, the maintenance or repairs needed, actions taken, the date completed, and any other observations made. Additionally, the inspector must keep post-storm inspection reports that include similar information plus the size and duration of the storm. These reports must be kept with the SWPPP. The inspections may be summarized on a form that shows cumulatively for the site all the weekly as well as the pre and post-storm inspections, when they were completed, and by whom.

Compliance with a Regional Board De-watering permit is required in Region 9. • Filtration is used to remove sediment from sediment trap or basin. Paving Operations • Paving materials are stored away from drainage courses. • Drainage courses are protected, particularly in areas with a grade, by employing BMPs to divert runoff or trap/filter sediment. • Drip pans or absorbent materials are placed under paving equipment when not in use. Catch basins and manholes are covered when applying seal coat, tack coat, slurry seal, fog seal, etc. • Saw-cut slurry is shoveled or vacuumed and removed from the site. Storm drains are covered or barricaded during saw cutting to contain slurry. Structure Construction & Painting • Work-site is kept clean and orderly. • Soil erosion control techniques are used if bare ground is exposed. • Paints and solvents are properly stored. • Waste materials generated from the activity are properly disposed. • Nearby storm drains are well marked to minimize the chance of inadvertent disposal of residual paints and other liquids. • The storm drain system is cleaned in the immediate construction area and after construction is completed. Material Delivery & Storage • Construction site material delivery and storage areas are designated away from storm drains, open ditches, streets and streams. Material Use • Manufacturer's instructions regarding proper use of chemicals are followed. • Fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides are not over applied. Spill Prevention & Control • Hazardous materials and wastes are stored in covered containers and protected from vandalism. • Stock piled spill cleanup materials are placed where they will be readily accessible. • Leaks and spills are cleaned up immediately. 9-2 DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 doo ^ STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 • On paved surfaces, spills are cleaned up with as little water as possible. Dry clean up methods are used (e.g., use a rag for small spills, a damp mop for general cleanup, and absorbent material for larger spills). Solid Waste Management • Onsite waste collection areas are designated. • Dumpsters are not leaking or overflowing. • Hazardous material containers are covered and/or in a secondary containment. • Site trash is collected daily, especially during rainy and windy conditions. • Toxic liquid waste (used oils, solvents, and paints) and chemicals (acids, pesticides, additives, curing compounds) are segregated from and not disposed of in dumpsters designated for construction debris. Hazardous Waste Management • Original product labels are on containers. (Labels contain important safety and disposal information.) • Herbicides and pesticides are not over applied. • Paintbrushes and equipment are not rinsed into the dirt, street, gutter, storm drain, or stream. Wash water from water-based paints is drained to the sanitary sewer. Filter and re-use thinner and solvents. Excess oil-based paint and sludge are disposed at as hazardous waste. Contaminated Soil Management • Contaminated soil as evidenced by discoloration, odors, differences in soil properties, abandoned underground tanks or pipes, or buried debris. Concrete Waste • Dry and wet materials are stored under cover and away from drainage areas. • Wash out of concrete trucks is performed off-site or in a designated areas only away from storm drains, open ditches, streets, or steams. • Excess concrete is dumped off-site or in designated onsite areas at least 50 feet from storm drains, open ditches, or water bodies. • Concrete washing to remove fine particulate and expose the aggregate is not drained into the street, or storm drain, rather it is directed to a sediment trap or basin, or allowed to infiltrate into a level dirt area. Remaining granular material is disposed of into the trash. Sanitary/Septic Waste • Sanitary facilities are located in a convenient location. • W I ^^rCALt^Vi IC4VV VVdOLOWVClkOI lO I IW L U lOWl IC4I ^Ot^ KJKAlt\^\U. • Use of an onsite disposal system (OSDS), such as a septic system, complies with local health agency requirements. DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc ^ ^ STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 • Temporary sanitary facilities that discharge to the sanitary sewer system are properly connected to avoid illicit discharges. • Sanitary/septic facilities are maintained in good working order by a licensed service and collection is conducted regularly by a licensed hauler before facilities overflow. Vehicle & Equipment Fueling • If fueling must occur onsite, designated areas are used and located away from streets, storm drains, open ditches or streams. Designated areas are designed to prevent the run-off of storm water and the run-off of spills. • "Topping off' of fuel tanks is avoided. • Secondary containment is used, such as a drain pan or drop doth, when fueling to catch spills/leaks. • Spill cleanup materials are stockpiled where they will be readily accessible. • Dry clean-up methods are used (e.g., absorbent materials are used on small spills rather than hosing down or burying the spill). Absorbent materials are removed promptly and disposed of property. Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance • Vehicles and equipment are kept clean (do not allow excessive build-up of oil and grease). • If maintenance must occur onsite, designated areas are used and located away from streets, storm drains, and drainage courses. Designated areas are also designed to prevent the run-on of storm water and the runoff of spills. • Secondary containment is used, such as a drain pan or drop doth, to catch spills or leaks when removing or changing fluids. • Absorbent materials are used on small spills rather than hosing down or burying the spill. • Onsite vehicles and equipment are inspected for leaks. • Vehicle and equipment wastes, such as greases, used oil or oil filters, antifreeze, cleaning solutions, automotive batteries, hydraulic and transmission fluids are segregated and labeled. Employee/Subcontractor Training • Employees and subcontractors have been trained regarding applicable construction site BMPs. 9-4 DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069XMain02 .doc ^ STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - LA COSTA GREENS NEIGHBORHOOD 1.10 CT. 02-20 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN INSPECTION REPORT ORIGINAL MAKE COPIES Project: La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 - CT. 02-20 WDID #: 9 37C325045 SECTION 1 GENERAL inspection Type (Check One): • Routine • During storm event • Prior to storm event • After storm event Date/Time of Inspection: Current Weather Conditions: Start of Storm Event: Rainfall Amount: (Date and Time) End of Storm Event: Time since last Event: (Date and Time) SECTION 2 REVIEW OF BMP'S I Yes *No N/A • • • Are BMPs installed properly and in accordance with the SWPPP? • • • Are BMPs in good condition and maintained in functional order? • • • Does the SWPPP (including Wall Map Exhibit) accurately reflect current site conditions? *lf any boxes in this section have been marked No, describe in writing, corrective actions that will or have now been taken in order to provide for an affirmative response to each review.

Developer hereby modifies its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to incorporate Finding 15 and to provide a procedure by which sediment and non- visible pollutants will be identified, sampled and analyzed. Developer's development activities at La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 do not discharge directly into a water body listed in Attachment 3 of the General Permit (Clean Water Act § 303.d Water Bodies Listed for Sedimentation). Therefore, this Plan does not include procedures addressing Section B.7 of the General Permit. Pursuant to sections A.S.b (2), (3) and (4) and section A.S.c. (1) and (2), Developer has considered three classes of non-visible pollutants, which may be of concern. These are: pre-construction residues, construction activities, and construction materials. 10.3.1 Pre-Construction Residues 10.3.2 Construction Activities The Phase 1 Hazardous Substance Contamination Site Assessment ("Phase I Environmental Site Assessment") that was conducted by Alliance Environmental Services on February 17, 199S, concluded that historical use of the land before commencement of development at the site, was undeveloped land comprised entirely of natural scrub vegetation. There was subsequent testing done on The Greens due to an old diesel storage tank that was on the property for the farming operations. The soils testing indicated that there were no significant levels of contaminants and no soils remediation would be required. No other evidence of sumps, drums, underground storage tanks, pipelines with petroleum hydrocarbons, hazardous substances, acutely hazardous materials or hazardous waste, pumps, tanks, clarifiers or septic tanks/leach fields were observed on site. Thus, Developer has identified no potential sources of pollutants from previous uses. During the construction process, Developer and its sub- contractors will use a mix of heavy equipment and vehicles di-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 10-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Villages of La Costa - La Costa Greens Neighiborhood 1.10 CT. 02-20 10.3.3 Construction Materials 10.4 Receiving Waters 10.5 Beneficial Uses typical for construction activities such as mass and finished grading, paving, trenching, homebuilding, road construction, and transport of building supplies. Operation and maintenance of this heavy equipment causes Developer to identify oil, grease and petroleum hydrocarbons as potential pollutants. Developer's BMP Sequencing Schedule (Figure 10.1) identifies all construction materials commonly used in the development process that may be potential sources of pollutants. Developer's storm water discharges to an unnamed tributary of San Marcos Creek, hydrologic unit basin number 4.51. This tributary is a non-impacted waterway that does not require testing for sedimentation/silt or turbidity. The surface water beneficial uses of the unnamed tributary of San Marcos Creek, as identified in Table 2-2 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin, are: 1. Agricultural 2. Contact Water Recreation (Recreation 1) 3. Non-Contact Water Recreation (Recreation 2) 4. Wildlife Habitat 5. Warm Freshwater Habitat 10.6 Monitoring Program for Pollutants Not Visibly Detectable in Storm Water 10.7 Analytes for Analysis Developer has developed a sampling and analysis program for pollutants not visibly detectable in storm water discharges, which are or should be known to occur on the construction site and which could cause or contribute to the exceedance of a water quality objective ("Pollutants of Concern"). Developer has identified the following as potential pollutants of concern: Petroleum hydrocarbons, gypsum and cement products, fertilizers, and pesticides. Based on the Pollutants of Concern identified above, Developer will test each discharge point and control sample for the following analytes: 1. pH 2. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) 3. Nitrates 4. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 5. Oil & Grease di-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 10-2 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Villages of La Costa - La Costa Greens Neiglibortiood 1.10 CT. 02-20 10.8 Sample Locations 10.9 Control Samples Hunsaker and Associates has identified two (2) discharge- sampling points that in their opinion fairly represent the discharge contributions of Developer's project to the greater watershed, as shown on Figure 10.2. In addition to the discharge points identified above, Hunsaker and Associates has identified five (5) up-gradient sample location and one ambient rain sample location, as shown on Figure 10.2. These control samples will be used to determine the relative contribution, if any, of Pollutants of Concern by Developer's project. 10.10 Sample Collection Grab-samples will be collected and preserved in accordance with Method 1060 of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater 20'" Edition (1998). Provided, however, that no sample shall be required if sample locations cannot be safely accessed. 10.11 Training Personnel for Sampling Developer has engaged the services of Storm Water Compliance Specialists to provide the following training program: 1. One two-hour training session for site superintendents, merchant builders and sample collectors to be conducted prior to the commencement of the rainy season each year. 2. One on-site sample collection and sample preservation field class for designated sample collectors to be conducted before the commencement of the rainy season each year. 3. Follow up visits to review sampling results with Developer management and make recommendations for modifications to BMP's or the testing program after each sampled rain event. 10.12 Sample Events Samples will be taken during the first two hours of discharge that generate runoff. Samples will be collected only from storm water discharges that occur during scheduled facility operating daylight hours and that are preceded by at least (3) three working days without storm water discharge.

Monitor weather forecasts. If the probability of rain is greater than 70% during the next 24 hours, and the forecasted storm is likely to constitute a Sampling Event, alert the sampling crews. 2. Call the Lab to see if they can pick up and analyze the samples within the 24-hour holding time. 3. Perform a comprehensive and thorough pre-storm inspection and make the observations you will need to facilitate the required sampling in a safe manner. Record your observations in the inspection log in the SWPPP. The primary purpose of this inspection is to ensure that BMPs are properly installed and maintained. 4. Make any necessary corrections, repairs, and/or revisions to the BMPs, based on inspection observations, as noted in the inspection report. 5. Ensure adequate quantities of additional BMPs are stored onsite in case they are needed during the storm to reinforce or replace installed BMPs. 6. Remember that during extended storm events, inspections shall be required each 24-hour period. 10.14 Sample Procedure Monitor weather forecasts, and alert sampling crews when the probability of rain exceeds 70% dunng the next 24 hours and is likely to create a sampling event as defined by Section 10.12 ('Sampling Event"). At the commencement of a Sampling Event, disperse sampling discharge points with sample kit provided by the environmental laboratory. Each sampling crew will collect manual grab samples. To collect the sample, place the sample container with open-end facing upstream directly into the stream of water. Be sure not to contaminate the inside of the coniainer. This will be done for each contaii lei in the kit. di-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 10-4 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Villages of La Costa - La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 CT. 02-20 10.15 Sample Analysis • Once the samples are collected, each sampling crew will complete a Chain of Custody Record (provided by the environmental laboratory) and label the sample. The information required is the name and signatures of the people collecting the sample in the field, the date and time, and location of sample. • Sample crews will then deliver the samples to the site storm water manager. The samples shall be collected and analyzed according to the specifications of the manufacturer of the sampling devices. The site storm water manager will assure delivery of the samples to the designated environmental laboratory within 24 hours of the sample collection. Developer has contracted with Storm Water Compliance Specialists to provide necessary sampling kits and perform analysis. Sampling kits will be prepared in conformity with Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater 20"" Edition (1998). All samples will be analyzed according to test procedures provided by 40 CFR Part 136. 10.16 Records and Records Maintenance All field and or laboratory analytical data information shall be kept in the SWPPP document, which is to remain at the construction site at all times until a Notice of Termination has been submitted and approved. The required forms can be found at the end of this section. All records shall be stored and made available for three (3) years. The records to be maintained will include the following: (a) Site Map with Test Locations (Figure 10.2) (b) Sample Collector Training Log di-H:\SWPPP\2352\059\Main02 .doc 10-5 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Villages of La Costa - La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 CT. 02-20 SECTION 11 MODIFICATIONS TO THE SAMPLING PROCEDURE 11.1 Modifications Developer personnel will review this procedure from time to time in conjunction with its technical experts and will revise the procedures as required. Anticipated situations, which might cause Developer to revise its SWPPP or sampling program, include but are not limited to: • Comparison of analytical results with Benchmarks derived from the San Diego Basin Plan or the Multi- Sector Industrial Permit for analytes tested; • SWPPP monitoring that indicates changes in discharge locations or pollutants of concern. 11.2 Basin Plan Benchmarks The unnamed tributary of San Marcos Creek is located in hydrologic unit basin number 4.51. The Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin ("Basin Plan") provides at Table 3-2 that the following concentrations not be exceeded more than 10% of the time during any one- year period. While Developer does not believe that table 3-2 constitutes a discharge standard or limit, it will apply these concentrations as decision-making benchmark standards. Where such standards are not available through the basin plan. Developer employs the benchmark standards set forth in the U.S. EPA Multi-Sector Industrial Permit for decision-making purposes. The applicable benchmarks are as follows. Analyte Bench Mark Concentration Reference PH 6.0-9.0 Table B U.S. EPA Multi-Sector Permit BOD 30 mg/L Table B U.S. EPA Multi-Sector Permit Nitrates (N03) 45 mg/L Basin Plan 3-10 TDS 500 mg/L Basin Plan Table 3-2 Oil and Grease 15 mg/L Table B U.S. EPA Multi-Sector Permit 11.2.1 Exceedances of Benchmark Criteria When laboratory analysis shows that a exceeds the benchmark concentration, tested analyte Developer, in DI-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 11-1 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Villages of La Costa - La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.10 CT. 02-20 conjunction with its consultants will perform a root cause analysis and prepare a Corrective Action Report (CAR) within 14 days of the receipt of the information. The root cause analysis identifying the probable causes of the exceedance and CAR describing the actions Developer will take to attempt to reduce the exceedance will be implemented within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory information. Developer will also submit copies of the analytical data, root cause analysis and CAR to the Regional Board within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory information following section B.S of the General Permit. 11.2.2 Compliance with Benchmark Data 11.3 Change of Conditions Where laboratory data for two consecutive rain events for any specific discharge point indicates that Developer's discharges at that point are below benchmarks for any analyte. Developer will cease to test for that analyte at that discharge point. However, whenever the construction activities serviced by the discharge point in question are observed to have changed Developer will re-institute testing for the full suite of analytes described above. Whenever SWPPP monitoring pursuant to Section B of the permit indicates a change in site conditions, which might affect the appropriateness of sampling points or the introduction of new pollutants of concern. Developer will review its testing protocols and revise them accordingly. Developer will record all such revisions in its SWPPP. •l-H:\SWPPP\2352\069\Main02 .doc 11-2 APPENDIXA NOTICE OF INTENT Attachment 2 state Water Resources Control Board NOTICE OF INTENT TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE GENERAL PERMIT TO DISCHARGE STORM WATER ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY (WQ ORDER No. 99-08-DWQ) NOi SIAI US (SfcE INSTRUCTIONS) MARK ONLY ONE ITEM 1.

The 1987 amendments to the CWA added Section 402(p) which estabUshes a firamework for regulating municipal and industrial storm water discharges under the NPDES Pro-am. On November 16,1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) published final regulations that estabUsh stoim water permit appUcation requirements for specified categories of industries. The regulations provide that discharges of storm water to waters of the United States fix)m construction projects that encon^ass five (5) or more acres of soil disturbance are effectively prohibited unless the discharge is in conq)Uance with an NPDES Permit Regulations (Phase E Rule) that became final on December 8,1999 expand the existing NPDES program to address storm water discharges firom construction sites that disturb land equal to or greater than one (1) acre and less than five (5) acres (small construction activity). The regulations require that small construction activity, other than tiiose regulated under an individual or Regional Water QuaUty Control Board General Permit, must be permitted no later than March 10,2003. While federal regulations allow two permitting options for storm water discharges (individual permits and General Permits), tiie SWRCB has elected to adopt only one statewide General Permit at tiiis time tiiat will apply to all storm water discharges associated witii construction activity, except firom tiiose on Tribal Lands, m tiie Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit, and tiiose performed by tiie Califomia Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Construction on Tribal Lands is regulated by an USEPA permit, flie Lahontan Regional Water Conti-ol Board adopted a separate NPDES pennit for tiie Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit, and tiie SWRCB adopted a separate NPDES permit for Caltirans projects. This General Parmit requires all dischargers where construction activity disturbs one acre or more, to: 1. Develop and implement a Storm Water PoUution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which specifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) tiiat wiU prevent aU constiuction pollutants firom contacting storm water and witii tiie intent of keqjing all products of erosion fiom moving offsite into receivinc waters. 2. Eliminate or reduce nonstorm water discharges to storm sewer systems and otiier waters of the nation. 3. Perform inspections of all BMPs. This General Permit shall be implemented and enforced by tiie nine CaUfomia Regional Water QuaUty Conti-ol Boards (RWQCBs). The General Permit accompanying tiiis fact sheet regulates storm water runoff firom constiuction sites. Regulating many storm water discharges under one permit will greatiy reduce tiie otiierwise overwhehning administi^tive burden associated witii permitting mdividual storm water discharges. Dischargers shaU submit aNotice of Intent (NOI) to obtam coverage under tiiis General Permit It is expected tiiat as tiie storm water program develops, tiie RWQCBs may issue General Permits or individual permits containing more specific permit provisions. When tiiis occurs, tiiose dischargers wiU no longer be regulated by tiiis General Permit On August 19,1999, tiie State Water Resources Contiol Board (SWRCB) reissued tiie General Constiuction Storm Water Pennit (Water QuaUty Order 99-08-DWQ refenred to as "General Pennit"). The San Francisco BayKeeper, Santa Monica BayKeeper, San Diego BayKeeper, and Orange Coast Keeper filed a petition for writ of mandate challenging tiie General Pennit in tiie Superior Court. County of Sacramento. The Court issued a judgment and writ of mandate on September 15,2000. The Court directed tiie SWRCB to modify tiie provisions of tiie General Pennit to require pennittees to implement specific samplmg and analytical procedures to detennine whetiier Best Management Practices (BMPs) unplemented on a constiuction site are: (1) preventing fiirther impainnent by sediment m storm waters discharged directiy into waters Usted as impaired for sediment or silt, and (2) preventing otiier pollutants, tiiat are known or should be known by pennittees to occur on constiuction sites and tiiat are not visually detectable in stonn water discharges, fiom causmg or contiibuting to exceedances of water quaUty objectives. The monitoring provisions m tiie General Penmt have been modified pursuant to the court order. TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION ArTTVTTY COVEPPD RY THIS GENERAL PERMIT Constiiiction activity subject to tiiis General Pennit includes clearing, grading, distiirbances to tiie ground such as stockpiling, or excavation tiiat results in soil distiirbances of at least one acre of total land area. Constmction activity tiiat results in soil distiirbances of less tiian one acre is subject to tiiis General Pennit if tiie constmction activity is part of a larger common pl^ ot • development tiiat encompasses one or more acres of soil distiirbance or if tiiere is significant water quaUty impainnent resulting from tiie activity. Constmction activity does not mclude routine mamtenance to maintain original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, or ongmal pmpose of tiie faciUty, nor does it include emergency constmction activities required to protect pubhc healtii and safety. Dischargers should confinn witii tiie local RWQCB whetiier or not a particular routine maintenance activity is subject to this General Pennit IK- A constiruction project which includes a dredge and/or fill discharge to any jurisdictional surface water (e.g., wetiand, channel, pond, or marine water) will also need a CWA Section 404 permit from tiie U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a CWA Section 401 Water C^ty Certification from tiie RWQCB/SWRCB. Storm water discharges from dredge spoil placement which occurs outside of Corps jurisdiction (upland sites) and are part of constiruction activity which distiirbs one or more acres of land are covered by tiiis general permit Prc^onents of constiuction projects which disturb one or more acres of land witiiin the jurisdictional boundaries of a CWA Section 404 pennit should contact tiie local RWQCB to detennine flie ^pUcabiUty of tiiis pennit to the project NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS It is tiie responsibiUty of the landowner to obtain coverage under this General Permit prior to commencement of constiruction activities. To obtain coverage, the landowner must file an NOI with a vicmity m^ and tiie appropriate fee with tiie SWRCB. In addition, coverage under this pennit shall not occur until tiie appUcant develops an adequate SWPPP for tiie project. Section A of the General Pennit outiines the required contents of a SWPPP. For proposed constiuction activity on easements or on nearby property by agreement or permission, the entity responsible for tiie constiruction activity shaU file an NOI and filing fee and shaU be responsible for development of tiie SWPPP, aU of which must occur prior to commencement of constiuction activities. A separate NOI shaU be submitted to tiie SWRCB for each constiruction site. Owners of new constmction shaU file an NOI prior to the commencement of construction. Owners of an ongoing constmction site tiiat is covered under the previous Greneral Constiruction Pennit (WQ Order No.92-08-DWQ) (1) shaU continue to implement tiieir existing SWPPP and monitoring program and (2) shall implement any necessary revisions to tiieir SWPPP in a timely manner but in no case later than 90-calender days fixim adoption of tins General Permit in accordance witii Section A of this General Permit The NOI requirements of the General Permit are intended to establish a mechanism which can be used to clearly identify tiie responsible parties, locations, and scope of operations of dischargers covered by tiie General Pennit and to document tiie discharger's knowledge of the requirements for a SWPPP. The NOI must be sent to the foUowing address: State Water Resources Control Board Division of Water (JuaUty Storm Water Permit Unit P.O. Box 1977 Sacramento, CA 95812-1977 The current annual fee for this Greneral Permit is $700. When constiruction is complete or ownership has been tiransferred, dischargers shall file a Notice of termioation with the RWQCB certifying tiiat aU State and local requirements have been met in accordance witii Special Provisions for Constiruction Activity, C.7, of tiie General Permit. Dischargers who fail to obtain coverage under this General Pennit for storm water discharges to surface waters will be in violation of tiie CWA and tiie Califomia Water Code. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY NOT COVERED BY THIS GENERAL PERMIT This General Permit does not apply to storm water discharges from (1) those areas on Tribal Lands; (2) the Lake Tahoe Hy(frologic Umt; (3) constmction under one acre, unless part of a larger common plan of development or sale; (4) projects covered by an individual NPDES Permit for storm water discharges associated with constmction activity; and (5) landfill constmction that is subject to the general industrial permit Storm water discharges in the Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit are regulated by a separate permit(s) adopted by the Califonua Regional Water C^tiality Contirol Board, Lahontan Region (LRWQCB). USEPA regulates storm water discharges on Tribal Lands. Permit appUcations for storm water discharges that wiU be conducted in tiie Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit must be submitted directly to tiie LRWQCB. DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL PERMIT CONDITIONS The foUowing is a brief description of the major provisions of the General Pennit and the basis for the General Permit. Prohibitions This General Permit authorizes tiie discharge of storm water to surface waters from constmction activities that result in the disturbance of one or more acres of land. It prohibits the discharge of materials other than storm water and authorized non-storm water discharges and all discharges which contain a hazardous substance in excess of reportable quantities estabUshed at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 117.3 or 40 CFR 302.4 unless a separate NPDES Pennit has been issued to regulate those discharges. In addition, this General Pennit contains provisions that uphold discharge prohibitions contained in water quaUty control plans, as implemented through tiie nine RWQCBs. Effluent Limitations Permits for storm water discharges associated with constmction activity shaU meet all appUcable provisions of Sections 301 and 402 of tiie CWA. These provisions require conti-ols of pollutant discharges that utilize best available technology economically achievable (BAT) and best conventional poUutant control technology (BCT) to reduce poUutants and any more stringent contiols necessary to meet water quality standards. It is not feasible at tiiis time for tiie SWRCB to establish numeric effluent Umitations. The reasons why it is not feasible to establish numeric effluent Umitations are discussed in detail in SWRCB Order Nos. WQ 91-03 and WQ 91-04. Therefore, tiie effluent Umitations contained in this General Permit are narrative and include the requirement to implement appropriate BMPs. The BMPs shaU primarily emphasize source contiols such as erosion control and poUution prevention metiiods. The discharger shall also instaU stiiictiiral contirols, as necessary, such as sediment conti-ol which will constitiite BAT and BCT and wiU achieve compUance with water quaUty standards. The nanrative effluent Umitations constitiite compUance witii tiie requirements of tiie CWA. EUmination or reduction of nonstorm water disdiarges is a major goal of tiiis General Permit Nonstorm water discharges include a wide variety of sources, including inproper dumping, spiUs, or leakage fi^m stomge tanks or tiransfer areas. Nonstorm water discharges may contiibute a significant poUutant load to receiving waters. Measures to contirol spiUs, leakage, and dumping and to prevent ilUcit connections during constiruction shaU be addressed tiirough stmctural as weU as non-stmctural BMPs. This General Permit prohibits tiie discharge of materials otiier tiian storm water and autiiorized nonstorm water discharges. It is recognized that certam nonstorm water discharges may be riecessaty for tiie conqiletion of constmction projects. Such discharges include, but are not limited to irrigation of vegetative erosion control measures, pipe flushing and testing, stieet cleanmg, and dewatering. Such discharges are allowed by tins General Permit provided tiiey are not reUed upon to clean up failed or inadequate constiruction or post-constiruction BMPs designed to keep materials onsite. These autiiorized nonstorm water discharges shall (1) be infeasible to eUminate, (2) comply witii BMPs as described in flie SWPPP, and (3) not cause or contiibute to a violation of water quaUty standards. AdditionaUy, these discharges may be required to be pennitted by tiie local RWQCB (e.g., some RWQCBs have adopted General Pennits for dewatering discharges). This General Pennit is perfonnance-based to tiie extent tiiat it prohibits tiie discharge of storm water that cavses or threatens to cause poUution, contamination, or nuisance; but it also aUows the owner/developer to determine the most economical, effective, and possibly innovative BMPs. The requirements of this General Permit are intended to be iniplemented on a year-round basis, not just during tiie part of tiie year when there is a high probabiUty of a precipitation event which results in storm water nmoff. The pennit should be implemented at the appropriate level and in a proactive manner during all seasons while constmction is ongoing. Weather and storm predictions or weather information concerning the 10-year, 6-hour storm event and mean annual rainfall can be obtained by calling the Westem Regional CUmate Center at 775-674-7010 or via the intemet at www.wrcc.dri.edu/precipJitml and/or www.wrcc.dri.edu/pcpnfreq.html. Receiving Water Limitations Language The receiving water limitations language is fimdamentally dijBferent from tiie language adopted in tiie SWRCB General Industidal Activities Storm Water Permit on April 17,1997. Constiuction related activities which cause or contiibute to an exceedance of water quaUty standards must be corrected unmediately and cannot wait for tiie RWQCB to approve a plan of action to conect The dynamic nature of constiruction activity allows tiiie discharger tiie abiUty to more quickly identify and correct tiie source of tiie exceedances. Therefore, tiie owner is required to take immediate conective action and to provide a report to tiie appropriate RWQCB within 14-calendar days of the violation describing tiie corrective action. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) This General Permit requires development and implementation of a SWPPP. This document emphasizes tiie use of appropriately selected, conectiy instaUed and maintained poUutioii reduction BMPs. This approach provides tiie flexibiUty necessary to estabUsh BMPs which can effectively address source control of poUutants during changing constiruction activities. All dischargers shaU prepare and implement a SWPPP prior to dishirbing a site. The SWPPP must be Unplemented at tiie appropriate level to protect water quaUty at all times tinroughout tiie life of tiie project Nonstorm water BMPs must be implemented year round. The SWPPP shall remain on tiie site while tiie site is under constiruction, commencing witii tiie initial mobiUzation and ending with tiie termination of coverage imder the permit The SWPPP has two major objectives: (1) to help identify tiie sources of sediment and otiier pollutants tiiat affect tiie quality of storm water discharges and (2) to describe and ensure tiie implementation of BMPs to reduce or eUminate sediment and other pollutants in stonn water as weU as nonstonn water discharges. The SWPPP shaU include BMPs which address source conti-ol and, if necessary, shaU also include BMPs which address poUutant contirol. Required elements of a SWPPP include: (1) site description addressing tiie elements and characteristics specific to tiie site, (2) descriptions of BMPs for erosion and sediment contiols, (3) BMPs for constiixction waste handling and disposal, (4) nnplementation of approved local plans, (5) proposed post-constiruction contirols, including description of local post-constiiiction erosion and sediment contirol requirements, and (6) nonstorm water management. To ensure tiiat tiie preparation, implementation, and oversight of tiie SWPPP is sufficient for effective poUution prevention, individuals responsible for creating, revising, overseeing, and implementing tiae SWPPP should participate in applicable tiraining programs and document such tiraining in tiie SWPPP. SWPPPs are reports tiiat are available to tiie pubUc under Section 308(b) of tiie CWA and wUl be made avaUable by tiie RWQCB upon request. Monitoring Program Another maior feature of the General Pennit is tiie development and implementation of a ^ monitoring iprogram. All dischargers are required to conduct inspections of tiie constiruction site prior to anticipated storm events and after actiial storm events. During extended storm evaits, inspections must be made during each 24-hour period. The goals of tiiese inspections are (1) to identify areas contiibuting to a storm water discharge; (2) to evaluate whetiier measures to reduc^ poUutant loadings identified in tiie SWPPP are adequate and properly instaUed and fimctioning in accordance witii ttie terms of tiie General Pennit; and (3) whetiier additional control practices or corrective maintenance activities are needed. Equipment, materials, and workers must be available for rapid response to faUures and emergencies. AU corrective maintenance to BMPs shall be perfonned as soon as possible, dependmg upon worker safety. Each discharger shaU certify annually that tiie constiruction activities are in conpUance witii flie requirements of tiiis General Pennit Dischargers who cannot certify annual compUance shall notify tiie appropriate RWQCB. A weU-developed monitoring program wiU provide a good method for checking tiie effectiveness of tiie SWPPP. Retention of Records The discharger is required to retain records of aU monitoring mformation, copies of all reports required by tiiis General Permit, and records of aU data used to complete the NOI for all constiuction activities to be covered by the General Permit for a period of at least fliree years from tiie date generated. This period may be extended by request of tiie SWRCB and/or RWQCB. With tiie exception of reporting noncompUance to the appropriate RWQCB, dischargers are not required to submit tiie records, except upon specific request by the RWQCB. STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD (SWRCB ) ORDER NO. 99 - 08 - DWQ NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) GENERAL PERMIT NO. CAS000002 WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS (WDRS) FOR DISCHARGES OF STORM WATER RUNOFF ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY The State Water Resources Control Board finds that 1. Federal regulations for contirolUng pollutants in storm water runoff discharges were promulgated by the U.S. En-viromnental Protection Agency (USEPA) on November 16,1990 (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 122,123, and 124). The regulations require discharges of storm water to surface waters associated with constmction activity including clearing, gradmg, and excavation activities (except operations that result in disturbance of less than five acres of total land area and which are not part of a larger common plan of development or sale) to obtain an NPDES pennit and to implement Best Available Technology EconomicaUy Achievable (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Contiol Technology (BCT) to reduce or eliminate storm water poUution. On December 8, 1999 federal regulations promulgated by USEPA (40CFR Parts 9,122,123, and 124) expanded the NPDES storm water program to mclude storm water discharges from mimicipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and constmction sites that were smaUer than those previously included in the program. Federal regulation 40 CFR § 122.26(b)(15) defines smaU constmction activity as including clearing, grading, and excavating that result in land disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre or less than five acres or is part of a larger common plan of development or sale. Permit appUcations for small constmction activities are due by March 10,2003. 2. This General Permit regulates pollutants in discharges of storm water associated witii constmction activity (storm water discharges) to surface waters, except from those areas on Tribal Lands; Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit; constiruction projects which disturb less than one acre, unless part of a larger common plan of development or sale; and storm water discharges which are determined ineUgible for coverage imder this General Permit by tiie Califomia Regional Water Quality Contirol Boards (RWQCBs). Attachment 1 contains addresses and telephone numbers of each RWQCB office. 3. This General Permit does not preempt or supersede the authority of local storm water management agencies to prohibit, restiict or control storm water discharges to separate storm sewer systems or other watercourses within their jurisdiction, as aUowed by State and Federal law. 4. To obtain aufliorization for proposed storm water discharges ti> surface waters, pursuant to fliis General Permit, tiie landowner (discharger) must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) witii a vicinity map and tiie appropriate fee to tiie SWRCB prior to commencement of constiuction activities. In addition, coverage under tiiis General Pennit shaU not occur until flie appUcant develops a Storm Water PoUution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance wifli tiie requirements of Section A of tiiis permit for tiie project For proposed constiruction activity conducted on easements or on nearby property by agreement or permission, or by an owner or lessee of a mineral estate (oil, gas, geotiiennal, aggregate, precious metals, and/or industiial minerals) entitied to conduct tiie activities, tiie entity responsible for tiie constiuction activity must submit tiie NOI and fiUng fee and shaU be responsible for development of the SWPPP. 5. If an individual NPDES Permit is issued to a discharger oflierwise subject to fliis General Permit or if an alternative General Permit is subsequently adopted which covers storm water discharges regulated by tius General Permit, tiie applicabUity of tiiis General Permit to such discharges is automatically termmated on tiie effective date of the individual permit or the date of approval for coverage under the subsequent General Permit 6. This action to adopt an NPDES pennit is exempt from tiie provisions of flie Califomia Environmental (JuaUty Act (Public Resources Code Section 21100, et seq.) in accordance witii section 133 89 of flie CaUfomia Water Code. 7. The SWRCB adopted the CaUfomia Ocean Plan, and tiie RWQCBs have adopted and flie SWR.CB has approved Water QuaUty Contirol Plans (Basin Plans). Dischargers regulated by this General Permit must comply witii the water quaUty standards in fliese Basin Plans and subsequent amendments thereto. 8. The SWRCB finds storm water discharges associated with constiruction activity to be a potential significant sources of pollutants. Furthermore, flie SWRCB finds tiiat storm water discharges associated with constiruction activities have tiie reasonable potential to cause or contiibute to an excursion above water quaUty standards for sediment in tiie water bodies listed in Attachment 3 to this permit 9. It is not feasible at this time to estabUsh numeric effluent limitations for poUutants in storm water discharges from constiuction activities. Instead, tiie provisions of this General Permit require implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control and abate the discharge of pollutants in storm water discharges. 10. Discharges of non-storm water may be necessary for the completion of certain constiruction projects. Such discharges include, but are not Umited to: irrigation of vegetative erosion control measures, pipe flushing and testing, street cleaning, and dewatering. Such discharges are autiiorized by this General Permit as long as tiiey (a) do comply witii Section A.9 of this General Permit, (b) do not cause or contiibute to . »v.»-...iN/ii wxijf »yu.i,wi t^uauiy aiouuttiu, \y) uu uui viuiaic any ouier provision oi uus General Pennit, (d) do not require a non-storm water permit as issued by some RWQCBs, and (e) are not prohibited by a Basin Plan. If a non-storm water discharge is subject to a separate permit adopted by a RWQCB, the discharge must additionally be autiiorized by flie RWQCB permit 11. FoUowrag adoption of this General Permit, the RWQCBs shall enforce the provisions herein including the monitoring and reporting requirements. 12. FoUowing pubUc notice in accordance with State and Federal laws and regulations, the SWRCB in a pubUc meetmg on June 8,1998, heard and considered all comments. The SWRCB has prepared written responses to all significant comments. 13. This Order is an NPDES pennit in compUance with section 402 of tiie Clean Water Act (CWA) and shaU take effect upon adoption by the SWRCB provided the Regional Administrator of the USEPA has no objectiorL ff the USEPA Regional Administrator objects to its issuance, the General Permit shaU not become effective untU such objection is withdrawn. 14. This General Permit does not authorize discharges of fiU or dredged material regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under CWA section 404 and does not constitute a waiver of water quaUty certification under CWA section 401. 15 The Monitoring Program and Reporting Requirements are modified in compUance with a judgment in the case of San Francisco BayKeeper. et al. v. State Water Resources Conti-ol Board. The modifications include sampling and analysis requirements for direct discharges of sediment to waters impaired due to sediment and for pollutants that are not visually detectable in runoff that may cause or contribute to an exceedance of water quaUty objectives. 16 Storm water discharges associated witii industrial activity that are owned or operated by mxmicipaUties serving populations less than 100,000 people are no longer exempt from the need to apply for or obtain a storm water discharge permit A temporary exemption, which was later extended by USEPA, was provided under section 1068(c) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. Federal regulation 40 CFR § 122.26(e)(l)(U) requires tiie above municipalities to submit permit appUcation by March 10,2003. 17 This pennit may be reopened and modified to include different monitoring requirements for small constmction activity than for construction activity over five (5) acres.

IS AYE: NO: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: James M. Stubchaer Mary Jane Forster John W. Brown Arthur G. Baggett, Jr. None None None JsL Maureen Marche Admiiuistrative Assistant to the Board SECTION A: STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 1. Objectives A Storm Water PoUution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shaU be developed and implemented to address the specific circumstances for each constmction site covered by this General Permit The SWPPP shall be certified in accordance with the signatory requirements of section C, Standard Provision for Constiruction Activities (9). The SWPPP shaU be developed and amended or revised, when necessary, to meet the foUowing objectives: a. Identify aU pollutant sources including sources of sediment that may affect the quality of storm water discharges associated with constmction activity (storm water discharges) from the constiuction site, and b. Identify non-storm water discharges, and c. Identify, constmct, implement in accordance with a time schedule, and maintain Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized nonstorm water discharges from the constmction site during constmction, and d. Develop a maintenance schedule for BMPs installed during constmction designed to reduce or elimmate poUutants after constmction is completed (post- constmction BMPs). e. Identify a sampling and analysis sfrategy and sampling schedule for discharges from constmction activity which discharge directiy into water bodies listed on Attachment 3. (Clean Water Act Section 303(d) [303(d)] Water Bodies Usted for Sedimentation). f For aU constmction activity, identify a sampling and analysis stiategy and sampUng schedule for discharges that have been discovered tiirough visual monitoring to be potentiaUy contaminated by pollutants not -visuaUy detectable in . the runoff. Implementation Schedule a. For constmction activity commencing on or after adoption of this General Permit tiie SWPPP shall be developed prior to the start of soU-disturbing activity in accordance with this Section and shaU be implemented concurrentiy with commencement of soil-disturbing activities. b. Existing pennittees engaging in constiuction activities covered tmder the terms of tiie previous General Constiuction Pennit SWPPP (WQ Order No.92-08-DWQ) shaU continue to implement tiieir existing SWPPP and shaU implement any necessary revisions to tiieir SWPPP in accordance witii tins Section of tiie General Permit in a timely manner, but in no case more than 90-calender days from the date of adoption of tiiis General Permit c. For ongoing constiuction activity involving a change of ownership of property, tiie new owner shaU review flie existing SWPPP and amend if necessary, or develop a new SWPPP witiim 45-calender days. d. Existing permittees shall revise tiieir SWPPP in accordance witii tiie sampUng and analysis modifications prior to August 1,2001. For ongoing constiuction activity involving a change of ownership the new owner shall review the existing SWPPP and amend flie sampUng and analysis strategy, if required, within 45 days. For constiuction activity commencing after tiie date of adoption, tiie SWPPP shaU be developed in accordance with the modification language adopted. 3. AvailabUitv The SWPPP shaU remain on tiie constiuction site while tiie site is under constiuction duriiig working hours, commencing with the initial constiuction activity and ending with termination of coverage under the General Permit 4. Required Chanp;eR a. The discharger shaU amend tiie SWPPP whenever there is a change in constiruction or operations which may affect the discharge of pollutants to surface waters, ground waters, or a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). The SWPPP shall also be amended if the discharger violates any condition of this General Permit or has not achieved the general objective of reducing or eUminating poUutants in storm water discharges. If the RWQCB determines tiiat the discharger is in violation of this General Permit, the SWPPP shaU be amended and implemented in a timely manner, but in no case more than 14-calendar days after notification by the RWQCB. All amendments should be dated and directiy attached to tiie SWPPP. b. The RWQCB or local agencty with tiie concurrence of tiie RWQCB may require the discharger to amend tiie SWPPP. 5. Source Identification The SWPPP shall include: (a) project mformation and (b) poUutant source identification combined with an itemization of tiiose BMPs specifically chosen to confrol the pollutants listed. a. Project Infonnation 10 (1) The SWPPP shall include a vicinity map locating tiie project site witii respect to easily identifiable major roadways, geographic features, or landmarks.

(c) Temporary on-site drainages to cany concentrated flow shall be selected to comply with local ordinances, to contiol erosion, to return flows to thefr natural drainage courses, and to prevent damage to downsfream properties. 3. Information pres6nted in the SWPPP may be represented either by nanrative or by graphics. Where possible, nanative descriptions should be plan notes. Nanrative descriptions which do not lend themselves to plan notes can be contained in a separate document which must be referenced on the plan. b. Pollutant Source and BMP Identification The SWPPP shall include a description of potential sources which are Ukely to add pollutants to storm water discharges or which may result in nonstorm water discharges from the constmction site. Discharges originating from off-site which flow across or through areas disturbed by constmction tiiat may contain pollutants should be reported to tiie RWQCB. The SWPPP shaU: 11 (1) Show drainage pattems and slopes anticipated after major grading activities are completed.

(8) Show tiie locations designated for samplmg tiie discharge from areas identified in Section A. 5. b. (2), (3), and (4) and Section A. 5. c. (1) and (2). Samples shaU be taken should visual monitoring indicate tiiat tiiere has been a breach, malfimction, leakage, or spiU from a BMP which could result in the discharge m storm water of pollutants that would not be visually detectable, or if storm water comes into contact with soU amendments or other exposed materials or contammation and is allowed to be discharged. Describe the sampling procedure, location, and rationale for obtaining the uncontammated sample of storm water. Additional Information (1) The SWPPP shall include a narrative description of pollutant sources and BMPs that cannot be adequately communicated or identified on the site map. In addition, a nanative description of preconstmction control practices (if any) to reduce sedunent and other pollutants in storm water discharges shaU be included. (2) The SWPPP shall include an inventory of aU materials used and activities performed during constmction tiiat have tiie potential to contiibute to the discharge of poUutants otiier than sediment in storm water. Describe tiie BMPs selected and titie basis for tiiefr selection to eUminate or reduce these pollutants in the storm water discharges. (3) The SWPPP shall include tiie foUowmg information regarding tiie constmction site surface area: the size (in acres or square feet), the runoff coefficient before and after constiuction, and tiie percentage tiiat is impervious (e.g., paved, roofed, etc.) before and after constmction. (4) The SWPPP shaU include a copy of tiie NOI, and tiie Waste Discharge Identification (WDID) number. Should a WDID number not be received from the SWRCB at tiie time constiuction commences, tiie discharger shaU include proof of maiUng of flie NOI, e.g., certified mail receipt, copy of check, express maU receipt, etc. (5) The SWPPP shaU include a constiuction activity schedule which describes aU major activities such as mass grading, paving, lot or parcel 13 improvements at the site and the proposed time frame to conduct those activities. (6) The SWPPP shall list the name and telephone number of the qualified person(s) who have been assigned responsibiUty for prestorm, poststorm, and storm event BMP inspections; and the quaUfied person(s) assigned responsibiUty to ensure fiill conqiUance wifri the permit and implementation of all elements of the SWPPP, including the preparation of the aimual compUance evaluation and the elimination of aU unauthorized discharges. 6. Erosion Control Erosion contirol, also referred to as *'soU stabiUzation" is the most effective way to retain soU and sediment on the constiuction site. The most efflcient way to address erosion contirol is to preserve existing vegetation where feasible, to Umit disturbance, and to stabilize and revegetate disturbed areas as soon as possible after graduig or constiuctioa Particular attention must be paid to large mass-graded sites where the potential for soU exposure to tiie erosive effects of ramfaU and wind is great. Mass graded constmction sites may be ejcposed for several years while tiie project is being buih out Thus, there is potential for significant sediment discharge from the site to surface waters. At a minimum, the discharger/operator must implement an effective combination of erosion and sediment control on aU disturbed areas during the raiuy season. These disturbed areas include rough graded roadways, slopes, and bmlding pads. UntU permanent vegetation is established, soU cover is the most cost-effective and expeditious metiiod to protect soU particles firom detachment and transport by rainfaU. Temporary soU stabilization can be the single-most iniportant fector in reducing erosion at constmction sites. The discharger shaU consider measures such as: covering-with mulch, temporaty seeding, soU stabiUzers, bmders, fiber rolls or blankets, teniporary vegetation, permanent seeding, and a variety of other measures. The SWPPP shall include a descr^tion of the erosion confrol practices, including a time schedule, to be implemented during constiuction to minimize erosion on disturbed areas of a constmction site. The discharger must consider the fuU range of erosion confrol BMPs. The discharger must consider any additional site-specific and seasonal conditions when selecting and implementing appropriate BMPs. The above Usted erosion contirol measures are exaniples of what should be considered and are not exclusive of new or innovative approaches ctinrentiy avaUable or befrig developed. a. The SWPPP shall include: 14 (1) An outiine of the areas of vegetative soil cover or native vegetation onsite which wiU remain undisturbed during the constmction project. (2) An outline of all areas of soU disturbance including cut or fiU areas which will be stabilized during the rainy season by temporary or permanent erbsion contiol measures, such as seeding, mulch, or blankets, etc. (3) An outUne of tiie areas of soU disturbance, cut, or fiU which wiU be left exposed during any part of the rainy season, representing areas of potential soU erosion where sediment conttol BMPs are requfred to be used during constmction (4) A proposed schedule for the implementation of erosion confrol measures. The SWPPP shall include a description of tiie BMPs and control practices to be used for both temporaty and permanent erosion confrol measures. The SWPPP shaU include a description of the BMPs to reduce wind erosion at all times, with particular attention paid to stock-pUed materials. StabUization (1) AU disturbed areas of the constmction site must be stabiUzed. Final StabiUzation for the purposes of submitting a NOT is satisfied when: ^AU soil disturbing activities are completed AND EITHER OF THE TWO FOLLOWING CRTTERL^ ARE MET: -A imiform vegetative cover with 70 percent coverage has been estabUshed OR: -equivalent stabiUzation measures have been employed. These measures include the use of such BMPs as blankets, reinforced channel liners, soil cement, fiber matrices, geotextiles, or other erosion resistant soU coverings or tieatments. (2) Where background native vegetation covers less than 100 percent of the surface, such as in arid areas, the 70 percent coverage criteria is adjusted as follows: If the native vegetation covers 50 percent of the ground siuface, 70 percent of 50 percent (.70 X .50=.35) would require 35 percent total uniform surfece coverage. 8. Sediment Contiol 15 The SWPPP shall include a description or illustiration of BMPs which-wUl be implemented to prevent a net increase of sediment load in stiinn water discharge relative to preconstruction levels. Sedunent confrol BMPs are requfred at appropriate locations aloiig tiie site perimeter and at all operational intemal inlets to tiie storm drain system at all limes during flie rainy season. Sediment contirol practices may include filtration devices and baniers (such as fiber roUs, sUt fence, sti^w bale barriers, and gravel mlet filtars) and/or settUng devices (such as sedunent hraps or basins). Effective filtration devices, barriers, and settUng devices shaU be selected, mstaUed and maintained properly. A proposed schedule for deployment of sediment confrol BMPs shaU be included in tiie SWPPP. These are tiie most basic measures to prevent sediment from leaving tiie project site and moving mto receiving waters. Limited exemptions may be autiiorized by tiie RWQCB when work on active areas precludes the use of sedimmt control BMPs temporarUy. Under tiiese conditions, tiie SWPPP must describe a plan to estabUsh perimeter confrols prior to the onset of rain. During flie nonrainy season, the discharger is responsible for ensuring that adequate se(Ument control materials are avaUable to confrol sediment discharges at the downgrade periineter and operational inlets in tiie event of a predicted storm The discharger shall consider a fuU range of sedunent confrols, in addition to tiie confrols Usted above, such as sti^w bale dUces, earth dUces, brush barriers, drainage swales, check dams, subsurface drain,sandbagdikes, fiber roUs, or otiier contiols. At a minimum, the discharger/operator must inqilement an effective combination of erosion and sediment confrol on all disturbed areas during the rainy season. If the discharger chooses to rely on sediment basins for freatinent purposes, sediment basms shall, at a minimum, be designed and maintaiTied as follows: Option 1: Pursuant to local ordinance for sediment basin design and maintenance, pro-vdded that the design efSciency is as protective or more protective of water quaUty than Option 3. OR Option 2: Sediment basin(s), as measured firom the bottom of tiie basin to the principal outiet, shall have at least a capacity equivalent to 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre draining mto the sediment basfru The lengtii of the basin shaU be more than twice the width of the basin. The length is determined by measuring the distance between the inlet and the outiet; and the depth must not be less tiian tiiree feet nor greater flian five feet for safety reasons and for maximum efficiency. OR Option 3: Sediment basin(s) shaU be designed usmg tiie standard equation: 16 As=1.2Q/Vs Where: As is the minimum surface area for trapping soU particles of a certain size; Vs is the settUng velocity of the design particle size chosen; and Q=C x 1 x A where Q is the discharge rate measured in cubic feet per seicond; C is the runoff coefficient; I is the precipitation intensity for the 10-year, 6-hour rain event and A is the area draining into the sediment basin in acres. The design particle size shaU be the smaUest soil grain size determined by wet sieve analysis, or the fine sUt sized (0.01mm) particle, and the Vs used shall be 100 percent of the calculated settling velocity. The length is determined by measuring the distance between the inlet and the outiet; the lengtii shaU be more than twice the dimension as the width; the depth shall not be less than three feet nor greater than five feet for safety reasons and for maximum efficiency (two feet of storage, two feet of capacity). The basin(s) shall be located on the site where it can be maintiuned on a year-roimd basis and shall be maintained on a schedule to retain the two feet of capacity; OR Option 4: The use of an eqmvalent surface area design or equation, provided that the design efficiency is as protective or more protective of water quality than Option 3. A sediment basin shall have a means for dewatering within 7-calendar days following a storm event Sediment basins may be fenced if safety (worker or pubUc) is a concem. The outflow from a sediment basui that discharges into a natural drainage shall be provided witii outiet protection to prevent erosion and scour of the embankment and channel. The discharger must consider any additional site-specific and seasonal conditions when selecting and designing sediment conttol BMPs. The above Usted sediment conttol measures are examples of what should be considered and are not exclusive of new or mnovative approaches cunentiy available or bemg developed. The SWPPP shall include a description of tiie BMPs to reduce the ttacking of sediment onto pubUc or private roads at all times. These pubUc and private roads shall be inspected and cleaned as necessaty. Road cleaning BMPs shall be discussed in the SWPPP and wiU not rely on the washing of accumulated sediment or silt into the storm drain system. Non-Storm Water Management 17 Describe aU non-storm water discharges to receiving waters tiiat are proposed for flie constiuction project Non-storm water discharges should be eUniinated or reduced to flie extent feasible. Include tiie locations of such discharges and descriptions of all BMPs designed for tiie conttol of poUutants m such discharges.

Simple things you can do in and around your new home to protect and preserve dean water. congratulations on the purchase of your new home! As you begin to work on making your new house your home, California's home builders want to remind you of the important role you can play in protecting and preserving our state's valuable water resources http://www.cbia.org/nhwb.html 12/7/00 and environment. How you perform the special and routine activities designed to maintain the beauty and comfort of your home - from painting a room to caring for your lawn and garden - can have a significant impact on the quality of Cahfornia's water resources and the region's environment. When your home was built, (extensive precautions were taken by home builders to prevent the local creeks, streams, and waterways from being polluted by water runoff and debris at the construction site. The low plastic fences and hay bales you may have seen in the construction areas represent the types of environmental management measures used to hmit erosion and storm water runoff. Now it is your turn. Here are several simple suggestions for you to follow to do your part in keeping water clean for your community and the environment. 4 did you Icnow. The activities you carry out around yom* home could affect local streams, rivers, and lakes even lliough you may live miles away from those types of wildlife areas. Water from a garden hose or a storm can carry automotive and household materials, such as motor oil, fertilizers, household deaners, and garbage, to local streams, rivers, and lakes through a storm drain. One quart of motor oil spilled down a storm drain can contaminate 250,000 gallons of water. Lawn clippings and other yard waste deposited in storm drains can affect water quality of creeks and streams. Over-application of fertilizer can wash down into a storm drain and enter creeks and streams making algae grow, which deprives fish of oxygen. Over-watering lawns can cause soil erosion that could eventually obstruct flood control channels and create seepage problems for your neighbors. Plus, it's a waste of water. what you can do http://www.cbia.org/nhwb.html 12/7/00 to help keep the water clean... ...and preserve the environment. Properly use and store all toxic products, including solvents, paints and deaners. Use completely paint deaners and other products or share leftovers with a neighbor. Take household hazardous materials containers, sudi as pestiddes and used motor oil to a hazardous material coUection center. Contact the Ck)unty for the nearest location. Use kitty litter or other absorbent materials to dean spillsj rather than hosing down spills. Depending on the substance, dispose used absorbent materials in the trash can or at a hazardous materials collection center. Rinse water-based paint brushes in the sink Filter and reuse paint thinner or brush deaners. Dispose of used thinner, oil and latex paint at a hazardous materials collection center. Use pestiddes, herbicides and fertilizers in accordance with label instructions. Do not apply before rain and always dispose of leftovers at a hazardous materials collections center. Control erosion during landscaping projects to prevent dirt and debris from entering storm drains. Conserve water by using landscaping materials that are suited to your dimate. ^Throw all rubbish in tightly sealed trash cans. *Recyde reusable materials, but be sure materials won't blow out of the recyding bin before they are collected. Fide up and properly dispose of litter in your neighborhood. Use a broom rather than a hose to dean up garden dippings. Put leaves and dippings in a trash can or a compost pile. Divert rain spouts and garden hoses away from paved surfaces and onto grass to allow water to filter through the soU. Program your watering sj^tem to water less during the rainy season, and remember to turn the sprinklers off on expected rainy days. http://www.cbia.org/iihwb.html 12/7/00 ' Conserve water when washing your car. Wash engines at a 'Do it Yourself Car Wash' where the drainage is not connected 0 the storm drain. Pidc up animal waste and dispose in the trash can. Californians measure their quality of life by the homes they live in, the communities they work and reside in, and the natural environment th^ rest and recreate in. As a Califomia home builder, we've gone to great lengths to protect the environment during the construction of your new home. We would like to thank you for doing your part in maintaining a quality of life we can all be proud of for generations to come.

Several activities that you do at your home have the potential to pollute runoff. Potential pollutants firom homes include oU, grease and other petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, litter and debris, animal wastes, solvents, paint and masonry wastes, detergents and other cleaning solutions, and pesticides and fertilizers. How you manage your home impacts the ocean, even if you Uve several miles firom the beach. Everyfliing tbat exits your property will eventaally run into tbe ocean. The sources of residential pollutants include household toxics, litter and debris, and runoff firom car washing, pool and spa care, lawn maintenance and on-site domestic sewage treatment systems.. Household Toxics P^sticldss 2nd Fertilizers It is very important to properly manage and dispose of household toxics to keep your family safe and to prevent pollutants to runoff. Did you know that oil and grease firom automotive maintenance; paint, masonry and cleaning wastes firom home repairs and maintenance; pesticides and fertilizers firom garden care are all considered household toxics? Oil and grease wastes firom leaking car engines and maintenance and repair activities may contain a wide variety of toxic hydrocarbon compounds and metals at varying concentrations, and that exposuremay be toxic to aquatic plants and organisms. Other wastes may be poured into storm drains or pollute runoff firom maintenance activities conducted by homeowners, including paint and masonry wastes, solvents, detergents firom car wash activities, residues fi-om carpet cleaning and pool and spa care. Call the Household Toxics Hotiine, (800) 246-1233, for firee disposal options available in your area. Improper disposal of household toxics into stormwater can endanger aquatic habitat. Hor example, using excessive amounts of pesticides and fertihzers during landscape maint^ance can contribute nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and toxic organic substances, such as organophosphates and carbamates, into stormwater. Toxic materials can damage aquatic life and nutiients can result in excessive algae growth in waterways, leading to cloudiness and a reduced level of dissolved oxygen available to http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/deh/stonnwater/residential.html 12/5/00 aquatic Ufe. And unionized ammonia (nitrogen form) can kill fish. Utter and Debris It is also important to properly disposal of Utter and debris, including cigarette butts and green waste (leaves and grass cUppings fi-om landscape maintenance activities). Decaying organic matter reduces tbe amount of dissolved oxygen available to aquatic life. Litter and debris can plug up storm drains and reduce the aestiietic quaUty ofthe receiving waters Human pathogens Human pathogens (bacteria, parasites and viruses) can also pollute run off! Common sources of human pathogens are improperly managed pet wastes and on-site domestic sewage treatment systems. High levels of coUform bacteria in stormwater, which are used as an indicator of fecal contamination and the potential presence of pathogens, may eventually contaminate waterways and lead to beach closures. Decomposition of pet wastes discharged to receiving waters also demand a high level of oxygen, which reduces tiie amount of dissolved oxygen available to aquatic Ufe. You can help control runoff pollution by doing the following: • Do not dispose of Uquids or other materials to the storm drain system • Report illegal dumping of any substance (Uquids, trash, household toxics) to the County's toll fi-ee, 24-hour hotiine 1-888-846-0800 • UtiUze tiie County Household Toxics Program at (800) 246-1233, for disposal of household toxics • Keep lawn clippings and other landscaping waste out of gutters and streets by placing it with trash for coUection or by composting it • Clean up and properly dispose of pet waste. It is best to flush pet waste. Alternatives to flushing are placing into trash or burying it in your yard (at least 3-ft deep). • Observe parking restriction for street sweepmg. • Wash automobiles at car washes or on pervious surfaces (lawns) to keep wash water out of the storm drain system. • Avoid excessive or improper use or disposal of fratilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, cleaning solutions, and automotive and paint products. • Use biodegradable, non-toxic, and less toxic altemative products to the extent possible. • Cover garbage containers and keep them in good repair. • Sweep sidewalks instead of hosing down. • Water lawn properly to reduce runoff.

When you see rivers or streams become doudy or discolored, you may be looking at nonpoint SOUKS' pollution. This type of pollution can be easier to spot tlian It Is to GontroL Pollutants enter our waters from many sources. One way Is ' from specific points, such as the discharge pipes of factories, which can contain untreated waste. "Ms type of poliution can be monitored and controllea. In contrast, nonpoint source pollution comes from liiariy . diverse sources and Is harder to conttol; Major nonpoint sources of pollution indude excess farm and lawn nutrients that move through the soil, into the groundwater or enter- local waters directly through runoff during heavy rains; uncontrolled stormwater mnoff from constrtiction sites; forestry operations; animal wastes; and even pollutants released directly Into the atmosphere. From farmlands to suburban lawns, people use the land in ways that cause nonpoint source pollution. Wltat are tihe pollutants? Nonpoint source pollutants Indude nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers, sediments from construction sites, pestiddes from agricultural lands, salts from winter road treatment.- and trace metals and toxic chemicals from inadequately protected landfills. Individually, these pollutants may not be a major concem, but taken as a whole they can result in widespread water quality problems. The solution begins with us. There are lots of ways to reduce nonpoint source pollution. They Indude detention ponds for capturing sediments, buffer strips of vegetation separating fanned lands from nearby waters, seeding or mulching bare areas to help control erosion, and reducing pesticide and fertilizer use.

Irrigation, and washing your car runs off ail of this hard-surfaced urban development,_f1ows l^o frie gutters along the streets and Into the storm drain system. The CHy of San Diego has approximately 650 miles of storm drains. The purpose of the storm drain system Is to channel rainwater away from urban development and prevent flooding. If ail the urban development which the rainwater comes In ' contact with was clean and free of pdllutants, thero would not be a problem. Unfortunately, that Is not the case. The rainwater picks up pollutants from many sources and carries them through the storm drain system and then Into natural watercourses, coastal lagoons. Mission Bay, San Diego Boy and the Pacific Ocean at the beaches. STORM DRAINS ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT! Many people mistakenly believe that the storm drains are connected to the City's sanitary sewer system and that stormwater Is treated at the Point Loma Sewage Treatment Plant. This Is not the case. Pollution that gets Into the storm drains In your neighborhood goes directly to local waters where you and your neighbors swim, boot, surf and flstv We must all make on effort to keep pollutants out of ou storm drains. Ever/ little bit of pollution hurts. We have over two mien people in Sqn Diego County and the combined effects of pollutants Is causing serious water quality problems In our bays, coastal lagoons and the ocean. NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION This widespread water pollution comes from all areas of the City. Nonpoint source pollution comes from: • Automobiles contributing leaking ofl. grease, and heavy metals from tires, vehicle exhaust and brake Unlngs. , • .Trash and litter, leaves, lawn clippings and organic matter. - • Household deaners and solvents. • Biological contaminants from animal and human waste." • Lawn and garden care products such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. • Soli erosion from yards, hillsides and • construction sites. Nonpoint source pollution Is ranked by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as the highest ecological risk Impacting our region. . Much of our best wildlife habitat Is located along • natural watercourses, in coastal lagoons, and In the b(3ys. Nonpoint souce ppllutlph poses a significant threat to the birds, mdmmdis, reptiles, fish and sea life that live In these areas. Some ofthe pollutants, like slit from exposed ground, and oil and rubber from sfreets, reach the storm drains unintentionally. However, many pollutants, like used crankcase oil, pestiddes, fertilizer, detergents, paint, and solvents, are caeiessiy dumped Into storm drains by people.
