Low Impact Development Extended Detention Basin Design MAP POCKET BMP Map 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) addresses water quality requirements associated with reclamation of Hanson Aggregates Pacific Southwest, Inc.’s (Hanson) quarry (Hanson Aggregates Quarry) located within the cities of Carlsbad and Oceanside. A preliminary SWMP was prepared and approved during the entitlement process. This SWMP is for the reclamation plan’s final engineering and follows the criteria outlined in the City of Carlsbad’s January 14, 2011, Standard Urban Storm Water Management Plan (SUSMP). The January 14 SUSMP contains additional requirements that were not present when the preliminary SWMP was prepared. The additional requirements are addressed in this final SWMP. According to the City’s Storm Water Standards Questionnaire E-34 (attached following this report text), the development is in the “More than 1-acre of disturbance” priority development project category. The project is not increasing the impervious area (the impervious area will decrease) and is therefore not increasing unmitigated peak flow rates, so it is not subject to hydromodification criteria. The SUSMP outlines the SWMP objectives, which are to identify site opportunities and constraints, identify pollutants and conditions of concern, follow low impact development design objectives, describe best management practices (BMPs), and outline maintenance requirements. BMPs will be utilized to the maximum extent practicable to provide a long-term solution for addressing runoff water quality. BMPs were selected that meet the current regulations and also fit within the entitled project. 1.1 Vicinity Map 2 1.2 Project Description The reclamation site is located south of Haymar Drive and west of College Boulevard in the cities of Carlsbad and Oceanside, California (see Vicinity Map). The mining site historically contained a quarry and associated operations. The easterly portion of the overall mining site has been reclaimed and developed with retail uses (Quarry Creek Shopping Center). Hanson is now preparing to reclaim the remainder of the site, which consists of Phases 2B, 3, and 4. This report has been prepared for reclamation of these remaining phases based on the final engineering plans. The phases encompass a portion of the project site entirely within the city of Carlsbad (100.13 acres) as well as a small northeastern portion of the project site (4.10 acres) within the city of Oceanside. The quarry operations are complete. The past mining has resulted in cut slopes (2:1 and steeper) and large, gently sloping earthen pads. The cut slopes are present along portions of the north, south, and east mining limits. The south half of the easterly project perimeter contains a Keystone retaining wall that was constructed for the adjacent off-site shopping center. The mined areas between the cut slopes are now large, rough-graded earthen pads. The area west of the mining footprint is mostly undisturbed. Buena Vista Creek enters the eastern portion of the project site at El Salto Falls, and flows in a westerly direction through the middle of the project site. Buena Vista Creek has been channelized through the mining area and contains three vehicular crossings. Immediately downstream of the mining area, the creek broadens into a natural floodplain. Surface runoff within the site and tributary areas flows into Buena Vista Creek. There are three existing storm drain systems that solely capture off-site runoff and outfall onto the site. One is along the northerly boundary and the other two are along the southerly portion of the easterly boundary (near the westerly terminus of Marron Road). The project will extend the storm drains and outfalls through the site to Buena Vista Creek to avoid commingling with on-site runoff. Even though the off-site runoff will not be commingled with on-site runoff, the City of Carlsbad is requiring treatment of the off-site runoff because the pre-project natural surfaces provide some filtering of the off-site runoff. In order to provide treatment, a low flow pipe will be installed in each of the proposed storm drains to direct the off-site low flow into bio-filter swales for treatment. The only recent activity at the project site is material (concrete, etc.) recycling. The recycling operation is located within the southwesterly pad area. The project site also currently contains several bio-remediation piles. These are contaminated dirt piles stored on-site for remediation and monitored by Brown and Caldwell. The piles will either reach a non-detect level and be used by the on-site grading, or be transported to an appropriate disposal site in accordance will all applicable regulations. The project reclamation will include rechannelization of Buena Vista Creek, which flows in a westerly direction and bisects the project site. The creek currently does not contain the 100- year floodplain and is hydraulically steep, which can lead to erosion. The rechannelization will include widening of the creek channel and reducing the gradient by constructing seven drop structures of varying height and at irregular intervals along the channel. This will create a channel that is stable during a 100-year storm event. The reclamation also includes the 3 creation of large, relatively level pads north and south of the creek. The reclamation does not propose development of the site other than the channelization, pad grading with associated drainage improvements, and landscaping and irrigation. The reclamation will result in fewer impervious surfaces since the structures and majority of the paving will be removed. As a result the project will reduce the flow volumes and rates leaving the site. 1.3 Site Map See the Grading Plan drawings following this report text for the site map. This plan is the design approved during the final engineering process. 1.4 Constraints and Opportunities The site previously supported quarry operations that resulted in ground disturbance over an approximately 40 acre area in Carlsbad. The proposed reclamation grading will not disturb beyond the areas previously disturbed by the quarry. As a result, most of the existing on-site habitat will not be impacted by the project. The reclamation will not create impervious surfaces other than minor impervious surfaces associated with the proposed drainage facilities (e.g., concrete ditch, concrete cleanout, etc.). Most of the existing impervious surfaces (buildings, foundations, paving, etc.) will be removed by the reclamation plan. The only impervious surface of any significance that will remain is a portion of the existing asphalt access road from Haymar Drive. This is needed to provide access to the site down a steep grade. Buena Vista Creek flows in a westerly direction through the site. Under current conditions, the creek is conveyed in a narrow channel with varying levels of un-engineered protection on the banks. The majority of the existing channel is not able to convey the 100-year flows including a segment above El Salto Falls. The existing channel is also hydraulically steep and subject to erosion during high flows. The proposed project will increase the channel capacity by widening the channel significantly and also constructing a levee above El Salto Falls. Seven rock drop structures will flatten the channel profile to reduce flow velocities. The result will be a channel that is able to convey the 100-year storm flows, adequately protected against erosion, and capable of supporting a much greater amount of habitat. The primary pollutant generated by the completed reclamation will be sediment. A series of extended detention (desiltation) basins have been designed in accordance with low impact development guidelines to capture sediment from the site. The basins have been designed in accordance with the City of Carlsbad’s latest SUSMP dated January 14, 2011. 4 2.0 WATER QUALITY ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Beneficial Uses The beneficial uses for the hydrologic unit are included in Tables 1 and 2. These tables were obtained from the April 25, 2007 amended Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (9). The following contains definitions of the beneficial uses in the tables: MUN – Municipal and Domestic Supply: Includes uses of water for community, military, or individual water supply systems including, but not limited to, drinking water supply. AGR – Agricultural Supply (AGR): Includes uses of water for farming, horticulture, or ranching including, but not limited to, irrigation, stock watering, or support of vegetation for range grazing. IND – Industrial Services Supply: Includes uses of water for industrial activities that do not depend primarily on water quality including, but not limited to, mining, cooling water supply, hydraulic conveyance, gravel washing, fire protection, or oil well re-pressurization. REC1 – Contact Recreation: Includes uses of water for recreational activities involving body contact with water, where ingestion of water is reasonably possible. These uses include, but are not limited to, swimming, wading, water-skiing, skin and SCUBA diving, surfing, white water activities, fishing, or use of natural hot springs. REC2 – Non-Contact Recreation: Includes the uses of water for recreational involving proximity to water, but not normally involving body contact with water, where ingestion of water is reasonably possible. These uses include, but are not limited to, picnicking, sunbathing, hiking, camping, boating, tide pool and marine life study, hunting, sightseeing, or aesthetic enjoyment in conjunction with the above activities. WARM – Warm Freshwater Habitat: Includes uses of water that support warm water ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation or enhancement of aquatic habitats, vegetation, fish or wildlife, including invertebrates. WILD – Wildlife Habitat: Includes uses of water that support terrestrial ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation and enhancement of terrestrial habitats, vegetation, wildlife, (e.g., mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates), or wildlife water and food sources. RARE – Rare: Bodies of water where the protection of a threatened or endangered species depends on the water either directly, or to support its habitat. 5 2.1.1 Inland Surface Waters Inland surface waters for the Buena Vista Creek Hydrologic Area have the beneficial uses shown in Table 1: Table 1.

The total drainage area of the hydrologic unit is approximately 210 square miles. Runoff from the hydrologic area ultimately drains to Buena Vista Creek, which bisects the project site. All of the project runoff will enter Buena Vista Creek. The project site represents less than one percent of the Buena Vista Creek watershed. The following table lists pollutants of concern that can potentially exist at proposed priority development project sites. The pollutants are from the city of Carlsbad’s SUSMP. The project does not fall within any of the priority development project categories in the table. However, the project is a priority development project because it results in disturbance of 1 6 acre or more of land and is considered a pollutant-generating development project since it will introduce new landscaping areas that require some fertilization. The project merely proposes grading and landscaping to stabilize Buena Vista Creek, and reclaim the project site from its mined condition. The project does not propose any paving or priority project end uses other than a stable graded site. The primary pollutant expected from the reclaimed project site will be sediment. Nutrients are a lesser pollutant, but can also be generated by the limited amount of fertilizers used for landscaping. According to the landscape architect, some fertilizers can be present in the initial hydroseeding and very limited fertilization could be applied after the initial planting and seeding.

Therefore, the project does not generate pollutants of concern associated with priority development project categories. Nonetheless, BMPs have been incorporated into the site design to address the primary pollutant (sediment) generated at the site. The BMPs have been designed in accordance with the latest City of Carlsbad SUSMP dated January 14, 2011. 4.0 PERMANENT STORM WATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES To address water quality for the project, best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented. The following discusses the Standard Site Design, Source Control, and Low Impact Development design BMPs for the project. 4.1 Standard Site Design BMPs The City of Carlsbad’s standard objectives are required for all projects. The project will accomplish these goals through the following BMPs, which are from the Carlsbad SUSMP: Standard Stormwater Requirements Minimize Impervious Surfaces. The project does not propose any significant impervious surfaces. The only impervious surfaces will be small areas associated with drainage facilities (ditches, cleanouts, etc.). Most of the existing impervious surfaces (paving and buildings) will be removed during the reclamation grading. Disconnect Discharges. The majority of the storm runoff generated from the project site will occur as sheet flow over the natural ground surface. The project will not construct structures or paving that require disconnected discharges. Conserve Natural Areas. Only the area previously disturbed by the quarry will be graded. The remaining natural areas within the property boundary will remain natural. Stenciling Inlets and Signage. All proposed inlets shall be stenciled with “No Dumping! Flows to Bay” or approved similar. The project does not contain public access points along Buena Vista Creek, so signage is not necessary. Landscape Design. A landscape plan will be prepared that uses drought-tolerant species in accordance with the City’s landscape manual. Native trees and shrubs will be preserved over the majority of the parcel in order to maximize canopy interception and promote water conservation. The project will only use water as needed to support the landscaping. Water Efficient Irrigation. The irrigation systems will be designed to each landscaped areas water requirements to avoid over irrigation. Rain shutoff devices will be used, if required, to prevent irrigation after rain events. Protect Slopes And Channels. The grading design will include slope terraces in accordance with agency guidelines. The design will prevent runoff from flowing uncontrolled over the 8 tops of manufactured slopes. The proposed slopes will be landscaped. Riprap energy dissipaters will be used at storm drain outfalls. The Buena Vista Creek channel is being designed to control and handle erosive velocities. Trash Receptacles. The completed reclamation grading will not support uses that require trash receptacles. Material Storage Areas. The completed project will not create outdoor material storage areas. 4.2 Source Control BMPs Source control BMPs will consist of measures to prevent polluted runoff. After the reclamation grading is complete, the site will be vacant and not support any uses. The following addresses the source control BMPs from the Carlsbad SUSMP (Appendix 1): Potential Source of Runoff Pollutants Permanent Source Control BMPs Operational Source Control BMPs On-site storm drain inlets Mark all inlets with “No Dumping! Flows to Bay” or similar.  Provide stormwater pollution information to new site owners, lessees, or operators.  See applicable operational BMPs in Fact sheet SC-44, “Drainage System Maintenance,” in the CASQA Stormwater Quality Handbook (Industrial and Commercial) at www.cabmphandbooks.com) Landscape/Outdoor Pesticide Use Final landscape plans will accomplish all of the following.  Preserve existing native trees, shrubs, and ground cover to the maximum extent possible.  Design landscaping to minimize irrigation and runoff, to promote surface infiltration where appropriate, and to minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that can contribute to stormwater pollution.  Where landscaped areas can retain or detain stormwater, specify plants that are Maintain landscaping using minimum or no pesticides.  See applicable operational BMPs in Fact Sheet SC-41, "Building and Grounds Maintenance," in the CASQA Stormwater Quality Handbooks at www.cabmphandbooks.com  Provide Integrated Pest Management information to new owners, lessees, and operators. 9 tolerant of saturated soil conditions.  Consider using pest-resistant plants, especially adjacent to hardscape.  To ensure successful establishment, select plants appropriate to site soils, slopes, climate, sun, wind, rain, land use, air movement, ecological consistency, and plant interactions. 4.3 Low Impact Development Site Design BMPs/Treatment Control BMPs (TCBMP) The preliminary SWMP approved during the entitlement process was based on the regulations at the time of preparation in February 2010. Since then, the City of Carlsbad updated the SUSMP in March 24, 2010 and January 14, 2011. For the final engineering design, the Low Impact Development (LID) BMPs have been updated and sized to meet the January 14, 2011 LID requirements (see Appendix A for the calculations). Treatment Control BMPs have also been designed and included in Appendix A. The integrated LID outlines four strategies: 1. Optimize the site layout by preserving natural drainage features and designing buildings and circulation to minimize the amount of roofs and paving. 2. Use pervious surfaces such as turf, gravel, or pervious pavement—or use surfaces that retain rainfall. All drainage from these surfaces is considered to be “self-retained”. 3. Disperse runoff from impervious surfaces on to adjacent pervious surfaces (e.g., direct a roof downspout to disperse runoff onto a lawn). 4. Drain impervious surfaces to engineered Integrated Management Practices (IMPs), such as bioretention facilities, planter boxes, cisterns, or dry wells. IMPs infiltrate runoff to groundwater and/or percolate runoff through engineered soil and allow it to drain away slowly. The project design is in compliance with these strategies. The site layout preserves the alignment of the Buena Vista Creek channel as well as the current drainage patterns outside the grading area. The graded area will generally sheet flow along naturally-lined surfaces. The project does not propose buildings or roadways. Nearly all of the proposed surfaces will be pervious earthen surfaces or covered with landscaping. Since the primary pollutant generated from the project site will be sediment, the most appropriate BMP will be extended (“dry”) detention basins, i.e., desiltation basins, which are 10 defined in the Carlsbad SUSMP as an alternative to integrated LID design. According to Table 2-3 in the SUSMP, these basins also have a high effectiveness for treating nutrients, which is a secondary pollutant generated by the project. The SUSMP requires that the basin volume be based on the product of the County of San Diego’s 85th Percentile Isopluvial Map (0.65 inches), the LID weighted runoff factor (0.10 for pervious surfaces), and the tributary area. The volume of each of the three proposed basins was sized using these criteria (see Appendix A). In accordance with the SUSMP, additional design considerations and details were obtained from Fact Sheet TC-22, Extended Detention Basins from the CASQA California Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbooks. In particular, the storage depth below the outflow riser is approximately 4 feet and the basin side slopes are 3:1 maximum. 4.4 Hydromodification Exemption In addition to satisfying LID and numeric requirements, priority development projects can be subject to hydromodification controls. The HMP Applicability Determination from Figure 2- 1 of the SUSMP is used to make the determination. The following steps from the table were followed and resulted in a determination that the project is not subject to hydromodification:  Is Project a Priority Development Project? The attached Storm Water Standards Questionnaire E-34 shows that the project is a Priority Development Project.  Proper Energy Dissipation Provided? The proposed storm drains and outlets are being designed with riprap energy dissipation in accordance with standard engineering practice.  Does Project Increase Impervious Area? The project will not construct paving or structures, so it will not increase the impervious area. The project will remove existing paving and structures resulting in a net decrease in impervious area.  Does Project Increase Unmitigated Peak Flows to Any Outlet Location. Storm runoff from the project flows into Buena Vista Creek from the north and south under pre- and post-project conditions. The general flow patterns will be unchanged and the impervious area will be reduced by the project. Therefore, the project will not increase the unmitigated peak flows outletting into the creek. In addition, the creek channel will be stabilized by the project, which will reduce the potential for erosion in the creek. Pre- and post-project 2- and 10-year hydrologic analyses have been performed to verify that this condition is being met. Under post-project (proposed) conditions, runoff will outlet into Buena Vista Creek at four locations including three storm drain outlets along the north creek bank and one outlet along the south creek bank. Pre- project (existing condition) hydrologic analyses were performed to determine the flows at similar outlet locations. The analyses are included in the April 7, 2011, Drainage Report for South Coast Materials Quarry, by Chang Consultants and are 11 summarized in the table below. The results show that the project will not increase the 2- or 10-year flow rates from the site. The primary reason is because the project will replace the majority of the impervious surfaces at the site with pervious surfaces. The Existing and Proposed Condition Rational Work Maps from the drainage report are included after this report text. Drainage Basin Exist. Cond. Tributary Area, Ac Prop. Cond.

Provisions will be made to transfer operations and maintenance to the new owner in the event of a change in ownership. This primarily includes maintenance of the landscaping and extended detention basins. The following describes the specific BMP maintenance. Landscaping The landscaping and channel habitat will be designed by The Lightfoot Planning Group and Helix Environmental Planning, Inc. Vegetation will be initially planted in the Buena Vista Creek channel and in the upland slopes. The creek vegetation will be designed for minimal, if any, maintenance. It is anticipated that the resource agencies will require a multi-year monitoring period to ensure that the creek habitat is meeting performance standards. Maintenance and monitoring will be established in accordance with the resource agency requirements. Similarly, the upland vegetation will be designed for minimal maintenance. Maintenance and replanting will be performed by landscaping personnel. Maintenance will primarily consist of replanting, as needed. Efficient Irrigation The landscaping personnel shall inspect and maintain the irrigation system on a regular basis. This will occur during the routine maintenance activities. All valves, heads, shutoff devices, lines, etc. shall be kept in a properly functioning condition. Any defective parts shall be replaced immediately. The irrigation system shall be adjusted to prevent excessive runoff from landscape areas. The irrigation schedule shall be adjusted based on seasonal needs. 12 Extended Detention (Desiltation + Infiltration) Basins (see Appendix A for Sizing Calculations) The extended detention basins shall be inspected for accumulated sediment and debris at the beginning and end of each rainy season. The sediment and debris shall be removed prior to and following the rainy season. Inspections and removal shall also occur following any precipitation events exceeding a 10-year magnitude. During each inspection, the outlet riser, gravel cone, and anti-vortex plate shall also be inspected and maintained, as needed. Inlet Stenciling The legibility of markers and signs shall be maintained by Hanson. Any stenciling shall be inspected at the beginning and end of each rainy season and repaired or replaced, as needed. Hazardous Wastes Suspected hazardous wastes will be analyzed to determine disposal options. Hazardous materials are not expected to be generated on-site (except for the soil stockpiles currently undergoing remediation); however, if discovered, hazardous materials will be handled and disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations. A solid or liquid waste is considered a hazardous waste if it exceeds the criteria listed in the California Code of Federal Regulations, Title 22, Article 11 (State of California, 1985). 6.0 SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS This final SWMP has been prepared in accordance with the City of Carlsbad’s January 14, 2011, Standard Urban Storm Water Management Plan, and has evaluated and addressed potential pollutants associated with the Hanson Aggregates Quarry reclamation project and its effects on water quality. This SWMP has been based on the final engineering plans. A summary of the facts and findings associated with the reclamation project and the measures addressed by this SWMP are as follows:  The beneficial uses for the receiving waters have been identified. None of these beneficial uses will be impaired or diminished due to the construction and operation of the project site.  The project will not significantly alter drainage patterns or flow rates from the project site. The project will not add impervious surfaces and will maintain storm runoff into Buena Vista Creek. In fact, the project will remove some existing structures and paving, which will slightly reduce the project site imperviousness.  A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for construction activities has been prepared to address construction-related water quality objectives.  Permanent BMPs will be incorporated into the reclamation project in the form of site design, source control, and LID treatment control.  The proposed BMPs address mitigation measures to protect water quality and beneficial uses to the maximum extent practicable. 13  Hanson Aggregates Pacific Southwest, Inc. will be responsible for BMP maintenance and operations. 7.0 CERTIFICATION The selection, sizing, and preliminary design of stormwater treatment and other control measures in this plan meet the requirements of Regional Water Quality Control Board Order R9-2007-0001 and subsequent amendments.

Howell Date E-34 Page 1 of 3 REV 1/14/11 Development Services Land Development Engineering 1635 Faraday Avenue 760-602-2750 www.carlsbadca.gov STORM WATER STANDARDS QUESTIONNAIRE E-34 INSTRUCTIONS: To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the City requires that new development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management Practices (BMP‟s) into the project design per the City‟s Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP). To view the SUSMP, refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 4, Chapter 2) at www.carlsbadca.gov/standards. Initially this questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application (subdivision, discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results of the questionnaire determine the level of storm water standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the outcome, your project will either be subject to „Standard Stormwater Requirements‟ or be subject to additional criteria called „Priority Development Project Requirements‟. Many aspects of project site design are dependent upon the storm water standards applied to a project. Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts. City staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the City. If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff. A separate completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted for each new development application submission. Only one completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project are submitted concurrently. In addition to this questionnaire, you must also complete, sign and submit a Project Threat Assessment Form with construction permits for the project. Please start by completing Section 1 and follow the instructions. When completed, sign the form at the end and submit this with your application to the city.

The basins will also be designed as infiltration basins that meet the treatment control best management practice (TCBMP) requirements. The SUSMP requires that the extended detention basin volume be based on the product of the County of San Diego’s 85th Percentile Isopluvial Map (0.65 inches), the LID weighted runoff factor (0.10 for pervious surfaces), and the tributary area. The minimum storage volume required for each of the three proposed basins was sized using these criteria and the calculations and backup data are provided in this appendix. In accordance with the SUSMP, additional design considerations and details were obtained from Fact Sheet TC-22, Extended Detention Basins from the CASQA California Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbooks.

Extended Detention Basin Sizing Table Table 1 Notes: The Drainage Management Areas (DMA) were delineated from the grading plans. The graded surfaces will be pervious and landscaped. The associated runoff factor from SUSMP Table 4-2 is 0.1 The 85th percentile precipitation from the latest County of San Diego Map is 0.65 inches The outlet risers will be sized for the 100-year flow rate (see Drainage Report) The basins have designed based on the following criteria from TC-22: - Minimum 3:1 side slopes - Basin depth below riser set at approximately 4 feet - Length to width ration of at least 1.5:1 - Use 10:1 side slope (10%) at basin entrance to minimize erosion and allow for access The basins will also be used to provide infiltration to meet the TCBMP requirements. The infiltration basins must drain in 72 hours and must be at least 10 feet above groundwater. The project’s soils report indicates that groundwater is at elevations of 70 to 80 feet MSL, which is 17 feet or more below the basins. The SUSMP indicates that the minimum surface area of a basin is determined from the equation: Minimum IMP Area = DMA Area × DMA Runoff Factor × IMP Sizing Factor where, IMP = integrated management practices, e.g., an infiltration basin. IMP Area = surface area of the infiltration basin, sf DMA Area = tributary drainage management area, sf 2 DMA Runoff Factor = 0.1 for natural areas IMP Sizing Factor = 0.04 for treatment control Table 2 summarizes the TCBMP sizing requirements for the infiltration basins. The basins will store water to the elevation of the outlet riser (see paragraph below for the riser analyses). The surface area provided in each basin below the top of riser exceeds the required IMP infiltration area in Table 2, so the basins have sufficient area.

Infiltration Basin Sizing Table The storage volume in Table 1 and infiltration area in Table 2 give an indication of the time to drain from the basin. The volume divided by the area provided for any given basin yields the maximum depth of water that must infiltrate into the ground within 72 hours. The maximum volume over area provided is about 1 foot (3,881÷3,870). This equates to a maximum infiltration rate of 0.17 inches per hour for 72 hours. The underlying soil layer will be specified by the soils engineer during construction to provide this rate. Each extended detention basin will contain a riser that will cause sediment to deposit in the basin. The riser will also allow the 100-year flow to be conveyed out of the basin. The 100- year flow rate is based on the proposed condition rational method results from the April 7, 2011, Drainage Report for South Coast Materials Quarry, by Chang Consultants. Each outlet riser connects to a pipe that outflows into Buena Vista Creek. The flow rates at each basin are summarized in Table 3. Basin 100-Year Flow Rate, cfs Northwest 12 Northeast 33 South 87 Table 3. Summary of 100-Year Rational Method Results for Desiltation Basin Riser Design According to the Reclamation Plan drawing, the northwest and northeast basins will each have a 42-inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) riser, while the south basin will have a 54- inch HDPE riser. Orifice and weir calculations were performed for the risers and corresponding 100-year flow rates using Bentley’s FlowMaster program. The results provide the amount of head necessary to convey the 100-year flow through the risers and are included in this appendix and summarized in Table 4. The more conservative of the weir and orifice results for each riser governs. From Table 4, it is evident that weir flow governs in each case. 3 In order to ensure that the desiltation basins can handle runoff from the 100-year event, the basins have been designed so the top of banks are higher than the top of risers plus the weir headwater depth with a foot of freeboard.

On most densely developed sites—such as commercial and mixed-use developments and small-lot residential subdivisions—most DMAs will drain to TCBMP/IMPs. More than one drainage area can drain to the same TCBMP/IMP. However, because the minimum TCBMP/IMP sizes are determined by ratio to drainage area size, a drainage area may not drain to more than one TCBMP/IMP. See Figures 4-4 and 4-5. FIGURE 4-5. ONE DRAINAGE Management Area cannot drain to more than one IMP. Use a grade break to divide the DMA. FIGURE 4-4. MORE THAN ONE Drainage Management Area can drain to a single IMP.
