BATIQUITOS LAGOON ENHANCEMENT PROJECT DRAFT FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OVERALL STUDY OBJECTIVES
The Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Project Preliminary Desi
Report represents a detailed engineering study and analysi to evaluate the feasibility of the engineering aspects and associated costs of the enhancement project. The enhance- ment project endeavors to fulfill the goals set forth in t
California Coastal Conservancy Draft Batiquitos Lagoon
Enhancement Plan: to restore tidal flushing by creating adequate tidal prism while conserving and enhancing existi
wildlife habitat values and establishing new habitats. Th draft enhancement plan was developed over a period of more than 2 years through a public process involving state, federal, and local public agencies: property owners: envi- ronmental and citizen groups: and interested individuals.
This report reviews the methodology and findings of the
following:
0 Existing lagoon sediment characteristics, . qualities, and quantities
o Volume of dredged/excavated material by type and location for three enhancement alternatives
o Excavated/dredged material disposal methods
o Excavated/dredged material disposa1,sites
o Excavation/dredging depths and boundaries (detailed grading plans) for three alternatives
o Tidal inlet design recommendation
0. Beach nourishment design recommendation
o Hydraulic modeling (circulation and flushing) an water quality analysis within the lagoon for
three alternatives
o Lagoon sedimentation (SED-4 modeling results)
0 Sediment control management plan
0 Existing bridges relative to the lagoon enhance- ment project and methods for their protection

0 Avifaunal surveys to date
o Engineering cost estimates of project components
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
LAGOON SEDIMENTS
The sediments proposed to be removed from the lagoon are nc 'hazardous, containing trace or lesser amounts of pollutant: and are well below threshold limit concentrations as define 'by the California Administrative Code, Title 22. Therefore the sediments may be disposed of by conventional land dis- posal methods .
Sediments in the western half of the lagoon are composed predominantly of sands and are suitable for beach-front di:
posal, beach nourishment, and least tern nesting areas,
;Sediments in the eastern half of the lagoon consist of
{elastic silts, fat clays, and-sands. These sediments can IC
used as an impermeable capping or lining material, a non-
structural fill, or, if mixed properly with other material,
(as structural fill.
lDREDGING/EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL CONCEPTS
' I The three enhancement alternatives require differing amount of soil removal, as follows:
0 Alternative A: 3,096,000 yd3
0 Alternative B: 2,632,000 yd3
0 Alternative C: 2,347,000 yd3
Approximately 380,000 yd3 of the above quantities will be
used as fill material within the lagoon boundaries to form
least tern nesting sites and a freshwater marsh.
The sand in the west and central basins is relatively easy to dispose of because it can be placed on adjacent and near lbeaches as nourishment. The material comprising most of th
least basin is more difficult to dispose of because of its
wet cohesive consistency, which creates transport and place ~nent problems.
The recommended dredging and disposal scheme is to remove a
additional depth of sand in the central lagoon, thereby
creating a "pit" that can accommodate the material from the east lagoon. A sand cap will then be placed over the relocated material. This method requires moving additional quantities of material locally, using efficient hydraulic
dredge equipment. Even though this recommendation requires the dredging of nearly 2 million additional cubic yards for
11DH1/007 2
a 0
. Alternative A (over the quantity shown above), the estimat cost is lower than the most economical land disposal optio
This is an efficient construction technique for in-lagoon
sediment disposal that will not alter predicted habitats o
the final enhancement project. In addition, it creates mo
beach nourishment material, reduces the total project con-
struction time, and reduces offsite project impacts.
As an option to the recommendation discussed above, the mo
preferred dry land disposal of the east basin material is the Green Valley area just south of the eastern end of the
lagoon. Even though the material would be placed on dry
,land, hydraulic dredging would be most attractive and cost effective because the material could be easily conveyed th
relatively short distance required of dredge pipe. If a
disposal site is selected more than 3 miles away, soil
removal in the east basin would best be handled using con- ventional grading equipment. The east basin could be dike off and dried, and San Marcos and Encinitas Creeks tempora rily rerouted. The material would be hauled to a disposal site by truck.
The nesting season of the California least tern was taken
into account when determining the construction schedule tc
minimize effects to the bird's nesting and foraging habit2
~,
Maintenance dredging will be required periodically. For
Alternative A, approximately 25,000 yd3 of material could
accumulate in the western portion of the lagoon each year
from marine sources. Alternative B could accumulate 17,000 yd3, and Alternative C could accumulate 13,000 yd3.
In addition, it is estimated that 3,500 yd3 of sediment wj
be caught in the east basin sediment trap. This study
contains a maintenance program to ensure that the cumulatj
effects of sedimentation will not affect the long-term
viability of the enhancement project.
- TIDAL INLET
A comprehensive study has been made of various alternativt for a tidal inlet design. Particular attention has been
given to the following:
0 History of Batiquitos Lagoon and the surroundin! area
0 Longshore sediment transport

With respect to all these considerations, the preferred
concept is a small armored channel configuration. The
design emphasizes short, low profile jetties with the objective of nominal disruption to the longshore sediment transport.
BEACH NOURISHMENT CONCEPT ~ ~~ ~
The beach nourishment operations are proposed to take
advantage of a large amount of sandy material greater thar
0.15 mm in median diameter available from the recommended
planned dredging in the lagoon. Considering the recommenc
central basin disposal pit scheme, approximate total amour of the sand in the beach nourishment size range are
3,180,000 ydl under Alternative A, 2,600,000 yd3 for
Alternative B, and 2,450,000 yd3 under Alternative C.
Although some amounts of this sand will be used for
construction of the least tern nesting sites, most is
available for beach nourishment. As much as 60 percent oi
this material is finer than 0.20 mm and is subject to easl
washout by wave action. Selection of nourishment sites w;
made where the presence of cobbles and reduced wave energ1 (caused by wave divergence) will make this material useful for beach nourishment.
Two specific areas have been evaluated for beach nourish- ment: a 3,000-foot shoreline segment near Batiquitos Lagc and a 5,700- to 6,500-foot shoreline segment at the Encini Creek outlet. Both of these sites provide excellent bead access and have provisions for a sizable public parking facility. The Batiquitos site is limited in'size and can only accept about 114,000 yd3. The material would be plac on the surface of a regraded cobble berm to improve the amount of time it would remain at the site. A useful per: at this site could be 3 years, although a variation from normal ocean-conditions could cause substantial variation: in duration, either shorter or longer. It should be note( that the proposed maintenance dredging of the inlet area
would replenish the Batiquitos site on a continual basis. The natural loss of material from this beach will benefit
the downcoast shoreline for a distance of approximately
2 miles, including Leucadia and the northern reach of Encinitas.

1. At the Encinas Creek site, sand placement totaling as muc as 2.1 to 3.1 million yd3 will push the shoreline seaward
485 to 640 feet, The length of time that nourished sand remains at this beach is variable. One possible scenaria
could be:
..
1. Half the width of beach would disappear under a
severe low frequency occurring storm.
2. Sand would remain for approximately I5 years unc average weather conditions.
3. Longer residency would be obtained if nourishec periodically with maintenance dredging, or if unusually calm weather prevails.
The beach fill at the Encinas Creek site will serve as a
major source of littoral sediment for the shoreline at Sc
Carlsbad State Beach.
HYDRAULIC MODELING AND WATER QUALITY EVALUATION
Current meters and tide gauges were placed at strategic locations inside Batiquitos Lagoon prior to removal of t:
natural cobble bar at the mouth of the lagoon in May 198 Current and tide information obtained from these instru-
ments, combined with profile mapping of the ocean bottom conditions, enabled the calibration of hydrodynamic (cir
culation and flushing) and water quality models comparab to actual conditions.
The models show the alternatives are capable of achievin
85 to 90 percent of the potential tidal prism, indicatin the design of the entrance channel is effective in allow continuous tidal exchange. This estimate is consistent
previous tidal prism estimates including that computed 0
the Coastal Conservancy ,
The tidal prisms of the three alternatives fall into the range of 2.1 to 2.6 million yd’. This volume of water amounts to more than 50 percent of the total volume of b in the lagoon (at +5.0 feet mllw) €or any of the three dredging plans. This continual exchange of ocean water serve to reduce the potential impacts of long-term stag1 tion, as now occurs.
The normal water quality of the lagoon should be simila~ the ocean throughout the year except during major storm
events, which would result in large volumes of fresh way from the uplands. However, the time needed to return tc nornal water quality would be relatively short through01 the basin. The habitat for fish and other aquatic life
should be greatly improved over existing conditions because of improved tidal circulation and water quality

, with more consistent levels of salinity, concentrations oi
nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and food chain organisms.
SEDIMENTATION AND SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT
Existing data indicate the inlet closure at Batiquitos
Lagoon was not a result of filling by upland sediments ani
subsequent loss of effective tidal prism. Inlet closure
appears to be a result of bridge constrictions near the mouth. The constrictions reduced the scouring ability of
the tidal flows leading to sedimentation and closure of tk
inlet- When the inlet is closed, fine sediments that may
normally move through the lagoon (to the sea) are instead
trapped in it.
Previous. estimates of upland sediment delivery to the lag( appear to be significantly higher that what is expected il the future. This result is due in part to overly conservi tive estimating techniques and in part to the decreasing effects of development on sediment load.
The use of sediment traps as ‘a management technique may nc
be effective. Under low to moderate flood events, the sediment loads may not be large enough to be of concern. Under extreme flood events the sediment traps may be inef-
fective. Sediment basin placement must be considered in
relation to the potential for increasing flooding (San
Marcos Creek) and interference with naturally existing
sediment traps (Encinitas Creek). In both cases, there a3
strong arguments for placing such structures lagoonward f~
the bordering highways. For the small creeks entering thc
lagoon, management of sediment and erosion at constructio~ sites should be sufficient. Construction of permanent sec
ment traps should be considered only if the sedimentation
problem clearly is not transient.
The most serious sedimentation problem is the transport 0: sand through the inlet. Above mllw, the adjacent beach i! currently composed of cobbles. However, sufficient sand :
transport into the inlet appears to be present on the beac
below low water. Beach nourishment by the implementation
the enhancement plan will also add to the supply. Two im.
portant consequences are evident: the inlet is the most
critical part of a lagoon enhancement design, and the inlc will have to be armored on its sides.
EXISTING BRIDGES
Existing information has been obtained on all five of the bridges crossing the lagoon. To accommodate the proposed dredging, all of the bridges will require either a form o
structural modification or foundation protection. The we;
portion of Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge may possibly require
DDH1/007 6
. *' -0
a extensive footing modifications: however, that cannot be determined until the water level in the lagoon subsides an( an investigation of the existing footings can be made.
AVIFAUNAL SURVEYS
Six avifaunal surveys have been completed to date. Addi-
tional surveys will be conducted to complete a 1-year samp: period. Bird use fluctuates with seasonality, with waterfc populations remaining high through winter and shorebirds decreasing after summer breeding. Water elevations also affect bird usage, as shorebird use continues to decline with high winter water levels (and inundation of habitat).
The California least. tern (federally listed endangered spe,
was noted during the breeding seasons and not observed dur
the winter season (when the bird is typically in Central
America and Mexico). The state-designed endangered specie
Belding's savannah sparrow, was noted during all six Surve
but fluctuated significantly according to season.
Construction Costs and Schedule
Budget level construction cost estimates and an antici'patel
construction schedule have been prepared.
.. The total project costs for the various alternatives are summarized as follows:
Central Basin Disposal Green Valley Disp,
Alternative A $23,488,000 Alternative B $20,465,000 Alternative C $19,626,000
$34,848,000
$29,798,000 $26,119,000
The recommended central basin disposal construction scenar
will require a construction contract of 1-1/2 years. Nine
percent of the entire project, including all dredging, wil
take place in a 5-1/2 month period during the first fall a
winter season. The west and central basins will be comple
and tidally influenced after this period and the west basi and Park and Ride least tern nesting sites will be finishe
The east basin will have been dredged, but finish grading
work will need to be done after the basin has had time to
dry out somewhat.
If the Green Valley or similar offsite disposal scenario i
used, the total construction time will remain at about 1-1/2 years. The lagoon west of 1-5 will still be complet at 5-1/2 months, but the east lagoon dredging will be a slower process, extending over the entire contract length.

TASK 3"ENGINEERING STUDIES
The purpose of this task is to complete engineering and
environmental studies and analyses pertinent to the EIR/EI
These studies are briefly described below.
PD123.052 3
e 0
A. Water Quality Model for Alternative 3
A water quality model will be run for the "Intermittent Alternative 3" (developed by the Conservancy) using method- ologies developed for the water quality analysis for Alter- natives A, B, and C in the Preliminary Design Engineering Report. This study effort will provide necessary informa- tion to be used in the EIR/EIS discussion of alternative
actions and their consequent water quality results.
B. Bridge Inspections
Bridge inspections will be undertaken of the West Carlsbad
Bridge footings to determine potential impacts to bridge
conditions from the enhancement project. Structural engi- neering analyses will be undertaken and a Technical Memorar dum will be presented to the City and POLA.
C. Sediment Load Study
Each subbasin of the lagoon watershed will be mapped and
analyzed separately for erosion, subsequent upland deposi-
tion, and sediment delivery to the lagoon. This will be
done for a range of possible rainfall events. Since the watershed and subbasins are quite small, the analysis will be in fine detail to provide good results. This means not only that the unit area considered must be quite small, but also that the number of different erosion and transport cor ditions are large.
This study will develop a detailed, fine-scale upland sedi- ment budget. The intent is to determine if sediment traps at the mouths of San Marcos and Encinitas Creeks are neces- sary, or if cost and environmental impacts can be avoided t: not having them. The study would also address the neces-
sity (or lack thereof) for smaller sediment traps at sub- basins within the watershed.
D. Littoral Drift Study
Tekmarine will undertake a study utilizing a mathematical
model to determine potential impacts to littoral drift
caused by the beach nourishment plans and the tidal inlet
structures. This study will be incorporated with the Corp:
coastal studies on littoral drift.
E. Physical Environment
This study is optional at this time and will require autho: ization at a later time.
The study will involve development of exposure time curves for the intertidal region on a frequency and duration basi:
PD123.052 4
e a
to assist in evaluating what species are to be expected at what elevations. The development of seasonal and diurnal
variability in physical parameters under an entire range oi
tidal conditions (as opposed to the synthetic diurnal tide
used to define the overall average conditions) will also bc
undertaken. The response of the system to the entire rang6
of potential flood events will be described. Assessments c
dissolved oxygen and nutrient variability within the lagoor
will be developed. The work will concentrate on longitudi-
nal variability in space, with minimal consideration of
lateral variations. A calibrated kinematic model will be
- used to answer a variety of "what if" questions.
This new and more detailed information on the proposed pro ect's physical environment will be used for the biological predictions required for the fish and wildlife discussions in the EIR/EIS.
F. Geotechnical Studies for Central Basin
This task would include drilling eight soil borings using hollow-stem auger or rotary wash drilling techniques. The borings will be advanced to depths of 30 feet. A CH2M HIL geologist will visually characterize and log the samples a
5-foot centers. The laboratory work will include 16 grain
size analyses to further characterize the sediments. A
technical memorandum will be issued summarizing the result
of our investigation.
TASK 4--COLLECT AND REVIEW ENVIRONMENTAL DATA/REPORTS AND PR-EPARE DESCRIPTIONS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of this task are to:
0 Review the data base of available information
0 Prepare descriptions of existing conditions
pertinent to the EIR/EIS efforts
Several aspects of the lagoon's physical and biological cc
ditions have been studied by a variety of agencies and con
tractors. Additional data have been developed during the ongoing engineering studies. This task will establish a common level of knowledge and a data base upon which envir
mental analysis can be based.

TASK 5--ARCHAEOLOGY, PALEONTOLOGY, AND CULTURAL RESOURCES STUDY
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to identify archaeological,
paleontological, and cultural resources that the project ma
impact. Mitigation measures and potential restricted areas
will be identified, if necessary.
METHODOLOGY
This task includes a literature review and a limited number of interviews by a qualified archaeologist with recognized authorities and local residents familiar with the lagoon
setting. Consultation with the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) will be coordinated through the Corps and
documented. The subconsultant will meet with the Corps
archaeologist to review recent Corps work undertaken at or
near Batiquitos Lagoon.
Surface reconnaissance will be undertaken in all areas that have not been previously surveyed if they are likely to be disturbed during construction. The archaeological surface reconnaissance will focus on the lagoon shoreline and sedi- ment basin areas. Dredge disposal sites, potential vehicle access locations, construction or disturbed areas, and area of potential disturbance will be investigated. Available literature will be used to describe conditions along the north shore public access trail. The paleontological sur- face reconnaissance will occur only in the eastern end of the lagoon where fossil-bearing strata exist. No subsurfac investigations will be performed under this scope of work.
Potential resource areas will be identified and mapped. If
appropriate, subsurface testing requirements will be
identified but not undertaken. Mitigation measures, if
necessary to offset potential impacts, will be described.
PRODUCT
A cultural resources report will be prepared for review by the project management team. Review comments will be incor porated as appropriate and the report will be submitted by the Corps to SHPO for review and comment. The report will then be summarized for inclusion in the EIR/EIS. A SHPO letter of review (if received) will be included in the EIR appendix.

TASK 6"LAGOON BIRD AND VEGETATION ANALYSIS
FIELD DATA COLLECTION
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this task are to compile and analyze all
existing quantitative data on the abundance and diversity o
the avian community and its habitat utilization of Batiqui- tos Lagoon, and to undertake focused bird surveys.
METHODOLOGY
Utilizing existing avifaunal census information, the number of taxa (species richness), individuals (abundance), habita usage (open water, mudflats, riparian, etc.), and activitie (foraging, mating, nesting, resting) will be described. Bi use will be described using statistical information develoF during the bird surveys completed in 1987-1988. Bird habit and usage will be mapped where possible. In coordination with CDFG personnel and others if appropriate, two additior avian field surveys will be done during spring and summer 1 to search for species of special concern and to refine tech nical information developed in 1987.
Vegetation communities based on plant associations will be mapped (tentative scale 1:4800). One spring field survey will be conducted to field-verify information used in this vegetation mapping effort. The amount of acreage in each major vegetation community will be estimated. In addition, ecological descriptions of plant associations will be devel oped, including qualitative estimates of cover, dominance, etc. No field productivity studies will be undertaken and predictions of future vegetation productivity will be prepa
PRODUCTS
A technical memorandum will be prepared that will include a
data collected during 1987 and 1988 surveys, and the CDFG
waterfowl data. The data will be analyzed and summarized, and the results will be interpreted. The resulting data
base presented in the technical memorandum will be used in
the baseline/existing environment section of the EIR/EIS
and, if applicable, will be included in a technical
appendix. The baseline/existing environment section dealin with the bird resources will be prepared as a quantitative discussion with seasonal characterization of abundance,
usage, and species richness.
A vegetation map will be prepared for the EIR/EIS document, and the plant species composition of each mapped community will be described in an accompanying text.

TASK 7--WETLAND/RIPARIAN HABITAT REQUIREMENTS AND EXISTING HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN
OBJECTIVE
The purposes of this task are: (1) to verify and develop
specific wetland and riparian habitat requirements to ensur the attainment of the habitat value goals described in the
enhancement alternatives, and (2) to develop a conservatior
plan for the existing habitats identified in the enhancemer
. alternatives for preservation.
METHODOLOGY
Based on previously developed descriptions of wetland and
riparian habitats and requirements, the four alternatives
will be evaluated concerning elevations, slopes, inundatior
frequency and depth variation, soil characteristics, plant communities, and possible planting needs. Environmental criteria will be evaluated for habitat types, including saltwater, brackish, and freshwater marshes, riparian hab- itats, and endangered species habitats for each alternative
Several specific habitats have been identified in the En- hancement Plan as requiring protection in their existing condition. In areas of possible construction activity, a site visit will be conducted to delineate zone protection for each habitat: for example, zones where no disturbance can occur, zones where limited construction may occur with- out jeopardy to the habitat or species users, and buffer zones where temporary protection measures may be necessary during construcfion. This visit will focus on the areas ir which construction is likely to occur close to the site or during a season when certain species may be susceptible to adverse impacts.
PRODUCT
A technical memorandum will be prepared that (1) describes
the design criteria for each wildlife habitat, and (2) idel
tifies protection zones and practices for engineering and
construction. A map will be included for the lagoon showil habitat protection areas and areas where construction plan. ning must be integrated with zone location restrictions. Four cross sections will be prepared of wetland and riparii habitats to illustrate elevations, water levels, and plant types. Buffer zone requirements will also be mapped and narrative descriptions prepared.

TASK 8--MARINE AND IN-LAGOON BENTHIC AND PELAGIC HABITAT SURVEYS
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the surveys in Task 8 is to assess existing
conditions of marine intertidal zones, shallow subtidal
zones, and in-lagoon areas that will be subject to excava-
tion and dredging or burial or to other disturbances from proposed dredging, beach nourishment, or dredge spoil dis-
posal activities.
METHODOLOGY
Outside Laaoon >-
The intertidal sandy beach areas planned for nourishment will be surveyed by biologists to determine the types and extent of existing habitat(s), to determine the presence ol dominant macrobiotic organisms, and to assess the physical characteristics of the habitat(s). Five intertidal infaun: samples will be obtained from the Batiquitos and Encinas
beach nourishment sites (total of ten samples). Samples w:
consist of 1-liter, 10 cm deep cores sifted through a 1-mm
screen. Samples will not be taken from cobble areas. The genus of organisms will be taxonomically field-identified, and all sieved samples will be labeled and preserved for
future reference. Two physical sediment samples will be taken at each site and characterized according to sands, silts, cobble, etc.
Subtidal areas (-5 to -20 feet) will be surveyed by scuba- diving marine biologists, who will swim eight transects to observe and record the existing habitats and macroepibiota present within the Batiquitos Lagoon area (e.g., cobble beds, kelp beds). The two nourishment sites (Encinas and Batiquitos) will have four transects each taken to charac- terize local conditions. Underwater photographs will be taken where visibility allows. Cobble habitats and other particular habitats will be generally mapped and described to record the existing conditions.
In-Lauoon a
In-lagoon sampling will include eight stations of benthic grabs (1 liter per sample) taken to a maximum penetration (
10 cm. These will include five replicates per station
sieved through a 0.5 mm screen. Two stations will be
located in the West Basin, two in the Central Basin, and
four stations will be sampled from the East Basin. These
samples will generally represent the various elevations,
salinities, and other habitat conditions existing in the
PD123.052 12
e 0
lagoon for one season during the spring months. Organisms will be identified in the laboratory with estimates of
abundance at the species level.
Pelagic resources will be sampled at one station in the We: Basin, one in the Central Basin, and three in the East Basin. Samples at these five stations will use duplicate,
10-minute duration, 1 m x 16 cm manta nets with 333 micro-
mesh. Species will be enumerated during the laboratory identification of split samples. Also a minnow net (14 ft
long with 1 cm mesh) will be used at the same five station: one sample per station.
PRODUCTS -~ -~ ~
The nearshore and intertidal habitats outside the lagoon w.
be characterized using maps and text. Generalized in-lagoc
benthic and pelagic communities will be described and spec
lists will be developed, based primarily on existing data.
The data will be incorporated into the baseline section of
the EIR/EIS.
TASK 9"PREDICTED HABITAT AND ECOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to develop, for the proposed plan and alternatives, ecological predictions for the
habitats that may be changed by project construction (e.g. the saltwater/brackish marshes, riparian areas, fishery
uses, etc. ) .
METHODOLOGY ~~
Predictions for ecological changes will include vegetation and benthic evolutions expected to occur over time, as we1 as an anticipated stable-state ecology. Fish and wildlife conditions that will evolve as a result of these changes will be described based on relevant studies and findings. Comparisons of the proposed plan and alternatives will be developed where appropriate. The predicted habitat condi- tions will be compared with those on which the Enhancement Plan is based. The effectiveness of meeting the mitigatic goals of the HEP will be discussed. The potential for SUC cessful conservation of the habitat values identified in t Enhancement Plan will be determined for each alternative. Mitigation goals defined in the MOA will be compared with the predicted habitat results, and each alternative will k evaluated according to its relative success in meeting the
goals.

TASK 10--NOISE MONITORING AND IXPACTS EVALUATION
OBJECTIVE
Existing and projected noise conditions will be evaluated 1
determine potential impacts and regulatory compliance.
METHODOLOGY
Noise monitoring equipment will be placed in areas of potel
tial impact either from operation of in-lagoon constructiol
equipment or from traffic on nearby transportation corrido~
(i.e., trucks used for disposal of materials).
Noise data developed in prior studies will be evaluated. Monitoring equipment will be placed in areas adjacent to ser.sitive receptors that may register noise impacts as a result of construction or transportation activities. Com- puterized noise projections will be developed using the STAMINA/OPTIMA or other appropriate noise model. Noise estimates will be developed for areas of potential impact, and maps will depict noise levels relative to sensitive receptors. The City's interim noise ordinance will be use( to assess the likelihood of compliance with local regula-
tions.
PRODUCT
A noise evaluation will be prepared, with associated maps, for inclusion in the EIR/EIS document.
TASK 11--BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this task is to assess the status of five species that are covered by federal and state protected sp cies regulations which are thought to occur in the vicinit of the Batiquitos Lagoon. These species are: the Cali- fornia least tern, snowy plover, least Bell's vireo, Beld- ing's savannah sparrow, and the California brown pelican.
PD123.052 14
0 e
METHODOLOGY
Information on the status of federal and state threatened and endangered species at Batiquitos Lagoon is fragmentary
and spread among various status reports and unpublished
field journals, A species of concern, the least Bell's vireo, may breed occasionally in riparian areas at the lagoon if suitable nesting habitat is present. Belding's
savannah sparrow was observed at the lagoon during the 198;
surveys. The Enhancement Plan has specific provisions for California least tern habitat conservation and enhancement,
The California brown pelican was included in the Enhancemer Plan as a species of concern. A Biological Assessment
report that discusses each of these species will be preparc
for submittal by the Corps to the USFWS.
Consultation with USFWS and CDFG will be undertaken by the
Corps at the outset of this scope of work. Pertinent docu. ments on the target species will be reviewed. Data devel- oped in the 1987 and 1988 surveys will be reviewed with dad from agency representatives working with these species. Potential breeding habitats for the Bell's vireo will be
evaluated and specifically surveyed twice during the 1988
breeding season, Data on all species will be analyzed in terms of the proposed project engineering and potential impacts.
The information will be collated and included in a Biologi.
cal Assessment, as required by Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act. The preparation of the Biological Assessment
will be led by the Corps as mandated by federal require-
ments. The Consultant will prepare information on the fivc species listed above, based on the 1987 and spring 1988 field surveys, and will present it in a draft Biological
Assessment for Corps use.
The draft Biological Assessment will address endangered
species inhabiting the lagoon, their numbers, phenology, a
habitat requirements. The potential effect of Enhancement Plan alternatives on these species will be assessed and
incorporated into the document. Conservation measures (as previously developed through PACTEX and new measures) will be described that would reduce or eliminate impacts to the subject species. A preliminary draft Biological Assessmen will be submitted to the project management team. After review and revisions, it will be formally presented to the Corps for submittal to USFWS. The Consultant will partici pate in four agency meetings before and during the consult tion process. The Biological Assessment will be summarize in the EIR/EIS.

AhSSESSnEKT OF BLBP ON LITTORAL DRIFT
The impacts of the proposed Batiquitos Lagoon jetties and bead nourishment on local littoral drift will be accomplished through a numeri- cal nodel of the shoreline between Agua Hedionda extending to the south 01 Encinitas. The shoreline model will compute longshore transport at ap
proximately 2000 foot increments along the shoreline and will take intl account the impacts of the jetties, the beach nourishment, Agua flediondl maintenance dredging, and the proposed Oceanside Harbor sand bypass opera, tidns. The model to be used vi11 be structured after GENESIS which ir
presently being developed by CERC for such applications.
The computer shoreline model will take as input the local' wave coridi- tians as measured in the Coast of California Storm and Tidal Uave Stud]
(CCSTWS) presently being undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District. Hodel calibration will consist of comparing model predictions of shorelin2 locations with shoreline surveys aleo availablc through CCSTWS given the observed wave climate during the shoreline profil- ing study. The calibration period may include the period rxtenCing a6 fa]
back as 1983 through the present but will more likely include soae subsel of this period due to data availability. The prediction of futur4 shoreline locations will be made using wave statistics generated from thc
observed wave climate at Oceanside and Del Mar as part of the CCSTWS. '!A
future shoreline predictions will be made assuming the preliminary desigl for the Batiquitos jetties and beach nourishment as veil as the absence 01 these features to determine the actual impact.
The computer shoreline model uill include the effects of wave diffrac- tion and refraction near the presence of jetties and nearshore bathymetry
as well as inland sediment sources end sinks and offshore losses. Other sediment budget studies prepared under the CCSTVS in thls region will bc
used for comparison with model predictions.
