1.0 Scope of Report
A Master report, "Storm Water Management Plan Quarry Creek," dated March 19, 2015, was
prepared for the Quarry Creek project by Project Design Consultants (PDC). The PDC master
report summarizes the storm water requirements for the entire Quarry Creek project, including
combination (bioretention, water quality and detention) basins "BB-1", "BB 3-2A", and "BB 3-
2B" are located south of the R-1 and R-2 Planning Areas. Runoff from the R-1 and R-2 sites are
tributary to the one or more combination basins and are not cleanly delineated for comparison
purposes. Further, the PDC master report details the design and modeling of the bioretention
basins using continuous simulation modeling (SDHM), rather than the BMP sizing tables. A
copy of the Basin Area Exhibit from the Master SWMP Report is included in the Attachments
Section.
This report is limited to documenting the following at the Planning Area R-1 & R-2 site:
A) Site Design
B) Source Control
C) Tributary area and impervious area, including comparisons to those used in the PDC
report (R-1 & R-2 combined).
D) Compliance and consistency with the assumptions and design parameters used in the
PDC master report (R-1 & R-2 combined).
1.1 Declaration of Responsible Charge
This Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared under the direction of the
following Professional Civil Engineer. The Professional Civil Engineer (Engineer) attests to the
technical information contained herein, and to the engineering data upon which the following
design, recommendations, conclusions and decisions are based. The selection, sizing, and design
of the storm water treatment and other control measures in this report meet the requirements of
the Regional Water Quality Control Board Order R9-2007-0001 and subsequent amendments.

3.0 Pre-Project Site Conditions and Drainage Patterns Narrative
The Planning Area R-1 & R-2 sites are part of the larger master plan Quarry Creek development.
The project is located in the City of Carlsbad (City), but is bordered to the east by the City of
Oceanside. The project is situated west of College Boulevard, east of Interstate 5, and south of
Haymar Drive.
The R-1 and R-2 Planning Areas are located in the northeastern portion of the Quarry Creek
development. R-1 is part of the initial phase of the Quarry Creek project and includes
preparation of the large sheet graded pads, and construction of public roads, public utilities, and
the LID facilities required for both current and future phases of the project.
The total tributary area to basin's BBl, BB2-3A, and BB2-3B is approximately 27.58 acres,
expected to be high density residential as well as streets, according to the PDC report. See
Section 16 for a comparison of tributary and impervious areas.

4.0 Proposed Site Development and Drainage Patterns Narrative
In order to verify the sizing of the basins, this report will compare combined areas from R-1, R-
2, and offsite portions. This report compares the total areas discharging into each basin (BB-2-
3A, BB2-3B, and BB-1). The areas were designed to be consistent with the total areas assumed
in the PDC report which include offsite areas .
The R-1 area is the multi-family residential development. A total of 64 units will be constructed,
consisting of various attached product types and both 2 and 3 story buildings The R-2 area will
also be included in this report with a total of 278 units .
R-1 is approximately 3.22 acres with a net developable area of 3.17 acres and R-2 is
approximately 15.40 acres, with a net developable area of approximately 13.63 acres. This yields
a net project density of approximately 20 dwelling units per acre for both projects, which
corresponds to High Density Residential (HDR) per Table 3-1 "Runoff coefficients for Urban
Areas" of the San Diego County Hydrology Manual .
The development of the R-1 and R-2 Planning Area are predominately attached multifamily
buildings with surface parking and private storm drain systems. The projects will route runoff
through the onsite private drainage systems to discharge to the various bio-retention basin BB-1,
BB2-3A, and BB2-3B. See Section 16 for a comparison of impervious and tributary areas.
The limits of basin BB-1 were revised, and the surface area is slightly larger (approximately 9%)
than the previous basin . Refer to Exhibit "A" in the Section 18 Figures for the revised BB-1
basin and the bottom area comparison.

Total Basin Area 4.69 5.20
Total Impervious Area 11.28 11.75
Total Drainage Area 27.04 27.58
The above comparison confirms that the proposed impervious areas and tributary areas to each
basin are consistent with the original design assumptions in the Master SWMP (PDC).
The grading for Basin BB-1 was subsequently revised, creating a larger water quality basin area
than originally designed. The bottom basin area increased from 14,316 SF to 15,612 SF
(approximately 9% increase) which will allow for treatment of a larger impervious area to drain
into Basin BB-1. Please refer to Exhibit "A" in the Figures Section for a copy of the basin
changes.
Notes:
The proposed tributary drainage areas and impervious areas are shown on SWMP Exhibit for
Quarry Creek R-1/R-2 in the Map Pocket.
A copy of the "Summary of Drainage & Impervious Areas" form the Master WOTR (PDC) 1s
provided in the Attachments Sections.
The offsite future cultural center development east of the R-1 site will be per a separate project;
therefore an impervious area cannot be calculated at this time.

This SWMP has identified the project as a Priority category that is required to implement Low
Impact Development, Treatment Control, and hydromodification mitigation measures. The
potential pollutants to be generated from this project have been identified and compared to the
impairments of all downstream bodies of water leading to the Pacific Ocean .
In order to mitigate for these potential pollutants, the combined R-1 and R-2 Planning Areas and
existing offsite street improvements will discharge to bioretention basins BB 3-2A, BB 3-2B and
BB-1 as defined and described in the Master SWMP (PDDC). These basins also mitigate for
potential hydromodification impacts to the downstream receiving waters .
As shown in the comparison table in Section 16.0, the proposed impervious and total basin
tributary areas are consistent with PDC's original design assumptions. The R-1 and R-2 Planning
Areas are consistent with the applicable Integrated Management Practices (IMPs) to be
constructed in accordance with the Master SWMP and construction drawings.

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) .
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 ls 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 .
ff 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 Step 1 and follow the instructions. W11en completed, sign the form at the end and submit this with your
application to the city .

Dear Mr. ~obson:
. . .
In accorda~ce .with your authorization, we are plyased to submit the resiµts of our update
geotech,nlcal inyestigation for the proposed Quarry Creel_c proj ~ct. Conclusions and rec9mmyndations
present~d hereln are based on review of available published geot~chnical reports and literature,
observations during previous grading perfonned on the properly for reclamation, previous subsurface
geotechnical exploration and site reconnaissance of existing conditions.
Th~ eastern half of the property has been used for mining and crushing rock to produce commercial
aggregates. As the result, the eastern half of the site is underlain by compacted fill, previously placed_
fill, undocumented fill, sedimentary, volcani<.;, and intrusive bedrock. Reclamation gr~ding has
occurred on this portion of the site._ The western half of the site is in an ungraded natural condition.
The ~ccompanying report presents fmdings from our studies relative to geotecbnical engineering
aspects: of developing the prope~ty. -pie site is considered suitable for the proposed improvements
provided the recommendations of this rep9rt are followed.
Should you have questions regarding this report, or if we may be of further service, please contact

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
From a geotechnical engineering .standpoint, it is ow-opinion that the site is suitable for the
proposed development, provided the recommendations presented herein are implemented
in design and construction of the project.
Soil conditions identified during this study that may impact development include
compressible surficial soils (undocumented fill, alluvium, .. colluvium, surficial landslide
debris and topsoil) that will require remedial grading. Undocumented fill may contain
large rock fragments that require special placement procedures.
The property is approximately 7 miles from the Newport Inglewooo/Rose Canyon Fault. It
is our opinion active and potentially active faults do not extend across or trend toward the
site. Risks associated with seismic activity consist of the potential for strong seismic
shaking. Building setbacks will not be required for the planned development due to
faulting.
Several potential surficial landslides are mapped along the north"facing slope within the
western portion of the site. Due to the limited access, these areas could not be reached for
subsurface investigation. If encountered during the grading operations, total removal of the
slide debris within the· grading area is recommended.
Subsurface conditions observed may be extrapolated to reflect general soil/geologic
conditions; however, some. variations in subsurface conditions between trench and boring
locations should be anticipated.
7.2 Excavation and Soil Characteristics
7.2.1
7.2.2
Excavation ·of the Terrace Deposits, Santiago Formation and weathered portion of the
Salto Intrusive is expected to require a heavy to very heavy effort to excavate. Less
weathered and fresh Saito Intrusive bedrock may require blasting or specialized rock
breaking techniques to efficiently excavate and handle. Very heavy effort with possible
refusal is expected for ·excavations into the volcanic and intrusive rocks. Oversize material
may be generated which would require special handling or exportation from the site.
The soil encountered in the field investigation is considered to be "expansive" (expansion
index greater than 20) as defined by 2013 California Building Code (CBC) Section
1803.5.3. Table 7.2 presents soil classifications based on the expansion index. Based on
Project No. 07135-42-05 -11 -February 24, 2015
