Presented within this document are the water quality measures required for the development of Planning Area #3 - Building 10 at the La Costa Resort and Spa, in order to fulfill the requirements of the City of Carlsbad. This report also describes the implementation and maintenance of water quality Best-Management Practices that will be installed on the site. 2 PROJECT INFORMATION 2.1 Project Description The project is located within the City of Carlsbad at the La Costa Resort and Spa (CT- 07-08). The campus is bound by El Camino Real to the west, Arenal Road to the north, and San Marcos Creek to the south. Planning Area 3 is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of El Camino Real and Costa Del Mar Road (see Figure 2-1). The existing site is a vacant dirt lot. The western boundary is sloped at 2:1 from the existing screen wall; the remainder of the site is graded at approximately 5% toward the southern property line. There are no existing buildings within the project site. The site is located approximately 1,000 feet from the San Marcos Creek. The project site contains side slopes of 2:1 or less. The project is not located within the Coastal Zone. Iti land use designation is Travel/Recreation Commercial. There are no sanitary landfills, historical, archaeological or paleontological resources located within a half-mile of the project site. 2.2 Project Activities I The project will consist of a commercial dwelling building (9,315 sq. ft.) and parking lot (12,000 sq. ft. Landscaping will be incorporated into the planter islands and at the perimeter of the building and parking lot. There is one private driveway proposed as part I of this project. The driveway will provide access to the site from Building 4 and connect with the site located to the south. Drainage from the project will be directed into a proposed storm drain system and connected to an existing piping system that will I ultimately outlet to the San Marcos Creek located at the southerly boundary of the La Costa Resort campus. Approximately 90% of the site will be re-graded as part of this project. I The project is considered a high priority project by the City of Carlsbad (See Appendix A - "Storm Water Requirements Applicability Checklist"). Therefore, the project will I incorporate all applicable permanent storm water management requirements. These include the site design and source control BMPs, BMPs applicable to individual priority project categories, and treatment control BMP requirements.

As indicated in Section 2.2, the project will consist of a commercial dwelling building totaling 9,315 sq. ft. and 12,000 sq. ft. of parking lot (See Site Map), thus the project falls into the parking lot priority project category, as indicated in Table 3-1. Potential pollutants of concern associated with this priority project category include: La Costa Resort - Tentative Map Planning Area 3, Building 10 Storm Water Management Plan + Sediments (since there will be landscaped areas on site); I I] I I I I I I I I 1 I I 1 I I I I I STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN :. Nutrients (since there will be landscaped areas on site); :• Metals (associated with vehicle parking); :• Litter and trash collecting in the drainage systems; :• Oxygen-demanding substances including biodegradable organic material and chemicals; Oils, grease, and other hydrocarbons emanating from paved areas on the site; Pesticides used to control nuisance growth; and 3.1.1 Sediment Sediments are soils or other surface materials eroded and then transported or deposited by the action of wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediments can increase turbidity, clog fish gills, reduce spawning habitat, lower young aquatic organisms survival rates, smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic vegetation growth. 3.1.2 Nutrients Nutrients are inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. They commonly exist in the form of mineral salts that are either dissolved or suspended in water. Primary sources of nutrients in urban runoff are fertilizers and eroded soils. Excessive discharge of nutrients to water bodies and streams can cause excessive aquatic algae and plant growth. Such excessive production, referred to as cultural eutrophication, may lead to excessive decay of organic matter in the water body, loss of oxygen in the water, release of toxins in sediment, and the eventual death of aquatic organisms. 3.1.3 Metals Metals are raw material components in non-metal products such as fuels, adhesives, paints, and other coatings. The primary sources of metal pollution in storm water are typically commercially available metals and metal products. Metals of concern include cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc. Lead and chromium have been used as corrosion inhibitors in primer coatings and cooling tower systems. At low concentrations naturally occurring in soil, metals are not toxic. However, at higher concentrations, certain metals can be toxic to aquatic life. Humans can be impacted from contaminated groundwater resources, and bioaccumulation of metals in fish and shellfish. Environmental concerns, regarding the potential for release of metals to the environment, have already led to restricted metal usage in certain applications. 3.1.4 Trash and Debris Trash (such as paper, plastic, polystyrene packing foam, and aluminum materials) and biodegradable organic matter (such as leaves, grass cuttings, and food waste) are general waste products on the landscape. The presence of trash and debris may have a significant impact on the recreational value of a water body and aquatic habitat. Excess organic matter can create a high biochemical oxygen demand in a stream and thereby lower its water quality. Also, in areas where stagnant water exists, the presence of excess organic matter can promote septic conditions resulting in the growth of undesirable organisms and the release of odorous and hazardous compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. 3.1.5 Oxygen-Demanding Substances I I La Costa Resort -Tentative Map Planning Area 3, Building 10 5 Storm Water Management Plan [1 I U I I I I I 1-1 I 1 I I H I I I STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN This category includes biodegradable organic material as well as chemicals that react with dissolved oxygen in water to form other compounds. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are examples of biodegradable organic compounds. Compounds such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are examples of oxygen-demanding compounds. The oxygen demand of a substance can lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen in a water body and possibly the development of septic conditions. 3.1.6 Oil and Grease Oil and grease are characterized as high-molecular weight organic compounds. The primary sources of oil and grease are petroleum hydrocarbon products, motor products from leaking vehicles, esters, oils, fats, waxes, and high molecular-weight fatty acids. Introduction of these pollutants to the water bodies are very possible due to the wide uses and applications of some of these products in municipal, residential, commercial, industrial, and construction areas. Elevated oil and grease content can decrease the aesthetic value of the water body, as well as the water quality. 3.1.7 Pesticides I Pesticides (including herbicides) are chemical compounds commonly used to control nuisance growth of organisms. Excessive application of a pesticide may result in runoff I containing toxic levels of its active component. 3.2 Pollutants of Concern I The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the primary federal agency responsible for management of water quality in the United States. The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the federal law that governs water quality control activities initiated by the EPA and I others. Section 303 of the CWA requires the adoption of water quality standards for all surface water in the United States. Under Section 303(d), individual states are required to develop lists of water bodies that do not meet water quality objectives after required I levels of treatment by point source dischargers. Total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for all pollutants for which these water bodies are listed must be developed in order to bring them into compliance with water quality objectives. I The project is located within the San Marcos hydrologic area of the Carlsbad hydrologic unit. Receiving waters for the project site include the San Marcos Creek, the Batiquitos Lagoon and ultimately the Pacific Ocean. I Table 3-2 summarizes the receiving waters and their classification by the RWQCB Region 9.

However, the changes in hydrologic I characteristics resulting from the development of this site have already been incorporated into the downstream storm drain system design. Runoff from Planning Area 3 will discharge into an existing 36-inch storm drain to a diversion structure located I just downstream of a CDS unit. The diversion structure directs water to the San Marcos Creek and Batiquitos Lagoon. A separate drainage report (Drainage Study for La Costa Resort & Spa, prepared by Hunsaker & Associates, dated September 15, 2006) has I been prepared to support the design of the existing storm drain system. This study assumed ultimate conditions for the La Costa Resort & Spa campus when determining pipe sizes and impacts to downstream facilities. Since runoff from the project I discharges into new and existing drainage facilities that are verified to accommodate peak runoff flow rates from a 100-year storm event, there are no conditions of concern associated with the project. The Federal Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for this area shows that the project's location is out of the 100-year floodplain.

These types are (1) site design BMPs; (2) source control BMPs; (3) site design and source control BMPs for individual priority project categories; and (4) treatment control BMPs. In general, site design BMPs and source control BMPs reduce the amount of storm water and potential pollutants emanating from a site and focus on pollution prevention. Treatment-control BMPs target anticipated potential storm water pollutants. The project will apply these BMPs to the maximum extent practicable. 4.1 Site Design BMPs Site design BMPs aim to conserve natural areas and minimize impervious cover, especially impervious areas 'directly connected' to receiving waters, in order to maintain or reduce increases in peak flow velocities from the project site. The U.S. EPA (2002) has listed several site design BMPs that can be implemented in development projects. The project has incorporated site design BMPs to the maximum extent practicable. Table 4-1 lists site-design BMP alternatives and indicates the practices that have been applied to the project site. Table 4-1 Site design BMPs alternatives. El Eliminating Curbs And Gutters Z Landscape Design Z Other (Explained Below) 4.1.1 Protect Slopes and Channels Site runoff will be directed away from the tops of slopes, and all slopes will be vegetated to provide permanent stabilization. 4.2 Source Control BMPs Source-control BMPs are activities, practices, and procedures (primarily non-structural) that are designed to prevent urban runoff pollution. These measures either reduce the amount of runoff from the site or prevent contact between potential pollutants and storm water. In addition, source-control BMPs are often the best method to address non-storm (dry-weather) flows. Table 4-2 lists source-control BMP alternatives and indicates the practices that will be applied at the project site.

The completed project will I implement principles of common-area efficient irrigation, runoff-minimizing landscape design, and an effective landscape maintenance plan to the maximum extent practicable. 1 4.2.1.1 Common-Area Efficient Irrigation Automatic irrigation systems should include water sensors, programmable irrigation ' timers, automatic valves to shut-off water in case of rapid pressure drop (indicating possible water leaks), or other measures to ensure the efficient application of water to the landscape and prevent unnecessary runoff from irrigation. Drip irrigation and other low-water irrigation methods should be considered where feasible. Common elements I of efficient irrigation programs include: I .:. Reset irrigation controllers according to seasonal needs. :• Do not over-water landscape plants or lawns. :. Keep irrigation equipment in good working condition. Promptly repair all water leaks. I .:. 4.2.1.2 Runoff-Minimizing Landscape Design Landscape designs that group plants with similar water requirements can reduce excess irrigation runoff and promote surface infiltration. Landscape designs should utilize non- invasive native plant species and plants with low water requirements when possible. I 4.2.1.3 Landscape Maintenance The landscape maintenance plan should include a regular sweeping program of impervious surfaces, litter pick-up, and proper equipment maintenance (preferably off- site), and proper use of chemicals to help eliminate sources of storm water pollutants. Common elements of an effective landscape maintenance plan include: :• Implementing a regular program of sweeping sidewalks, driveways, and gutters as part of the landscape maintenance plan. Pick-up litter frequently. Provide convenient trash receptacles for public use if necessary. La Costa Resort - Tentative Map Planning Area 3, Building 10 9 Storm Water Management Plan STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Avoid using water to clean sidewalks, driveways, and other areas. I • Discourage washing of landscape maintenance equipment on-site. Minimize water use and do not use soaps or chemicals. Use a commercial wash-rack facility whenever possible. I •:• Keep landscape maintenance equipment in good working order. Fix all leaks promptly, and use drip pans/drip cloths when draining and replacing fluids. Collect P all spent fluids and dispose of them properly. Designate equipment maintenance areas that are away from storm water inlets. Perform major maintenance and repairs off-site if feasible. I + Materials with the potential to pollute runoff (soil, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, detergents, petroleum products, and other materials) should be handled, delivered, applied, and disposed of with care following manufacturer's labeled directions and in I accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations. Materials will be stored under cover or otherwise protected when rain is forecast or during wet weather. :. Pesticides and fertilizers, if used, will be applied according to manufacturer's directions and will not be applied prior to a forecast rain event. Any material broadcast onto paved surfaces (e.g. parking areas or sidewalks) will be promptly swept up and properly disposed. 41.2 Material and Trash Storage Area Design There are no outdoor material storage areas associated with the proposed project. The trash storage area will be designed to contain stored material to prevent debris from being distributed into storm water collection areas. For example, dumpsters with lids will be kept in a separate enclosed area to prevent debris from being scattered by wind or animals. The trash storage area will be paved with an impervious surface such as concrete or asphalt concrete. In addition, the trash storage area will be graded to prevent run-on from adjoining areas. 4.2.3 Pollution Prevention Outreach for Businesses One source-control best management practice for commercial sites is pollution prevention outreach. For instance, at the lease signing or as part of the lease, the tenant can be presented with a brochure to encourage them to develop and implement a pollution prevention program. The pollution prevention program would emphasize source reduction, reuse and recycling, and energy recovery. The following offer suggestions for measures to be included in these areas of pollution prevention. The pollution prevention outreach should choose the measures most applicable to the project site for the project site. 4.2.3.1 Source Reduction Incorporating environmental considerations into the designing of products, buildings, and manufacturing systems enables them to be more resource efficient. La Costa Resort - Tentative Map Planning Area 3, Building 10 10 Storm Water Management Plan WF STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Rethinking daily operations and maintenance activities can help industries eliminate wasteful management practices that increase costs and cause pollution. Controlling the amount of water used in cleaning or manufacturing can produce less wastewater. I • Re-engineering and redesigning a facility or certain operation can take advantage of newer, cleaner and more efficient process equipment. I • Buying the correct amount of raw material will decrease the amount of excess materials that are discarded (for example, paints that have a specified shelf life). I 4.2.3.2 Reuse/Recycling + Using alternative materials for cleaning, coating, lubrication, and other production I processes can provide equivalent results while preventing costly hazardous waste generation, air emissions, and worker health risks. I + Using "green" products decreases the use of harmful or toxic chemicals (and are more energy efficient than other products). I + One company's waste may be another company's raw materials. Finding markets for waste can reduce solid waste, lessen consumption of virgin resources, increase income for sellers, and provide an economical resource supply for the buyers. I 4.2.3.3 Energy Recovery I • Using energy, water, and other production inputs more efficiently keeps air and water clean, reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, cuts operating costs, and improves productivity. 4.2.3 Storm Drain Stenciling and Signage I All new storm drain grate inlets constructed as part of this project will be signed with the message "No Dumping - Drains to Oceans" or equivalent message as directed by the City. I I 4.3 BMPs for Individual Project Categories The City of Carlsbad SUSMP lists ten individual project categories for which BMPs must be provided. Table 4-3 below lists these individual project categories and indicates that I the individual category of parking areas is applicable to the proposed project. Inlets equipped with filter inserts treat any runoff generated and additional treatment is provided as discussed in Section 4.4. Slopes will be vegetated to provide permanent stabilization and to prevent erosion.

Structural BMPs are an integral element of post-construction storm water management and may include storage, filtration, and infiltration practices. BMPs have varying degrees of effectiveness versus different pollutants of concern. Table 4-4 below summarizes which treatment control BMPs and removal effectiveness for certain constituents.

Original Sources: Guidance Specifying Management Measures for Sources of Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Waters (1993), National Stormwater Best Management Practices Database (2001), and Guide for BMP Selection in Urban Developed Areas (2001). 4.4.1 Treatment Control BMP Selection The selection, design and siting of structural BMPs for Planning Area 1 depend largely on the project-wide drainage plan and previously approved Master Storm Water Management Plan, prepared by Rick Engineering, dated October 29, 2003. BMP alternatives were evaluated for their relative effectiveness for treating potential pollutants from the project site; technical feasibility; relative costs and benefits; and applicable legal, institutional, and other constraints. Table 4-5 below lists treatment-control BMP alternatives and identifies the BMPs selected for the project site. Treatment Control BMPs function to mitigate pollutants of concern anticipated from project activities. Receiving waters downstream of the project site are impaired for bacterial indicators, DDE, Phosphorus and sediment toxicity, as shown in Table 3-2. The proposed project activities are not anticipated to produce bacteria, DDE, phosphorus or sediment toxicity, as shown in Table 3-1, there are no primary pollutants of concern associated with the project, these are considered secondary pollutants of concern. Treatment control BMPs for this project were chosen to treat the secondary pollutants of concern at no less than a "low removal efficiency" as shown in Table 4-4.

El Vegetated Swales and/or Strips El Wet Ponds/Wetlands El Dry Extended Detention Basins El Infiltration Basins 0 Bio-Retention Areas El Sand or Organic Filters El Hydrodynamic Separators El Infiltration Trenches Catch Basin/Inlet Inserts El Other (Explained Below) Of the treatment control options available for this project, infiltration practices are not feasible due to the preponderance of hydrologic soil type D throughout the site, which has poor infiltration properties. Wet ponds and constructed wetlands rely on a perennial water source, which is generally difficult to sustain in the project's and environment. While filtration devices, such as sand filters and media filters, typically have medium to high removal efficiencies for the project's pollutants of concern, they are aesthetically unsuitable for use in developments such as this project. An underground sand/media filter might improve aesthetics, but since the proposed project site consists of a generally flat graded pad, implementing several filters for the small drainage areas is not feasible due to the lack of required head needed to ensure that water passes through the filter. 4.4.1.1 Drainage Filter Inserts To provide additional treatment and removal of potential pollutants, drainage inlet inserts will be installed in all storm drain inlets capturing runoff from the parking lots. Kristar Floguard Plus® inserts or equivalent will be specified to treat runoff for hydrocarbons and trash/debris. The Kristar Floguard Plus® inlet insert is shown in Figure 4-1, and is similar in design and function to other proprietary inlet inserts. Surface runoff enters the inlet and passes over/through and adsorbent material to remove hydrocarbons, while sediments and trash/debris are collected in the hanging basket. Recommended maintenance consists of three inspections per year (once before the wet season and two during, or more as may be needed) plus replacement of the adsorbent when it is more than 50% coated with pollutants and removal of excessive sediment/debris. Each inlet insert costs about $570 and is available locally through Downstream Services (760-746- 2544 or 760-746-2667). The inserts can be installed by Downstream Services for additional cost or by the project construction contractor. Maintenance costs are estimated at about $400 per year. (Refer to Appendix B for design calculations).

The storm water treatment units are mechanical separators that physically reduce sediment, trash, debris, and oil and grease from the flow and pesticides that attached to sediment. The unit is considered a hydrodynamic separator system. The hydrodynamic separator systems rank low to medium in removal efficiency for the project's pollutants of concern. Refer to the approved Master Drainage Study for La Costa Resort & Spa, prepared by Hunsaker Associates, dated September 15, 2006, for back-up calculations regarding the storm water treatment unit. 4.5 Construction-Phase BMPs Additional best management practices to prevent reduce, and/or treat storm water pollution will be implemented during the construction phase of the project. Because the site is considered a Medium Priority Construction Project by the City of Carlsbad, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be developed for the project site under separate cover and will be incorporated by reference into this document. I I La Costa Resort - Tentative Map Planning Area 3, Building 10 15 Storm Water Management Plan I I I I I I I STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN 5 LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT Low Impact Development (LID) is an alternative method of land development that seeks to maintain the natural hydrologic character of the site. Per the Draft County of San Diego Low Impact Development Handbook and in anticipation for the future City of Carlsbad Municipal Permit LID requirement, LID BMPs have been included as part of our site design. LID BMPs will collectively minimize directly connected impervious areas and promote infiltration. 5.1 Porous Pavement Porous pavement will be used in a portion of the parking lot. The advantages of porous pavement are that they reduce runoff volume while providing treatment and are unobtrusive. It is comprised of a permeable surface places over a granular course on top of a reservoir of large stone. The porous pavement has been designed according to the recommendations of the 2003 California New Development BMP Handbook, Fact Sheet SD-20. Porous pavement has high removal efficiencies for all potential pollutants identified for this site. 5.2 Roof Runoff Disconnect A portion of the roof drainage will drain into pervious areas prior to entering the closed drainage system. This disconnect allows an opportunity to reduce rate and increase infiltration at the project site. 6 MAINTENANCE To ensure long-term maintenance of project BMPs, the project proponent will enter into a contract with the City of Carlsbad to obligate the project proponent to maintain, repair and replace the storm water BMP as necessary into perpetuity. Security will be required in the form of a Letter of Credit. The site shall be kept in a neat and orderly fashion with a regularly scheduled landscape maintenance crew in charge of keeping gutters and inlets free of litter and debris. The landscape crew will also maintain the landscaping to prevent soil erosion and minimize sediment transport. The project consists of a series of catch basins, which will include Kristar Floguard Plus® inlet inserts. It is recommended that the hydrocarbon absorption booms be replaced four times per year. Currently the approximate cost to replace each boom is $100.00. This amounts to a maintenance cost of $400.00 per year, per inlet. Maintenance records shall be retained for at least 5-years. These records shall be made available to the City of Carlsbad for inspection upon request.

Drain Inserts MP-52 Description Dram inserts are manufactured filters or fabric placed in a drop inlet to remove sediment and debris. There are a multitude of inserts of various shapes and configurations, typically falling into one of three different groups: socks, boxes, and trays. The sock consists of a fabric, usually constructed of polypropylene. The fabric may be attached to a frame or the grate of the inlet holds the sock. Socks are meant for vertical (drop) inlets. Boxes are constructed of plastic or wire mesh. Typically a polypropylene "bag" is placed in the wire mesh box. The bag takes the form of the box. Most box products are one box; that is, the setting area and filtration through media occur in the same box. Some products consist of one or more trays or mesh grates. The trays may hold different types of media. Filtration media vary by manufacturer. Types include polypropylene, porous polymer, treated cellulose, and activated carbon. 1 I I I I I I California Experience The number of installations is unknown but likely exceeds a thousand. Some users have reported that these systems require considerable maintenance to prevent plugging and bypass. Advantages Does not require additional space as inserts as the drain inlets are already a component of the standard drainage systems. Easy access for inspection and maintenance. As there is no standing water, there is little concern for mosquito breeding. A relatively inexpensive retrofit option. Limitations I I I I I I I I I I Performance is likely significantly less than treatment systems that are located at the end of the drainage system such as ponds and vaults. Usually not suitable for large areas or areas with trash or leaves than can plug the insert. Design and Sizing Guidelines Refer to manufacturer's guidelines. Drain inserts come any many configurations but can be placed into three general groups: socks, boxes, and trays. The sock consists of a fabric, usually constructed of polypropylene. The fabric may be attached to a frame or the grate of the inlet holds the sock. Socks are meant for vertical (drop) inlets. Boxes are constructed of plastic or wire mesh. Typically a polypropylene "bag" is placed in the wire mesh box. The bag takes the form of the box. Most box products are I January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 3 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com MP-52 Drain Inserts one box; that is, the setting area and filtration through media occurs in the same box. One manufacturer has a double-box. Stormwater enters the first box where setting occurs. The stormwater flows into the second box where the filter media is located. Some products consist of one or more trays or mesh grates. The trays can hold different types of media Filtration media vary with the manufacturer: types include polypropylene, porous polymer, treated cellulose, and activated carbon. Construction/Inspection Considerations Be certain that installation is done in a manner that makes certain that the stormwater enters the unit and does not leak around the perimeter. Leakage between the frame of the insert and the frame of the dram inlet can easily occur with vertical (drop) inlets. Performance Few products have performance data collected under field conditions. Siting Criteria It is recommended that inserts be used only for retrofit situations or as pretreatment where other treatment BMPs presented in this section area used. Additional Design Guidelines Follow guidelines provided by individual manufacturers. Maintenance Likely require frequent maintenance, on the order of several times per year. Cost The initial cost of individual inserts ranges from less than $100 to about $2,000. The cost of using multiple units in curb inlet drains varies with the size of the inlet. The low cost of inserts may tend to favor the use of these systems over other, more effective treatment BMPs. However, the low cost of each unit may be offset by the number of units that are required, more, frequent maintenance, and the shorter structural life (and therefore replacement).

The Settling Velocity I is difference from wet vaults, however, is that the vortex separator round, rather than rectangular, and the water moves in a Appropriate Sizing centrifugal fashion before exiting. By having the water move in a Inlet Pipe Diameter circular fashion, rather than a straight line as is the case with a I standard wet vault, it is possible to obtain significant removal of suspended sediments and attached pollutants with less space. Vortex separators were originally developed for combined sewer I overflows (CSOs), where it is used primarily to remove coarse inorganic solids. Vortex separation has been adapted to stormwater treatment by several manufacturers. I California Experience There are currently about 100 installations in California I Advantages Targeted Constituents May provide the desired performance in less space and L1 Sediment A • I therefore less cost. . I1 Nutrients May be more cost-effective pre-treatment devices than El Trash I traditional wet or dry basins. I1 Metals Mosquito control may be less of an issue than with traditional Bacteria El Oil and Grease I El wet basins. Organics Limitations Legend (Removal Effectiveness) As some of the systems have standing water that remains Low U High I between storms, there is concern about mosquito breeding. A Medium It is likely that vortex separators are not as effective as wet I vaults at removing fine sediments, on the order 50 to 100 microns in diameter and less. I . The area served is limited by the capacity of the largest models. I . As the products come in standard sizes, the facilities will be oversized in many cases relative to the design treatment storm, increasing the cost. I . The non-steady flows of stormwater decreases the efficiency of vortex separators from what may be estimated or - determined from testing under constant flow. . Do not remove dissolved pollutants. I January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com MP-51 Vortex Separator A loss of dissolved pollutants may occur as accumulated organic matter (e.g., leaves) decomposes in the units. Design and Sizing Guidelines The storniwater enters, typically below the effluent line, tangentially into the basin, thereby imparting a circular motion in the system. Due to centrifugal forces created by the circular motion, the suspended particles move to the center of the device where they settle to the bottom. There are two general types of vortex separation: free vortex and dampened (or impeded) vortex. Free vortex separation becomes dampened vortex separation by the placement of radial baffles on the weir-plate that impede the free vortex-flow pattern It has been stated with respect to CSOs that the practical lower limit of vortex separation is a particle with a settling velocity of 12 to 16.5 feet per hour (o.io to 0.14 cm/s). As such, the focus for vortex separation in CSOs has been with settleable solids generally 200 microns and larger, given the presence of the lighter organic solids. For inorganic sediment, the above settling velocity range represents a particle diameter of 50 to 100 microns. Head loss is a function of the size of the target particle. At 200 microns it is normally minor but increases significantly if the goal is to remove smaller particles. The commercial separators applied to stormwater treatment vary considerably with respect to geometry, and the inclusion of radial baffles and internal circular chambers. At one extreme is the inclusion of a chamber within the round concentrator. Water flows initially around the perimeter between the inner and outer chambers, and then into the inner chamber, giving rise to a sudden change in velocity that purportedly enhances removal efficiency. The opposite extreme is to introduce the water tangentially into a round manhole with no internal parts of any kind except for an outlet hood. Whether the inclusion of chambers and baffles gives better performance is unknown. Some contend that free vortex, also identified as swirl concentration, creates less turbulence thereby increasing removal efficiency. One product is unique in that it includes a static separator screen. Sized is based on the peak flow of the design treatment event as specified by local government. If an in-line facility, the design peak flow is four times the peak of the design treatment event. a If an off-line facility, the design peak flow is equal to the peak of the design treatment event. Headloss differs with the product and the model but is generally on the order of one foot or less in most cases. Construction/Inspection Considerations No special considerations. Performance Manufacturer's differ with respect to performance claims, but a general statement is that the manufacturer's design and rated capacity (cfs) for each model is based on and believed to achieve an aggregate reduction of 90% of all particles with a specific gravity of 2.65 (glacial sand) down to 150 microns, and to capture the floatables, and oil and grease. Laboratory tests of 2 of 5 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com I I 1 I I I I I n I I I I I H I 1 I I Vortex Separator MP-51 two products support this claim. The stated performance expectation therefore implies that a lesser removalefficiency is obtained with particles less than 150 microns, and the lighter, organic settleables. Laboratory tests of one of the products found about 60% removal of 50 micron sand at the expected average operating flow rate Experience with the use of vortex separators for treating combined sewer overflows (CSOs), the original application of this technology, suggests that the lower practical limit for particle removal are particles with a settling velocity of 12 feet per hour (Sullivan, 1982), which represents a particle diameter of ioo to 200 microns, depending on the specific gravity of the particle. The CSO experience therefore seems consistent with the limited experience with treating stormwater, summarized above Traditional treatment technologies such as wet ponds and extended detention basins are generally believed to be more effective at removing very small particles, down to the range of in to 20 microns. Hence, it is intuitively expected that vortex separators do not perform as well as the traditional wet and dry basins, and filters. Whether this matters depends on the particle size distribution of the sediments in stormwater. If the distribution leans towards small material, there should be a marked difference between vortex separators and, say, traditional wet vaults. There are little data to support this conjecture In comparison to other treatment technologies, such as wet ponds and grass swales, there are few studies of vortex separators. Only two of manufactured products currently available have been field tested. Two field studies have been conducted. Both achieved in excess of 8o% removal of TSS. However, the test was conducted in the Northeast (New York state and Maine) where it is possible the stormwater contained significant quantities of deicing sand. Consequently, the influent TSS concentrations and particle size are both likely considerably higher than is found in California stormwater. These data suggest that if the stormwater particles are for the most part fine (i.e., less than 50 microns), vortex separators will not be as efficient as traditional treatment BMPs such as wet ponds and swales, if the latter are sized according to the recommendations of this handbook. There are no equations that provide a straightforward determination of efficiency as a function I of unit configuration and size. Design specifications of commercial separators are derived from empirical equations that are unique and proprietary to each manufacturer. However, some general relationships between performance and the geometry of a separator have been I developed. CSO studies have found that the primary determinants of performance of vortex separators are the diameters of the inlet pipe and chamber with all other geometry proportional to these two. I Sullivan et al. (1982) found that performance is related to the ratios of chamber to inlet diameters, D2/D1, and height between the inlet and outlet and the inlet diameter, Hi/Di, shown in Figure 3. The relationships are: as D2/D1 approaches one, the efficiency decreases; and, as I the Hi/Di ratio decreases, the efficiency decreases. These relationships may allow qualitative comparisons of the alternative designs of manufacturers. Engineers who wish to apply these concepts should review relevant publications presented in the References. I Siting Criteria There are no particularly unique siting criteria. The size of the drainage area that can be served I by vortex separators is directly related to the capacities of the largest models. I January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 3 of 5 New Development and Redevelopment www.cabmphandbooks.com 1 I 1 I I I LI [] I I 1 I MP-51 Vortex Separator Additional Design Guidelines Vortex separators have two capacities if positioned as in-line facilities, a treatment capacity and a hydraulic capacity. Failure to recognize the difference between the two may lead to significant under sizing; ie., too small a model is selected. This observation is relevant to three of the five products. These three technologies all are designed to experience a unit flow rate of about 24 gallons/square foot of separator footprint at the peak of the design treatment event. This is the horizontal area of the separator zone within the container, not the total footprint of the unit. At this unit flow rate, laboratory tests by these manufacturers have established that the performance willmeet the general claims previously described. However, the units are sized to handle 100 gallons/square foot at the peak of the hydraulic event. Hence, in selecting a particular model the design engineer must be certain to match the peak flow of the design event to the stated treatment capacity, not the hydraulic capacity. The former is one-fourth the latter. If the unit is positioned as an off-line facility, the model selected is based on the capacity equal to the peak of the design treatment event. Maintenance I Maintenance consists of the removal of accumulated material with an eductor truck. It may be necessary to remove and dispose the floatables separately due to the presence of petroleum product. I Maintenance Requirements Remove all accumulated sediment; and litter and other floatables, annually, unless experience I indicates the need for more or less frequent maintenance. Cost I Manufacturers provide costs for the units including delivery. Installation costs are generally on the order of 50 to 100 % of the manufacturer's cost. For most sites the units are cleaned annually. Cost Considerations The different geometry of the several manufactured separators suggests that when comparing I the costs of these systems to each other, that local conditions (e.g., groundwater levels) may affect the relative cost-effectiveness.

They are designed to treat runoff through filtering by the vegetation in the channel, filterbg through a subsoil matrix, arid/or infiltration into the underlying soils. S wales can be natural or manmade. They trap particulate pollL:ants (suspended solids and trace metals), promcte inliltrati: n, and reduce the flow veic city of stormwater runoff. VegetiJied swales can serve as pan of a stormwater drainage system and can replace curbs, guters and storm sewer systems. Therefore, swales are best suited for residential, inistria1, and commerrial areas with low flow and smaller populaions. Inspection/Maintenance Considerations It is important to consider :hat a thick vegetative cover is needed for vegetated sivales to function properly. UuaIlv, swales require little nnre than ncrmal lancscape maintenance activities such as irrigati 1)11 and mowing to maintain pollutant removal efficiency. Swales can bee :me a nuisance du to mosquito reedin in standing water if obstructions develop (e.g., debrli accumulation, mvasive vegetation) and/or if proper drainage slopes are not implemented and maintained.

Post construction Inspect for signs of erosion, damage to vegetation, channelization of flow, debris and Semi-annual litter, and areas of sediment accumulation. Perform inspections at the beginning and end of the wet season. Additional inspections after periods of heavy runoff are desirable. Inspect level spreader for clogging, grass along side slopes for erosion and formation of Annual rills or gullies, and sand/soil bed for erosion problems. Suggested FMaintenance Activities Frequency Mow grass to maintain a height of 3-4 inches, for safety, aesthetic, or other purposes. As needed Litter should always be removed priorto mowing. Clippings should be composted. (frequent, seasonally) Irrigate swale during dry season (April through October) or when necessary to maintain the vegetation. Provide weed control, if necessary to control invasive species. Remove litter, branches, rocks blockages, and other debris and dispose of properly. Semi-annual Maintain inlet flow spreader (if applicable). Repair any damaged areas within a channel identified during inspections. Erosion rills or gullies should be corrected as needed. Bare areas should be replanted as necessary. Declog the pea gravel diaphragm, if necessary. Annual (as needed) Correct erosion problems in the sand/soil bed of dry swales. Plant an alternative grass species if the original grass cover has not been successfully established. Reseed and apply mulch to damaged areas. Remove all accumulated sediment that may obstruct flow through the swale. Sediment As needed accumulating near culverts and in channels should be removed when it builds up to 3 in. (infrequent) at any spot, or covers vegetation, or once it has accumulated to 10% of the original design volume. Replace the grass areas damaged in the process. Rototill or cultivate the surface of the sand/soil bed of dry swales if the swale does not draw down within 48 hours. 2 of 3 California Stormwatur BMP Handbook January 2003 Municipal www.cabmphandbooks.com Vegetated Swale TC-30 I Additional. Information I Recent research (Colwell et al., 2000) indicates that grass height and mowing frequency have little impact on pollutant removal. Consequently, mowing may only be necessary once or twice a year for safety or aesthetics or to suppress weeds and woody vegetation.

I I 1' I , S I May 1, 2003 I 2 Revised: November 3, 2003 RC:rh\14107\Study\Water Quality Impact Master Plan (002) PROJECT DESCRIPTION This SWMP has been prepared for the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project. The project site is located in the City.of Carlsbad, northeast of Batiquitos Lagoon. The site is bounded by El Camino Real to the west, Arenal Road to the north and San Marcos Creek to the south (see Site Plan Exhibit in Map Pocket). The project proposes to add 190 Resort Villa Units with additional parking, both at grade and subterranean, and pedestrian pathways to the existing Resort facilities. Conveyance of Site Runoff- Existing Condition Prior to the recent construction of the new Spa facility, runoff from the areas to the north and east of the new Ballroom facility (CUP 258(c))was conveyed, via surface flow, southerly down Estrella De Mar Road, onto and westerly down Costa Del Mar Road, where it was collected into three curb inlets adjacent to El Camino Real. Storm runoff collected into these inlets is then routed, southerly, through an existing 36-inch RCP storm drain which discharges into San Marcos Creek. Runoff from the westerly portion of the project site is conveyed southerly, via surface flow, through an existing swale to an existing inlet structure located northeast of the intersection of El Camino Real and Costa Del Mar Road. Runoff collected into this inlet. structure is routed westerly through an existing 36-inch CMP storm drain, under El Camino Real, and is discharged on the west side of El Camino Real. Conveyance of Site Runoff - Developed Condition Surface runoff from the proposed Resort Villa areas will be conveyed, via surface flow, to a series of private inlets/catch basins. Runoff from the surface parking areas will also be collected into a series of private inlets located within the paved areas. Runoff collected into these private inlets/catch basins, will be conveyed southerly through a private underground storm drain system, running west of the proposed Ballroom (per CUP 258(c)) to a storm water pollution control unit to be located, southwest of the new Ballroom facility. Discharge from the storm water pollution control unit will be conveyed to a storm water diversion structure which will May 1, 2003 3 Revised: November 3, 2003 RCrh\l4107\Study\ Water Quality Impact Master Plan (002) serve to discharge storm runoff into the 36-inch RCP public storm drain system (crossing under El Camino Real), located northeast of the intersection of El Carnino Real and Costa Del Mar Road' and the existing storm drain system located at the westerly end of Costa Del Mar Road. May I, 2003 4 Revised: November 3, 2003 RC:rh\14 107\Study\ Water Quality Impact Master Plan (002) POLLUTANTS AND CONDITIONS OF CONCERN Per the San Diego Region Municipal Permit and the City of Carlsbad Storm Water Standards, the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project falls under the following priority project category: "Commercial Development greater than, or equal to 100,000 Ft2, and 'Parking lots greater'than or equal to 5,000 square feet or with at least 15 parking spaces, and potentially exposed to urban runoff." According to the City of Carlsbad Storm Water Standards Table 1 - "Standard Development Project and Priority Project Storm Water BIvIP Requirements Matrix" (Appendix B), this project is required to provide site design BMPs, source control BMPs, BMPs applicable to individual priority project categories, and treatment control BMPs. According to Table 2 - Anticipated and Potential Pollutants Generated by Land Use Type (Appendix B), anticipated pollutants for the specified project categories include: heavy metals, trash & debris, and oil & grease. The potential pollutants include sediments, nutrients, organic compounds, oxygen demanding substances, bacteria and viruses, and pesticides. According to the "San Diego Region Water Quality Control Board (SDRWCB) Plan for the San Diego Basin (9)", dated September 8, 1994, the.La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project is within the Batiquitos Hydrologic Sub-Area of the San Marcos Hydrologic Area of the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit. The corresponding basin number designation is 904.51. The San Marcos Hydrologic Area is listed.under section 303(d); list of impaired waters., of the Clean Water Act, as an impaired water body. The San Marcos Creek is 303(d) listed for colifoim bacteria. Conditions of concern for the project are related to any relevant hydrologic and environmental factors including the property's percent of impervious erosion area and infrastructure drainage features that are to be protected specific to the project area's watershed. May 1, 2003 5 Revised: November 3, 2003 RC:rh\l4l07\StudWater Quality Impact Master Plan (002) IL IL IHI PERMANENT STORM WATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The Municipal Permit and the City Storm Water Standards require the implementation of applicable site design, source control, project specific, and treatment control BMPs. To meet these requirements, the project will incorporate a series of non-structural and structural BMPs to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). A detailed description of each type of BMP is discussed below: Site Design BMPs The following site design BMPs have been applied: Minimize the impervious footprint by increasing building density while decreasing building footprint. Minimize directly connected impervious areas to the maximum extent practicable. Avoid draining water over tops of slopes in order to minimize erosion. Source Control BMPs Source control BMPs are generally non-structural and are intended to reduce the quantity of pollutants entering the storm drain system.' The following source control BMPs are proposed to be utilized for the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project: Trash storage areas to be paved with an impervious surface, designed to' prevent offsite transport of trash. Pest resistant plants will be planted to reduce the need for pesticides. An efficient irrigation system will be installed within the landscaped areas that addresses the specific 'water-requirements for-those landscaped areas. Concrete stamping or stenciling of inlets and catch basins. Distribution integrated pest management education materials to future site tenants. - May l,2003 6 , Revised: November 3, 2003 RC:rh\ 14I07\Study Water Quality Impact Master Plan (002) BMPs Applicable to Individual Priority Project Categories The City's Storm Water Standards Manual, Table I (Appendix B), requires specific BMPs be applied, where applicable, if theproj ect includes dock areas, maintenance bays, vehicular wash areas, outdoor processing areas and/or surface parking areas. The La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project includes surface parking areas. The following requirement will be incorporated into the project: Where landscaping is proposed in surface parking areas, the landscaped areas will be incorporated into the drainage design. Treatment Control BMPs Treatment control BMPs are required to infiltrate, filter, and/or treat runoff from the project footprint to one of the "numeric sizing treatment standards" listed in the City's Storm Water Standards Manual, Table 3 (Appendix B). To fulfill this requirement, this project intends to treat the site runoff by means of Bio-Clean filter inserts placed in the three private inlets.proposed for the project and the three existing inlets located at the westerly end of Costa Del Mar Road. These inserts are designed to reduce and contain petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, sediment, debris and trash from the runoff. In addition to the inserts, an in-line storm water treatment unit will be installed. A CDS Technologies storm water treatment unit will be used on this project. Storm Water Treatment Units are mechanical separators that physically reduce sediment, trash, debris, and oil and grease, from the flow and pesticides that attach to sediment. Refer to Appendix C for the flow and pesticides that attach to sediment. Refer to Appendix C for the flow based numeric sizing calculations and details of the specified Bio-Clean inserts and CDS Technologies Storm Water Treatment Unit. The Bio-Clean inserts are considered drainage inserts. Per the City's Storm Water Standards Manual, Table 5 (Appendix B), drainage inserts rank low to medium in removal efficiency for the project's pollutants of concern. The storm water treatment unit is considered a hydrodynamic separator system. Per Table 4 (Appendix B), hydrodynamic separator systems rank low to medium in removal efficiency for the project's pollutants of concern. May I, 2003 7 Revised: November 3, 2003 RC:rh\14l07Study\ Water Quality Impact Master Plan (002) OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN KSL La Costa Resort Corporation, a Delaware corporation, will construct the improvements proposed for thô La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment and shall be required to maintain all BMPs on the site. The site shall be kept in a neat and orderly fashion with a regularly scheduled landscape maintenance crew in charge of keeping gutters. and inlets free of litter and debris. The landscape crew will also maintain the landscaping to prevent soil erosion and minimize sediment transport. Inlet stamps shall be inspected and reapplied as needed. The project consists of three proposed and three existing type 'B' curb inlets, which will include bio-clean filter inserts. Bio-Clean Environmental Services recommends replacement of the hydrocarbon absorption boom four times. per year. Currently the approximate cost to replace each boom is $80.00. This amounts to a maintenance cost of approximately $320.00 per year, per inlet. The proposed project will utilize one CDS Technologies Storm Water Treatment Unit. Currently, the approximate maintenance cost for one CDS Technologies Unit is $4,500.00 per year which includes $300.00' per hour for labor with a 4-hour minimum and a $300.00 waste disposal fee per maintenance service for the unit. The maintenance cost assumes that the CDS Technologies Units are serviced three times a year. These are preliminary costs. KSL La Costa Resort Corporation shall retain maintenance records of at least 5-years, which shall be made available to the City of San Diego for inspection upon request. - May 1, 2003 8 Revised: November 3, 2003 RC:rh\t 4 t07\S tudy\ Water Quality Impact Master Plan (002) SUMMARY The La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project will conform to applicable NTPDES requirements. The City of Carlsbad SUSMP/Storm Water Standards Manual establishes that a rainfall intensity of 0.2 in./hr. must be treated. Based on this criterion, the completed project will require approximately 4 cfs of runoff to be treated, infiltrated or filtered. The project intends to treat this runoff with installation of a Bio-Clean filter insert within each type 'B' curb inlet, and the construction of an in-line CDS Technologies Storm Water Treatment Unit. The filter insert is designed to reduce and contain, at a level considered low to medium in removal efficiency (Carlsbad Storm Water Standards Manual, Table 4), petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, sediment, debris, and trash from the runoff. The storm water treatment units are designed to physically reduce sediment, trash, debris, and oil and grease from the flow and pesticides that attach to sediment. The filter insert and storm water treatment units are sized using flow-based numeric sizing criteria to meet the requirements of the Storm Water Standards ('which covers- both the- Municipal Storm Water Permit and -the City SVSMF' uitem- n.t). The completed project will also incorporate various concepts of non-structural and structural BMPs that include property owner education, stenciled inlets, and landscaping.

Structural Treatment BMP Selection Procedure Priority projects shall select a single or combination of treatment BMPs from the categories in Table 4 that maximize pollutant removal for the particular pollutant(s) of concern. Any pollutants the project is expected to generate that are also causing a Clean Water Act section 303(d) impairment of the downstream receiving waters of the project should be given top priority in selecting treatment BMPs. To select a structural treatment BMP using the StrUctural Treatment Control BMP Selection Matrix (Table 4), each priority project shall • compare the list of pollutants for which the downstream receiving waters are impaired (if any). According to the 18 303(d) listing, the Agua Hedionda Lagoon is impaired. for sediment and siltation. Buena 71 Vista Lagoon also has impaired beneficial uses (aquatic life) due to high sedimentation/siltation.

Y. Restrictions on the Use of Infiltration Treatment BMPs 31. Treatment control BMPs that are designed to primarily function as infiltration devices shall meet the following conditions (these conditions do not apply to treatment BMPs which allow incidental infiltration and are not designed to primarily function as infiltration devices, such as grassy swales, detention basins, vegetated buffer strips, constructed wetlands, etc.): (1) .urban runoff from. commercial developments shall undergo pretreatment to remove both physical and chemical contaminants, such as sedimentation or filtration, prior to infiltration; (2) all dry, weather flows shall be diverted from infiltration devices except for those non-storm water discharges authorized pursuant to 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(iv)(8)(1): diverted stream flows, rising ground waters, uncontaminated ground water infiltration [as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20)] to storm water conveyance systems, uncontaminated pumped ground water, foundation drains, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains, air conditioning condensation, flow from riparian habitats and wetlands, waterline flushing, landscape irrigation, discharges from potable water sources other than water main breaks, irrigation water, individual residential car washing, and dechlorinated swimming pool discharges; (3) pollution prevention and source control BMPs shall ,be implemented at a level' appropriate to protect groundwater quality at sites where infiltration structural treatment BMPs are 'to be used; (4) the vertical distance from the base of any infiltration 'structural treatment BMP to the seasonal high groundwater mark shall be at least 10 feet. Where groundwater does not support beneficial uses, this vertical distance criterion may be reduced, provided groundwater quality is maintained; (5) the soil through which infiltration is to occur shall have physical and 21 APPENDIX C CALCULATIONS FOR ONSITE WATER QUALITY TREATMENT FLOW REQUIREMENTS AND TREATMENT PRODUCT INFORMATION I I s FLOW BASED NUMERIC SIZING CALCULATIONS The structural treatment BMIPs for the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Amendment project I will be sized using flow based criteria per the City's Storm Water Standards Manual, Table 3. This criteria states that the "flow based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate (infiltrate, filter or treat) the maximum flow rate of runoff produced from a rainfall intensity of 0.2 inch of rainfall I r per hour." Structural BMP sizing calculations are as follows: Bio-Clean Filters S I ' Per the manufacturers specifications (see calculations, this Appendix), one Bio-Clean filter is capable of treating a runoff flow of 0.35 cfs based on the above described area. Therefore the I maximum surface area that can be effectively treated by one Bio-Clean Filter is 5 acres, per the following calculations: I Q=CIA, therefore A=Q/CW; Q=0.85 cfs, 1=0.2 in/hr, and assuming a con:imèrcial runoff coefficient, C, of 0.85 A0.85/085 (0.2)=5.0 acres. Per the attached site BMP/Basin Area Exhibit (see Map Pocket) the two existing inlets located at node 620 (per the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Drainage Study, dated November 3, 2003) collect runoff from the largest contributing area of 8.3 acres (this area is conservative in that it includes some landscaped area which will be picked up by the private underground storm drain system). Per the calculation above, the Bio-Clean inserts to be installed in these two existing inlets will be able to treat a combined maximum area of 10 acres and will therefore have sufficient capacity to treat the runoff from this area. The contributing area to each of the remaining four Type B inlets ('located at nodes 510, 540, 541 and 621 per the attached Site BMP/Basin Area Exhibit) is less than 5 acres. Therefore the Bio-Clean inserts to be installed in these inlets will' also have sufficient capacity to 'treat the surface runoff within each area. CDS Technolo ales Storm Water Treatment Unit Per the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan Drainage Study dated November 3, 2003, the total basin area contributing runoff, to be rated to the proposed CDS Unit (node 544) is approximately twenty-three acres. The storm runoff required to be treated by this unit, per. the City's Storm Water Standards Manual, is calculated as follows: Q=CIA, where C=0.85, 1=0.2 in/hr, A=23 acres Q=(0.85) (0.2) (23) = 3.9 1, or approximately 4 c'fs The CDS Unit, Model No. PMSU40 30 is designed for a maximum flow of 4.5 cfs and is proposed to be used for this project.

These experi m e n t s c o v e r ' a wide range of conditiotis a to head, breadth, and h e i g h t o f w e i r . Considerable, discrepancy exists in the results o f t h e d i f f e r e n t experimenters, especially, for pads below 0.5 ft. F o r h e a d s from 0.5 to about 1.5 ft the coefficient becomes more u n i f o r m , and fGr'heads from 1.5 Itt0 that at which the nappe b e c o m e s , detached from the crest, the coefficient asgven by -the different experiments is nearly constant and equals approximately 2.63. 5-22 HAND3.300K OF crest is likely to become dulled or ruted, or it ma y b e d a m a g e d by floating ice and debris.

Weirs of various dimensions and s h a p e s a r e u s e d in hydri.ilic structures. When designing such st r u c t u r e s ..,it is important to be able to estimate approximatel y t h e d i s c h a r g e s over these weirs (p.. 2-15). The amount of water which will pass over a weir, n o t s h a r p - crested, depends to a large extent upon its sectio n a l f r m a n d the shape of its crest, and it, is necessary to resort t o e x p e r i m e n t to determine the discharge'over any particular s h a p e . I n a s - much as the number of shapes of weirs is unlimite d , i t i s n o t to be expected that experimental data are or eve r w i l l b e available for them all. There are available, ho w e v e r , t h e results of several series of experiments on weirs o f d i f f e r e n t cross sections which furnish much valuable i n f o r m a t i o n f o r determining discharges over weirs of the same or simi l a r s h a p e s . The available experiments are not extensive enou g h f o r . a comprehensive study of the effect of velocity of a p p r o a c h o n weirs not sharp-crested. The coefficients given in th i s c h a p t e r probably apply more accurately where the velocity o f a p p r o a c h is not high. From a consideration of sharp-creste d w e i r s i t appears that discharges, for high velocities of appr o a c h , w i l l be somewhat greater than is given by formula. (5- 1 0 ) . Since experimental conditions will seldom be d u p l i c a t e d i n practice, it is probable that errors may result from t h e g e n e r a l use of the coefficients given in this chapter. Extreme accuracy, however, is not, always necessary in design, wh e r e u n c e r t a i n t y as to the exact quantity of 'water to be provider fo r m a y e x i s t . The problem of establishing a fixed relation b e t w e e n b e a d and discharge, for weirs not sharp-crested, is co m p l i c a t e d by the fact that the nappe may assume a variet y o f f o r m s i n passing over the weir. Ti'or each modification of nappe form, there is a corresponding change in the relation bet w e e n h e a d and discharge. The effect of this condition.is more noticeable for low heads.- The nappe may undergo -several of these: modifications in succession as the head is varied. The successi v e f o r m s t h a t appear with an increasing stage may diffe* fr o m t h o s e p e r - taining to similar stages with a. decreasing hed.
