PROJECT NAME: Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor (Reach 1) Access Road Project
APPLICANT NAME: City of Vista -------------------------
Please describe fully the proposed project by application type. Include any details necessary to
adequately explain the scope and/or operation of the proposed project. You may also include
any background information and supporting statements regarding the reasons for, or
appropriateness of, the application. Use an addendum sheet if necessary.

Project Description
Background
In November 2017, the City of Vista (City) certified the Supplemental Program Environmental
Impact Report (SPEIR) for the 2017 Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan (2017 CSMP) (State
Clearinghouse No. 2007091072). The 2017 CSMP identifies a set of recommended projects for
inclusion in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and operations and maintenance
(O&M) program. The SPEIR analyzed the potential environmental impacts of these
improvements, as contemplated in the CSMP and is incorporated by reference, including the
adopted mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP). See Appendix A for the SPEIR.
The O&M Program component of the 2017 CSMP provides a continuation of the City's existing
condition assessment program consistent with the City's adopted Sanitary Sewer Management
Plan (SSMP). The O&M Program also includes the replacement/rehabilitation of the City's existing
pumping stations and the repair, upgrade, and rehabilitation of existing access roads.
The City maintains multiple easements to facilitate access to the conveyance and pumping
facilities within and outside its service area. These easements range from 10 to 20 feet in width
to accommodate maintenance equipment. The SPEIR for the 2017 CSMP analyzed the potential
environmental impacts associated with the proposed repair, upgrade, and/or rehabilitation of two
existing unpaved access roads as part of the O&M Program. One of the two access roads for
future maintenance described in the SPEIR is located along the existing Vista-Carlsbad (VC)
Interceptor Reach 1 (VC1 or Project) and traverses the cities of Oceanside and Carlsbad (Figure
3-20 of the SPEIR).
The VC1 pipeline is 36-inches in diameter and conveys approximately eight million gallons per
day (MGD) on average. The VC1 pipeline is co-owned by the Cities of Vista and Carlsbad and is
the major pipeline that conveys each cities' untreated, wastewater to the Encina Wastewater
Authority for treatment and disposal.
When VC1 was constructed in 1985, an earthen access road was also constructed to provide
maintenance access to sewer manholes, some requiring culverts to convey run-off across the
roads. This earthen access road has degraded over time primarily due to erosion from stormwater
discharged south from State Route (SR) 78 and contributing drainages to the north. Due to the
placement of the existing access road, sedimentation and debris have clogged the culverts,
diverting drainages along the access road and resulting in additional erosion. Direct access by
way of an improved road is also not provided to a number of manholes within the Project area.
Project Goals and Objectives
The City's goal for implementing the proposed Project is to provide all weather access to the
manholes for VC1. The Project would improve sewer maintenance access by providing the City's
O&M staff with reliable access to the VC1 pipeline. Improved and reliable access during large
rainfall events is required for the City to clean and maintain the pipeline consistent with its adopted
SSMP. Consistent with the City's SSMP, the Project would minimize the potential for sanitary
sewer overflows (SSOs) into local surface waters, including Buena Vista Creek, in accordance
with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order No. 2006-003-DWQ Statewide
General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Sanitary Sewer Systems.
Proposed Project
As part of the proposed Project, the City is proposing to upgrade, realign, and rehabilitate the VC1
access road. This section presents a detailed description of the Project location and associated
components. Once constructed, the proposed Project would be subject to long-term maintenance
activities to maintain the roadway crown and drainage structures.
Project Location
The proposed Project is located on the northwestern edge of the City of Carlsbad in San Diego
County, California (See Figure 1 in Attachment I). As shown on Figure 2 in Attachment I, the
proposed Project is generally located south of SR 78, north of Buena Vista Creek, and between
the eastern terminus of Haymar Drive (west of College Boulevard) and the western terminus of
Haymar Drive (east of El Camino Real). The City of Oceanside is located immediately north with
its southern limits roughly corresponding to the southern edge of SR 78. As shown on Figure 2,
a majority of the Project site is located within the Buena Vista Creek Ecological Reserve, which
is a 148-acre property owned by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The
Project site is located on Assessor Parcel No. 167-040-31-00, 167-040-38-00, and 167-040-39-
00.
Description of the Proposed Project
The proposed Project involves the upgrading, realigning, and rehabilitation of the existing VC1
access road to provide more reliable access to the VC1 pipeline and manholes for maintenance,
including during up to the 50-year rainfall event1. The proposed alignment of the access road is
approximately 4,000 feet in length and is shown on Figure 3 and Figure 4 in Attachment I. The
proposed Project would maintain Vista and Carlsbad's existing roadway alignment along its
western end with slight variations. At the eastern end, the roadway alignment would be realigned
to the north and disconnected from Oceanside's sewer access easement, which was acquired in
conjunction with a previous spill event. As shown on Figure 3, the proposed alignment roughly
corresponds with the alignment contemplated in the SPEIR; albeit slight variations.
The proposed access road would be constructed with an aggregate or crushed rock to provide a
permeable roadway surface, approximately 15 feet in width. The roadway surface would be
approximately six inches thick and selected materials will be determined during the final design
of the roadway in coordination with CDFW. The City expects that a larger crushed rock will be
used for the roadway subgrade to improve the roadway's stability. As proposed, the alignment for
the proposed roadway would adhere to the following standards:
• A maximum longitudinal slope of 15-percent
• A minimum vertical curve length of 100 feet
1 Upstream drainage facilities in SR 78 are approximately sized for the 50-year rainfall event. Extreme
western portions of the access road are subject to inundation during the 100-year flood event for Buena
Vista Creek.
• A maximum horizontal curve radius of 30 feet
• A maximum access road cross fall of 4-percent
A 10-foot radius of crushed rock base would be provided around each manhole (or MH), where
feasible. This 10-foot radius is measured from the center of manhole cover to the edge of the
crushed rock base and would be reduced as necessary to avoid sensitive resources. Where the
manhole is located within the proposed road , the proposed concrete collar and cover would be
flush with the crushed rock base surface for drivability. When a manhole is adjacent to the sewer
access road or within an area at risk of flooding due to its proximity to an existing creek, a raised
concrete manhole collar.
The proposed Project would include improvements at five drainage crossings to mInimIze
degradation of the access road surface and roadway crown (Figure 3 and Figure 4). No crossing
of Buena Vista Creek is proposed. At each drainage crossing, the City is considering a
combination of low-flow (e.g. Arizona crossings) or culvert crossings to convey stormwater across
the access road and away from the roadway crown. The final selection will be based on the
quantity of flow during the SO-year event in coordination with CDFW and the City of Carlsbad.
Drainage ditches along the roadway may also be required to safely convey flows downstream to
Buena Vista Creek.
Table 1 provides the drainage flows for the upstream culverts in SR 78 based on the rational
method in accordance with the 2003 San Diego County Hydrology Manual (SDCHM) procedures
and guidelines. Figure 5 illustrates the corresponding contributing drainage areas and the
locations of the Caltrans stationing is proposed per City Standard Drawing SWR-30A at MH27.

Project construction activities would include vegetation removal or trimming, grading, limited
excavation, soil stockpiling, and roadway compaction. Project-related trip generation during
construction would be less than 30 daily construction trips.
Temporary construction easements of up to 50 feet in width may be required during construction,
which would extend beyond the limits of the access road or drainage improvements to provide
adequate space for construction and associated grading activities. In sensitive environmental
areas, this easement would be restricted to 20 to 30 feet, where feasible. Parcels with proposed
temporary construction easements are identified in Table 2.

Project construction is expected to last up to three months and would be scheduled to avoid
coinciding with the bird breeding season, which extends from February 15 through August 15.
Based on the anticipated construction disturbance area, the Project will require the preparation
and implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) per the requirements of
Constructio'n General Permit (CGP). The City will also require the contractor to prepare a waste
management plan to manage construction related debris, including hazardous materials , to
facilitate proper interim storage and offsite transport and disposal. The City would also comply
with the City of Carlsbad's Habitat Management Plan (HMP).
Permanent linear easements following the alignment of the proposed access road will also be
required to facilitate long-term maintenance of the Project. Parcels with proposed permanent
easements along with approximate easement requirements are identified in Table 3.

Access Road Project was identified in the SPEIR as a Category 4: Out of Service Area
project. The SPEIR analyzed the potential environmental impacts of these improvements,
as contemplated in the CSMP, and is incorporated by reference, including the adopted
mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP). See Appendix A for the full SPEIR
and Appendix B for the full environmental analysis and CEQA Checklist for the VC1
Project.
20. Change in existing features of any bays, tidelands, beaches, or hills, or substantial
alteration of ground contours. The potential impacts associated with the CSMP
improvements potential to result in alteration of existing drainage patterns and flood
hazards were analyzed in the SPEIR (Section 4.6, Hydrology and Water Quality, pages
4.6-10 through 4.6-11). Access road and drainage improvements would involve grading,
re-surfacing, and/or vegetation trimming or removal activities, and could result in
temporary changes to existing drainage patterns during construction. The Project
improvements intersects the limits of the Buena Vista Creek 100-year flood area. The
SPEIR determined that the CSMP, including the Project, would result in potentially
significant impacts associated with the alteration of existing drainage patterns and could
be subjected to flood hazards. Mitigation Measures HWQ-1 and HWQ-2 were proposed
to reduce impacts to a level less than significant.
The existing drainage patterns and flood hazards in the Project area have not changed
since the certification of the SPEIR. The construction and operational characteristics of
the Project have not substantially changed since the certification of the SPEIR. No
substantial new information has been presented that shows the Project would result in
more significant impacts than those originally analyzed in the SPEIR. Mitigation Measures
HWQ-1 and HWQ-2 remain applicable to the proposed Project and, therefore, the
conclusion identified in the SPEIR remains accurate and applicable to the proposed
Project.
25. Change in ocean, bay, lake, stream or ground water quality or quantity, or alteration
of existing drainage patterns. Please see above discussion.
26. Substantial change in existing noise or vibration levels in the vicinity. The potential
impacts associated with exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of
C 0
established standards were analyzed in the SPEIR (Section 4.8, Noise and Vibration,
pages 4.8-9 through 4.8-10). The SPEIR determined that construction activities
associated with the CSMP, including the Project, may result in temporary increases in
ambient noise levels above existing conditions. Mitigation Measure NV-1 (Construction
Noise Reduction Measures) was proposed to reduce these impacts to a level less than
significant.
No new sensitive receptors are located in the Project area since the certification of the
SPEIR. The construction characteristics for the Project would be the same as those
described for the CSMP and the local noise standards within the Project area have not
changed since the certification of the SPEIR. No substantial new information has been
presented that shows the Project would result in more significant impacts than those
originally analyzed in the SPEIR. Mitigation Measure NV-1 would remain effective in
minimize noise-related impacts during construction. The conclusion identified in the
SPEIR remains accurate and applicable to the proposed Project.
31. Relationship to a larger project or series of projects. As described above, the VC1
Access Road Project is included in the 2017 CSMP as one of the contemplated CIP and
O&M projects.
Describe the project site and surrounding areas as it exists before the project,
including information on topography, soil stability, plants and animals, and any
cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Describe any existing structures on the site,
and the use of the structures. Attach photographs of the site. Snapshots or Polaroid
photos will be accepted.
SOILS -Generally, the site consists of clay and loamy soils. Onsite soils were identified
using the NRCS Web Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2017).The survey area crosses three
different soil series, including the following:
• DaE2 -Diablo clay, 15 to 30 percent slopes, eroded
• LeD2 -Las flores loamy fine sand, 9 to 15 percent slopes, eroded
• SbC -Salinas clay loam, 2 to 9 percent slopes
PLANTS -Vegetation community mapping of the Buena Vista Creek Ecological Reserve
conducted by the Center for Natural Lands Management was provided to HOR on May 3,
2019. This vegetation mapping was reviewed for consistency with HDR's vegetation
mapping of the project area, which is a subset of the area mapped for the reserve. These
two datasets are generally consistent with only minor differences that do not affect the
determination of project impacts or mitigation. Vegetation communities and other land
cover types in the project area are provided on Figure 6a in Attachment I. Acreages of
vegetation communities and other land cover types in the VC1 project area are provided
in Table 1 in Attachment I.
Special-status plant species and their potential to occur in the project area were provided
as Table 4.2-1 in the SPEIR (Appendix A). Based on field reconnaissance of the project
area, one additional special-status plant species was determined to have the potential to
occur in the project area:
• Chaparral ragwort (Senecio aphanactis) -CRPR 2B.2, Annual herb, occurring in
chaparral, cismontane woodland, coastal scrub, and alkaline flats from 49 to 2,624
feet above mean sea level, blooms January through April.
o Moderate potential to occur within project study area.
The project site has at least marginally suitable habitat for the following federally and state
listed plant species: San Diego thorn-mint (flowers April through June), San Diego
ambrosia (flowers April through October), and thread-leaved brodiaea (flowers March
through June). However, based on focused special-status plant species surveys
conducted on March 14, April 22, and June 13, 2019, no federally and/or state-listed plant
species were observed in the study area.
Two plant species considered sensitive by CNPS were observed at the project site:
southwestern spiny rush (Juncus acutus ssp. /eopoldit) and Southern California black
walnut (Jug/ans ca/ifornica). These species are both included as CRPR List 41 plants,
indicating that they are plants of limited distribution and are on a watch list. The
occurrences on the project site would not be considered locally significant populations.
California native plant survey field forms for occurrences of these species will be submitted
to CDFW for inclusion in their California Natural Diversity Data Base.
See Appendix F for the full Biological Resources Technical Report.
ANIMALS -Special-status wildlife species and their potential to occur in the
Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan project area were provided as Table 4.2-2 in the
SPEIR (Appendix A). Based on the results of the updated literature review search
described in Section 2.1 and the project specific habitat assessments, the following
special-status wildlife species were determined to also have the potential to occur in the
project area (Table 3 in Attachment I) and suitable habitat for several of the special-status
species including federally or state-listed species was determined to be absent (Table 4
in Attachment I).
Pursuant to survey protocol for coastal California gnatcatcher in Natural Community
Conservation Plan areas, three protocol surveys were conducted on April 10 and 22, and
May 1, 2019. Three pairs of coastal California gnatcatcher were detected using coastal
sage scrub habitat within the survey area. These results are consistent with the results of
1 CNPS recommends that California Rare Plant Rank List 4 plants be evaluated for impact significance
during preparation of environmental documents relating to CEQA. Locally significant populations may
include those at the periphery of a species' range, areas where the taxon is particularly uncommon, areas
where the taxon has sustained heavy losses, or populations exhibiting unusual morphology or occurring
on unusual substrates.
C 0
past biennial surveys for coastal California gnatcatcher conducted in the Buena Vista
Creek Ecological Reserve by the Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM).
Protocol surveys for least Bell's vireo were initiated prior to becoming aware that CNLM
were in the process of conducting monitoring surveys for the reserve. Upon learning of the
duplicate survey effort, HOR discontinued surveys after the first protocol survey visit was
conducted on April 22, 2019. By that time, least Bell's vireo had been detected throughout
the survey area, which is consistent with the results of past CNLM surveys that indicate
the entire willow riparian area along Buena Vista Creek is occupied by least Bell's vireo
during the breeding season.
The project site includes suitable willow riparian habitat for southwestern willow flycatcher.
Focused surveys for this species will begin on May 28, 2019, and will conclude by July
17, 2019. Should southwestern willow flycatcher be detected, the project-specific
mitigation measures pertaining to least Bell's vireo would serve to mitigate for any
potentially significant impacts on southwestern willow flycatcher.
Based on the habitat assessment conducted on March 14, 2019, the project site also
includes suitable habitat for the federally endangered San Diego fairy shrimp. Suitable
fairy shrimp habitat includes isolated depressions subject to ponding within and
immediately adjacent to the existing dirt access road (Road Ruts A, B, and C, and
Depressional Wetland).
Non-listed special-status wildlife species that were observed during field surveys include
western spadefoot toad (Spea hammondit) and yellow breasted chat (lcteria virens), both
California Species of Special Concern. Other special-status species with potential to occur
include: arroyo chub (Gila orcuttit), California glossy snake (Arizona elegans occidentalis),
orange-throated whiptail (Aspidosce/is hyperythra), southern California legless lizard,
coastal whiptail (Aspidosce/is tigris stejnegen), red-diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber),
coast patch-nosed snake (Salvadora hexalepis virgultea), coast horned lizard
(Phrynosoma blainvillit), western pond turtle (Emys marmorata), two-striped garter snake
(Thamnophis hammondit), south coast gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis ssp.), northern
harrier (Circus hudsonius), white-tailed kite (Elanus /eucurus), long-eared owl (Asio otus),
western red bat (Lasiurus b/ossevillit), yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), pallid bat
(Antrozous pallidus), Dulzura pocket mouse (Perognathus californicus femoralis),
northwestern San Diego pocket mouse (Chaetodipus fa/lax), Townsend's big-eared bat
(Corynorhinus townsendit), western yellow bat (Lasiurus xanthinus), San Diego black-
tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus bennettit), San Diego desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida
intermedia), and pocketed free-tailed bat (Nyctinomops femorosaccus).
As noted in the SPEIR, migratory birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA). Suitable habitat that would support breeding, roosting, and foraging migratory
birds occurs throughout the project site.

CULTURAL RESOURCES -As part of the study, HOR conducted a background and
archival records search of the project area that included a search of the cultural resources
databases housed with the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), the Sacred Lands
File (SLF) kept with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and any available
historic documentation and aerial imagery for the area. On February 21, 2019 a request
was submitted to the SCIC for a record search of all archaeological and historical
resources within ½ mile of the APE. The record search identified 53 cultural resource
projects and 22 cultural resources. On April 3, 2019 a letter was sent to the NAHC
requesting a review of the SLF for any registered cultural resources, traditional cultural
properties, or areas of heritage sensitivity within the vicinity of the project area. The results
of the SLF were negative.
The record search identified 53 cultural resource survey, excavation, and monitoring
projects within a half mile of the APE. The entirety of the project area has been previously
surveyed between 1977 and 2017. Table 7 in Attachment I presents the list of previous
cultural resources studies within ½ mile of the project area.
See Appendix E for the full Cultural Resources Study.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES -The record search identified 22 previously recorded
archaeological resources within a half mile radius of the APE. The previously recorded
resources include 15 prehistoric habitation sites, one possible prehistoric village site, one
isolated bedrock milling station, one prehistoric lithic isolate, two multicomponent historic
and prehistoric habitation sites, one historic habitation site, and one multicomponent site
with a historic adobe structure and prehistoric habitation. Of the 22 resources, four are
within the APE (Figure 9 in Attachment I). These include P-37-005652, P-37-009472, P-
37-009473, and P-37-009474.
P-37-005652 (CA-SDl-5652) was originally recorded by James Edwards in 1977. The site
includes the restored Marron/Hayes adobe residence and pump house, a historic artifact
scatter, a prehistoric artifact scatter, and prehistoric shell midden. The artifact assemblage
included historic stone, leather, and a brass button, and prehistoric lithics, including
choppers, scrapers, hammerstones, a mane fragment, and two projectile points. In 1998,
Gallegos & Associates updated the site and performed subsurface testing of the
prehistoric loci.
P-37-009472 (CA-SDl-9472) and P-37-009473 (CA-SDl-9473) were originally recorded
by Dennis Quillen in 1982 and described as Chione sp., Pecten sp., and Mytilus sp. shell
remains and basalt flakes present in rodent den mounds. Possible fire-cracked rock was
also observed at CA-SDl-9473. The sites were recorded on two separate small ridges on
the south side of Hwy 78 and north of Buena Vista Creek. Construction of Hwy 78 may
have impacted the sites.
C 0
P-37-009474 (CA-SDl-9474) was originally recorded by Dennis Quillen in 1982 and
described as a historic habitation with two privy features and scattered historic debris
consisting of historic bottle glass, ceramic sherds, brick, and hand-forged iron fragments
all dating to the 1920s. The site is likely the remnants of a historic building that appears at
this location on historic quadrangle maps. Two looter pits were observed at the site.
Table 8 in Attachment I provides a list of the previously recorded archaeological resources
within ½ mile of the project area.
See Appendix E for the full Cultural Resources Study.

HMP Compliance
The VC1 Access Road Project would provide all weather access to the manholes for VC1,
including during the 50-year storm event. The Project would improve sewer maintenance access
by providing the City of Vista's O&M staff with reliable access to the VC1 pipeline. As part of the
proposed Project, the City of Vista is proposing to upgrade, realign, and rehabilitate the existing
VC1 access road. The proposed Project is located within the Core 2 Focus Planning Area of
Carlsbad's Multiple Habitat Conservation Program subarea plan (the Carlsbad Habitat
Management Plan [HMP]) and is identified as a covered project. Figure 2 in Attachment I
illustrates the proposed Project's location within the Specific Preserve Area map in the HMP.
Based on the preliminary project design, construction of the project would result in direct impacts
on vegetation communities and other land cover types, as indicated in Table 2 and on Figure 6b
in Attachment I. Impacts on riparian and other sensitive natural communities would be considered
significant. Because a discretionary permit from the City of Carlsbad is required for project
implementation, the project will need to comply with the Carlsbad HMP and impacts to vegetation
communities and habitat for special-status species identified in the Carlsbad HMP will be
mitigated per the ratios noted in Table 11 of the HMP. Compliance with the Carlsbad's HMP would
avoid conflicts with species conservation goals and a less than significant impact would result.
In addition, the project would comply with all standards and conditions as outlined in the City of
Carlsbad's Zoning Ordinance 21.210.040C through 21.210.040E.
Refer to Appendix F, Biological Resources Technical Memorandum for more details.

Wetland Impact Analysis
The proposed Project survey area is within the 7,464 acre Buena Vista Creek Hydrologic Area
(State Water Resources Control Board Number 904.21) which falls within the larger Carlsbad
Hydrologic Unit. The watershed extends approximately 10.60 miles inland from the coast
originating on the western slopes of the San Marcos Mountains and discharging into the Pacific
Ocean via Buena Vista Lagoon (Hydrological Unit Code 18070303). The majority of the Buena
Vista Creek Watershed is developed.
The study area abuts the creek and the extreme western end of the study area falls within the
100-year floodplain of the creek. Additionally, the study area is traversed by five distinct drainages
that originate to the north of Highway 78. Drainage chutes from the highway also contribute to
surface hydrology within the study area.
In total, the survey area includes 0.428 acres of WOUS, of which 0.227 acres consist of wetland.
Figure 5 in Attachment I provides a summary of WOUS within the survey area. Maps depicting
the location of WOUS are included as Figures 7a to 7g in Attachment I.
In addition, for this Project, Waters of the State (WOS) as defined by the SWRCB's 2019 Wetland
and Riparian Area Protection are equivalent to WOUS.
Buena Vista Creek (creek) is a historically natural drainage now characterized by relatively
permanent surface flows, originating in the San Marcos Mountains and flowing west to the Buena
Vista Lagoon, which outlets to the Pacific Ocean, a Traditionally Navigable Water.
CDFW-regulated stream bed (vegetated and unvegetated) occurs throughout the study area. With
the exception of Depressional Wetland and Slope Seeps A and B, CDFW-regulated streambed
is generally associated with the features described below and extends beyond the OHWM to the
top of bank and encompasses the edge of riparian vegetation when present. In several locations,
CDFW jurisdiction extends to riparian areas within the floodplain for Buena Vista Creek that are
not associated with potential USACE wetland or non-wetland WOUS. Table 6 in Attachment I
provides a summary of potential CDFW-regulated streambed within the study area. Figures Ba
through 8c in Attachment I illustrates the results of the CDFW delineation.
Drainage Descriptions
Tributary A originates from a culvert that outlets at the toe of the SR-78 berm north of the study
area. The channel exhibits a 4-foot wide OHWM and 1-foot incised banks. The channel passes
beneath the VC-1 access road in a culvert and transitions to a 2-foot wide OHWM with 2-foot
incised banks as it continues south of the road and into Buena Vista Creek. Upstream of the
access road the channel banks are vegetated by arroyo willow (Salix /asio/epis; FACW) and
downstream, the banks are dominated by non-native upland grasses, perennial ragweed
(Ambrosia psi/ostachya; FACU) and Carolina geranium (Geranium carolinianum; UPL). An
approximately 2-foot wide by 10-foot long portion of the channel qualifies as USACE wetland
WOUS where it is vegetated by cattails (Typha sp.; OBL). Water was observed within the
channel during the survey (March through May).
,.. ....
Tributary B-1 is a large feature that supports both USACE wetland and non-wetland WOUS. This
feature originates from a culvert under SR-78 and a notch in the SR-78 curb that allows freeway runoff
to drain into the study area. North of the VC-1 access road, Tributary B-1 is generally vegetated with
willows (Salix spp.; FACW) and supports herbaceous wetland species surrounding the raised sewer
manhole and along the access road. Herbaceous wetland species include curly dock (Rumex crispus;
FAC), bristly ox-tongue (Helminthotheca echioides; FAC), sedge (Cyperus sp.; FACW), cocklebur
(Xanthium strumarium; FAC), hyssop-leaf loosestrife (Lythrum cf. hyssopifolia; OBL), annual rabbit's-
foot grass (Po/ypogon monspeliensis; FACW) and toad rush (Juncus bufonius; FACW).
The feature drains across the VC-1 access road in three locations. The easternmost crossing carries
sheet flows south along a sewer manhole access road, where it joins surface flows from Tributary B-
2, and then continues onward to Buena Vista Creek. The road is lined with eroded gravel and is
unvegetated.
The middle crossing transports flows under the VC-1 access road through a 36-inch metal pipe culvert.
At the culvert outlet, the channel exhibits a 10-foot wide OHWM and continues south to the creek.
The westernmost road crossing appears to support standing water that originates when the capacity
of the two eastern crossings are exceeded. The road is slightly elevated, which results in extended
ponding to the north, as indicated by cracked soils and a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation.
When flows are large enough to pass over the road, they appear to flood a low-lying triangular area to
the south of the road, which is dominated by bristly ox-tongue (FAC). The boundaries of the wetland
at the road were based on a clear change in vegetation composition from hydrophytic to upland and
by the presence/absence of hydric soil indicators elsewhere.
Tributary B-2 is located just east of Tributary B-1 and originates from a culvert outlet under the SR-
78. During March-May surveys the culvert outlet was completely submerged, which created an
approximately 3-foot deep, unvegetated, ponded area. The pond appears to be perennial based on
historic aerial photography1 and wet and dry season survey observations. The pond drains through a
culvert under the VC-1 access road and also overflows across the access road. The pond banks are
generally vegetated by upland grasses and shrubs, however, a 1 O by10-foot area of wetland
dominated by watercress (Nasturtium officinale; OBL) occurs along the overflow boundary of the pond
and the VC-1 access road.
Tributary B-2 also crosses the VC-1 access road in three locations. The westernmost channel exhibits
bifurcated flows, with some surface flows traveling east along the northern road edge, joining surface
flows from Tributary B-1 north of the road and then sheet flowing over the road to the south. The
remaining flows sheet flow over the road just east of the Tributary 8-2 culvert and travel southwest to
join Tributary B-1, as described above. Tributary B-2 supports a shallow pond just south of the road
during the rainy season and was still exhibiting surface flows throughout most of its length in May.
The other two channels, one originating at the culvert outlet and one originating with sheet flow
over the road to the east of the culvert, appear to support surface flows only after storm events,
continue in a more southerly direction, and then into the Creek. South of the access road,
Tributary B-2 occurs within mixed willow riparian habitat with a generally bare understory.
Tributary C occurs just east of Tributary B-2 and originates from a 5-foot wide concrete culvert
that outlets under SR-78. The tributary flows south to the VC-1 access road, where it travels along
1 Google Earth Pro (7.3.2.5776) Imagery from May 2002 to August 2018.
C 0
the south side of the road and flows west to join Tributary 8-2. The feature exhibits a 5-foot wide
OHWM north of the access road and a 2-foot wide OHWM where it occurs in the road. The
Tributary is unvegetated and travels through a patch of coyote brush scrub north of the access
road.
Tributary D occurs east of Tributary C and originates from a culvert under SR-78 located offsite.
The 3-foot wide channel flows through mixed willow riparian habitat north of the VC-1 access road
and continues south across the road in three locations. The central crossing diverts flows through
a culvert under the access road and outlets into a small deep pond. The outer road crossings
(west and east of the culvert) sheet flow over the road and headcut into channels south of the
road that converge with the main channel and drain to the creek. The pond was observed to be
filled with water during the March and May surveys. When full, the pond overflows into an
approximately 4-foot wide channel and continues to the creek.
A depressional wetland occurs along the south side of the VC-1 access road located between
Tributaries A and 8-1. The feature is dominated by a dense cover of bristly ox-tongue and curly
dock (both FAC) and is located at the top of a slope. The feature met the three-parameter criteria
for USAGE wetland WOUS.
Slope Seep A occurs down slope from the depressional wetland and supports a dense cover of
bristly ox-tongue. The feature meets the three-parameter criteria for USAGE wetland WOUS.
Slope Seep B occurs down slope from the depressional wetland and east of Slope Seep A. Slope
seep 8 is vegetated with bristly ox-tongue (FAC), poison hemlock (Conium macu/atum; FACW)
and a small amount of black mustard (Brassica nigra; UPL). The feature meets the three-
parameter criteria for USAGE wetland WOUS.
During the delineation surveys, several large road ruts were observed to be ponded for weeks
following large rain events. These road ruts were artificially created by access road construction
and were either unvegetated or were dominated by upland species at the time of the survey.
These features do exhibit inundation for long and very long durations (>14 days) but do not
support three-parameter wetland, are not tributary to WOUS or Waters of the State, are less than
1 acre in size and may be best described as puddles; therefore, they are not regulated pursuant
to the Clean Water Act or Porter Cologne Act. These features do not exhibit beds or banks and
therefore are not regulated by CDFW pursuant to Section 1600 of the California Fis and Game
Code. SP-VC1-NOV20 was conducted at Road Rut 8 and SP-VC1-NOV21 was conducted at
Road Rut C.
Impact Analysis
As noted above, should the site be improved, there is potential to discharge fill to aquatic features
that may be regulated by USAGE and RWQC8 pursuant to Clean Water Act Sections 404 and
401. USAGE guidance indicates that "while a landowner, permit applicant or other "affected party"
can elect to obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD), he or she can also elect to
decline an approved JD, and instead obtain a Corps individual permit or general permit
..
authorization based upon a preliminary JD, or in appropriate circumstances (such as
authorizations by non-reporting general nationwide permit authorizations) no JD whatsoever."2
"A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" may elect to use a preliminary JD to
voluntarily waive or set aside questions regarding CWNRivers and Harbors Act (RHA)3
jurisdiction over a particular site, usually in the interest of allowing the landowner or other "affected
party" to move ahead expeditiously to obtain a Corps permit authorization where the party
determines that is in his or her best interest to do so ... A landowner, permit applicant, or other
"affected party" may [also] elect to use a preliminary JD even where initial indications are that the
water bodies or wetlands on a site may not be jurisdictional, if the affected party makes an
informed, voluntary decision that is in his or her best interest not to request and obtain an
approved JD ... For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements,
and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD
will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on
the site as if they are jurisdictional WOUS.
When the Corps ... authorizes an activity based upon a preliminary JD, the Corps is making no
legally binding determination regarding whether CWNRHA jurisdiction exists over the particular
water body or wetland in question. "2
Should an approved JD indicate that the aquatic features on site qualify as WOUS or the
preliminary JD option be selected; a USAGE Section 404 CWA permit and RWQCB 401
certification will be required to authorize the discharge of fill material.
The Project may qualify for a Nationwide Permit 12 for Utility Lines and Notice of Intent to utilize
Clean Water Act Section 401 General Water Quality Certification and Order for the State Water
Board Certification of the 2017 Nationwide Permits (SB17001 GN).

www.carlsbadca .gov
In September 2015, the City of Carlsbad adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) that outlines
actions that the city will undertake to achieve its proportional share of state greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions reductions. This checklist contains measures that are required to be
implemented on a project-by-project basis to ensure that the specified emissions targets identified
in the Climate Action Plan (CAP) are achieved. Implementation of these measures will ensure
that new development is consistent with the CAP's assumption for relevant CAP strategies toward
achieving the identified greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. In this manner, a project's
incremental contribution to a cumulative GHG emissions effect may be determined not to be
cumulatively considerable if it complies with the requirements of the CAP, in accordance with
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(h)(3), 15130(d), and 15183(b).
This checklist is intended to assist project applicants in identifying CAP ordinance requirements
and demonstrate how their project fulfills those requirements. This checklist is to be completed
and included in applications for new development projects that are subject to discretionary review
or require a building permit.
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
..1111 The completed checklist must be included in the project submittal package or building permit
application. Application submittal procedures can be found on the City of Carlsbad website.
This checklist is designed to assist the applicant in identifying the minimum CAP-related
requirements specific to their project. However, it may be necessary to supplement the
completed checklist with supporting materials, calculations or certifications, to demonstrate
full compliance with CAP requirements. For example, projects that propose or require a
performance approach to comply with energy-related measures will need to attach to this
checklist separate calculations and documentation as specified by the ordinances .
..1111 If an item in the checklist is deemed to be not applicable to a project, or is less than the
minimum required by ordinance, an explanation must be provided to the satisfaction of the
Planning Division or building official.
..1111 The requirements in the checklist will be included in the project's conditions of approval or
issuance of building permit.

City of Carlsbad Climate Action Plan Consistency Checklist
STEP 1: LAND USE CONSISTENCY
The first step in determining CAP consistency for discretionary development is to assess the project's
consistency with the growth projections used in the development of the CAP. This section allows the city
to determine a project's consistency with the land use assumptions used in the CAP. Projects found not
to be consistent with the CAP's land use assumptions and that are projected to emit at or above the CAP
screening threshold of 900 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MTC02e) GHG will be subject to a project-
specific analysis of GHG emissions' impact on the environment in accordance with the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This may result in GHG-reducing mitigation measures
applied as a condition of project approval in addition to compliance with the CAP ordinance requirements
identified in Step 2 of this checklist.
I STEP 1 Land Use Consistency
Checklist Item
(Check the appropriate box and provide an explanation and supporting documentation for your answer)
A. Is the proposed project consistent with the existing General Plan land use and specific/master plan or zoning
designations?
OR,
If the proposed project is not consistent with the existing land use plan and zoning designations, does the project
include a land use plan and/or specific plan, master plan or zoning designation amendment that would result in an
equivalent or less GHG-intensive project when compared to the existing designations?
Yes No
□
If "Yes", proceed to Step 2 of the checklist. For the second option under Question A above, provide estimated project-related GHG emissions under
both existing and proposed designation(s) for comparison. GHG emissions must be estimated in accordance with the City of Carlsbad Guidance to
Demonstrating Consistency with the Climate Action Plan. Please refer to Appendix A, the 201 7 CSMP SPEIR, Chapter 4.1 Air Quality and
If "No", proceed to Question B. Appendix B, the CEQA Checklist, Table Ill. Air Quality and Table VII. Greenhouse
Gas Emissions for the GHG emission impact analysis.
B. The CAP established a screening threshold of 900 MTCO2e/year for new development projects to assist in
determining consistency with the CAP. The types and sizes of typical projects listed below have been determined to
correspond to the CAP screening threshold. Will the proposed land use change result in the construction of less
than any one of the following?
• Single-Family Housing: 50 dwelling units
• Multi-Family Housing: 70 dwelling units
• Office: 35,000 square feet
• Retail Store: 11,000 square feet
• Grocery Store: 6,300 square feet
• Other: If the proposed project is not one of the above types, provide a project-specific GHG emissions
analysis to determine whether it is below the 900 MTCOie/year screening threshold.
If "Yes", proceed to Step 2 of the checklist.
□ □
If "No", the project's GHG impact is potentially significant and must be analyzed in accordance with CEQA. Applicant must prepare a Self-developed
GHG emissions reduction program in accordance with the City of Carlsbad Guidance to Demonstrating Consistency with the Climate Action Plan to
demonstrate how it would offset the increase in emissions over the existing designations. The project must incorporate each of the applicable
measures identified in Step 2 to mitigate cumulative GHG emissions impacts unless the decision maker finds that a measure is infeasible in
accordance with California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15091. Mitigation in lieu of or in addition to the measures in Step 2 may be
required, depending on the results of the project-specific GHG impact analysis. Proceed and complete a project-specific Self-developed GHG
emissions reduction program and Step 2 of the Checklist.

j INSTRUCTIONS:
To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the city requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMPs) into the project design per Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (BMP Manual). To view the BMP Manual,
refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 5).
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 PROJECT' requirements or be subject to 'PRIORITY
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT' (PDP) requirements.
Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts. City
staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff
determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than
initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please
make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the city.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted with each development project application. Only one
completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project are
submitted concurrently.

1 Although non-native grassland and eucalyptus woodland are not considered sensitive natural communities,
impacts to these communities require mitigation per the Carlsbad HMP.
2 All types of coastal sage scrub are considered sensitive because they provide potential breeding, foraging, or
dispersal habitat for coastal California gnatcatcher.
3 Although these vegetation types are not typically considered a sensitive natural community for CEQA analysis,
they are dominated by wetland plants and will be included in the jurisdictional impact assessment.

Subject: City of Carlsbad Permits for the City of Vista's Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor (Reach
1) Long Term Access Road Improvement Project
Dear Staff,
On behalf of the City of Vista (City), please find enclosed an application package for the City of
Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan and Flood Plain Special Use Permits for the City's Vista-
Carlsbad Interceptor (Reach 1) Long Term Access Road Improvement Project (VC1 or Project)
for the City of Carlsbad's review and approval. As proposed, the Project would involve the
realignment and reconstruction of an existing sewer access road to enable for long term
maintenance of the existing VC1 trunk sewer and related manholes, which is a jointly owned by
the City and Carlsbad. The purpose of the Project is to protect public health and the
environment. The VC1 sewer trunk traverses through the Buena Vista Creek Ecological
Reserve, which is owned and managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
(CDFW).
The Project will be implemented as part of the City's Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
Program component of its Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan (CSMP) 2017 and Sanitary
Sewer Management Plan (SSMP). In November 2017, the City certified the Supplemental
Program Environmental Impact Report (SPEIR) for the 2017 CSMP (State Clearinghouse No.
2007091072). The SPEIR for the 2017 CSMP included an environmental analysis and
supporting Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the O&M Program
activities, which includes repair, upgrade, and/or rehabilitation of existing unpaved access roads
as proposed under the Project. The City subsequently filed an Addendum to the SPEIR for the
Project on October 24, 2019.
Enclosed with this letter is a table of contents (TOG) and DVD including digital copies of the
application and supporting attachments (figures, technical reports, and environmental
documentation). Please refer to the TOG for a complete list of supporting attachments.

We look forward to working with you on behalf of the City in the processing of these permits for
this important Project to protect public health and safety. In addition to the processing of these
applications, we also request the City of Carlsbad's assistance with identifying any additional
permits from the Planning Department and/or other City Departments that may be required to
advance implementation of the Project.
Please contact me with any immediate questions at 858.712.8367 or Elmer Alex with the City of
