Jurisdictional Delineation Report L ~""II
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project r ,,/ ~
This report summarizes preliminary findings of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE)
and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdiction for the Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor
Reach 1 Access Road Project (proposed Project). HOR biologists examined the project site and a
surrounding buffer area to determine the limits of: (1) USAGE jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (CWA); and (2) CDFW jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1600 of the California Fish
and Game Code.
2 Project Description
2.1 Project Location
The proposed Project is located in the City of Carlsbad in San Diego County, California (Figure 1 ). As
shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3, the proposed project is generally located south of State Route 78
(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). A majority of
the project site is located within the Buena Vista Creek Ecological Reserve, which is a 148-acre
property owned by CDFW.
2.2 Project Background
This jurisdictional delineation report address the proposed Project, as contemplated in the certified
Supplemental Program Environmental Impact Report (SPEIR) for the 2017 Comprehensive Sewer
Master Plan (CSMP; State Clearinghouse No. 2007091072). The 2017 CSMP identifies a set of
recommended projects for inclusion in the City of Vista's (City) 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.
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 replacemenUrehabilitation of the City's existing pumping
stations and the repair, upgrade, and rehabilitation of existing access roads .
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 (VC 1) and traverses the cities of
Oceanside and Carlsbad.
The City's goal for implementing the proposed project is to provide all weather access to the manholes
for VC1, including during the 100-year storm event. 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 rainfal l events is required for the City to clean and maintain the pipeline
consistent with the SSMP and minimize the potential for sanitary sewer overflows.

2.3 Project Description
The proposed project involves the rehabilitation and improvement of the existing VC1 access road to
provide more reliable access to the VC1 pipeline and manholes for maintenance, including during up
to the 100-year rainfall event. The proposed alignment of the access road is approximately 4,000 feet
in length and is shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3. As shown, the proposed project would maintain the
existing Vista-Carlsbad 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
existing sewer access easement, which was acquired in conjunction with a previous spill event. As
shown in Figure 3, the proposed alignment roughly corresponds with the alignment contemplated in
the SPEIR.
The proposed access road would be constructed with an aggregate or crushed rock to provide a
permeable roadway surface, approximately 12 feet in width, with a maximum longitudinal slope of
eight percent. The roadway thickness 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 vertical alignment for
the proposed roadway adhere to the following standards:
• a maximum longitudinal slope of 15-percent,
• a minimum vertical curve length of 100 feet,
• a maximum horizontal curve radius of 30 feet, and
• a maximum access road cross fall of 4-percent.
A minimum 10-foot radius of crushed rock base would be provided around each manhole (or MH).
This 10-foot radius is measured from the center of manhole cover to the edge of the crushed rock
base. Where the manhole is located within the proposed road , the proposed concrete collar and cover
would be flush with the crushed rock base surface to allow maintenance vehicles to drive over the
manhole cover. 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 is proposed per City
Standard Drawing SWR-30A at MH27.
The proposed project would include improvements at five drainage crossings to minimize degradation
of the access road surface. 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 100-year event. Drainage ditches along the roadway may also
be required to safely convey flows downstream to Buena Vista Creek.

3 Purpose and Need
The City's goal for implementing the proposed project is to provide all weather access to the manholes for
VC1 , including during the 100-year storm event. 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 the
SSMP and minimize the potential for sanitary sewer overflows.
4 Regulatory Setting
4.1 United States Army Corps of Engineers
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), USAGE regulates the discharge (temporary or
permanent) of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States (WOUS) including wetlands. A
discharge of fill material includes, but is not limited to, grading, placing riprap for erosion control, pouring
concrete, and stockpiling excavated material into WOUS. Activities that generally do not involve a
regulated discharge (if performed specifically in a manner to avoid discharges) include driving pilings,
performing certain drainage channel maintenance activities, constructing temporary mining and
farm/forest roads, and excavating without stockpiling.
A Final Clean Water Rule: Definition of "Waters of the United States" was published in the Federal Register
on June 29, 2015. The rule became effective on August 28, 2015. Subsequently, numerous lawsuits were
filed challenging the regulation and in response to Executive Order, signed on February 28 , 2017, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USAGE issued a final rule adding a February 6, 2020,
applicability date to the 2015 Rule (Federal Register February 8, 2018). Since that time, the U.S. District
Court for the District of South Carolina issued an opinion that enjoins the delay rule . Pursuant to the court's
order, the 2015 Clean Water Rule is now in effect in 22 states including California, the District of Columbia
and the U.S. territories.
The Final Clean Water Rule defines the term "WOUS" in USAGE regulations at 33 Code of Federal
Regulations§ 328.3(a) as follows :
(a) For purposes of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq . and its implementing regulations,
subject to the exclusions in paragraph (b) of this section, the term "waters of the United States"
means:
(1) All waters which are currently used, were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use
in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and
flow of the tide;
(2) All interstate waters, including interstate wetlands;
(3) The territorial seas;
(4) All impoundments of waters otherwise identified as waters of the United States under this
section;

(5) All tributaries, as defined in paragraph (c)(3) of this section , of waters identified in
paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section;
(6) All waters adjacent to a water identified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section ,
including wetlands, ponds, lakes, oxbows, impoundments, and similar waters;
(7) All waters in paragraphs (a)(7)(i) through (v) of this section where they are determined, on
a case-specific basis , to have a significant nexus to a water identified in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (3) of this section . The waters identified in each of paragraphs (a)(7)(i) through (v)
of this section are similarly situated and shall be combined, for purposes of a significant
nexus analysis, in the watershed that drains to the nearest water identified in paragraphs
(a)(1) through (3) of this section. Waters identified in this paragraph shall not be combined
with waters identified in paragraph (a)(6) of this section when performing a significant
nexus analysis. If waters identified in this paragraph are also an adjacent water under
paragraph (a)(6), they are an adjacent water and no case-specific significant nexus
analysis is required .
(i) Prairie potholes. Prairie potholes are a complex of glacially formed wetlands, usually
occurring in depressions that lack permanent natural outlets, located in the upper
Midwest.
(ii) Carolina bays and Delmarva bays. Carolina bays and Delmarva bays are ponded,
depressional wetlands that occur along the Atlantic coastal plain .
(iii) Pocosins. Pocosins are evergreen shrub and tree dominated wetlands found
predominantly along the Central Atlantic coastal plain.
(iv) Western vernal pools. Western vernal pools are seasonal wetlands located in parts of
California and associated with topographic depression, soils with poor drainage, mild ,
wet winters and hot, dry summers.
(v) Texas coastal prairie wetlands. Texas coastal prairie wetlands are freshwater wetlands
that occur as a mosaic of depressions, ridges, intermound flats , and mima mound
wetlands located along the Texas Gulf Coast.
(8) All waters located within the 100-year floodplain of a water identified in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (3) of this section and all waters located within 4,000 feet of the high tide line or
ordinary high water mark of a water identified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this
section where they are determined on a case-specific basis to have a significant nexus to
a water identified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section. For waters determined
to have a significant nexus, the entire water is a water of the United States if a portion is
located within the 100-year floodplain of a water identified in paragraphs (a)( 1) through (3)
of this section or within 4,000 feet of the high tide line or ordinary high water mark. Waters
identified in this paragraph shall not be combined with waters identified in paragraph (a)(6)
of this section when performing a significant nexus analysis. If waters identified in this
paragraph are also an adjacent water under paragraph (a)(6), they are an adjacent water
and no case-specific significant nexus analysis is required.

Jurisdictional Delineation Report
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project
The limit of USACE jurisdiction, excluding wetlands and tidal waters, is delineated using the ordinary high-
water mark (OHWM) and defined in Code of Federal Regulations Section 328.3(e) as:
4.1.1
... that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical
characteristics such as [a] clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the
character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation , the presence of litter and debris, or other
appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas.
Wetlands
Normally, three criteria must be satisfied to classify an area as a federal jurisdictional wetland:
(1) a predominance of plant life that is adapted to life in wet conditions (hydrophytic vegetation); (2) soils
that saturate, flood , or pond long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in
the upper part (hydric soils); and (3) permanent or periodic inundation or soils saturation, at least
seasonally (wetland hydrology) (Environmental Laboratory 1987). For the purpose of determining if a
predominance of hydrophytes are present, species are classified as follows: obligate species almost
always occur in wetlands; facultative wetland species usually occur in wetlands, but may occur in non-
wetlands; facultative species occur in both wetlands and non-wetlands; and facultative upland species
usually occur in non-wetlands, but may occur in wetlands and upland species usually occur in non-
wetlands, as indicated in the 2016 USACE National Wetland Plant List -Arid West Region .
4.2 Regional Water Quality Control Board
In California, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and nine Regional Water Control Boards
(RWQCB) regulate activities within state and federal waters under Section 401 of the CWA and the Porter-
Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The SWRCB is responsible for setting statewide policy, coordinating
and supporting RWQCB efforts, and reviewing petitions that contest RWQCB actions. Each RWQCB is
semi-autonomous and has the authority to set water quality standards, issue Section 401 certifications
and waste discharge requirements, and take enforcement action for projects occurring within its boundary.
However, when a project crosses multiple RWQCB jurisdictional boundaries, the SWRCB becomes the
regulating agency and issues project permits.
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
A federal permit or license cannot be issued that may result in a discharge to WOUS unless certification
under Section 401 of the CWA is granted or waived by the EPA, state, or tribe where the discharge would
originate (EPA 2010). Within the proposed study area, the ability to grant, grant with conditions, deny, or
waive certification falls to the San Diego RWQCB.
Pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, Before USACE will issue a Section 404 permit, applicants must
apply for and receive a Section 401 water quality certification or waiver, as applicable. Under Section
401 of the CWA, all activities regulated at the federal level by USACE are also regulated at the state
level. Therefore, state jurisdiction usually includes all waters or tributaries to waters that are
determined to be WOUS and, similar to WOUS, are typically delineated at the OHWM.
Porter Cologne Act
RWQCB also regulates discharge of waste to Waters of the State pursuant to California's Porter-Cologne
Act, enacted in 1969, which provides the legal basis for water quality regulation within California. Under
12 I June 2019
Jurisdictional Delineation Report 1-)~
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project ~
this Act. The Water Code defines "waters of the state" broadly to include "any surface water or
groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state.
RWQCB adopted a statewide definition of rules to protect wetlands and other environmentally sensitive
waterways throughout the state on April 2, 2019. These rules define what RWQCB considers a wetland
and include a framework for determining if a feature that meets the RWQCB wetland definition is a "water
of the state" subject to regulation. Second, the rules clarify requirements for permit applications to
discharge dredged or fill material to any water of the state.
The RWQCB defines an area as wetland as follows:
An area is wetland if, under normal circumstances, (1) the area has continuous or recurrent saturation of
the upper substrate caused by groundwater, or shallow surface water, or both ; (2) the duration of such
saturation is sufficient to cause anaerobic conditions in the upper substrate; and (3) the area's vegetation
is dominated by hydrophytes or the area lacks vegetation.
RWQCB considers the following wetlands , as determined using methodology in the USAGE 1987 Wetland
Delineation Manual, are waters of the state:
1. Natural wetlands,
2. Wetlands created by modification of a surface water of the state, and
3. Artificial wetlands that meet any of the following criteria:
a. Approved by an agency as compensatory mitigation for impacts to other waters of the state,
except where the approving agency explicitly identifies the mitigation as being of limited
duration;
b. Specifically identified in a water quality control plan as a wetland or other water of the state;
c. Resulted from historic human activity, is not subject to ongoing operation and maintenance,
and has become a relatively permanent part of the natural landscape; or
d. Greater than or equal to one acre in size, unless the artificial wetland was constructed, and is
currently used and maintained, primarily for one or more of the following purposes (i.e., the
following artificial wetlands are not waters of the state unless they also satisfy the criteria set
forth in 2, 3a, or 3b):
i. Industrial or municipal wastewater treatment or disposal,
ii. Settling of sediment,
iii. Detention, retention, infiltration, or treatment of stormwater runoff and other pollutants or
runoff subject to regulation under a municipal, construction, or industrial stormwater
permitting program,
iv. Treatment of surface waters,
v. Agricultural crop irrigation or stock watering,
vi . Fire suppression,
vii. Industrial processing or cooling,
viii. Active surface mining -even if the site is managed for interim wetlands functions and
values,
June 2019 I 13
Jurisdictional Delineation Report
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project
ix. Log storage,
x. Treatment, storage, or distribution of recycled water,
xi . Maximizing groundwater recharge (this does not include wetlands that have incidental
groundwater recharge benefits); or
xii. Fields flooded for rice growing.
All artificial wetlands that are less than an acre in size and do not satisfy the criteria set forth in 2, 3.a, 3.b,
or 3.c are not waters of the state. If an aquatic feature meets the wetland definition, the burden is on the
applicant to demonstrate that the wetland is not a water of the state.
4.3 California Department of Fish and Wildlife
The State of California regulates water resources under Section 1600-1616 of the California Fish and
Game Code. Section 1602 states:
"An entity may not substantially divert or obstruct the natural flow of, or substantially change or
use any material from the bed, channel , or bank of, any river, stream, or lake, or deposit or
dispose of debris, waste, or other material containing crumbled, flaked , or ground pavement
where it may pass into any river, stream, or lake."
CDFW jurisdiction includes ephemeral, intermittent and perennial watercourses and extends to the top of
the bank of a stream or lake if unvegetated, or to the limit of the adjacent riparian habitat located contiguous
to the watercourse if the stream or lake is vegetated.

5 Methodology
5.1 Literature Review
Jurisdictional Delineation Report 1-~~
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project J ~
The following literature and materials were reviewed both prior to conducting delineation fieldwork and in
the process of determining jurisdictional status of features identified in the field:
• Current and historical aerial photographs of the survey area to determine the potential locations
of WOUS and other riparian areas (Google Earth 2019 ; NETR Online 2019)
• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil
mapping data (USDA NRCS 2017)
• USGS 7.5-minute San Luis Rey , California (USGS 1997) (Figure 4)
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory data to identify areas mapped as
wetland features (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2019).
5.2 Field Investigation
Field surveys of the study area were conducted by HOR biologists Allegra Engleson , Ingrid Eich, Aaron
Newton and Ronell Santos on March 14, March 21 , April 3, April 10 and May 1, 2019. Surveys consisted
of directly inspecting the entire Project site (proposed footprint) and a 50-foot buffer surrounding the study
area. Surveyors identified and mapped field indicators of potentially jurisdictional drainage features.
Weather conditions during delineation field work were conducive for surveying with generally clear skies.
Photographs of the study area are located in Appendix A. All accessible areas within the study area were
investigated on foot.
WoUS were delineated according to the methods outlined in the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory 1987), the Interim Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation
Manual: Arid West Region (USACE 2008a), and A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High
Water Mark in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (USACE 2008b). In addition, the 2016
Arid West Regional Wetland Plant List was referenced when conducting the delineation (Lichvar et al.
2016). Potential RWQCB jurisdiction was mapped to the same limits as USACE jurisdiction and CDFW
jurisdiction was mapped to the top of bank and/or the edge of riparian vegetation.
Where jurisdictional limits of wetland features exhibited distinct boundaries based on distinct topographic
or vegetation changes, limits were digitized based on those visible boundaries on an overlay of 1-foot
contours and 1 :2,400-scale 2.5-inch ground resolution 2019 aerial maps. All other boundaries, photograph
and wetland soil pit locations data were collected using an iPad with global positioning system unit with
an external receiver. Drainage data points were then connected , and the acreage was calculated by
averaging the OHWM widths between data points using ArcGIS software during post-processing. In
general, the OHWM was indicated by a break in the bank slope, scouring, or destruction of vegetation.
Other data recorded included bank height and morphology, substrate type, and all vegetation within and
adjacent to the streambed. Eighteen soil pits were dug within the study area in an area exhibiting potential
wetland conditions such as hydrophytic vegetation and/or hydrology. Soils were analyzed using the NRCS
Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the U.S., Version 8.0 and List of California Hydric Soils (USDA NRCS
2016a and 2016b) and a Munsell Soil Color Chart (Munsell 2013). Results of wetland assessments and

6 Results
6.1 Environmental Setting
The survey area is located within the Buena Vista Creek Ecological Preserve (preserve). The preserve is
surrounded by residential, commercial and transportation land use. Prior to development of the
surrounding area, the study area supported a large alluvial fan and was historically located within the
broad Buena Vista Creek floodplain. Over time, urbanization of the watershed has resulted in much of the
creek and its tributaries being channelized or placed in underground storm drain systems which has likely
contributed to the severe incision of the creek and reduction of active floodplain within the study area. The
VC-1 was constructed in the study area in 1985 and includes several raised manholes, culverts and a dirt
access road frequently used for VC-1 maintenance and by the preserve management staff.
6.1.1 Climate
The Vista/Carlsbad area has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, dry summers and cool,
moist winters. Average annual precipitation for the city of Carlsbad is 11 .8 inches and most of the annual
rainfall occurs November through March (U.S. Climate Data 2019).
6.1.2 General Vegetation
Most of the survey area is undeveloped and supports riparian and upland communities such as mixed
willow riparian, coyote brush scrub and annual brome grassland (Figure 5). Vegetation associated with
the drainage features on site is detailed in the drainage descriptions below.
6.1.3 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, shown on Figure 6,
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
Diablo Series -This series consists of well drained clays. Runoff is slow when soils are dry and medium
to rapid when soils are moist. These soils are mildly alkaline. Diablo soils are formed in residuum
weathered from shale, sandstone, and consolidated sediments from 25 to 3,000 feet above mean sea
level (AMSL) on 9 to 30 percent slopes.
This soil is not listed as a hydric soil within San Diego County (USDA 2016a). It is listed as hydric in
several northern California counties.
Las Flores Series -This series consists of moderately well-drained soils. These soils range from slightly
acidic to neutral, and runoff is medium to rapid. Las Flores soils are located on marine terraces from O to
700 feet AMSL on O to 15 percent slopes.

This soil is listed as hydric (criteria 3) in San Diego county where is occurs on 2-9 percent slopes in
depressions (USDA 2016a).
Salinas Series -This series consists of deep, well drained soils formed in alluvium weathered form
sandstone and shale. These soils range from neutral to moderately alkaline, and runoff is slow to medium.
Las Flores soils are located on alluvial plains, fans, and terraces from 50 to 2,000 feet AMSL on O to 9
percent slopes.
This soil is not listed as a hydric soil within San Diego County. It is listed as hydric in several northern
California counties (USDA 2016a).
6.1.4 Hydrology
The 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, as visible on Figure 7, 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.
6 .2 Waters of the United States
In total, the survey area includes 0.420 acres of WOUS, of which 0.230 acres consist of wetland. Maps
depicting the location of WOUS are included as Figure 8, and photographs of each are included as
Appendix A. Table 3 summarizes the total jurisdiction associated with each feature identified onsite.

6.2.2 Drainage Descriptions
Tributary A
Tributary A originates from a culvert that outlets at the toe of the SR-78 berm north of the study area
(Figure 8). The channel supports 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 to join 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 psilostachya; FACU) and Carolina
geranium (Geranium caro/inianum; 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) (Appendix
A, Photograph 1 ). Water was observed within the channel during the survey (March through May).
No soil test pits were conducted at this location.
Tributary 8-1
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 by 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 (Polypogon
monspeliensis; FACW) and toad rush (Juncus bufonius; FACW) (Appendix A, Photograph 2).
The feature drains across the VC-1 access road in three locations (Figure 8). The easternmost crossing
carries sheet flow south along a sewer manhole access road, where it joins surface flows from Tributary
B-2, and then continues onward to Buena Vista Creek (Appendix A, Photograph 3). The road is lined with
eroded gravel and is unvegetated.
June 2019 I 31
Jurisdictional Delineation Report
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project
The middle crossing transports flows under the VC-1 access road through a 36-inch metal pipe culvert
(Appendix A, Photograph 4). At the culvert outlet, the channel supports 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) (Appendix A, Photograph 5). 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.
Soil test pits SP-VC-3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15, 17 and 18 were conducted at this location. Please see Figure 8,
Table 2, and Appendix B for the location and results of the soil test pits.
Tributary B-2
Tributary B-2 is located just east of Tributary B-1 and originates from a culvert outlet under the SR-78
Figure 8; Appendix A, Photograph 6). 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 photography. The pond drains through a culvert under the VC-1
access road and also overflows across the access road (Appendix A, Photograph 7). The pond banks are
generally vegetated by upland grasses and shrubs, however, a 10X10 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 (Figure 8). The westernmost channel
exhibits bifurcated flows, with some surface lows 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, while
the remaining flows sheet flow over the road just east of the Tributary B-2 culvert and travel southwest to
join Tributary B-1 as described above. This latter channel 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 (Appendix A, Photograph 8). South of the access road,
Tributary B-2 occurs within mixed willow riparian habitat with a generally bare understory.
Soil test pits SP-VC-1 , 2 and 16 were conducted at this location. Please see Figure 8, Table 2, and
Appendix B for the location and results of the soil test pits.
Tributary C
Tributary C occurs just east of Tributary B-2 and originates from a 5 foot wide concrete culvert that outlets
under SR-78 (Figure 8; Appendix A, Photograph 9). The tributary flows south to the VC-1 access road
where it travels along the south side of the road and flows west to join Tributary B-2. The feature supports
a 5 foot wide OHWM north of the access road and a 2 foot wide OHWM where it occurs in the road
(Appendix A, Photograph 10). The Tributary is unvegetated and travels through a patch of coyote brush
scrub north of the access road.
No soil test pits were conducted at this location.

Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project r ,,,J ~
Tributary D
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 (Appendix A, Photographs 11 and 12). The central crossing diverts
flows through a culvert under the access road and outlets into a small deep pond (Appendix A, Photograph
13). 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 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.
Soil test pit SP-VC-5 was conducted at this location. Please see Figure 8, Table 2, and Appendix B for the
location and results of the soil test pit.
Depressional Wetland
A depressional wetland occurs along the south side of the VC-1 access road located between Tributaries
A and B-1 (Figure 8). 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 (Appendix A, Photograph 14). The feature met the three
parameter criteria for USACE wetland WoUS.
Soil test pit SP-VC-13 was conducted at this location. Please see Figure 8, Table 2, and Appendix B for
the location and results of the soil test pit.
Slope Seep A
This feature occurs down slope from the depressional wetland and supports a dense cover of bristly ox-
tongue (Appendix A, Photograph 15). The feature meets the three-parameter criteria for USACE wetland
WoUS.
Soil test pit SP-VC-9 was conducted at this location. Please see Figure 8, Table 2, and Appendix B for the
location and results of the soil test pit.
Slope Seep B
This feature occurs down slope from the depressional wetland and east of Slope Seep A (Figure 8). Slope
seep Bis vegetated by bristly ox-tongue (FAC), poison hemlock (Conium macu/atum; FACW) and a lesser
amount of black mustard (Brassica nigra; UPL) (Appendix A, Photograph 16). The feature meets the three-
parameter criteria for USACE wetland WoUS.
Soil test pit SP-VC-10 was conducted at this location. Please see Figure 8, Table 2, and Appendix B for
the location and results of the soil test pit.
6.3 Waters Regulated by RWQCB
For this project, Waters of the State as defined by the SWRCB's 201 9 Wetland and Riparian Area
Protection Policy are equivalent to Waters of the U.S. Supplemental soil pits were conducted within the
unvegetated road ruts and where non-wetland WOUS were unvegetated (Appendix B, Soil Pit Data Sheets
19 and 20, respectively) to confirm that no other wetlands meeting the Boards' wetland definition were
present. In total, the survey area includes 0.420 acres of WOUS/WOS regulated by RWQCB, of which
0.230 acres consist of wetland. Maps depicting the location of WOUS are included as Figure 8, and

photographs of each are included as Appendix A. Table 1 summarizes the total jurisdiction associated
with each feature identified onsite.
6.4 California Department of Fish and Wildlife Streambed
CDFW regulated streambed (vegetated and unvegetated) occurs throughout the study area (Figure 9).
With the exception of Depressional Wetland and Slope Seeps A and B, CDFW regulated streambed is
generally associated with the features described above in Section 6.1.6 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 USAGE wetland or non-wetland WoUS. Table 3 provides a summary of potential
CDFW regulated streambed within the study area.

During the delineation surveys, several large road ruts were observed to be ponded for weeks following
large rain events (Appendix A, Photographs 17-19). These unvegetated, or where vegetated, dominated
by upland species, road ruts were artificially created by access road construction. These features do
exhibit inundation for long and very long durations 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 bed or banks and therefore are not regulated by CDFW pursuant to Section 1600
of the California Fish and Game Code.

7 Conclusions
Jurisdictional Delineation Report
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor Reach 1 Access Road Project
Features potentially subject to USACE/RWQCB/CDFW jurisdiction occur within the proposed project area
(Table 1 and Table 3) and have the potential to be impacted by the proposed project. Future project design
plans should avoid direct and indirect impacts to features subject to USACE/RWQCB and CDFW to the
greatest extent feasible. Should direct impacts discharge of fill to USACE/RWQCB jurisdictional features
or substantial modification of CDFW jurisdictional features be unavoidable the project will require
authorization and mitigation for impacts as des·cribed below.
7 .1 Clean Water Act
As noted above, should the site be improved, there is potential to discharge fill to aquatic features that
may be regulated by USACE and RWQCB pursuant to Clean Water Act Sections 404 and 401 . USACE
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."1
"A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" may elect to use a preliminary JD to voluntarily
waive or set aside questions regarding CWA/Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA)2 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.1
When the Corps ... authorizes an activity based upon a preliminary JD, the Corps is making no legally
binding determination regarding whether CWA/RHA 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 USACE Section 404 CWA permit and RWQCB 401 certification will be required to
authorize the discharge of fill material.
The project may qualify fo r 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).
