PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
AGENDA ITEM
1.
Engineering Services Director Archibald presented several alternatives at he said would solve
95% of the drainage problems in the Leucadia area. Mr. Archibald stated the project was
considered to be a nuisance water collection system and not a storm drain s stem.
Mr. Archibald outlined the project as follows:
Drainal!e Problem A - Orpheus at Union
Construct inlet at low spot on Union street, inlet at corner of Union and Orp eus and pipe to convey
the drainage southwesterly long Orpheus to daylight. Use the existing itch to get drainage to
Vulcan. This would provide an outlet for a natural sump where flooding thr atens residences.

.
Draina e Problem B - Paul Ecke School and Hermes Vulcan Sout
Inlet at Hermes and Cereus with a 24" pipe to Vulcan (right-of-way nee ed through the brickyard),
then a 24" pipe along rail corridor to Encinitas Boulevard. Some fairly eep cuts would be needed
to provide fall to the pipe. The capacity of the pipe would be minim , but it would provide an
outlet where none existed before. Bleed down time would be hours i stead of days. The pipe
would decrease flooding at several locations along Vulcan Avenue.
Drainaee Problem C - Leucadia East of Railroad
Place an 18" pipe under Leucadia Boulevard parallel with the railroa tracks beginning at the
location where an existing 18" pipe takes drainage to the West side of the tracks, adding to the
runoff that must be handled by the park. The proposed pipe would ischarge in the existing
railroad ditch which drains the area to Batiquitos Lagoon. It may be ne essary to grade the ditch
northerly at selected locations in cooperation with North County Transit D strict.
Drainaee Problem D - Leucadia West of the Railroad
.
Beginning with an inlet at Basil Street, then along the existing alley no erly to Cadmus, then
along a sewer easement in a former alley to an existing alley northerly to L ucadia Park, continuing
in the existing alley to the North until Diana where the pipe would swing ast to the Highway 101
right-of-way, then northerly to La Costa where the pipe would intercept e existing 24" pipe for
the last stretch to the existing outfall at the parking lot for Ponto Beach. e exit of the pipe would
not be changed from the present existing discharge point.
ters would be handled
Mr. Archibald stated that capacity depended on grade and only nuisance
by this proposed system.
All inlets for the systems would be designed with best management pracf es (BMP) application
with interception through filters of low flows for oil separation and trash coIl ction.
Mr. Archibald said the cost estimated would be $1.3 million that incIud d a 30% contingency
factor. He said the project would take approximately 6 months and const Clion could possibly
begin in October or November of 1998.
