Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The NPDES permitting system was established under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA) of 1972. In 1987 the CWA was amended to require municipal storm water discharges to
effectively prohibit non -storm water discharges to their storm drain system and to implement
controls to reduce pollutants in storm water to the maximum extent practicable. On February
21, 2001, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), San Diego Region, issued an
NPDES Permit (Order No. 2001 -01, NPDES No. CAS0108758) to 20 jurisdictions (Co-
permittees) that make up the San Diego County's urbanized area. This Municipal Permit
required each Co- permittee in the region to develop a Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management
Program ( JURMP).
The goal of the City of Encinitas' JURMP is to protect and improve the quality of urban runoff
and storm water in order to improve the water quality of the local water bodies. These water
bodies primarily "include the Pacific Ocean and beaches of Encinitas, Batiquitos and San Elijo
Lagoon, Cottonwood Creek, Escondido Creek, Encinitas Creek. The goal of this program will
be accomplished through public education, implementation of BMPs (both structural and non-
structural), enforcement of the City's (new and updated) ordinances, and working with
construction sites, and industry and commercial entities to increase their awareness of urban
runoff issues and reduce pollutants leaving their sites. The City has revised its storm water
ordinance and updated its grading ordinance to more clearly address its position regarding
urban runoff and storm water pollution. A summary of all the program components is presented
below.
Municipal Component
The municipal component of the City's Storm Water Program includes proper management of
facilities owned and operated by the City of Encinitas. These facilities include the streets, the
storm drain system, municipally owned facilities (city buildings, maintenance yards, and fire
stations), parks, and open space. The primary goals of this component are municipal staff
education, BMP implementation, and facility inspections.
Municipal facilities have been inventoried, prioritized, and categorized by watershed. BMPs are
required for each priority level. These BMPs include pollution prevention, good housekeeping,
preventative maintenance, operational practices, and staff education. The City plans to adopt
an integrated pest management program for implementation by most departments. The City
also inspects and cleans their storm drains facilities annually.
Industrial Component
The industrial component of the City's Storm Water Program focuses on working with industrial
facilities to comply with the Statewide General Stormwater NPDES Permit, eliminating non -
storm water discharges, and reducing the amount of pollutants contained in storm water runoff
from their property. The required BMPs for industrial facilities include preparing and
maintaining an up -to -date SWPPP, proper material storage practices, vehicle and equipment
maintenance operations to reduce pollutants, vehicle and equipment washing restrictions,
controls for re- fueling areas, parking lot cleaning and spill response, clean -up and reporting
practices.
Executive Summary
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Commercial Component
The City's commercial component focuses on educating and assisting commercial
establishments to eliminate non -storm water discharges and reduce the amount of pollutants
contained in storm water runoff from their property. Commercial facilities within Encinitas
consist of a wide range of service oriented businesses from restaurants to nurseries. High
priority commercial facilities have been inventoried, required BMPs have been established, the
existing inspection program has been formalized, and enforcement procures outlined.
Required BMPs are both non - structural and structural. Non - structural BMPs consist of
procedures and practices that prevent pollutants from entering storm water or authorized non -
storm water discharges. Minimum structural BMPs required for high priority commercial
facilities include: overhead coverage of chemical storage (including for all restaurant grease
bins); secondary containment structures all chemical storage areas and trash receptacles that
show evidence of leaking, and for grease bins; detention facilities to confine storm water to the
site if evidence is found that illegal discharges are leaving the site; diversion facilities to divert
run -on and runoff away from pollutant sources if evidence is found that illegal discharges have
leaving the site; and treatment controls where non - structural and other structural BMPs are not
feasible or have failed to control pollutants from leaving the site.
Residential Component
The residential component of the City's program focuses on BMPs targeted at the general
population and residential areas, which are implemented on two levels; jurisdictional BMPs and
residential BMPs. Jurisdictional BMPs are structural BMPs that have been implemented within
the City. Residential BMPs are non - structural BMPs targeted at reducing pollutant generating
activities or minimizing the effects of residential activities on urban runoff water quality by
encouraging residents to adopt specified practices. These include pollution prevention; leaks
and spill prevention; materials and waste management and disposal; management/reduction of
car wash water; pet management (dogs and cats); and manure management (horses and other
large animals).
Land -Use Planning For New Development and Redevelopment
This component describes the City's approach to ensure that development and redevelopment
minimizes the negative impacts of urbanization through the implementation of its General Plan
and Land -Use policies. A review of the City's General Plan as it relates to water quality found
that Encinitas has strong water quality protection policies reflected in its General Plan and Land -
Use element, and through implementation of its Local Coastal Program. Development and
redevelopment projects are reviewed by several departments to ensure that the policies and
regulations are followed, including how the City plans to implement the new Standard Urban
Storm Water Mitigation Plans (SUSMP) requirements of the Municipal Permit. The
environmental review process has been revised to comply with the Municipal Permit. Finally,
internal and external educational efforts will be implemented to educate staff and developers
regarding general storm water issues, storm water regulations and ordinances, and their
responsibilities in implementing these regulations.
Construction Component
The goal of the construction component is to eliminate non -storm water discharges, and reduce
pollutants in storm water runoff from construction sites. Construction sites include any site
Executive Summary ii
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
where an activity such as grading, excavation, clearing, road construction, structure
construction, or demolition results in the disturbance of soil. There are three main areas that the
City requires be controlled on a construction site; 1) erosion, 2) sedimentation, and 3) non -storm
water discharges (hazardous material). The construction and grading plan approval process
has been modified to ensure that construction site BMPs are adequately addressed on project
plans.
Construction sites have been inventoried, prioritized, and categorized by watershed, and
required BMPs have been established for each priority level. Required BMPs include erosion
and sedimentation control, non -storm water discharge prohibitions, and, for high priority sites,
site specific BMPs to remove pollutants from the site discharge, and maintain or reduce the
peak flow form the construction site during a rain event. A formal inspection program has also
been developed, as well as enforcement procedures.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Component
This component establishes an illicit discharge detection and elimination program to seek and
eliminate illicit connections and illegal discharges (IC /IDs). It also addresses several issues
relating to managing the sanitary sewer system to reduce the possibility of sewage infiltration
into the MS4 and respond to sewage spills that could enter the MS4. The backbone of this
program is the establishment discharge prohibitions into the MS4 through the City's new storm
water ordinance. The program outlines procedures to identify, respond, and eliminate IC /IDs.
One of the important features of this component is the Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring
Program, which includes field screening and monitoring throughout the storm drain system
during dry weather to identify IC /IDs. A storm drain map has been prepared and over 40
monitoring sites have been identified. Many of these sites have been previously monitored
under the City's ongoing storm water management program.
Education Component
The overall goal of the education component is to provide an education program that will:
measurably increase the knowledge of target communities regarding MS4s, impacts of urban
runoff on receiving waters, and potential BMP solutions for the target audience; and measurably
change the behavior of target communities and thereby reduce pollutant releases to MS4s and
the environment over the five year cycle of the Municipal Permit. In the fall of 2001, a baseline
Public Awareness Survey was conducted to measure the knowledge base and personal habits
regarding storm water.
The City has developed an education strategy for six target audiences: residential community,
general public, and schoolchildren; municipal departments and personnel; construction site
owners and operators; industrial owners and operators; commercial owners and operators; and
quasi - governmental agencies / districts. This strategy relies on a broad spectrum of educational
techniques from printed materials, to promotional items and the City's website.
Public Participation
Public participation is activities that allow the public to interact and become involved with storm
water issues. The tools that will be used by the City to implement the public participation
activities include workshops /training sessions, public awareness surveys, the Blue Ribbon
Environmental Council, storm water hotline, speakers bureaus, community events, school
Executive Summary iii

Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
programs, and citizen monitoring groups. The public participation program will strive to include
members of the following target audiences: municipal departments and personnel, construction
site owners and developers, commercial owners and operators, residential community, general
public, and school children, and quasi governmental agencies /districts.
Assessment of JURMP
The City's assessment approach consists of evaluating the performance of the program and the
effectiveness of the program. The program performance includes the level of effort that is
expended to reduce pollutants in storm water and urban runoff. The program effectiveness is
how well the program actually reduces the pollutants in storm water and urban runoff. The
program performance will be evaluated by tracking activities, such as, the number of inspections
performed, the amount of educational materials distributed, or the number of projects subject to
the SUSMP requirements. Program effectiveness evaluates actual quantitative information,
such as changes in the average dry weather monitoring constituent levels. Program
assessment will rely on the use of Co- permittee -wide Program Assessment Forms.
Fiscal Analysis
The Storm Water Program in the City of Encinitas is broken into two areas; Engineering
Services and Public Works. Engineering Services administers, plans, monitors, implements,
enforces, inspects, and provides education related to storm water. Public Works performs
operations and maintenance of the MS4. The total budget for the Storm Water Program is
$1,274,640 for the Fiscal Year 2001 -2002. This is split $440,750 for Engineering Services and
$833,890 for Public Works activities. The Storm Water Program is currently funded through the
City's General Fund. The City is looking into alternative funding sources to maintain a constant
source of revenue for the Storm Water Program.
Fire Fighting
The City of Encinitas addresses urban runoff issues during fire fighting for emergency and non -
emergency activities. BMPs are implemented to minimize the amount of runoff from training
activities, reduce exposure of debris to possible runoff, and fit storm drains with BMPs when
runoff can not be avoided. Whenever practical during emergency activities, runoff is contained
and recovered with the City's Vac -con truck so that runoff does not discharge into the storm
drain system.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The City of Encinitas has an aggressive storm water program, which has been formalized
through development of the JURMP. The City's JURMP strives to reduce pollutants in urban
runoff and storm water in order to improve the water quality of its receiving waters. It is a living
document that will continue to evolve and be updated.

City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program -
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The NPDES permitting system was established under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA) of 1972. The goals of the CWA are to restore the biological, physical, and chemical
integrity of our nation's water and to make all of our waters fishable and swimable. In 1987, the
CWA was amended to require municipal storm water discharges to effectively prohibit non storm
water discharges to their storm drain system and to implement controls to reduce pollutants in
storm water to the maximum extent practicable. In San Diego County, the Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB), San Diego Region, issued an NPDES permit to 20 jurisdictions
(Co- permittees) that make up the urbanized areas. The City of Encinitas is a Co- permittee
included in the San Diego County Municipal Storm Water NPDES Permit. The permit was
reissued on February 21, 2001 and is designated Order No. 2001 -01, NPDES No. CAS0108758,
herein referred to as the Municipal Permit.
Under the February 21, 2001 Municipal Permit, each Co- permittee is ordered to:
1. Prohibit non -storm water discharges into its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4).
2. Prohibit discharges from it's MS4 that cause or contribute to the violation of water quality
standards.
3. Establish, maintain, and enforce adequate legal authority to control pollutant discharges into
and from its MS4.
4. Implement, or requires implementation of, best management practices using technology
based standards to ensure the reduction of pollutants into and from its MS4.
5. Implement a Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (URMP) to reduce the
discharge of pollutants from urban runoff.
6. Collaborate with other Co- permitteess within the local watershed(s) to develop, and
implement, a watershed urban runoff management program to identify and mitigate the
highest priority water quality issues /pollutants in the watershed(s).
7. Collaborate with all Co- permitteess to address common issues, promote consistency in the
required URMPs, and to plan and coordinate activities required under the Permit.
Of these requirements, the core is the Jurisdictional URMP. The goal of the Jurisdictional URMP
is to reduce discharges of pollutants and runoff flow during each of the three major phases of
urban development: planning, construction, and existing development. This document presents
the City of Encinitas' Jurisdictional URMP.
1.1 JURMP Goals
The goals of this JURMP are to protect and improve the quality of urban runoff in order to
improve the water quality of the water bodies of the City of Encinitas. These water bodies
primarily include the Pacific Ocean and beaches of Encinitas, Batiquitos and San Elijo Lagoon,
Cottonwood Creek, Escondido Creek, and Encinitas Creek. The goals of this program will be
accomplished through public education, implementing BMPs, both structural and nonstructural
within the City, and working with industry and commercial entities to increase their awareness of
urban runoff issues and reduce pollutants leaving their sites.
Introduction Page 1 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
1.2 JURMP Approach
The JURMP approach is focused on the unique features of the City of Encinitas. These
features include the fact that Encinitas is a coastal city with an economy and culture that is
reliant on clean water and clean beaches. The health of our waterways and beaches is a major
concern to the constituency of Encinitas, as many residents frequent the local beaches. There
are very few industries to speak of in the City. Much of the commercial activities are service
businesses, such as restaurants and automobile maintenance facilities. The City is growing;
however, it is approaching a built -out condition.
Although all component requirements of the Municipal Permit are addressed in the JURMP, the
focus of the JURMP addresses the specific features of the City of Encinitas. To this end the
emphasis of the program will be as follows:
• Education — educating the public on storm water issues and how to change their
behaviors to protect and improve water quality.
• Commercial Activities — working with commercial businesses to incorporate BMPs in
their operations to reduce the potential for pollutants to leave their site in urban runoff
or storm water.
• Development and Redevelopment Activities — working with developers to implement
short and long -term BMPs during construction and post- construction to reduce the
impacts of development on water quality.
1.3 Overview of Encinitas
The City of Encinitas is situated in the coastal North County area of San Diego County. The
City is within the Carlsbad watershed and has six miles of coastline. Within the City's
boundaries storm drainage is split into seven drainage basins. The City encompasses an
overall area of nearly 20 square miles and has a population of approximately 60,000. A map of
the City can be found in Figure 1 -1.
The City is nearly surrounded by sensitive water bodies. Storm water in the north drains to
Batiquitos Lagoon, which is an Area of Special Biological Concern (ASBS), and will likely be
included on the 2002 303(d) impaired water body list for sediment. To the south and east,
storm water drains to Escondido Creek (which drains to San Elijo Lagoon) or directly to San
Elijo Lagoon. San Elijo Lagoon is a 303(d) impaired water body listed for sediment/siltation,
high coliform, and eutrophic conditions. In addition, it is also an Area of Special Biological
Concern (ASBS). In the west storm water drains to the Pacific Ocean (via Cottonwood Creek or
directly). The Pacific Ocean is listed as a 303(d) impaired water body at Moonlight Beach for
high coliform due to urban runoff from Cottonwood Creek.
1.4 Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Throughout this program, special requirements are established for areas located within, directly
adjacent to, or discharging directly to an "environmentally sensitive area ". The definition of
"environmentally sensitive areas" is described in the Municipal Permit, Section F.1.b.(a)vii and
interpreted for the City of Encinitas in this section. The Municipal Permit defines
environmentally sensitive areas as:
Introduction Page 1 -2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
"Environmentally sensitive areas include but are not limited to all Clean Water Act Section
303(d) impaired waster bodies; areas designated as Areas of Special Biological Significance by
the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin
(1994) and amendments); water bodies designated with the RARE beneficial use by the State
Water Resources Control Board (Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (1994)
and amendments); areas designated as preserves or their equivalent under the Multi Species
Conservation Program within the Cities and County of San Diego; and any other equivalent
environmentally sensitive areas which have been identified by the Co- permitteess. "Directly
adjacent" means situated within 200 feet of the environmentally sensitive area. "Discharging
directly to" means outflow from a drainage conveyance system that is composed entirely of
flows form the subject development or redevelopment site, and not commingled with flows from
adjacent lands."
1.4.1 Clean Water Act section 303(d) Impaired Water Bodies
Within the City of Encinitas there are two currently listed impaired water bodies. They include
San Elijo Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean at Moonlight Beach. It is anticipated the Batiquitos
Lagoon will be listed in the 2002. The pollutants or stressors for these water bodies include:
eutrophic, high coliform count, and sediment/siltation for San Elijo lagoon, high bacteria count
for the Pacific Ocean at Moonlight (caused by urban runoff from Cottonwood Creek), and
Sediment/siltation for Batiquitos Lagoon.
1.4.2 Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS)
Areas of special biological concern in Encinitas include:
• City of Encinitas Marine Life Refuge
• Batiquitos Lagoon Ecological Reserve
• San Elijo Ecological Reserve
1.4.3 Water bodies designated with the RARE beneficial use
Rare, Threatened, or Endangered Species (RARE) includes uses of water that support habitats
necessary, at least in part, for the survival and successful maintenance of plant or animal
species established under state or federal law as rare, threatened or endangered. There are no
water bodies within the City that support RARE beneficial uses.
1.4.4 MSCP /MHCP Preserves
The Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) and the Multiple Habitat Conservation
Program (MHCP) are comprehensive plans designed to contribute to the preservation of
biodiversity by developing a coordinated habitat preserve system. The applicable plan for
Encinitas is the MHCP; the MSCP covers unincorporated areas of San Diego County.
Based on these sensitive areas, an overall map has been prepared by Encinitas to define the
boundaries of sensitive areas. This map shows data from the MHCP and 303(d) impaired water
bodies. It provides guidance to the various individuals prioritizing areas based on the threat to
water quality. A copy of this map is provided in Figure 1 -2.

City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
2.0 MUNICIPAL (EXISTING DEVELOPMENT) COMPONENT
The municipal component of the City's Storm Water Program includes proper management of
facilities owned and operated by the City of Encinitas to eliminate or reduce the amount of
pollutants that enter the storm drain system. These facilities include the streets, the storm drain
system, municipally owned facilities (city buildings, maintenance yards, fire stations), parks, and
open space. The primary goals of this component are municipal staff education, BMP
implementation and facility inspections. This component primarily involves the Public Works
Department, the Community Services Department, and Engineering Services Department within
the City. The following municipal activities are covered under this component:
• Street Sweeping
• Storm Drain Maintenance
• Litter Control
• Capital Projects (roadway repair and maintenance)
• Municipal Facilities
• Parks and Recreation Maintenance
• Public Lands Maintenance
The pollutants of concern associated with municipal activities include oils and grease from
leaking engines, litter, herbicides used for vegetation control, pesticides used for animal control,
paints and solvents used when painting, battery acid from leaks, anti - freeze from leaking
radiators, heavy metals from brake linings, green waste from road side clipping and mowing,
and sediment from construction and earth moving.
2.1 Pollution Prevention
Pollution prevention activities are aimed at keeping pollutants form entering the storm drain
system. The primary pollution prevention activities include; street sweeping, storm drain
maintenance and litter control through the Public Works Department; erosion control and good
housekeeping practices during construction of capital project through the Engineering Services
Department; compliance with Hazmat and good housekeeping practices at Public Works
Department's municipal facilities; and landscape management within the Community Services
Department.
Street Sweeping, Storm Drain Maintenance and Litter Control - The City has an aggressive
pollution abatement program by creating the Public Works National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ( NPDES) Division. During the dry summer months, storm drain catch basins
and pipes accumulate trash, debris, and other unwanted waste. The NPDES Division works
closely with the City's Storm Water Management Program and performs cleaning and
maintenance activities on the City's storm water conveyance systems. A detailed description of
the City's storm drain maintenance procedures is provided in Section 2.4. The Public Works
Department operates the street sweeping and litter control program, which is described below.
Street sweeping is an effective method of reducing the amount of pollutants (litter, green waste,
oils and grease and sediment) on street surfaces that may contribute pollutants to storm water.
The City uses two types of street sweepers depending on the type of debris to be removed. A
broom sweeper is utilized to remove heavy silt and debris and a vacuum sweeper is utilized to
Municipal Component Page 2 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
collect litter and leaves. Both sweepers are in compliance with air quality requirements of Rule
1186. The frequency of street sweeping depends on traffic volume. Arterial streets, such as
Highway 101, and collector streets, such as Santa Fe Road, are swept weekly. Residential
areas are swept monthly. Street sweeping is most effective when sweepers have access to the
entire length of the curb. Thus, areas within the City with chronic hindrances due to parked
cars, are posted with "no parking" signs during the scheduled streets sweeping times.
The City's litter control program consists of street sweeping and removal of litter and debris from
roadways, right -of -ways, drainage channels, parks and open space on an as- needed basis.
Public Works crews will initiate litter collection based on visual observations during routine
maintenance activities, citizen complaints, and routine collection in areas of known debris
accumulation. Public Works crews collect litter and County Probation crews depending on crew
availability and the nature of the project.
Capital Projects — Capital projects, which include the construction of public facilities, are
generally constructed by outside contractors. All construction activities are required to submit
grading plans and comply with all applicable regulations and requirements as spelled out herein
in Section 3.2.
Municipal Facilities - Storm water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) have been developed
for the City's four main operations facilities. These include D Street Facility, Requeza Street
Facility, City Fleet Maintenance, and the Old ESD Site. The SWPPPs include a site description,
a description of potential sources of pollutants, a summary of existing BMPs, a description of
BMPs to be implemented, and a monitoring and record keeping plan. The SWPPPs are
maintained at each facility.
Landscape Management of Public Areas - Over - watering of public areas is prevented through
the use of computer controlled irrigation systems. This system is monitored and controlled by a
central computer at City Hall, and provides almost instant data on the state of the irrigation
system. If a leak is detected in an irrigation line, the system will automatically shut down, and
inform the system operator of the problem. Sensors in landscaped areas can detect when it
rains, shutting off the irrigation system until the soil is dry enough for it to re -start. Fertilizer
application in landscaped areas is closely monitored to ensure that the application stays in the
landscape, and not anywhere else. Our contractors use high - quality products, in the proper
amounts, to keep lawns, trees and shrubs growing their best.
2.2 Source identification
There are over 163 miles of publicly owned streets in Encinitas. The City owns and operates
the MS4 and approximately half of the sanitary sewer system. There are four municipal
operations facility locations in the City. These include; the D Street Facility, Requeza Street
Facility, City Fleet Maintenance Facility, and City Hall. In addition, the City owns and operates
city parks and city beaches. These facilities are included in the City's storm water database
inventory and GIS.
2.3 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization
This section presents the prioritization criteria for municipal facilities and how they specifically
apply to the City of Encinitas. In evaluating the threat to water quality the Municipal Permit
Municipal Component Page 2 -2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
requires Copermittees to consider several general issues. In addition to these issues, specific
activities and facility types are required to be considered high priority.
2.3.1 Considerations for High Priority Facilities
The issues the City considered for prioritization of municipal facilities are as follows:
• Type of municipal area or activity;
• Materials used;
• Wastes generated;
• Pollutant discharge potential;
• Non -storm water discharges;
• Size of facility or area;
• Proximity to receiving water bodies;
• Sensitivity of receiving water bodies and
• Any other relevant factors.
2.3.2 Minimum High Priorities
The Municipal Permit section F.3.a.(3)(b) identifies fifteen types of facilities or activities that are
considered minimum high priority activities. To simplify discussion and avoid redundancy, these
are consolidated into the following six categories.
1. Roads, Streets, Highways, and Parking Facilities
These types of facilities have the potential to generate many pollutants. Streets, roads,
highways and parking facilities tend to collect litter and debris from nearby activities as well
as from vehicular traffic. The fact that most are impervious only makes matters worse. In
addition most of these types of facilities have direct discharges into storm water
conveyances and /or receiving waters to reduce flooding during periods of rain. The primary
pollutants of concern for roads, streets and highways are heavy metals -brake linings, oils
and grease - leaking engines, herbicides - vegetation control, pesticides - animal control, paints -
pavement painting, solvents -used when painting, battery acid, anti - freeze - leaking radiators,
litter, green waste -road side clipping, and mowing. The possible pollutants of concern for
parking lots include, oils and grease, battery acid, anti - freeze, litter, heavy metals, and
detergents.
2. Flood Management Project and Flood Control Devices
These types of projects or devices primarily collect and convey storm water to receiving
water during storms in order to prevent flooding. The systems must be maintained so that
they function hydraulically as intended during storm events. An unfortunate consequence is
that they also convey non -storm water runoff (urban runoff) into the same receiving waters.
They have the potential of transporting pollutants that are discharged into them over great
distances.
As a consequence of the function of the storm water conveyance system, the system is
subject to collecting and transporting all the potential storm water pollutants. The
conveyance system receives pollutants generated by motor vehicles, namely, heavy metals,
oil and grease, and other toxic pollutants from engine exhaust, brake linings, and leaking
Municipal Component Page 2 -3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
fluids. Waste liquids, such as oil and paint, are often illegally dumped into conveyance
system structures. Illegal connections can be made to the .storm water conveyance system
and potentially introduce a wide variety of pollutants to the system. Street curbs and gutters,
storm drain inlets, culverts and channels typically collect litter discarded in urban areas. As
such, floatables and oxygen demanding substances also comprise the suite of potential
storm water pollutants found in conveyance system facilities. Stagnant water in gutters,
channel depressions, and other "low flow — dead spots" can increase the oxygen demand of
storm water during the next rainfall event. Deteriorating streets and conveyance system
facilities can generate sediment as a potential storm water pollutant. All of these pollutants
can reach the storm water conveyance system with each rainfall event, and in turn, be
carried to receiving water bodies.
Conveyance system maintenance activities require the use of certain potential storm water
pollutants, namely, herbicides and pesticides. Herbicides are often used for vegetation
control. Maintenance activities may result in the inadvertent introduction of excess sediment
(from stream bank disturbance or repair), as well as oil and grease and other fluids leaking
from maintenance vehicles and equipment.
3. Municipal Facilities adjacent to or discharging into sensitive water bodies:
• Municipal Facilities or activities tributary to 303(d) water bodies.
• Municipal Facilities or activities discharging to environmentally sensitive areas.
4. Specific Municipal Facilities
The Municipal Facilities that must be managed as high priority are:
• Active or closed municipal landfills;
• Publicly owned treatment works (including water and wastewater treatment plants)
and sanitary sewage collections systems;
• Municipal separate storm sewer systems;
• Incinerators;
• Solid waste transfer facilities;
• Land application sites;
• Uncontrolled sanitary landfills;
• Corporate yards including maintenance and
equipment and vehicles;
• Sites for disposing and treating sewage sludge
storage yards for materials, waste,
The potential pollutants of concern are , waste oil, scrap metal, used antifreeze, used oil
filters, oily rags or towels, sediment, sludge, and normal refuse associated with daily
operations.
5. Municipal sources contributing significant pollutant loads to the MS4.
The category is defined in the Municipal Permit as "Other municipal sources that the
Copermittee determines may contribute a significant pollutant load to the MS4 ". "Significant"
pollutant loads are those that "cause or contribute to the violation of water quality
standards ". If it determined that a municipal discharge will cause or contribute to such a
Municipal Component Page 2 -4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
violation, the source must be considered high priority and BMPs instituted to achieve
// appropriate load reductions.
l
6. Municipal Airfields.
Airport pollutants may be generated by various daily activities. Airport storm water runoff is
impacted by; aircraft and ground vehicle maintenance and repair, aircraft and vehicle
fueling, fuel storage and transfer, aircraft and vehicle washing, liquid waste storage, and
airline activities. These activities have the potential to contribute a large number of
pollutants into the storm water conveyance systems or receiving waters if they are not
properly managed using BMPs.
2.3.3 Initial High Priority Facilities
Based on the consideration and definition of high priority municipal facilities presented above,
the following areas within the City of Encinitas are considered high priority threats to water
quality:
(a) Municipally owned roads and streets, Highway 101, and the City Hall and
Community Center parking lots, and city beaches
(b) San Elijo Water Pollution Control Facility
(c) Municipally owned storm drain system and storm water facilities (structural controls)
(d) Municipal facilities including:
• D Street Facility,
• Requeza Street Facility, and
• City Fleet Maintenance Facility
All other municipally owned facilities are considered to be low priority threats to water quality.
2.4 BMP Implementation
Municipal facility BMPs consist of maintenance and cleaning of the Municipally owned roads
and streets, Highway 101, and the City Hall parking lot, maintenance and cleaning of the MS4
and storm water facilities (structural controls), and pollution prevention, control and treatment at
municipal facilities. Effective use and control of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers is presented
in Section 2.5.
This section provides a description of the goals and objectives, types of activities that have the
potential to discharge pollutants, types of conveyances, potential pollutants and a list of
potential BMP options for each high priority category. The City has determined the specific
minimum BMPs requirements for each category.
2.4.1 Designated BMPs for Specific Municipal Activities /Areas
1. Roads, Streets, Highways, and Parking Facilities
• Street Sweeping — Street sweeping is required for all streets and roads within the City's
jurisdiction. Street sweeping is an effective method of reducing the amount of pollutants
(litter, green waste, oils and grease and sediment) on street surfaces that may contribute
Municipal Component Page 2 -5
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
pollutants to storm water. The City uses two types of street sweepers depending on the
type of debris to be removed. A broom sweeper is utilized to remove heavy silt and
debris and a vacuum sweeper is utilized to collect litter and leaves. Both sweepers are
in compliance with air quality requirements of Rule 1186. The frequency of street
sweeping depends on traffic volume. Arterial streets, such as Highway 101, and collector
streets, such as Santa Fe Road, are swept weekly. Residential areas are swept
monthly. Street sweeping is most effective when sweepers have access to the entire
length of the curb. Thus, areas within the City with chronic hindrances due to parked
cars, are posted with "no parking" signs during the scheduled streets sweeping times.
Litter Control - A litter control program is implemented for roads and highways under
the City's jurisdiction. The program consists of street sweeping and removal of litter and
debris from roadways, right -of -ways, drainage channels, parks and opens space on an
as- needed basis. Public Works crews initiate litter collection based on visual
observations during routine maintenance activities, citizen complaints, and routine
collection in areas of known debris accumulation. Litter is collected by Public Works
crews and County Probation crews depending on crew availability and the nature of the
project.
Parking Surface Cleaning — High priority parking facilities (City Hall and Community
Center parking lots) are required be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent accumulated
wastes and pollutants from being discharged into conveyance systems during rainy
conditions. Dry cleaning methods (sweeping or vacuuming) are required to prevent the
discharge of pollutants into the storm water conveyance system. If water is used to
clean a parking facility the wash water is not allowed to enter any storm water
conveyance systems or receiving waters. Wash water should be directed toward the
sanitary sewer or collected and discharged to a pervious surface. Any storm drains that
are present should be sealed with an impervious material before washing begins.
Employee Training — An employee- training program will be implemented for all
municipal staff to inform employees of the components and goals of storm water
management plans. The training program will work to create an overall sensitivity to
pollution prevention concerns. A PowerPoint presentation will be prepared and
presented on an annual basis. The effectiveness of the training program will be
evaluated routinely to verify that information has been communicated effectively to the
employees.
2. Flood Management Project and Flood Control Devices
The City of Encinitas does not own or operate any flood management projects or flood
control devices. Several relatively small detention basins exist throughout the City that are
considered medium priority facilities. These facilities are required to be cleaned of debris
and collected sediment on an annual basis.
3. High Priority Municipal Facilities
This category of facilities includes those in the categories of; Municipal Facilities adjacent to
or discharging into sensitive water bodies, Specific Municipal Facilities, and Municipal
sources contributing significant pollutant loads to the MS4. The City requires that all
facilities in this category prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This
plan shall be in compliance with the Municipal Storm Water Ordinance or the State General
Municipal Component Page 2 -6
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Industrial Permit, whichever is appropriate. The SWPPP shall include a discussion and
implementation plan for the following minimum BMPs:
Good Housekeeping - Good housekeeping practices are required at all high priority
municipal facilities. These practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work
environment. A clean work environment reduces the possibility of accidental spills
caused by mishandling of chemicals or equipment and should reduce safety hazards to
facility personnel. The following good housekeeping measures are required to be
implemented in an effort to prevent pollutants from entering storm water discharges.
- Information on good housekeeping practices should be distributed during employee
training sessions.
- Good housekeeping measures should be discussed at employee meetings.
- Employees should be informed of activities that could potentially cause
contamination of storm" water and the importance of carefully conducting these
activities in areas that do not discharge /drain to storm sewers.
- Good housekeeping tips and reminders should be posted on employee bulletin
boards.
Improved Operation and Maintenance - Establish proper operation and maintenance
practices to ensure processes and equipment are working well to lead to a reduction of
materials entering the environment. Review current maintenance activities, evaluate if
the maintenance efforts can directly or indirectly contribute pollutants to receiving
waters, revise procedures or adopt additional BMPs as necessary to reduce the
contribution of pollutants to receiving waters during maintenance activities, and educate
employees on revised procedures.
Material Storage Practices - Hazardous waste and materials used shall be properly
identified, handled, and stored; and instructions shall be given to all site personnel.
Improper storage of these materials can result in accidental spills and the release of
materials. Any underground or aboveground storage tanks shall be designed and
managed in accordance with applicable regulations, be identified as a potential pollution
source, have secondary containment, such as a berm or dike with an impervious
surface.
Material Inventory Procedures - Up -to -date inventory of all hazardous and non-
hazardous materials used at the facility will be maintained by site personnel on an
annual basis. Chemicals used at the facility should be handled with adequate
precaution. Hazardous and toxic materials used at the site must be identified, quantified,
and managed in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. In addition,
materials should be recycled, reclaimed, and /or reused to reduce the volume of
materials brought into the facility when possible, and less or non -toxic materials will be
substituted for toxic materials.
• Preventive Maintenance - Onsite equipment is required to be maintained in good
working condition. The preventive maintenance program shall include regular
inspections and testing of facility equipment. The storm water preventive maintenance
Municipal Component Page 2 -7
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
program and BMPs shall expand the current preventive maintenance program to include
storm water considerations.
• Spill Prevention and Response - Spills and leaks are one of the largest contributors of
storm water pollutants. A spill response plan shall be kept at each facility and shall have
spill prevention and response procedures that identify potential spill areas, specify
material handling procedures, describe spill response procedures, and provide spill
clean -up equipment. The plan should take steps to:
• Identify and characterize potential spills,
• Eliminate and reduce spill potential and
• Respond to spills when they occur in an effort to prevent pollutants from entering
the storm water drainage system.
Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Operations — Vehicle and equipment
maintenance shall be performed indoors if at all possible. The number of solvents used
at the facility should be kept to a minimum to make recycling easier and to reduce
hazardous waste management cost. Mechanics should clean vehicle parts without
using liquid cleaners wherever possible to reduce waste. All Parked vehicles should be
monitored for leaks and pans should be placed under any leaks to collect the fluids for
proper disposal or recycling.
• Waste Disposal and Recycling - Waste disposal areas should be kept free of litter and
debris. Waste receptacles must be covered or have a lid to prevent the contents from
being dispersed by the wind or coming in contact with storm water. All recyclable
wastes such as batteries, solvents, waste oil and anti- freeze should be stored in a
covered area that prevents contact with storm water.
Vehicle and Equipment Washing - All washing of vehicles or equipment should be
performed in a designated location that recycles or properly discharges wash water,
inside, or on an impervious surface. The wash water must be collected and treated at
the facility and either recycled or collected and disposed of as an industrial waste. If it is
not feasible to wash the vehicles or equipment inside, then a designated area outside
should be assigned for washing. This area must be bermed to collect the wash water
and graded to direct the wash water to a treatment or disposal facility.
Loading and Unloading Materials - Loading and unloading operations is required to
be performed in covered areas such as building overhangs at loading docks, if feasible.
Roof drains should be directed away from this area.
• Storage Tanks - All tanks and drum storage areas, whether permanent or temporary,
are required to have a secondary containment system. All specific standards set by
Federal and State laws concerning the storage of oil and hazardous materials must be
met. Regular inspections of the integrity of all containers (i.e. tanks, drums) should be
performed.
• Outside Storage - Raw materials, by- products, finished products, containers, and other
materials shall be stored in inside. If this is not feasible, all outside storage areas should
be covered with a roof and bermed, or enclosed to prevent storm water contact. At the
very minimum, a temporary waterproof covering should be used over all materials stored
Municipal Component Page 2 -8
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
outside. All materials stored outside should have some type of secondary containment
system in case of spills or leaks.
Facility and Grounds Maintenance - The implementation of best management
practices for the exterior of municipal high priority facilities is designed to prevent
pollutants from these areas from entering storm water conveyance systems. Litter and
debris are collected and disposed of properly. All paved surfaces are swept if necessary
and the waste is collected and disposed of properly. All storm drain inlets, culverts and
dry creeks or swales are kept clean and free from debris as part of the.
• Landscape Waste - Landscape waste consists of clippings, cuttings and droppings of
leafy and woody materials. The following procedures should be implemented, where
applicable, to assure that exposed materials and accumulated trimmings and litter will be
disposed of properly and not to the storm drain system:
• Require all employees and contractors who generate landscape waste to dispose
of it at a Copermittee- approved composting location or permitted landfill; include
such provisions in landscape maintenance contracts.
• Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses, and berm or
cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to the storm drain system.
• Native Vegetation - The following procedures will be implemented, where applicable, to
retain and plant native vegetation when practical to reduce water, fertilizer and pesticide
needs.
• Determine existing native vegetation features (location, species, size, function,
importance, etc.) and consider the feasibility of protecting them.
• Consider elements such as their effect on drainage and erosion, hardiness,
maintenance requirements, and possible conflicts between preserving vegetation
and the resulting maintenance needs.
• Where feasible, retain and /or plant selected native vegetation whose features are
determined to be beneficial
Pesticide, Herbicide, and Fertilizer Application and Handling- The Federal Pesticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and California Title 3, Division 6, Pesticides and Pest
Control Operations place strict controls over pesticide application and handling and
specify training, annual refresher, and testing requirements. The regulations generally
cover: a list of approved pesticides and selected uses, updated regularly; general
application information; equipment use and maintenance procedures; and record
keeping. The California Department of Pesticide Regulations and the County Agricultural
Commission coordinate and maintain the licensing and certification programs. All public
agency employees who apply pesticides and herbicides in "agricultural use" areas such
as parks, golf courses, rights -of -way and recreation areas should be properly certified in
accordance with state regulations. Contracts for landscape maintenance should include
similar requirements.
All employees who handle pesticides must be familiar with the most recent MSDS files.
Additional BMPs that should be considered include: always use caution when handling
any hazardous product; read and follow use instructions, use up all of the product before
Municipal Component Page 2 -9
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
disposing or give the extra to other agencies or community groups; do not dispose of
product down storm drains, into creeks, onto the ground, or by burning. .
Employee Training - An employee- training program is required to be implemented to
inform employees of the components and goals of storm water management plans. The
training program should create an overall sensitivity to pollution prevention concerns.
Open discussions should be encouraged to further the importance and enhance the
program. In addition, the effectiveness of the training program should be evaluated
routinely to verify that information has been communicated effectively to the employees.
The training program may consist of both formal and informal training. Employee
training will be performed at a minimum annually.
4. Municipal Airfields
The City of Encinitas has no municipal or private airfields.
2.5 Maintenance of MS4
The municipal separate storm sewer (MS4) consists of publicly owned creeks, rock lined
channels, concrete channels, pipelines and catch basins, de- silting basins, and detention
basins. In general, implementation of BMPs for MS4 maintenance to the maximum extent
practicable includes:
• Inspection and removal of trash and debris from all drainage facilities — annually / year
round
• Inspection and removal of accumulated sediment and debris from catch basins and
concrete channels - annually / year round
• Inspection and removal of silt after sufficient accumulation from creeks, desilting basins,
detention basins, and rock lined channels — annually / and between July 15 to March 15.
• Maintenance of flow line vegetation in open channels, desilting basins, detention basins,
and rock lined channels — annually /and between July 15 to March 15.
• Non- emergency storm water facility repairs and construction — as needed /and between
May 15 to November 15.
• Emergency storm water facility maintenance, repairs and construction — as needed/ year
round
• Illicit discharge detection and reporting - as encountered / year round
• Properly handle materials and dispose of waste removed during maintenance activities
in a manner that will not release the material to the storm drain system, or in any other
way contaminate storm water runoff — always / year round
• Record keeping and internal reporting of maintenance activities
Maintenance of the MS4 in the City of Encinitas is be broken into two main sectors. The first
includes above ground facilities, such as open channels, street gutters and storm water
treatment facilities. The second sector is below ground facilities, such as catch basins, inlets,
and pipelines. The maintenance procedures for these two sectors are necessarily different
because of access issues. Following is a description of the City's maintenance program for
each of these sectors.
r
Municipal Component Page 2 -10
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
2.5.1 Above Ground Maintenance
Inspection and Cleaning Activities - Maintenance of the above ground MS4 primarily includes
cleaning of publicly owned creeks, rock lined channels, concrete channels, brow ditches, de-
silting basins, and detention basins. The goal of the above ground storm drain cleaning
program is to clean the system annually, and to respond residential complaints and emergency
situations, such as blockages, sediment accumulation, and. overflows. An automated NPDES
Work Order Program is used to record and direct day -to -day efforts of the crews. The forms are
digitally connected to a database for record keeping purposes.
For inspection and maintenance purposes, the City is broken into ten areas. Each year,
maintenance crews routinely begin in the northernmost area and work their way south. Storm
drain facilities are inspected and cleaned if accumulated debris is found. The NPDES Work
Order form is filled out to record any maintenance that is necessary. When referrals or
complaints are received, the NPDES Work Order form is used by a dispatcher to direct crews to
the location in reference. After cleaning the form is completed in the field and the database is
updated.
Inspection and Cleaning Schedule Routine inspection and cleaning of concrete -lined
facilities is performed between May 1 and September 30 of each year, with additional cleaning
performed between October 1 and April 30, if necessary. Inspection and cleaning of creeks,
desilting basins, detention basins, and rock lined channels is performed annually between July
15 to March 15. Maintenance of flow line vegetation in open channels, desilting basins,
detention basins, and rock -fined channels is also performed annually between July 15 to March
15. Non - emergency storm drain facility repairs and construction is performed as needed
between May 15 to November 15.
Disposal Practices and Record Keeping — Debris removed from the aboveground MS4 is
transported to San Elijo Water Pollution Control Facility and stored until approximately 50 yards
of material has been accumulated. The material is then tested using three grab samples to
determine the proper disposal techniques. Generally, material is not found to be contaminated
and is disposed of at county landfill. Contaminated material is disposed of by an outside
contractor, Alternative Soil Disposal.
The quantity of debris removed form the storm drain system is measured using two methods.
First, the NPDES Work Order form will be modified to include a location for maintenance crews
to record the amount of debris collected on a job -by -job basis. A second method is to measure
the amount of debris accumulated and disposed of. The quantity of debris removed will be
rectified between these two methods and the total quantity of material removed form the MS4
will be reported to the Storm Water Program annually for inclusion in the Jurisdictional Urban
Runoff Management Plan Annual Report.
2.5.2 Below Ground Maintenance
Inspection and Cleaning Activities - The below ground maintenance program consists
primarily of. cleaning inlets, catch basins, and pipelines. Each year, maintenance crews
routinely begin in the northernmost area and work their way south. Storm drain facilities are
inspected and cleaned if accumulated debris is found. Cleaning is performed using a
combination sewer or storm drain cleaner (Vac -con) truck that utilizes a water recovery and
Municipal Component Page 2 -11
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
vacuum unit so that disturbed sediment and debris is fully captured and can be disposed of
properly according to its degree of contamination.
Inspection and Cleaning Schedule — Routine inspection and cleaning of underground facilities
is performed between May 1 and September 30 of each year, with additional cleaning
performed between October 1 and April 30, if necessary.
Disposal Practices and Record Keeping — Debris removed from the underground portion of
the MS4 is transported to the San Elijo Water Pollution Control Facility. Because the debris has
a high water content, it is initially dewatered. The decanted liquid drains to the headworks of the
treatment plant. The solids are stored on a concrete pad that is bermed to prevent transport of
the material into the storm drain facility. When approximately 50 yards of material has been
accumulated, the material is tested using three grab samples to determine the proper disposal
techniques. If the material is found to be uncontaminated, it is spread onto land at the treatment
facility. Contaminated material is disposed of by an outside contractor, Alternative Soil
Disposal.
The quantity of debris removed form the storm drain system is measured by estimating the
amount of debris accumulated at the storage site. The total quantity of material removed form
the MS4 will be reported to the Storm Water Program annually for inclusion in the Jurisdictional
Urban Runoff Management Plan Annual Report.
2.6 Management of Pesticides, Herbicides, and Fertilizers
The City of Encinitas is planning to implement an integrated pest management program (IPM).
The goal of this program is to manage municipal facilities in such a way to reduce the amount of
pesticides and herbicides utilized on public land. When the program is fully implemented, the
JURMP will be revised to include IPM.
2.6.1 Community Services
The Parks and Beach Division is responsible for landscape maintenance and repair of park and
beach facilities, municipal service areas, recreation trails and streetscapes. All maintenance
done at the City's parks and beaches is accomplished by landscape maintenance contractors.
Fertilizer application in landscaped areas is closely monitored to ensure that the application
stays in the landscape, and not anywhere else. The City uses state -of -the -art maintenance
practices, designed to keep parks beautiful, while using our resources to the best advantage.
2.6.2 Public Works
Minimize use of herbicides are required for weed control by utilize mowing and mulching for
weed control. Pesticides are restricted from use in channels. If needed around channels, the
use aquatic herbicides, such as Rodeo, is required. All personnel that use chemicals are
required to be licensed applicators having performed 20 hours of education each 2 years. The
procedures and products used by the Public Works Department are inspected by the USDA. To
date no violations have occurred.
Municipal Component Page 2 -12
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
2.7 Inspection Municipal Areas and Activities
Municipal areas are inspected on an ongoing basis by Public Works and Engineering Services
staff. In addition, annual inspections are specifically made of the storm drain system and the
four main municipally owned municipal facilities including the D Street Facility, the Requeza
Street Facility, and Fire Station No. 3 -Fleet Maintenance Facility.
The City also has a direct storm drain pollution control and dumping hotline for reporting by
citizens. This hotline is often used to report illicit discharge activities that may be causing storm
drain pollution.
A record keeping systems will be established to document housekeeping and preventive
maintenance inspections, and training activities. All housekeeping and preventive maintenance
inspections will be documented. Inspection documentation will contain the following
information:
• The date and time the inspection was performed
• Name of the inspector
• Items inspected
• Problems noted
• Corrective action required
• Date corrective action was taken
Other means to document and record inspection results are field notes, timed and dated
photographs, videotapes, and drawings and maps. All records shall be retained at the facility for
at least one year after the expiration of the permit.
2.8 Enforcement of Municipal Areas and Activities
Activities performed in the operation and maintenance of municipal areas will comply with all
federal, state and local regulations, specifically the City's Storm Water Management Ordinance,
at all times. The City Manager is the appointing authority for all department heads and will use
this authority to ensure that the City complies with all laws.

3.0 INDUSTRIAL (EXISTING DEVELOPMENT) COMPONENT
The industrial component of the City of Encinitas' storm water program focuses on educating
and working with industrial facilities to comply with the Statewide General Stormwater NPDES
Permit, eliminate non -storm water discharges, and reduce the amount of pollutants contained in
storm water runoff from their property. The City's Storm Water Program has the primary role of
implementing the Industrial component.
3.1 Pollution Prevention
The primary goal of pollution prevention at industries is to eliminate or reduce the generation of
pollutants at their source. However, the incentive for pollution prevention at industries is to
decrease production costs associated with excess pollutant waste handling and disposal costs.
The following pollution prevention principles apply to most industries:
• Use smaller quantities of toxic materials or substitute less -toxic materials
• Change production processes to reduce waste
• Decrease wastewater flows
• Recycle wastes as part of the production process (most preferred), off site or on site
(least preferred)
• Segregate wastes treat wastes on site to decrease volume and /or toxicity
• Dispose of wastes properly.
All industrial facilities operating in the City of Encinitas are considered high priority and are
required to maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on site. The SWPPP
outlines pollution prevention methods appropriate for the facility. Requirements for developing
the SWPPP are described in Section A of the Water Quality Order No. 97- 03 -DWQ, water
Discharge Requirements of Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Industrial Activities
Excluding Construction Activities, issued by the SWRCB.
3.2 Source Identification
Within the City of Encinitas there are very few industries. One Light Industrial (LI) zone exists
on the east side of Westlake Street, just south of Encinitas Boulevard. However, the parcels in
this area are occupied by commercial outlets such as auto body repair shops, a tile flooring
retail outlet, and an exercise gym. These are either not regulated or fall into the City's
commercial program.
After a review of the Industrial Storm Water Permit regulations and discussions with the
Regional Water Quality Control Board, only two facilities in Encinitas fall under the jurisdiction of
the SWRCB Industrial General Permit. These facilities are the San Deguito Union School
District's school bus terminal located 1142 Bonita Drive, and the San Elijo Water Pollution
Control Facility, located at 2695 Manchester Road. Notices of Intent (NOls) have been filed by
these facilities. Two other facilities have SIC codes listed as conditional industries under the
Industrial General Permit. These facilities are a jeweler (SIC code 3961) and newspaper facility
(SIC code 2711). City staff inspected these sites and determined that there is no exposure to
Industrial Component Page 3 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Plan
storm water at the sites. Therefore, a Notice of Non - Applicability was filed with the City and
State exempting them from the Industrial General Permit Requirements.
An inventory has been developed for the industrial facilities in the City's jurisdiction. The
inventory will include, at a minimum, the site name, site address, SIC code(s), a narrative
description of the principal products or services provided at the site, data obtained from the site
inspections, including the facility Waste Discharge Identification Number, date of the SWPPP,
and the inspection data. (The contents of the inspection are discussed below). This inventory
is contained both a database which is updated constantly and in the City's GIS. The GIS is
updated annually.
3.3 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization
Both of the industrial sites in Encinitas are classified as high priority threats to water quality.
The San Deguito Union School District bus terminal is subject to section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). The San Elijo Water
pollution Control Facility discharges storm water into the San Elijo Lagoon with has been
designated an impaired water body according to section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
If during the City's inspection process of industrial or commercial facilities, it is determined that
other sites should be classified as industrial facilities, they will be added to the industrial list and
subject to the requirements outlined in this component. Any changes to the status of the
industries in the City will be reported to in the city's JURMP annual Report.
3.4 BMP Implementation
Industries are required to prepare a SWPPP and implement the BMPs prescribed therein. The
following minimum BMPs are required for industrial sites:
• SWPPP - Maintain an up -to -date SWPPP for facility, and perform monitoring as required
by the State General Industrial Permit. Monitoring results must be forwarded to the City
of Encinitas annually.
Material Storage Practices - Hazardous waste and materials used shall be properly
identified, handled, and stored; and instructions shall be given to all site personnel.
Improper storage of these materials can result in accidental spills and the release of
materials. Any underground or aboveground storage tanks shall be designed and
managed in accordance with applicable regulations, be identified as a potential pollution
source, have secondary containment, such as a berm or dike with an impervious
surface.
Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Operations — Vehicle and equipment
maintenance shall be performed indoors if at all possible. The number of solvents used
at the facility should be kept to a minimum to make recycling easier and to reduce
hazardous waste management cost. Mechanics should clean vehicle parts without
using liquid cleaners wherever possible to reduce waste. All Parked vehicles should be
monitored for leaks and pans should be placed under any leaks to collect the fluids for
proper disposal or recycling.
Industrial Component Page 3 -2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
• Vehicle and Equipment Washing - All washing of vehicles or equipment should be
performed in an designated location that recycles or properly discharges wash water,
inside, or on an impervious surface. The wash water must be collected and treated at
the facility and either recycled or discharged to the sanitary sewer system or collected
and disposed of as an industrial waste. If it is not feasible to wash the vehicles or
equipment inside, then a designated area outside should be assigned for washing. This
area must be bermed to collect the wash water and graded to direct the wash water to a
treatment or disposal facility.
Re- fueling Areas - Re- fueling areas are required to have readily accessible spill
response equipment (including portable absorbent booms), to consider overhead
coverage, train employees on methods to minimize spills and respond to spills, and
provide readily available and bottom - sealed trash receptacles.
• Parking Lots - Parking lots are required to be regularly (weekly or monthly) broom (dry)
swept (cleaning with water is prohibited). Trash receptacles are required in parking lot to
discourage litter. Fluid spills shall be cleaned up immediately with absorbent rags or
material.
Spill Response, Cleanup, and Reporting - Prompt containment, cleanup, and
reporting of any spills that may pose a threat to human or environmental health,
including any spills to the MS4.
In addition, because of the small scale of the City's industrial program, the City is able to require
site - specific BMPs at its industrial sites. These BMPs are based on a review of the site's
SWPPP and site inspections.
3.5 Monitoring of Industrial Sites
Each of the high threat industries are required to perform annual storm water monitoring under
compliance with the General Industrial Permit. Results of the monitoring are transmitted to the
City annually for inclusion in the City's wet and dry weather monitoring program.
3.5 Inspection
Each industrial site is inspected annually by City Storm water staff. The inspections include a
review of the SWPPP, review of the BMP implemented on site, and an assessment of their
effectiveness. This includes a review of the site monitoring data. The inspection procedures
are as follows:
Pre- inspection Preparation. Using the inventory database and previous inspection data,
the inspector reviews the industries anticipated industrial activities and any required
follow -up from previous inspections. The inspector also reviews any changes in the
delineation of sensitive areas or 303(d) listings that may change the facility's status.
Inspection Site Visit. The site inspections are unannounced. The inspector meets with
the site superintendent or operations manager and reviews the SWPPP. The SWPPP is
reviewed to ensure that it is in compliance with the State General Permit requirements
Industrial Component Page 3 -3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Plan
and any additional requirements the city has imposed because of its locale or activities.
The inspector also reviews other documentation, such as monitoring data records and
the spill response log, which may indicate discharge problems.
Documentation. In general, a standard inspection report serves as written record of
compliance or non - compliance, a set of instructions for compliance, and
acknowledgement by the responsible party (when signed), an update to the site's
compliance history, and a basis (case file) for further administrative or legal action, if
warranted. A copy of the City's Commercial /Industrial Inspection Form can be found in
Appendix A.
Post - inspection Processing. Information obtained from the inspection is used to update
the inventory database, and to make referrals to appropriate agencies, if appropriate.
3.6 Enforcement
The City has a multi -level enforcement procedure. Enforcement activities are carried out by its
POST' certified Environmental Health Officer and Storm Water Staff. The severity of each
case, and thus, the level of enforcement, is based on the following criteria:
Level One Enforcement — Staff maintains a high level of presence in the location or a
suspected violation. By visiting the site numerous times, staff has the opportunity to
gather information, take photographs, and perform informal education and inspections.
Level Two Enforcement - This level of enforcement occurs when staff determines that
a violation has or is occurring. Staff writes a formal Notice of Violation /Correct Work. A
sample of this notice is provided in Appendix B. The notice indicates the nature of the
violation, the required abatement procedure and a deadline to comply with the notice.
Level Three Enforcement - In the event that a Level Two Enforcement action does not
gain adequate abatement of a Notice of Violation, staff drafts a formal correspondence
requesting immediate abatement and compliance with the applicable Municipal Code
section(s).
Level Four Enforcement (Criminal Infraction) - Dischargers who do not abate as
requested in a formal, written Notice of Violation receive a citation, court appearance,
and some form of community reparation (i.e. fine and /or community service).
Level Five Enforcement (Formal Civil or Criminal Complaint) - For dischargers who
chronically ignore, verbal, and formal written requests, and continue to violate discharge
regulations after being issued a citation, storm water staff utilizes the assistance of the
City attorney for formal criminal prosecution or the filing of a civil complaint.
3.7 Reporting of Non - compliant Sites
The City will notify the SDRWQCB when a violation has been recorded that poses a significant
threat to human or environmental health. In addition, any sites that are not in compliance with
' POST certification pursuant to Section 832(a) of the California Penal code.
Industrial Component Page 3 -4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
how and why the non - compliance incident or practice presents a threat to human or
environmental health. Oral notification will be made within 24 hours of discovery of the non-
compliant incident or practice, with a follow -up written notification within 5 days of the discovery.
In addition a list of non - compliant sites will be kept up -to -date and included in the annual report.

4.0 COMMERCIAL (EXISTING DEVELOPMENT) COMPONENT
The City of Encinitas' commercial storm water program focuses on educating and assisting
commercial establishments to; 1) eliminate non -storm water discharges and, 2) reduce the
amount of pollutants contained in storm water runoff from their property. This component of the
program is implemented by the Storm Water Program staff in the Engineering Services
Department.
Commercial facilities within the City of Encinitas consist of a wide range of service oriented
businesses from restaurants to nurseries. There are five main commercial areas within the City.
The largest is the Old Encinitas downtown area along Highway 101 from Swamis to La Costa
Boulevard. This area contains many different commercial businesses ranging from restaurants
to automotive outlets. This area is the oldest portion of Encinitas.
The specifics of the commercial storm water program include a five part processes; pollution
prevention /education, source identification, BMP Implementation, inspection, and enforcement.
The program will be coordinated with the San Diego County Department of Environmental
Health (DEH) and the pretreatment programs of Leucadia County water District, Encina
Wastewater Treatment Plant and the San Elijo Water Pollution Control Plant.
4.1 Pollution Prevention
The City focuses on educating businesses about pollution prevention, water quality issues, and
their responsibilities under current regulations, including federal, state, and local. The City also
presents businesses with options to pollution- causing activities. Pollution prevention practices
are specific to the particular commercial activity and are discussed in detail below in the BMP
Implementation and the Education sections of this JURMP.
Pollution prevention principles that the City encourages among commercial businesses include:
• Use smaller quantities of toxic materials or substitute less -toxic materials
• Change production processes to reduce waste
• Decrease wastewater flows
• Recycle wastes as part of the production process (most preferred), off site or on site
(least preferred)
• Segregate wastes treat wastes on site to decrease volume and /or toxicity
• Dispose of wastes properly.
4.2 Source Identification
The City has determined that commercial facilities of concern within its jurisdiction fall into two
high priority classification;
• Facilities on the RWQCB's mandatory high priority list
• Facilities that discharge directly into Cottonwood Creek or San Elijo Lagoon
Commercial Component Page 4 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
The RWQCB's mandatory list, as outlined in the Municipal Permit requires the following
commercial site /sources be categorized as high threat:
(a) Automobile mechanical repair, maintenance, fueling, or cleaning;
(b) Airplane mechanical repair, maintenance, fueling, or cleaning;
(c) Boat mechanical repair, maintenance, fueling, or cleaning;
(d) Equipment repair, maintenance, fueling, or cleaning;
(e) Automobile and other vehicle body repair or painting;
(f) Mobile automobile or other vehicle washing;
(g) Automobile (or other vehicle) parking lots and storage facilities;
(h) Retail or wholesale fueling;
(i) Pest control services;
(j) Eating or drinking establishments;
(k) Mobile carpet, drape or furniture cleaning;
(1) Cement mixing or cutting;
(m)Masonry;
(n) Painting and coating;
(o) Botanical or zoological gardens and exhibits;
(p) Landscaping;
(q) Nurseries and greenhouses;
(r) Golf courses, parks and other recreational areas /facilities;
(s) Cemeteries;
(t) Pool and fountain cleaning;
(u) Marinas;
(v) Port-a -Potty servicing;
(w) Other commercial sites /sources that the Copermittee determines may
contribute a significant pollutant load to the MS4;
(x) Any commercial site or source tributary to a Clean water Act section 303(d)
impaired water body, where the site or source generates pollutant for which
the water body is impaired; and
(y) Any commercial site or source within or directly adjacent to or discharging
directly to a coastal lagoon or other receiving water within an environmentally
sensitive area (as defined in F.1..b(2)(a)vii of the Order).
The City of Encinitas has commercial facilities in most of these categories. Those that are not
present are shown above in unbolded print.
The City has developed a baseline inventory of all high priority threat to water quality
commercial developments within its jurisdiction. The commercial inventory is based on a
combination of the customer database from the wastewater agencies that serve the area. The
database will be verified during the inspection process and will be updated on an annual basis.
The inventory is contained in both an access database and GIS. Table 4 -1 shows a summary
of the major commercial categories by business type in the City of Encinitas. The City's full
commercial database is presented in Appendix C -2.

4.3 BMP Implementation
The City's Storm water Ordinance establishes minimum BMPs that are applicable to all
commercial facilities in the City. The City has developed a BMP Manual to assist commercial
facility operators in the selection of acceptable BMPs. Additional BMPs for commercial facilities
are required to be implemented on the basis of the facility's level of threat to water quality.
Minimum commercial BMPs have been established for all high priority commercial facilities. In
addition, supplemental controls have been developed for those facilities that are directly
tributary to Cottonwood Creek and San Elijo Lagoon. These water bodies are have been
designated as impaired according to the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d).
4.3.1 Non - Structural BMPs
Non - structural BMPs consist of procedures and - practices that prevent pollutants from entering
storm water or authorized non -storm water discharges. Because of their low cost and simplicity,
non - structural BMPs are considered first in the development of a facility's BMP program.
Following is a list of minimum required non - structural BMPs for high priority commercial
facilities:
• Good housekeeping;
• Preventive maintenance;
• Material handling and storage of significant materials;
• Employee training;
• Solid waste (non- hazardous) handling and recycling;
• Record keeping;
• Self inspection /quality assurance; and
• Spill response plan.
Commercial Component Page 4 -3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
4.3.2 Structural BMPs
Structural BMPs consist of specialized equipment, structural components, or engineered
technologies that are used when non - structural BMPs are ineffective. Because structural BMPs
are site specific, the facility operator must evaluate each proposed use. Proper installation and
regular maintenance of structural BMPs are imperative to their effectiveness. If individual
commercial operators fail to implement adequate structural BMPs, the City will work with them
during site inspections to ensure that adequate BMPs are in place. Minimum structural BMPs
required for high priority commercial facilities include:
• Overhead Coverage - Overhead coverage of chemical storage (including for all
restaurant grease bins);
• Secondary Containment - Secondary containment structures all chemical storage
areas and trash receptacles that show evidence of leaking, and for grease bins; and
• Detention Facilities - Retention ponds, basins, or surface impoundments to confine
storm water to the site if evidence is found that illegal discharges are leaving the site;
• Diversion Facilities - Berms and concrete swales or channels that divert run -on and
runoff away from pollutant sources if evidence is found that illegal discharges have
leaving the site;
• Treatment Structures - Treatment controls, e.g.,
separators, to reduce pollutants in storm water
discharges, where non - structural and other structural
failed to control pollutants from leaving the site.
4.3.3 Hazardous Materials Management
infiltration devices and oil /water
or authorized non -storm water
BMPs are not feasible or have
Many commercial facilities handle hazardous materials during different stages of operation. All
hazardous materials and hazardous wastes must be handled, stored, or disposed of as required
by all applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
For more information, facility operators should contact their County Hazardous Materials
inspector or the County Hazardous Materials Division duty specialist at (619) 338 -2231.
Operators of plant (flora) production facilities (greenhouses and nurseries) and certain non -
plant- production operations (golf courses, pest control services, botanical or zoological gardens,
cemeteries, parks, and recreational facilities) should contact the County Department of
Agriculture, Pesticide Regulatory Program, at (858) 694 -3122 for information regarding the
storage and handling of hazardous materials and wastes.
4.3.4 Nurseries
The City of Encinitas, along with several other cities in the region, recognized that controlling
runoff from nurseries presented a special challenge and developed a program, termed "The
Grower Program ", specifically designed to deal with this sector of commercial land use. The
main focus of the program is on eliminating all runoff from nurseries other than that from storms.
Commercial Component Page 4-4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Nursery runoff from irrigation and cleaning processes is to be captured on -site or eliminated
through the use of best management practices. The objectives of the program are as follows:
• Reduce /eliminate runoff entering storm drains and
impaired water bodies by providing information and
Management Practices ".
• Provide a non - regulatory liaison between growers and
utilizing runoff water in mutually beneficial methods.
• Assess the value of the BMPs utilized by growers to

• Develop a model of compliance with the 1987 Clean Water _Act regulations for
communities of floriculture growers.
• To educate growers throughout the state of California on methods that can be used to
come into compliance with the 1987 Clean water Act.
4.4 Inspection
Commercial facilities in Encinitas are routinely inspected. by both City Storm Water Program
staff and the Department of Health Services. These inspections are intended to be educational,
to provide the commercial facilities with information regarding the City's Storm Water Program,
to provide guidance in complying with storm water regulations, and to check for compliance with
the Municipal Code, Chapter 64.08 and the minimum BMPs appropriate to the facility.
The inspections consist of a site walkthrough and if deemed appropriate, water quality sampling.
A Storm Water Inspection Form is completed during the walkthrough inspection and deficiencies
are noted. A sample of the Commercial /Industrial Inspection Form is provided in Appendix A.
Any violations found are communicated to the business owner and operator in verbal and
written form and the case is turned over to the enforcement component of the program.
The Storm Water Program staff also inspects facilities in respond to customer complaints,
referrals from other departments and referrals from the Department of Environmental Health
(DEH) and Hazardous Materials Department (HMD) of the County of San Diego. Customer
complaints are received through the Storm Water Hotline. A Storm Water Complaint Database
is kept up -to -date so that staff can follow through with complaint responses.
4.5 Enforcement of Commercial Sites and Sources
The City has a multi -level enforcement procedure. Enforcement activities are carried out by its
POST' certified Environmental health Officer and Storm Water Program staff. The severity of
each case, and thus, the level of enforcement, is based on the following criteria:
Level One Enforcement — Staff maintains a high level of presence in the location or a
suspected violation. By visiting the site numerous times, staff has the opportunity to
gather information, take photographs, and perform informal education and inspections.
POST certification pursuant to Section 832(a) of the California Penal code.
Commercial Component Page 4 -5
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Level Two Enforcement - This level of enforcement occurs when staff determines that
a violation has or is occurring. Staff writes a formal Notice of Violation /Correct Work. A
sample of this notice is provided in Appendix B. The notice indicates the nature of the
violation, the required abatement procedure, and a deadline to comply with the notice.
Level Three Enforcement - In the event that a Level Two Enforcement action does not
gain adequate abatement of a Notice of Violation, staff drafts a formal correspondence
requesting immediate abatement and compliance with the applicable Municipal Code
section(s).
Level Four Enforcement (Criminal Infraction) - Dischargers who do not abate as
requested in a formal, written Notice of Violation receive a citation, court appearance,
and some form of community reparation (i.e. fine and /or community service).
Level Five Enforcement (Formal Civil or Criminal Complaint) - For dischargers who
chronically ignore, verbal, and formal written requests, and continue to violate discharge
regulations after being issued a citation, storm water staff utilizes the assistance of the
City attorney for formal criminal prosecution or the filing of a formal civil complaint.

5.0 RESIDENTIAL (EXISTING DEVELOPMENT) COMPONENT
The overall goal of the existing residential areas element is to minimize the impact of discharges
from residential areas on receiving waters in Encinitas and, where possible, to enhance the
quality of these resources. The implementation of this element overlaps into almost all
departments within the City. The primary responsibility for disseminating information and
coordination is with the Stormwater Staff in the Engineering Services Department.
5.1 Pollution Prevention
The City's residential pollution prevention program consists of encouraging residents to
minimize the amount of pollutants they generate and therefor need to dispose of. It also
includes providing acceptable and alternative methods of disposal of typical wastes generated
by residential activities. An important component of this effort is educating residents about the
effect of poor pollution prevention habits on the environment and water quality. Residential
public education and outreach is discussed in Section 5.4. Following is a description of the
pollution prevention methods that are employed at the City of Encinitas.
(a) Household Hazardous Waste — In accordance with the California Integrated Waste
Management Act (AB939) in 1989, the City provides Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
collection programs to residents to limit the volume of household hazardous waste going
into the waste stream and being deposited in landfills. Household hazardous waste
includes, but is not limited to, household cleaners, used oil and fuel additives, paint and
paint thinners, pesticides, and pool chemicals.
The current program consists of agreements with the cities of Poway and Vista that allow
Encinitas residents to dispose of their HHW at permanent collection facilities located in
Poway and Vista. The location of HHW collection facilities is provided in all printed matter
on the subject and on the City's website. To meet the needs of our citizens, several
options are provided for the proper disposal and recycling of household hazardous waste.
These include door -to -door home collection, two permanent collection facilities located in
the cities of Vista and Poway, and temporary collection events held throughout the year.
(b) Trash and recycling Services - In the City of Encinitas, for public health purposes, the
collection of solid waste is a mandatory service. All residents and businesses are liable for
payment of fees for the mandatory service (reference 11.20.010, paragraph A of the
Municipal Code). Residential service includes curbside green waste collection and
recyclable materials collection. The City of Encinitas has an exclusive franchise agreement
with EDCO waste recycling service to provide solid waste collection services in Encinitas for
both residential and commercial customers.
(c) Used Oil Recycling Program - The City has a used oil recycling program that consists of a
network of certified automotive waste recycling centers throughout the city. These facilities
accept a range of used products including used oil, oil filters, batteries and antifreeze. A big
part of this program is the dissemination of educational information regarding the benefits
of, and opportunities for, pollution prevention. This program is specifically for the residents
of Encinitas and is funded through grants from the California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB). The location of the participating oil recycling sites is provided in all oil
recycling printed material and on the City's website.
Residential Component Page 5-1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
(d) Sanitary Sewer System Maintenance — Sanitary sewer service is provided by two
agencies. Generally, the northern portion of the City is serviced by the Leucadia County
Water District and the southern portion is serviced by the Encinitas and Cardiff Sanitary
Division (ESD /CSD). These agencies provide operation and maintenance services involving
cleaning sewer lines, clearing stoppages, repairing breaks on a routine basis and
responding to emergencies as needed. Sewage is delivered for treatment and, disposal to
either the Encina Wastewater Authority in Carlsbad or to the San Elijo Water Reclamation
Facility in Cardiff. Special precaution is taken at facilities adjacent to sensitive areas to
prevent sewer spills. These include pump and pipeline redundancy and emergency
generators to ensure that service is uninterrupted during an emergency.
(e) Storm Drain Stenciling — The City's Public Works Department has implemented a program
to stencil all municipal storm drain inlets. Two types of stenciling are used; the first is an
adhesive label which says "No Dumping, Drains to Ocean ", the second is a painted stencil
has a diagram of a duck and says "No Dumping, I Live Downstream ". All new storm drains
are stenciled by Public Works crews and existing drain stencils are inspected on an ongoing
basis during routine storm drain maintenance.
(fl Pollution Prevention Materials — The City plans to begin a residential pollution prevention
program that will consist of development and distribution of printed materials to encourage
residential reduce or eliminate the generation of pollutants. The activities that will be
encouraged include:
Encourage residents to reduce vehicle fluids spills through proper maintenance
Encourage residents to reduce the amount of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides used
for lawn maintenance
Encourage residents to use alternative means of transportation (car pool, public
transportation, walk, ride bikes, etc.)
5.2 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization
5.2.1 Definition of High Priority Areas
The Municipal Permit requires each Co- permittee to identify those areas within its jurisdiction
that are considered high priority with respect to threat to water quality. The areas that must be
identified as high priority have been broken into two categories, including; (a) high priority
activities, and; (b) high priority residences and sources. These definitions are described in more
detail below.
(a) High Priority Activities' - These activities are defined and the pollutants of concern are
described below.
Automobile Repair and Maintenance. Repair and maintenance of automobiles occurs
frequently in residential neighborhoods, both by residents and by professional service
' Order No. 2001 -01 establishes seven separate categories of high priority activity. Since disposal of household hazardous waste
and green waste are subsets of home and garden care activities, this document combines them into a single category.
Residential Component Page 5-2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
providers. These activities have significance to urban runoff quality in two important
' ways. First, they have the potential to contribute many types of pollutants (such as motor
oils, greases, antifreeze, solvents, trace metals and fuels) directly to Copermittee MS4s
when they wash off driveways and streets. Second, well- running vehicles kept in good
repair pollute less during their operation as they are less likely to leak fluids onto
roadways, require less gasoline to operate, and produce lower tailpipe emissions of
hydrocarbons and particulates, which can eventually be washed into receiving waters.
• Automobile Washing. Pollutants generated by automobile washing can negatively
impact water bodies through the excessive input of nutrient substances associated with
phosphate- containing detergents, foaming agents, sediments, and a wide array of toxic
substances including trace metals and various hydrocarbons. Runoff of wash water onto
driveways, carports, streets, parking lots, etc. can carry these pollutants to storm drains
or to other surfaces where they accumulate until rainfall subsequently washes them into
the conveyance system and ultimately to receiving waters. In addition to washing by
individual residents, charity car washes conducted in residential areas without proper
BMP controls on wash water can also result in the introduction of substantial amounts of
pollutants to the MS4.
• Automobile Parking. Parked automobiles present a problem in residential areas due to
their potential collective effects on water quality. Poorly maintained vehicles leak oil,
antifreeze, and other fluids when parked. As a result, parking areas can contain heavy
deposits of many automotive pollutants. These pollutants accumulate on driveways,
streets, parking lot surfaces, etc. and are directly transported to local receiving waters.
Home and Garden Care Activities and Product Use. Home and garden care activities
make use of numerous substances, many of which are classified as hazardous wastes.
These products, which include paints, insecticides, fertilizers, and cleaning products,
require proper handling, storage, and disposal to prevent accidental releases. If
introduced to surface waters, they can cause a variety of harmful impacts including
aquatic toxicity (insecticides, pesticides, herbicides) and nutrient enrichment and algal
blooms (fertilizers). Improper or excessive irrigation is often the most important
contributing factor in the introduction of home and garden - generated pollutants to the
MS4. Excessive irrigation water mobilizes pollutants by dissolving and/ or washing them
into the storm drain system. In the absence of excessive irrigation water, these
pollutants will often be broken down into non -toxic compounds or assimilated through
natural processes. Green waste is a byproduct of gardening and other landscape
maintenance activities and may contain insecticide, pesticide, and fertilizer residues.
Green waste washed into surface waters increases the biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD) of the water body resulting in the consumption of dissolved oxygen needed by
aquatic organisms. Green waste washed into water bodies can also alter the natural flow
and configuration of stream channels and suffocate sensitive benthic (bottom)
organisms.
• Disposal of Pet Waste. Pets are animals kept for pleasure or companionship rather
than commercial purposes. In recent years, the potential contribution of pet wastes to
the fecal contamination of local receiving waters has become an issue of concern. For
this program, pets are assumed to include the most common pets (e.g., dogs, cats, and
horses in someareas). Since most other pets are either less common or kept indoors,
Residential Component Page 5-3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
their designation as high priority would likely not be justified. There are three primary
issues of concern with respect to pet waste. First, many pet owners do not clean up after
their pets when they take them for walks. Fecal matter left on neighborhood lawns and
sidewalks eventually washes onto streets and into water bodies. Second, many animals
contribute fecal matter in much the same way when they are allowed to roam residential
neighborhoods freely. Third, many owners allow their pets to defecate on their own
properties, but do not clean up the feces. In the case of horses, some owners do not
properly compost, cover or dispose of manure that is generated. Each of these situations
should be considered during the development of specific management strategies.
(b) High Priority Residences and Sources - In addition to the activities discussed above,
Permit section F.3.d.(2)J requires that Copermittees treat as high priority all existing
residences falling into each of the following three additional categories.
Residential sources contributing significant pollutant loads to the Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). "Any other residential source that the
Copermittee determines may contribute a significant pollutant load to the MS4 ". As per
Permit section C., "significant" pollutant loads is interpreted to mean those which "cause
or contribute to the violation of water quality standards ".
Residences tributary to 303(d) water bodies. Permit section F.3.d.(2) requires that
"Any residence tributary to a Clean Water Act section 303(d) impaired water body, for
which the residence generates pollutants for which the water body is impaired" be
considered high priority.
Residences discharging to an environmentally sensitive area (ESA). Permit section
F.3.d.(2) also requires that "Any residence within or directly adjacent to or discharging
directly to a coastal lagoon or other receiving waters within an environmentally sensitive
area (as defined in F.1.b.(2)(a)vii ... )" be considered a high priority.
5.2.2 Initial Prioritization
The City of Encinitas is surrounded by 303 (d) impaired water bodies and coastal lagoons.
Storm water in the north drains to Batiquitos Lagoon, which is an Area of Special Biological
Concern (ASBS), and will likely be included on the 2002 303(d) impaired water body list for
sediment. To the south and east, storm water drains to Escondido Creek (which drains to San
Elijo Lagoon) or directly to San Elijo Lagoon. San Elijo Lagoon is a 303(d) impaired water body
listed for sediment/siltation, high coliform, and eutrophic conditions. In addition, it is also an
Area of Special Biological Concern (ASBS). In the west storm water drains to the Pacific Ocean
(via Cottonwood Creek or directly). The Pacific Ocean is listed as a 303(d) impaired water body
at Moonlight Beach for high coliform due to urban runoff from Cottonwood Creek.
Based on the Municpial permit definition of high priority residential activities, it appears that
there would be few, if any residential areas of the City that would not be considered high priority.
Thus, initially, all residential areas in the City will be treated equally and as high priority. In the
next year, the co- permittees will be developing a more clear definition of terms such as "tributary
to" and directly "adjacent to ". If based on ongoing prioritization efforts, these priorities change,
the JURMP annual Report will indicate the modification.
Residential Component Page 5-4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
5.2.3 Ongoing Prioritization Strategy
Program priorities will be reviewed periodically to ensure that they continue to reflect the best
available data and information. In conducting these reviews, the following questions will be
addressed. Do the results support existing program priorities (continue)? Do the results fail to
support existing program priorities (discontinue)? Do the results indicate that other priorities are
needed (new listing)? Based on these results, priorities should be amended as a more complete
record is established.
5.3 Best Management Practice (BMP) Implementation
BMPs targeted at the general population and residential areas are implemented on two levels;
Jurisdictional BMPs and residential BMPs. Jurisdictional BMPs are structural BMPs that have
been implemented by the City or have been required to be implemented by the City.
Residential BMPs are non - structural BMPs targeted at reducing pollutant generating activities or
minimizing the effects of these activities on urban runoff water quality. This section provides a
description of these BMPs.
5.3.1 Jurisdictional BMPs
The City has a strong General Plan that works to protect water quality and open space,
including riparian and wetland areas. Over the passed ten years, several jurisdictional BMPs
have been implemented by the City or required to be implemented throughout the City as part of
new development and significant redevelopment. The goal of these projects is to improve the
water quality of adjacent receiving waters. These jurisdictional BMPs are discussed individually
below. The discussion is broken into sub - watersheds beginning in the north and moving south.

5.3.2 Residential BMPs
Residential BMPs are nonstructural and are targeted at activities defined by the Municipal
Permit as high priority and outlined in Section 5.2 above. Initially, these BMPs will be
implemented as educational materials directed at specific activities. The City has revised its
storm water ordinance to be more direct and explicit about prohibitions on non -storm water and
storm water discharges. Initial efforts in this component will be focused on getting this message
out. Over the course of collecting and analyzing water quality data, and public awareness
information, the focus and the method of implementation of these BMPs may change. For
example, if water quality data indicates that bacteria is the primary water quality concern in
Encinitas, the program may begin implementing more strict regulations or focussing efforts more
specifically at activities that general bacteria. Following is a description the BMPs that the City
will initially be focussing on in the residential component.

5.4 Enforcement OF Residential Areas and Activities
Many of the BMPs implemented in this component are educational and non - structural in nature.
Residents are generally encouraged to perform activities in such a way that will not pollute
storm water. However, the City does have strong non -storm water discharge prohibitions that
will be enforced in residential as well as commercial and construction areas. The City has a
multi -level enforcement procedure. Enforcement activities are carried out by its POST2 certified
Environmental health Officer and Stormwater Staff. The severity of each case, and thus, the
level of enforcement, is based on the following criteria:
Level One Enforcement — Staff maintains a high level of presence in the location or a
suspected violation. By visiting the site numerous times, staff has the opportunity to
gather information, take photographs, and perform informal education and inspections.
Level Two Enforcement — This level of enforcement occurs when staff determines that
a violation has or is occurring. Staff writes a formal Notice of Violation /Correct Work. A
sample of this notice is provided in Appendix B. The notice indicates the nature of the
violation, the required abatement procedure and a deadline to comply with the notice.
Level Three Enforcement — In the event that a Level Two Enforcement action does not
gain adequate abatement of a Notice of Violation, staff drafts a formal correspondence
requested immediate abatement and compliance with the application of Municipal Code
section(s).
Level Four Enforcement (Criminal Infraction) — Dischargers who do not abate as
requested in a formal, written Notice of Violation receive a citation, court appearance,
and some form of community reparation (i.e. fine and /or community service).
2 POST certification pursuant to Section 832(a) of the California Penal code.
Residential Component Page 5-9
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Level Five Enforcement (Formal Civil or Criminal Complaint) — For dischargers who
chronically ignore, verbal, and formal written requests, and continue to violate discharge
regulations after being issued a citation, stormwater staff utilizes the assistance of the
City attorney for formal prosecution of the filing of a criminal complaint.

6.0. LAND -USE PLANNING FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT
This component describes the City's approach to ensure that development and redevelopment
minimizes the negative impacts of urbanization through the implementation of its General Plan
and Land -Use policies. The City of Encinitas has strong water quality protection policies
reflected in its General Plan and Land -Use element. Being a coastal community, environmental
and water quality have been of utmost importance since the City was incorporated in 1986. The
Community Development and Engineering Services Departments within the City of Encinitas
primarily administer this component.
This component contains a review of the City's General Plan as it relates to water quality and
environmental protection. It describes how development and redevelopment projects are
reviewed within the City to ensure that the policies and regulations are followed including how
the City plans to implement the new Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plans (SUSMP)
requirements of the Municipal Permit. The environmental review process and the revisions
implemented to comply with the Municipal Permit are also discussed. Finally, a discussion of
the educational efforts the City will implement for this component is provided.
6.1 Assessment of General Plan
The City of Encinitas, being within the coastal zone, issues coastal development permits
through its Local Coastal Program (LCP). The majority of Encinitas is located within the
California Coastal Zone; therefore, issues and policies related to the requirements of the
California Coastal Act are also included within the General Plan.
The City of Encinitas General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (GP /LCP)
currently addresses water quality and watershed protection. Included within the GP /LCP are a
number of proactive policies that pertain to water pollution and land -use decisions. An
assessment of the City of Encinitas GP /LCP was conducted to assess the City's consistency
with the watershed protection policies and principles found in the Municipal Permit. The
analysis found that the City of Encinitas GP /LCP goals and policies are consistent with the
Municipal Permit, and no amendments to the GP /LCP are required.
Many of the City of Encinitas General Plan and Local Coastal Program policies directly specify
preservation and acquisition of riparian corridors, wetlands, and buffer zones providing
important water quality benefits. They place limits on disturbances of natural bodies of water
and drainage systems caused by developments and even strive to avoid developments
susceptible to erosion and sediment loss. GP /LCP policy discourages the amount of impervious
surfaces in new development areas minimizing the transport of urban runoff and pollutants.
Appendix D provides a description of each of the City of Encinitas' General Plan and Local
Coastal Program policies that directly address the eight examples of water quality and
watershed protection principles and policies provided by Municipal Permit. The City of Encinitas
GP /LCP policies coincide with multiple water quality and protection principles. The breadth of
the City's General Plan polices is such that they cross reference each other and
comprehensively comply with the required Municipal Permit

City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
6.2 Development Project Approval Processes
The project review process provides an opportunity to implement long -term and permanent
storm water controls in new development and redevelopment. Historically, efforts have been
made to collect and transport storm water runoff off site as quickly as possible to reduce the
possible impact of flooding. This often included creating impervious surfaces and concrete
channels, which can increase the impacts of urban runoff. The project review process now
looks for ways to minimize impacts while providing for safety by encouraging and requiring
implementation of BMPs that can reduce urban runoff impacts.
Development projects in the City of Encinitas are subject to a rigorous review process. In
addition, the Coastal Development Permit process has also been implemented to ensure that
development within the coastal zone is performed in such a way to protect the coastal
environment. A permit application checklist is used by the Community Development
Department to assist applicants in preparing their permit applications. The checklist shows the
applicant which supporting documents or documentation is required for the review process.
This checklist is being modified to include SUSMP requirements.
Projects generally fall into the ministerial or discretionary category. The review process for each
category is described below.
6.2.1 Ministerial Projects
Ministerial projects are those that the City permits when they fall within the City's specific
guidelines and regulations. These include projects such as room additions, patio extensions, or
plumbing modification for which the guidelines and regulations are more easily interpreted and
specific. The ministerial project review process is coordinated through the Building Department
after building plans have been developed. These building plans are routed through all
applicable departments (generally the Building Department, Engineering Services, Community
Development, and the Fire Department). Any comments these departments have are passed
along to the applicant and the plans are revised as necessary, including any necessary
measures to ensure BMP's are implemented. When all comments have been adequately
addressed, a Building Permit is issued. The project is then moved to the inspection process to
ensure that the conditions of the project have been met.
6.2.2 Discretionary Projects
Discretionary projects require that discretionary decisions be made to ensure that a project
complies with the City's regulations. Discretionary projects generally include larger projects
such as residential developments, commercial or office buildings, subdivision, or construction of
infrastructure. The discretionary process is generally a more involved process and is
coordinated through the Community Development Department.
The first step for an applicant is to present his /her plans to the City in a Pre - Development
Conference which is attended by a representative of all applicable departments (generally the
Building, Engineering Services, Community Development, and Fire Department). The purpose
of the Pre - Development Conference is to raise any potential issues that may significantly affect
the project. It is at this point that the Engineering Department introduces the storm water
requirements associated with post - development ( SUSMP) and the construction process. The
specific project requirements are discussed below.
Land -Use Planning For New Development and Redevelopment Page 6 -2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
l' The applicant then officially submits plans for the discretionary permit (generally a Design
Review Permit, Use Permit, or Tentative Map/Tentative Parcel Map). As with ministerial
projects, plans are routed to all applicable departments for review. External reviews (Fish and
Game, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Corps of Engineers, etc.) are also required at this
time, as applicable. Again, the Engineering Services Department reviews the plans and
conditions the project including conditions relating to storm water management, if appropriate.
Comments are collected from all departments and a list of conditions is developed and reviewed
with the applicant. Once in agreement, the project plans are revised by the developer and
moved to the hearing process. Hearings may be required with the Planning Commission, City
Council, or in the form of an Administrative Hearing at the staff level to provide an independent
review of the project. At this point the project is approved or denied. If approved, the project
will proceed to the Plan Check process where documents are reviewed for compliance with City
ordinances and project conditions.
6.2.3 Specific Project Requirements
The Municipal Permit establishes six specific minimum requirements for development projects.
These requirements and how they are implemented in the City are discussed below.
(a) Source Control Best Management Practices (BMP's) are required for all development
requiring building and /or grading permits. Building and grading permits are reviewed for
illegal connections, and for measures to reduce the potential for pollutants to enter runoff
to the maximum extent practicable, and check that the development does not contribute
to the exceedance of water quality objectives. Specifically, these reviews ensure that
development plans include: 1) erosion control measures, 2) sediments control
measures, 3) material management and good housekeeping measures, and 4) post -
construction BMPs as required by the SUSMP.
Examples of City Code requirements, which facilitate BMP's, include:
• Chapter 64.08 of the Municipal Code (Storm Water Management), which requires the
implementation of construction and post- construction BMPs.
• Chapter 23.24 of the Municipal Code (Grading, Erosion and Sediment Control),
which requires erosion and sediment control practices be implemented during
grading and construction.
• Chapter 23.26 of the Municipal Code (Water Efficient Landscaping), which requires
landscaping of applicable projects to be certified by a landscape architect as being
sustainable at the yearly rainfall amount, thus minimizing irrigation and irrigation
runoff;
• Requirements in Title 30 of the Municipal Code that masonry trash enclosures be
provided for all multifamily residential and commercial development projects;
• Requirements that all outdoor material storage areas be designed in such a manner
as to prevent pollutant runoff.
Land -Use Planning For New Development and Redevelopment Page 6 -3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
(b) The City presently requires, and will continue to further require with implementation of
the Stormwater Ordinance, that project site design and landscape design maximize on-
site retention and filtration through use of naturally vegetated swales and /or detention
basins, and other natural means. Options involving structural subsurface detention and
filtration are only permitted when it is demonstrated that use of vegetated surface
treatment areas is not feasible. The City discourages project design elements that result
in excess, unnecessary impervious surfaces, such as surplus parking or excessive use
of hardscape (in place of landscaping).
(c) The City of Encinitas General Plan, Resource Management Policy 10.6 requires that a
minimum 50 -foot buffer be provided from any riparian wetland areas, and that a 100 -foot
buffer be provided from any salt water wetlands. That Policy further provides that "There
shall be no net loss of wetland acreage or resource value as a result of land use or
development, and the City's goal is to realize a net gain in acreage and value whenever
possible." These wetland buffer requirements are also set forth in Section 30.34.040 B
(3b) of the Municipal Code. Said Section provides that any encroachment into these
buffer areas shall only be allowed when it is specifically found, in consultation with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Army Corps of Engineers, that the encroachment
or mitigations will still achieve the purpose of the buffer. In any such instance, the "no
net loss" provision in Policy 10.6 of the Resource Management Element of the General
Plan still applies, requiring creation of an equal or greater amount of wetland on the
development site.
The City's Stormwater Ordinance requires that any development within 200 feet of the
areas defined as Federal Clean Water Quality Act Section 303(d) "Impaired Waters"
(San Elijo Lagoon, Batiquitos Lagoon, Pacific Ocean) be considered a high - priority
project and shall require structural post- construction BMP's with long -term maintenance
obligations.
(d) For all projects subject to the State General Industrial Permit, the City requires evidence
of coverage in the form of a copy of the Notice of Intent (NOI) filed with the State
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
(e) The City of Encinitas has revised its Stormwater Ordinance and updated its Grading
Ordinance that contain specific requirements to provide for storm water management
during all phases of construction from grading through project implementation. These
requirements address each of the Construction Component topics listed in Section F.2.
(a. —j.) of the Order. To ensure that these provisions are adhered to, all grading permits
undergo a plan checking process. The plan checking process specifically looks for
compliance with erosion and sediment control requirements of the Storm Water and
Grading Ordinances. In addition to reviewing plans for adequate erosion and sediment
control plans, general and specific notes are added to all grading plans to ensure
compliance with specific grading requirements, as well as compliance with the State
General Construction Permit, where applicable. These notes include:
"Development of this project shall comply with all requirements of State water Resources
Control board (SWRCB) Order No. 99 -08 -DWG (NPDES General Permit No. CAS000002),
Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharge of Storm Water Runoff Associated with

the commencement of grading activities and a complete Notice -of- Intent (NOI) will be filed with
the SWRCB. A copy of this project shall be filed with the City of Encinitas when received,
further, a copy of the completed NOI from the SWRCB showing the permit number for this
project shall be filed with the City of Encinitas when received.
In addition, the undersigned and subsequent owner(s) of any of the property covered by this
Grading permit No. -G, an by SWRCB Order No. 99 -08 -DWG, and any subsequent
amendments thereto, shall comply with special provision as set forth in Section C.7 of SWRCB
Order No. 99 -08 -DWG.

Date
(f) In the case of projects requiring structural post- construction BMP's, City approvals
require recordation of a covenant on the subject property to ensure proper long -term
maintenance of the Structural BMP's. Where applicable, City permits are also
conditioned to require bonding or other acceptable security be maintained on file with the
City to ensure such Maintenance.
6.3 Environmental Review Processes
The California Environmental Quality Act requires environmental review of discretionary
applications for development proposals. Environmental initial studies are conducted to
determine whether the project may cause a significant effect on the environment. This review
process will continue to evaluate a project's potential for significant effects on water quality. In
compliance with the Municipal Permit, additional questions have been provided in the initial
study checklist, a tool utilized to evaluate the environmental effects of a project. To further
evaluate potential water quality impacts of projects requiring discretionary review, the following
questions have been included as part of the initial study checklist:
Would the project.
■ Substantially conflict with city- adopted water quality standards or waste discharge
requirements?
Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including the
alteration of a stream or river course, in a manner which would result in substantial
erosion or siltation on- or offsite?
Land -Use Planning For New Development and Redevelopment Page 6 -5
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
• Result in a substantial degradation of receiving water quality during construction
activities?
• Propose a land use or an on -site activity that would substantially degrade receiving
water quality?
• Substantially increase any pollutant for which a tributary water body is listed on the
Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list?
• Substantially degrade surface water quality within wetland, fresh, marine, or recreational
waters?
■ Substantially degrade groundwater quality?
The environmental review process ensures that a project's effect on water quality is addressed
early in the planning process. If a project is determined to have a significant environmental
effect, then mitigation measures are required under CEQA to avoid or reduce the effect to below
a level of significance. The mitigation measures will normally take the form of adopted Best
Management Practices to be incorporated into project plans prior to discretionary approval.
6.4 Education Efforts Focused on New Development and Redevelopment
Educational efforts for the Land -Use Planning for New Development and Redevelopment
component include internal and external programs. Internally, the focus will be on providing
workshops and training sessions to educate staff regarding general storm water education,
storm water regulations and ordinances, and their responsibilities in implementing these
regulations. Particular attention will be paid to the implementation of the SUSMP requirements.
Initially, the program will consist of working with the Community Development Department and
Engineering Services Department to establish processes so that storm water control issues are
integrated into routine day -to -day activities. Staff responsible for development review will be
familiarized with both construction and post- construction BMP requirements. In addition, staff
that works directly with the public will be provided additional education regarding the overall
program and storm water requirements including general residential BMPs.
In addition to internal staff education, presentations will be made annually to the applicable
planning boards and City Council regarding the general storm water education (i.e. development
impacts to receiving water), storm water regulations, and how they are implemented in
Encinitas.
To educate externally, the City will host workshops for developers to inform them on the new
regulations and the SUSMP requirements. Printed material will also be developed and provided
to give guidance on BMPs and.their implementation. This printed material will be inserted in the
permit application package.

City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
7.0 CONSTRUCTION COMPONENT
The goal of this component of the program is to eliminate non -storm water discharges, and
reduce pollutants in storm water runoff from construction sites. Construction sites include any
site where an activity such as grading, excavation, clearing, road construction, structure
construction, or demolition results in the disturbance of soil. Construction site runoff is typically
laden with sediment from erosion, and can be contaminated with materials used on the
construction site (i.e., oil and grease). The City of Encinitas is approaching a built -out condition,
so that future, large construction projects will be relatively few. Construction activities as they
relate to storm water are overseen by the City's Engineering Services Department.
There are three main areas that must be controlled on a construction site; 1) erosion, 2)
sedimentation, and 3) non -storm water discharges (hazardous material). To meet the City's
requirements, the project proponent must implement an effective combination of erosion,
sediment, and materials handling BMPs.
Because they are often misunderstood, it is important to understand the difference between
erosion control and sediment control.
Erosion Control is any practice that protects the soil surface and prevents the soil particles
from being detached by rainfall or wind. Erosion control, therefore, is a source control that
treats the soil as a resource that has value and should be kept in place.
Sediment Control is any practice that traps the soil particles after they have been detached
and moved by wind or water. Sediment control measures are usually passive systems that rely
on filtering or settling the particles out of the water or wind that is transporting them. Sediment
control treats the soil as a waste product that must be removed from where it has been
transported and accumulated and disposed of at another location.
7.1 Pollution Prevention
Municipal Ordinance, Chapter 64.08, Storm Water Management, requires that any person
performing construction work in the City of Encinitas shall prevent, to the maximum extent
practicable, pollutants from entering the storm water conveyance system by complying with
applicable local ordinances, the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, and
applicable provisions of the General Construction Activity Storm Water NPDES Permit issued by
the State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB). The SWRCB General Construction
Activity Storm Water NPDES Permit requires the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan ( SWPPP), and monitoring of water quality of runoff from construction sites over
5 acres. The SWPPP outlines the pollution prevention activities that will be employed at the
construction site to eliminate or reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, pollutant discharges
to the storm water conveyance system.
In addition, Municipal Ordinance, Chapter 23.24, Grading, Erosion, and Sediment Control,
requires the preparation and implementation of an erosion control program for all construction
sites. This program is designed to prevent pollutants from entering the City's waterways. The
erosion control program requires developers to prepare and implement an Interim Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan that outlines surface runoff and erosion control measures to be
Construction Component Page 7 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
implemented during land- disturbing or filling activities, or soil storage. These control measures
include sediment detention basins and traps, the application of mulches storm water diverlers,
dikes and drains, and vegetation plans. A Final Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is required
to address runoff after final structures and improvements have been completed. Examples of
final control measures include Sediment retention devices, erosion control devices, and
vegetative measures.
7.2 Grading Ordinance
The City's grading ordinance, Municipal Ordinance, Chapter 23.24, Grading, Erosion, and
Sediment Control, has been reviewed for compliance with City's storm water ordinances, and
the Permit. The grading ordinance was found to be quite stringent in the general areas of
erosion control and sediments control; however, a few of the specific requirements of the
Municipal Permit were not addressed directly. These specific requirements pertained to phased
grading, revegetation as soon as feasible, and maintenance of source and structural treatment
BMPs. The grading ordinance has been modified to incorporate these requirements, as well as
reinforce other requirements that were not as directly addressed as the city would like. A copy
of the revised grading ordinance can be found in Appendix F.
In addition to modifications to the grading ordinance, the city has also revised it's storm water
ordinance (Chapter 64.08, Storm Water Management). The modifications to the storm water
ordinance are significant. The ordinance now contains up -to -date definitions, it establishes the
minimum BMPs of all activities, it establishes a well defined program for prioritizing construction
sites, as well as existing development, it establishes the BMP Manual as the document that
identifies the required BMPs for sites of the different levels of threat (high, medium and low),
and enforcement tools are tightened and better defined. A copy of the new storm water
ordinance can be found in Appendix F.
7.3 Construction and Grading Approval Process
When a construction project comes to the City for approval, it is required to either obtain a
building permit or a grading permit. A grading permit is required prior to any activity where the
total volume of material disturbed, stored, disposed or used as fill exceeds 50 cubic yards,
obstructs a waterway, of occurs over an area of 10,000 square feet. All other projects required
building permit. Both permits require that plans be submitted and approved by the City. The
City's grading ordinance requires that all projects whether subject to a grading plan or not, are
required to minimize site runoff, erosion and sedimentation. In addition, all projects requiring a
grading permit, prepare an erosion and sediment control plan.
The grading permit outlines the regulatory (Federal, State, and City) conditions for new
construction. The grading permit requires that grading plans be prepared, reviewed, approved,
and signed by the City Engineer. As a part of this approval process, the City's storm water staff
also reviews the grading plans to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
The grading plan approval process consists of a series of plan checks, revisions, and final
approvals. Plans are checked by both the Engineering and Storm Water staff. Engineering
staff reviews the plans for overall compliance with the grading ordinance. Storm Water staff
check the plans for specific compliance with the Storm Water Management Ordinance and
Construction Component Page 7 -2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management P
Federal and State regulations. If the site falls under jurisdiction of the State General
Construction Permit, staff follows up with the developer to ensure that a SWPPP is prepared. In
addition, the SWPPP is reviewed and approved by the City's storm water staff prior to final
approval of the project grading plans.
7.4 Source Identification
A watershed -based inventory has been developed of all construction sites within city's
jurisdiction. The inventory can be linked to the City's GIS and is an Excel spreadsheet database
maintained by the Engineering staff. The overall inventory of all construction sites was
developed from data used by the City's inspection process, and from our Building Permit
database. Because all grading projects in Encinitas are inspected by municipal staff, the most
up -to -date and accurate database was obtained from the inspectors. For building projects, the
City's HTE Building Permit database was the most accurate form of inventory. Data was also
obtained from the California General Permit database available on the internet.
Once in the database, the data was transferred into the GIS, and using the assessor's parcel
number (APN), the appropriate watershed was assigned to each site. A copy of the watershed -
based constriction site inventory can be found in Appendix C. The inventory database is
updated on a continual basis and the GIS is updated annually just prior to the rainy season.
This inventory will be presented annually in the City's Storm Water Annual Report.
7.5 Threat to Water Quality Prioritization
Initially, prioritization was determined for all active sites based on a review of the parameter
outlined in the Municipal Permit:
• Soil erosion potential
• Steep slopes present
• Size of project poses threat
• Type of project poses threat
• Sensitivity of receiving water bodies
• Proximity to receiving water bodies
• Threat from non -storm water discharges
• Site identified as "polluted" in CEQA process
• If site is over 50 acres
• If site is over 5 acres and tributary to an impaired water body or environmentally
sensitive area
• Site history
Based on a field review of these parameters, sites were placed in the high, medium or low
category. High priority sites were identified based on a review of the above - mentioned
parameters and a site visit by the site inspector and storm water staff. Medium priority sites
were those that were large enough to require a grading permit, yet not classified as high priority.
Low priority sites were identified as those that were of the nature and small enough to require
only a building permit. Many of the "single family dwelling" sites on the low priority building
permit list are part of a larger development that is classified as a medium or high priority site.
Construction Component Page 7 -3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
This would be the case when a developer tenant improvement (infrastructure) for a project and
then sells off individual sites for home construction.
For future projects, during the grading plan review process, each construction site will be
evaluated for its potential threat to water quality. A checklist will be filled out that allows for a
straightforward determination of the threat to water quality from the site. Based on the "score"
from the checklist, the site will be categorized into high, medium or low threat to water quality.
This prioritization will be used to identify the minimum BMPs to be required on the project.
7.6 BMP Implementation
Based on the ranking of the site from above, required BMPs have been established for each
construction site category. If particular minimum BMPs are infeasible at any specific site, the
City will require the implementation of other equivalent BMPs. The City will also require
additional site specific BMPs as necessary to comply with the Municipal Permit, including BMPs
which are more stringent than those required under the State General Construction Permit.
BMPs for construction sites fall into three primary categories; 1) erosion control, 2) sediment
control, and 3) non -storm water discharges (including materials handling). Following are the
requirements based on the site's rank:
Project Rank
Required BMPs)
All Projects
Erosion and sedimentation must be controlled.
Non -storm water discharge prohibitions.
Low
Erosion and sedimentation must be controlled.
Non -storm water discharge prohibitions.
Medium
Erosion and sedimentation plans are required using approved BMPs
Non -storm water discharge prohibitions.

Site specific BMPs to:
High
1) remove pollutants from the site discharge, and
2) maintain or reduce the peak flow form the construction site during a
rain event.
3) BMPs outlined in the project SWPPP, if applicable
7.7 Inspection of Construction Sites
All construction sites in the City of Encinitas are inspected by City building or construction
inspectors. Sites are inspected to ensure compliance with the City's Grading, and Storm Water
Ordinance, as well as any specific conditions outlined on the construction drawings, permits, or
Special Conditions. Construction sites are inspected regularly, based on a schedule outlined by
the inspectors commensurate with the site activities and priority. For storm water inspections, a
Construction Site Storm Water Inspection Form is used to determine if the site is in compliance
with applicable regulations. It is also used to determine the severity of each case. A copy of the
construction inspection form is presented in Appendix A.
Construction Component Page 7 -4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
The frequency of inspections varies with the potential threat to water quality that each site
presents. At a minimum, high priority sites are inspected weekly during rainy season (Oct. 1 —
April 30). Medium priority sites are inspected at least twice during wet season, and as needed
during dry season. Low priority sites will be visited on an as- needed basis, based on the type of
project and activities on -going at the site. However, more frequent inspections are performed
for any site at the discretion of the City's storm water compliance officer based on the potential
risks at.the site and weather conditions.
7.8 Enforcement of Construction Sites
Enforcement Procedures - The City has a multi -level enforcement procedure.
Enforcement activities are carried out by its POST' certified Environmental Health
Officer and Storm water Staff. The severity of each case, and thus, the level of
enforcement, is based on the following criteria:
Level One Enforcement - Staff maintains a high level of presence in the location or a
suspected violation. By visiting the site numerous times, staff has the opportunity to
gather information, take photographs, and perform informal education and inspections.
Level Two Enforcement - This level of enforcement occurs when staff determines that
a violation has or is occurring. Staff writes a formal Notice of Violation /Correct Work
Order. A sample of this notice is provided in Appendix B. The notice indicates the
nature of the violation, the required abatement procedure and a deadline to comply with
the notice. The inspector notifies the owner, developer or contractor of the violation.
Documentation of the violation and the notification to the project supervisor is placed in
the inspection file. A specific time frame for correcting the problem and a follow -up
inspection date should be documented by the inspector. In judging the degree of
severity, the inspector may also take into account any history of similar or repeated
violations by the same developer or contractor at this or other sites.
Level Three Enforcement - In the event that a Level Two Enforcement action does not
gain adequate abatement of a Notice of Violation, staff drafts a formal correspondence
requested immediate abatement and compliance with the application of Municipal Code
section(s). This notice is in the form of a Final Notice of Violation /Stop Work Order. The
stop work order describes the infraction and specifies the corrective action that must be
taken. A copy of the stop work order is given to the owner, developer or contractor and
placed in the inspection file. To restart work once a stop work order has been issued, the
private contractor's project supervisor must request the inspector to re- inspect the
project and verify that the deficiencies have been satisfactorily corrected. If the inspector
is satisfied with the corrections, the inspector may sign off on that phase of the project,
and work may proceed.
Level Four Enforcement (Criminal Infraction) - Dischargers who do not abate as
requested in a Final Notice of Violation /Stop Work Order receive a citation, court
appearance, and some form of community reparation (i.e. fine and /or community
service). In addition, the contractor's Erosion Control Bond /deposit will be used by the
City to implement the erosion control plan.
' POST certification pursuant to Section 832(a) of the California Penal code.
Construction Component Page 7 -5
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Level Five Enforcement (Formal Civil of Criminal Prosecution) - For dischargers who
chronically ignore, verbal, and formal written requests, and continue to violate discharge
regulations after being issued a citation (under the State Porter Cologne Water Quality
Act or the Federal Clean Water Act and /or local ordinances), storm water staff utilizes
the assistance of the City attorney for prosecution. As a final resort, the Copermittee
may use Civil and or Criminal court actions, which may result in significant fines levied
upon the non - compliant responsible parties.
7.9 Reporting of Non - Compliance Sites
When a construction site has been determined to be non - compliant and that the non - compliant
actions pose a threat to human or environmental health within the City, the SDRWQCB will be
notified verbally within 24 hours of the determination by city staff. This verbal notification will be
followed up with a written report within five days of the determination.
7.10 Education Focused on Construction Activities
The educational program of the construction component consists of internal and external
instruction. Internal instruction is conducted for municipal staff that interact in the construction
process. This staff is primarily in the Engineering Services Department, and includes engineers,
plan checkers, and inspectors (building and grading). Storm water staff conducts an annual
seminar for these staff members. The content of the seminars includes:
• Review of applicable regulations including federal, state, and local, and those
specially included in the Permit.
• Discussion of the need and importance of protecting public waterways.
• Instruction on erosion control; sources and prevention.
• Presentation of the storm water aspects of the grading plan review process. This
includes a review of the required notes and special provisions to be included on all
construction plans, and the Construction Site Water Quality Threat Checklist.
• Presentation of the construction site inspection process as it relates to storm water
discharges. This includes a review of the Storm Water Construction Inspection
Form.
• Review of the enforcement policy for non compliant construction sites.
Storm water education for external construction activities consists of presentation of educational
materials to potential developers when applications for building and grading permits are pulled
for projects. This material consists of an educational flyer containing information about storm
water regulations, the City's Storm Water Program, and compliance requirements for
construction sites. The flyer also provides a list of contacts regarding storm water issues. A
copy of the flyer is presented in Appendix E. This flyer is also presented to applicable personnel
(i.e. construction superintendents) at construction sites during storm water inspections.
In addition, a pre- construction meeting is required to be conducted for each construction project
within the City. Storm water educational material is disseminated at these meetings, as well as
a discussion of the project expectations with respect to storm water pollution prevention and
control. This discussion outlines the inspection and enforcement program that can be expected
during the duration of the project.

Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Finally, the City notifies all developers with grading permit projects that they must secure their
erosion and sediment control BMPs prior to the rainy season. This "rainy season letter"
generally goes out in September of each year. It puts the contractors on notice that the City will
begin more intensive inspections of the project erosion and sediment control measures.

Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
8.0 ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
The Municipal Permit requires the establishment of an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Program to actively seek and eliminate illicit connections and illegal discharges (IC /ID). An illicit
discharge is a point source discharge of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer
system (MS4), which is not comprised entirely of storm water, not exempted by the City's Storm
Water Ordinance, or not authorized by an NPDES permit. Examples of illicit discharges are
wash water, sediment, spilled chemicals, and other pollutants allowed to enter the MS4, either
intentionally or unintentionally; all contribute to the degradation of local water quality. An illicit
connection is a discharge from the sanitary sewer system that can allow pathogens, ammonia,
detergents, and other contaminants to enter surface water.
This component describes the IC /ID program developed by the City to seek and eliminate illicit
connections and illegal discharges. It also addresses several issues relating to managing the
sanitary sewer system to reduce the possibility of sewage infiltration into the MS4 and respond
to sewage spills that could enter the MS4. The backbone of this program is the establishment
of discharge prohibitions into the MS4 through the municipal code. Then when an illicit
discharge is reported or detected through dry weather monitoring, the City must investigate,
inspect, and follow up on the discharge. All illicit discharges must be eliminated by enforcing
local storm water ordinances or other legal authority. This program involves municipal Storm
Water Program staff, the Sanitary District, Hazmat, Fire Department, and Public Works, as well
as citizens. The City will train and organize their current staff to detect and report illicit
discharges. The City has established a public hotline to facilitate public reporting of illicit
discharges.
8.1 Illicit Discharges and Connections Identification
8.1.1 Discharge Prohibitions
The City of Encinitas has updated it Storm Water Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 64.08) to
incorporate the requirements of the Municipal Permit. The non -storm water prohibitions were
examined during this ordinance update. It was determined, that the following discharges are
exempt:
a. Diverted stream flows;
b. Rising ground waters;
c. Uncontaminated ground water infiltration to MS4
d. Uncontaminated pumped ground water;
e. Foundation drains;
f. Springs;
g. Water from crawls space pumps;
h. Footing drains;
i. Air conditioning condensation;
j. Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands;
k. Water line flushing;
I. Landscape irrigation;
m. Discharge from potable water sources other that water main breaks;
n. Irrigation water;
o. Lawn watering;
p. Individual residential car washing; and
Illicit Discharge Detection And Elimination Component Page 8 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
When, on an individual basis, these discharges are determined to be a significant source of
pollutants to waters of the United States, the City will prohibit their discharge or require BMPs to
be implemented when the discharges occur. This may be the case for specific drainage basins.
8.1.2 Illicit Discharge Source Identification
Based on experience in the City of Encinitas, the primary causes of illicit discharges are
business owners discharging wash water for various reasons, from cleaning floors and mats to
cleaning vehicles; residents (or activities within residential areas), including discharge of wash
water from painting or cleaning activities, and construction site discharges. Illicit discharges are
detected primarily by four methods: 1) dry weather analysis, 2) citizen complaints, 3) business
inspections, and 4) visual screening /observation. The City's approach to these four methods is
discussed below.
Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring — Analytical data from the dry weather screening program
is used to locate areas of suspected illicit discharges. Knowing the possible sources of a
constituent that occurs at elevated levels helps directs staff to investigate specific areas for illicit
discharges. A detailed description of the dry weather analytical monitoring is provided below in
Section 8.2
Complaints and Referrals - Public participation is an essential part of an illicit discharge
identification process. Many illicit discharges are one -time occurrences that may not be
observed by City staff. Concerned citizens help stop illicit discharges by reporting them. The
City of Encinitas has an active citizen complaint program. Complaints are directed to the City's
Storm Water Hotline which is managed by the storm water staff. In addition, the County has
established a staffed bilingual hotline that can receive calls 24 hours a day from any citizen
within San Diego County. Complaints are referred to the appropriate municipality.
Education is also an important part of this component in two ways. First, in order for citizens to
help stop illicit discharges, they need to be educated in non -point source water pollution and
have a mechanism to report'what they see to the copermittee. A program that educates the
public about non -point source pollution is discussed in the education and public participation
components of this JURMP. This program includes outreach to schools, citizen groups, and the
general public through the media. Second, by responding to and conversing with
complainants, the City has an ideal opportunity for one -on -one education about storm water
issues. The City strives to increase caller's knowledge of storm water issues and regulations,
and to encourage them to continue to report illicit discharges.
The City also receives referrals regarding illicit discharges from staff within other departments
and outside agencies (Department of Environmental Health, RWQCB, HazMat, etc.). These
referrals are treated in the same manner as complaints described above.
Business Inspections — Storm Water staff performs inspections of high priority commercial
facilities on an annual and as- needed basis for problem areas. Evidence of illicit discharges is
occasionally observed. If evidence is observed, business owners are educated and inspection
frequencies are increased.
Visual Screening - The City staff (Engineering Services and Public Works) conducts routine
visual screening of the MS4 on foot and in vehicles. The sectors to be screened are prioritized
by staff based on areas where illicit discharges have historically occurred and in areas that have
Illicit Discharge Detection And Elimination Component Page 8 -2
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
been prioritized as high threat to water quality throughout this JURMP (i.e., construction sites,
commercial areas, residential area adjacent to sensitive areas).
When a discharge is discovered, personnel will proceed with investigation /inspection and follow -
up as presented below. The incident is logged into the IC /ID database. The IC /ID database
contains information regarding the date, time, location, method of identification, and description
of incident.
8.2 Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring
The primary objective of the dry weather analytical monitoring is to detect and eliminate illicit
discharges and illegal connections to the MS4. To -date, the City of Encinitas has actively
pursued dry weather field screening at thirty locations in an attempt to detect possible illicit
discharges. Based on the requirements of the February, 2001 Municipal Permit, the number of
sites has been increased to 46. The City's Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring Program consists
of a sampling program, analytical monitoring, data analysis, source identification investigations,
and reporting. The following description of the City's program is organized by the required tasks
outlined in the Municipal Permit.
8.2.1 Develop MS4 Map
A storm drain map has been developed by the City in a geographical information system (GIS).
The storm drain GIS is constructed in an Arclnfo platform and integrated into the City -wide GIS
maintained in the Information Technology Division. The storm drain layer contains pipelines
and structures (inlets, outlets, catch basins, and maintenance holes). Data included in the GIS
includes the location, size, age, material, and other information pertinent to the particular
structure. The map is continually updated as new drainage segments are added and additional
information is gained about the system. A copy of the MS4 map can be found in Appendix H.
8.2.2 Select Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring Stations
The goal of selection process for the dry weather monitoring sites is to adequately characterize
the dry weather flows to gain an understanding of the water quality in Encinitas.
Characterization of the water quality also allows for identification and tracking of exceedances
and illicit discharges. The sites selected represent the outfalls that characterize dry weather
flows throughout the City. Efforts were made to cover the entire jurisdiction and isolate
particular land use types, areas of particular interest (i.e., areas with historical illicit discharges
or in environmentally sensitive areas). The sites were selected using the following process:
1. Storm Drain maps — Storm drain maps, developed in the City's GIS, were initially
reviewed to identify storm drain system.
2. Land Use and Drainage Basins Maps — In the GIS, land use polygons, drainage basins
and topographic lines were overlaid on the storm drain map to characterize the tributary
areas of the sampling locations. Particular areas were isolated to assist in
characterization of flows from specific land uses.
3. Historical Information — Historical information, including past sampling data, illicit
discharge investigations and complaints, was considered to locate sites in areas where
illicit discharges are suspected.
4. Sensitive Areas — Sites were selected to characterize flow into sensitive areas, including
San Elijo lagoon, Batiquitos Lagoon and Cottonwood Creek.
Illicit Discharge Detection And Elimination Component Page 8 -3
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
5. Hydrologic Considerations — The magnitude of flow within storm drains was considered.
More sampling locations were selected in areas of higher flow than areas of no flow
6. Accessibility and Safety — A site reconnaissance was performed to determine the
accessibility and feasibility of the sampling location. When a site was determined to be
inaccessible, a new site was located in a more accessible location. Accessibility and
safety considerations include areas where there are steep and/ or slippery slopes, swift
water, or confined spaces. Other areas are simply inaccessible because of a lack of
maintenance holes (manholes).
8.2.3 Complete MS4 Map
A map showing the selected dry weather analytical monitoring stations overlain on the storm
drain map is contained in Appendix H.
8.2.4 Develop Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring Procedures
It is important that all Co- permittees regulated under the Municipal Permit use consistent
methods and procedures 'for collecting water quality data. The City's program has been
modeled after the program developed on a county -wide basis. The elements of the Dry
Weather Analytical Monitoring program include f sampling locations, sampling frequencies,
dfield screening and sampling procedures, (including monitoring parameters), recommended
action levels and data interpretation, follow -up investigations, and reporting. These procedures
are discussed below.
Sampling Frequency - Dry weather monitoring will be conducted at each monitoring station at
least once during the period May 1 - September 30. Additional sampling will be conducted as
necessary for follow -up investigations to detect and eliminate illicit discharges and connections
illegal. Dry weather monitoring should not be conducted within 72 hours of the end of any rain
event or if local hydrologic conditions indicate that storm flow is still occurring at a site after a
rain event.
Field Screening and Sampling Procedures - For consistency purposes, sampling will be
conducted in accordance with the guidance developed by the Co- permittees. A copy of the
guidance document is provided in Appendix H. Field screening consists of a series of
qualitative field observations, flow measurement, and field analyses of selected water quality
parameters. Information relating to weather conditions, the amount of time since last rainfall/
storm discharge, and type of stormwater conveyance should also be recorded. The specific
observations and results of the field water quality analyses are recorded on a standard field data
sheet. Figure 1 is an example of a field data sheet that may be used by Copermittees to record
field screening information. The data sheet will also serve as a record of the field visit and must
be completed for every site visit, regardless of whether or not flow was present and samples
were collected. The data sheet can also be used to record the results of the laboratory
analytical monitoring and should be submitted to the SDRWQCB as part of the dry weather
monitoring report for the jurisdiction.
Following are the activities performed during the field screening process.
1. Qualitative Observations - Qualitative field observations are made during each site visit
whether or not ponded or flowing water is observed. These observations are intended to
provide a general assessment of the site and include variables like odor, water clarity,
the presence of floatables, visible deposits/ stains, and biological status. Evidence of
Illicit Discharge Detection And Elimination Component Page 8 -4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
present or past illicit discharges and illegal connections to the MS4 can often be
ascertained by careful field observations. Each field screening location is photographed
to provide additional information and documentation of site conditions.
2. Flow measurement - Flow measurements or estimates are made during each dry
weather monitoring site visit. Flow measurements can be used to estimate pollutant
mass loading, prioritize storm drains for future investigation, or to identify significant
changes in discharge that may be indicative of an illegal release upstream. Flow
measurement can be very difficult if the flow is shallow. Shallow flow makes it difficult to
measure either depth or velocity. In addition, for very low flow in a large diameter pipe,
the flow estimation methods breakdown. In this case, the flow will be estimated using
velocity and area of flow as best possible.
3. Field water quality analyses - At each site with ponded or flowing water, grab samples
should be collected and field analyzed for the following constituents:
• Specific conductance
• Temperature
• pH
• Turbidity
• Nitrate -N
• Ammonia -N
• Reactive Phosphorus (Ortho -P)
Dry weather field screening samples are measured with a suitable combination of field
meters, test strips, colorimetric, and spectrophotometric test methods. Field personnel
are trained to achieve consistent, accurate results from the observational, flow
estimation, and field analytical monitoring components. Field instruments are calibrated
daily and the viability of test kit reagents are checked regularly. Periodically, sample
splits are sent to the laboratory for analysis of the above constituents in order to assess
the accuracy of their field testing methods. Duplicate samples may be analyzed in the
field to assess precision. Collected data is recorded on the Dry Weather Storm Drain
monitoring Data and Observation Sheet.
4. Laboratory Analytical Monitoring - At a minimum, 25% of the sites where ponded or
flowing water is observed, grab samples are collected and submitted for analysis to a
laboratories certified by the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP)
Division of the California Department of Health Services (currently, the City uses the
Encina Wastewater Treatment Facility laboratory). Only EPA - approved methods may be
used to analyze the samples. Samples are tested for the following constituents:
• Total Hardness
• Surfactants (MBAS)
• Oil and Grease
• Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos
• Dissolved Cadmium, Copper, Lead, and Zinc
• Enterococcus, Total Coliform, and Fecal Coliform Bacteria
A summary of laboratory sampling and analytical requirements for a range of water
quality parameters is provided in Table 8 -1. Field personnel must also follow strict
sampling and chain -of- custody protocols when conducting dry weather analytical
Illicit Discharge Detection And Elimination Component Page 8 -5
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
monitoring. Proper chain -of- custody records provide critical documentation in
enforcement cases involving illegal discharges.
The sampling stations selected for laboratory sampling correspond to locations with the
highest probability of illicit discharges
Recommended Action Levels and Data Interpretation — An action level is a specific pollutant
concentration that will trigger a source identification investigation when it is exceeded during dry
weather monitoring. The development of effective action levels requires knowledge of
background pollutant levels and relevant water quality criteria. Unfortunately, background levels
for many of the field screening and laboratory parameters in San Diego County are not known at
the present time, although Encinitas does have a few years of dry weather data. For this
reason, the Copermittee Monitoring Workgroup has developed two primary approaches and one
secondary approach to assist the Copermittees in interpreting their dry weather field screening
and analytical monitoring data. The primary approaches are (1) the use of numeric action
levels, and (2) the identification of highly elevated analyte concentrations using a simple
statistical method to calculate confidence intervals. The secondary approach involves the use
of best professional judgment when interpreting all dry weather water quality data and /or field
observations. The secondary approach should always be used in conjunction with the two
primary approaches listed above and is the primary approach for interpreting turbidity and
temperature data. All three approaches are described in detail below.
Numeric action levels - The use of numeric action levels is the primary approach for
interpreting pH, orthophosphate, nitrate, ammonia, conductivity, MBAS, and oil and
grease data results (Table 2). If these action levels are exceeded, then a source
identification investigation to determine the cause of the elevated levels is necessary
unless best professional judgment indicates otherwise.
2. Statistical confidence interval - The identification of highly elevated concentrations using
confidence intervals is the primary approach for interpreting diazinon, chlorpyrifos,
dissolved trace metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn), total and fecal coliform bacteria, and
enterococcus data. A running 90% confidence interval as dry weather results are
collected is calculated. If a reading exceeds the calculated confidence interval and a
pre - established water quality criterion (see Table 8 -2) then that result is considered a
statistical outlier, The sampling site is then a candidate for source identification
investigation unless best professional judgment indicates otherwise.
As the 2002 dry weather samples are collected for all Copermittees, a substantial
amount of water quality data for the above - listed parameters will be compiled. This data
should allow the determination of regional, jurisdictional - specific, or conveyance - specific
background levels for the 2003 dry weather season for many or all of the parameters.
The various action levels and the usefulness of identifying outlier values with confidence
intervals will be re- evaluated after the 2002 dry weather season.

3. Best professional judgment - The use of best professional judgment is the primary
approach for interpreting turbidity and water temperature data, and the secondary
approach for interpreting the results of all other field and laboratory analyses. The use of
best professional judgment may indicate that results, which either exceed certain action
levels or are statistical outliers, may be the result of natural or background factors. For
example, conditions such as highly elevated summertime water temperatures in
exposed concrete conveyances, high ambient pH ( >9.0) levels due to photosynthesis
and CO2 depletion, or elevated NO3 or electrical conductivity readings in channels with
high groundwater input are unrelated to illicit discharges and illegal connections.
Other relevant factors that are considered include the type of MS4 conveyance (i.e.
storm drain, open concrete channel, natural channel, receiving water, etc.), the status of
downstream receiving waters, and weather conditions when the samples /measurements
were collected. Conversely, qualitative observations (dead animals, strong odors, the
presence of an oily sheen on the water surface, excessive floatables or trash, etc.) may
indicate that serious water quality problems are present at a location when field and
analytical sampling results are either within action or confidence limits or not immediately
available.
When the results of field screening or laboratory analytical sampling exceed the action
levels or guidelines presented in Table 2, the results are initially confirmed by
resampling. In the case of a field analytical result, usually the resample should be
collected within 24 hours after the initial sample. If the follow up results confirm the
presence of elevated pollutant levels then field personnel either initiate source
identification investigation. If visual and/ or analytical evidence of gross contamination is
present at a site (e.g. substantial petroleum sheen, extremely high ammonia
concentration, evidence of a sewage release) then an immediate source identification
investigation is warranted.
When a laboratory sample exceeds the action level guidelines in Table 2, a source
identification investigation should be initiated as soon as possible after receiving the
initial result. However resampling should also be performed to confirm the initial
laboratory results. In order to expedite the progress of source identification studies, field
test kits may be used even if a laboratory analyzed the initial sample (e.g. copper,
M BAS).

should be interpreted using a variety of available information. Factors that should be considered include within -site and between -site
sample variability.

Illicit Discharge Detection And Elimination Component Page 8 -9
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Reporting of Dry Weather Monitoring Results — Two types of reporting are required for the
dry weather monitoring results; annual reporting of results, and reporting to the RWQCB when
events of non - compliance are discovered.
Dry weather analytical monitoring and field screening may indicate an illicit discharge. If, upon
investigation, a release is found to be a significant threat to human or environmental health, the
discharge will be reported to the SDRWQCB as per Attachment C, Section B.6, of the Municipal
Permit. Oral notification will be made within 24 hours followed by a written description of the
incident within 5 days.
Dry weather analytical monitoring results will be submitted to the SDRWQCB as part of the
Jurisdictional URMP Annual Report on January 31, 2003 and every year thereafter. The
monitoring results will consist of field screening results and observations, as well as laboratory
analytical data.
The field screening results will be recorded on the field screening data and observation sheets
and entered into a monitoring database. A spreadsheet of the field results will be maintained in
the monitoring database, allowing for generation of tables and graphs. Laboratory data
generated by the dry weather monitoring will be entered into the database, as well. Data will be
reported in tabular format directly from the spreadsheet. Data will also be interpreted
graphically to show comparisons between sampling points as well as trends at specific points
over time. The trend analysis will be possible due to the previous dry weather monitoring efforts
of the City. The monitoring database will be linked to other databases, such as a source
database and a GIS database, allowing for further interpretation of the data. The field screening
and observation sheets, and the laboratory data will be supplemented by bar graphs and charts,
to be included in the submittal to the SDRWQCB in the annual report.
8.3 Investigation /Inspection and Follow -Up
There are several actions that will trigger an investigation and follow -up of a suspected illegal
discharge. They include dry weather field monitoring, complaints or direct observation, and
sewage spill reports. The City's program to deal with these occurrences is described below.
Staff who are to perform illicit discharge investigations receive training in the following areas:
• Storm water pollutants of concern and exempted discharges.
• BMP training
• Regulatory framework training
• Investigation and enforcement procedure training
• Report writing and documentation
• Equipment usage
• Health and Safety training to include identification of hazardous materials, protective
equipment, field safety (heat, sun, dogs, ticks, etc.)
• Sampling procedures and analytical methods
• Dealing with irate people
• Maintenance hole cover removal
• Confined space awareness
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -10
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Dry Weather Field Monitoring. When the specified action levels of pollutants are exceeded
during dry weather monitoring, in accordance with procedures provided above, an investigation
into the pollutant source begins. This begins with a field investigation to identify the source.
The potential sources of the pollutant in the watershed are initially identified and any available
information, such as land use data, inspection records, and previous complaints or
investigations, are utilized to help prioritize the list of potential dischargers. A drive -by
inspection is conducted of the prioritized potential dischargers. If a discharge is seen during a
drive by, an investigation of that facility begins immediately. If no discharges are seen, then
sites visits of the potential discharges are conducted, beginning with the sites with higher
priority. When an illegal discharge activity is located at a facility or activity, enforcement action
will be initiated. Enforcement action is described in Section 8.5.
Complaints or Direct Observation. When a complaint is registered with the storm water
hotline or when staff directly observes an illicit discharge an investigation will occur. The
investigation /inspection establishes as much data as possible regarding how, when, why,
where, and what has been discharged. Identification of the volume and potential for harm to the
environment is also assessed. An inspection report is filed and appropriate action is taken.
This action may include stopping the discharge, educating the discharger, enforcing the
discharge prohibitions, and /or cleanup activities by the City or responsible party.
Once an inspection report has been filed, staff will conduct follow -up actions to assure that the
illicit discharge ended. If appropriate, the illicit discharge is reported to other applicable
agencies.
Sewage Spill Reports. Reported "sewage spills" may or may not actually be sewage. All
reports are investigated to determine the source of the flow. All investigations are conducted
with notification of local wastewater collection staff from either LCWD or ESD /CSD. Frequently,
sewage spills will be obvious because of the source, odor and visible solids. Physical
observation and tracing a sewage flow to its source generally identifies most sewage spills
during dry weather. In addition to observations, the following methods can be used to identify a
flow as sewage:
• Field screening for ammonia. Sewage frequently contains elevated ammonia levels, 30
ppm or greater. Ammonia levels can be checked with an inexpensive field screening kit.
• Bacteria testing. Sewage will be high in total and fecal coliforms and enterococci.
• Closed circuit television. Lines came be remotely monitored for breaks and leaks.
• Dye testing. Septic systems are frequently dyed to show that they are the source of an
above ground sewage release. This same technique can be applied to leaking
wastewater collection systems.
• Flow monitoring.
When a sewage spill occurs, the appropriate agency is notified and required to control or limit
the volume of sewage discharged, stop the discharge as rapidly as possible, and recover as
much of the sewage spill as possible for proper disposal including any wash down water.
Regional Board Order 96 -04 establishes minimum standards for agencies responding to
sewage releases. The agency is requested to implement all remedial actions to the extent that
they are applicable to the discharge including the following:
• Interception and rerouting of sewage flows around the sewage line failure;
• Vacuum truck recovery of sanitary sewer overflows and wash down water;
!!licit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -11
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
• Use of portable aerators where complete recovery of the sanitary sewer overflows is not
practicable and where severe oxygen depletion in existing surface waters is expected;
and
• Cleanup of debris of sewage origin and contaminated debris at the overflow site.
Reporting requirements for sewage spills are discussed in Section 8.7.
Hazardous Materials Incidents
Any hazardous material spill will set in motion an immediate response from three departments:
• Fire Department
• Public Works Department
• Engineering Department - Storm Water Division
The Fire Department will usually receive the initial call. Each engine company is equipped with
containment booms, absorbent material, shovels, storm drain covers and disposal equipment.
Upon the initial response the Fire Department will be the first responder to contain the site. The
Fire Department will notify the Public Works Department and the Storm Water Division if it
appears likely the hazardous waste may enter the storm drain system.
The Public Works Department will respond immediately with the vacuum truck, sandbags,
absorbent materials and increased manpower.
The Storm Water staff will provide the maps and locate the extent of contamination in the storm
drain system. Samples and pictures will be taken with potential cost recovery from the
responsible party.
The following notification procedures are carried out for a hazardous materials incident:
The City of Encinitas has a contract with the Hazardous Incident Response Team
(HIRT) who will respond when the chemical is unknown or hazardous (toxic, ignitable,
corrosive, or reactive).
The Office of Emergency Services (OES) will be contacted for any release of a
hazardous substance with a volume greater than 42 gallons, or the release of an
acutely hazardous substance in any amount.
The Regional Water Quality Control Board will be notified when a spill enter the
waterways.
Record Keeping and Documentation - Documentation is important to eliminating illicit
discharges. During an investigation, photographs are taken to verify all illicit discharges.
Analytical results, notices of violation, correspondence, and other associated documents are
collected and filed with the complaint. This type of documentation is crucial for any type of
enforcement that may be necessary. Each investigation report is maintained in a file and in a
database. The database is stored in a report format so that the number of illicit discharges
investigated and resolved is tracked on a continual basis and reported in annual reports.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -12
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
8.4 Elimination of Illicit Discharges and Connections
Elimination of illicit discharges and connections consists of two parts. The first is the immediate
response and containment, and the second is the actual elimination of the problem. When an
illicit connection or illegal discharge is detected, the City responds immediately. If a responsible
party has been identified, they will be required to perform the necessary cleanup, containment,
and changes to eliminate the problem. The City immediately proceeds to the enforcement
stage of this program, the initial stage being notification and education. The details of the
enforcement program are provided below.
When a responsible party can not be immediately identified, the City sends out its own
emergency crews to contain, eliminate and cleanup the illegal discharge or connection. If a
responsible party is identified, the City will request retribution for the costs of the repair and
cleanup.
8.5 Enforce Ordinance
Illicit discharges and illegal connections are non - stormwater discharges prohibited by the City's
Municipal Storm Water Management Ordinance and violations of this ordinance are enforced.
The City has a multi -level enforcement procedure. Enforcement activities are carried out by its
POST certified Environmental Health Officer and Stormwater Staff. The appropriate level of
enforcement is dependent upon the severity of each case. The levels of enforcement used by
the City are explained below.
Level One Enforcement — Staff maintains a high level of presence in the location or a
suspected violation. By visiting the site numerous times, staff has the opportunity to
gather information, take photographs, and perform informal education and inspections.
Level Two Enforcement - This level of enforcement occurs when staff determines that
a violation has or is occurring. Staff writes a formal Notice of Violation /Correct Work. A
sample of this notice is provided in Appendix B. The notice indicates the nature of the
violation, the required abatement procedure, and a deadline to comply with the notice.
Level Three Enforcement - In the event that a Level Two Enforcement action does not
gain adequate abatement of a Notice of Violation, staff drafts a formal correspondence
requested immediate abatement and compliance with the applicable of Municipal Code
section(s).
Level Four Enforcement (Criminal Infraction) - Dischargers who do not abate as
requested in a formal, written Notice of Violation receive a citation, court appearance,
and some form of community reparation (i.e. fine and /or community service).
Level Five Enforcement (Formal Civil of Criminal Complaint) - For dischargers who
chronically ignore, verbal, and formal written requests, and continue to violate discharge
regulations after being issued a citation, stormwater staff utilizes the assistance of the
City attorney for formal prosecution of the filing of a civil complaint
2 POST certification pursuant to Section 832(a) of the California Penal code.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -13
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Reporting of Non - compliant Sites — The City notifies the SDRWQCB when repeated
violations have been recorded without action, when a violation causes pollutants to enter waters
of the State, or when the violation causes a significant threat to human and environmental
health. The notification includes a description of how and why the non - compliance incident or
practice presents a threat to human or environmental health. Oral notification will be made
within 24 hours of discovery of the non - compliant incident or practice, with a follow -up written
notification within 5 days of the discovery. In addition a list of non - compliant sites will be kept
up -to -date and included in the annual report.
8.6 Prevention and Response to Sewage Spills and Other Spills (Including from
Private Laterals and Failing Septic Tanks)
Sewage collection and disposal for the City of Encinitas is provided by two separate agencies.
Approximately the southern half of the jurisdiction is served by the Encinitas Sanitary and
Cardiff Sanitary Division (ESD /CSD), which is operated from within the City of Encinitas. The
northern half of the City is served by an independent agency, the Leucadia County Water
District (LCWD). This section describes the practices related to sewage system operation and
maintenance that are conducted by these agencies. In addition, both the ESD /CSD and LCWD
maintain and implement Sanitary Sewer Overflow. Prevention Plans. Copies of these plans are
provided in Appendix G.
8.6.1 Prevention of Sewage Spills
ESD /CSD — Following is a description of ESD /CSD's sewage collection system management,
operations, and maintenance practices.
Maintenance Program
The City of Encinitas owns and operates the ESD /CSD systems. These systems adhere to a
sewer maintenance schedule that insures that all sewer lines (80 miles) are cleaned annually
with both a combination sewer cleaner (Vac -con) and a continuous rodder. Under the current
maintenance schedule known trouble spots are cleaned more frequently such as quarterly,
monthly, bimonthly, or on as needed basis.
Capacity Assurance Program
Sewer master plans were prepared and are being implemented for ESD (1992) and CSD
(1994). These master plans are comprehensive studies, which involved televised inspections of
the sewer system and an evaluation of the capacity and integrity of the sewer mains and the
system's (Moonlight Beach) pump station. The City intends to update the Master Plan in fiscal
year 2001/02 in order to identify and address areas needing improvement. Each year the City
allocates funding for repairs and improvements to the sewer system within the City of Encinitas.
Source Control Program
The City of Encinitas' Municipal Code, Chapter 18.04 provides regulations for sewer laterals and
the installation of grease, oil, and sand interceptors. This ordinance requires that grease, oil,
and sand interceptors be installed when deemed necessary by the City Engineer for proper
handling of liquid waste containing grease in excess amounts. In practice, interceptors are
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -14
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
required in facilities that have historically had sewer lateral blockage problems. The ordinance
also requires that the interceptors be maintained by the property owner /operator.
The City of Encinitas has several policies for prevention of sewer spills from laterals. These
include the requirements that all new laterals be equipped with an accessible lateral cleanout.
This allows for efficient and timely maintenance in the event of a blockage. All restaurants are
required to install a grease interceptor in their laterals. Regulations for minimum sewer main
depths and lateral construction are in place and carefully followed to minimize any backflow
from the sewer main that could cause laterals to overflow.
LCWD — Following is a description of LCWD's sewage collection system management,
operations, and maintenance practices.
Maintenance Program
LCWD employs a computerized work management system for all maintenance activities. This
system is setup to ensure that the majority of the Collection System (about 85% or 145 miles) is
scheduled for cleaning and other scheduled maintenance activities annually. The remainder of
the Collection System (about 15% or 25 miles) is located in high vehicular traffic zones or
limited access areas and is scheduled for cleaning and other scheduled maintenance activities
bi- annually. The District's Collection System's small system size, the close management
oversight of the work orders by Operations Supervisor, and its high level of O &M crew
experience allows for the rapid identification of trends and problem areas.
District staff performs preventative hydro - cleaning for approximately 92% of the system
annually. Root removal through the use of a mechanical rodding truck or the hydraulic root saw
is utilized as needed. Incidence of roots is documented in the work history of the specific line
segment, but has been minimal. Approximately 58 trouble spots are identified in the work
management system with special maintenance actions completed quarterly.
Sewer Inspection, Condition Assessment, and Rehabilitation Program
Besides its annual maintenance actions by a closely supervised O &M crew, LCWD has
conducted flow studies, smoke testing, and closed circuit TV inspection to inspect and assess
the sewage collection system. Through flow monitoring and visual checks, the District is able to
inspect and assess about 90% (153 miles) of the sewage collection system annually. Current
plans are to inspect the gravity portion of the sewage collection system over the next four years
(approximately 25% or 42 miles per year). TV inspections also identify areas of poor condition
that may lead to exfiltration from the system.
The District has either replaced or repaired in situ sewer lines that were defective or
deteriorated. Due to the relative newness of LCWD's sewage collection system, the major
thrust of repair /rehabilitation efforts have been to sewage pump stations and manholes. Half
the pump stations and 55 manholes have been rehabilitated over the last four years.
Source Control Program
LCWD has an ordinance in Section 7, of Article Ill, of Resolution No. 949 that requires the
owner /generator of the connection to provide a pre- treatment facility, such as a grease
( interceptor to prevent damage or increased maintenance to the public sewer. Additionally, the
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -15
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Uniform Building Code requires grease interceptors be installed on all new food establishments
as well as remodels. LCWD has minimal problems with grease stoppages.
In addition, LCWD has several policies for prevention of sewer spills from private lateral
connections. These include the requirements that all new laterals be equipped with an
accessible lateral cleanout, allowing for efficient and timely maintenance in the event of a
blockage. Regulations for minimum sewer main depths and lateral construction are in place
and carefully follow to minimize any backflow from the sewer main that could cause laterals to
overflow.
Capacity Assurance Program
The district has a sewer system master plan, which is the primary facilities planning document.
The master plan includes a hydraulic capacity analysis of the collection system. The master
plan includes an assessment of the pump station capacities. The District contracts flow -
monitoring services to verify the hydraulic analysis and to detect inflow and infiltration (I & 1) that
may lead to sewer overflows.
Capital Improvement Program
LCWD has an active capital improvement program that identifies repair or replacement projects.
Capital improvement projects are identified in a number of ways such as referencing the master
plan, engineering studies or investigations, condition observations by O &M staff, age driven
replacement of refurbishment, and planning of large developments.
8.6.2 Spill Response
Spills that occur in Encinitas generally fall into two categories; sewer spills and illicit discharges
(including anything from restaurant grease to pool filter backwash). Sewer spills are handled
through either ESD /CSD or LCWD, whichever has jurisdiction over the area of the discharge.
These agencies have developed detailed spill response procedures that are attached in
Appendix G. Illicit discharges are handled in much the way as a sewage spill, however,
depending on the type of material involved, Hazmat or the Fire Department may be called. Illicit
discharges are generally reported to the City through the Public Works Department or the Storm
Water Program. The City of Encinitas has two Vac -con trucks that can respond to spills.
Once an illicit discharge spill has been reported, the following spill response procedures are
taken:
1. Relevant data is collected including a description of the spill, its location; possible
source, the callers name and phone number (optional, but helpful).
2. Storm Water and /or Public Works staff is dispatched to the site and generally a Vac -con
truck will also be dispatched.
3. The spill is examined, and if it is of a nature that Public Works staff can adequately
respond to it will be immediately contained. If public Works crew determine that they
cannot respond because of the type of spill, the appropriate agency will be notified (Fire
Department, Hazmat, etc.)
4. Samples are taken, if possible and safe.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -16
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
5. The spill is cleaned up with the Vac -con or other appropriate means and the spill
material is disposed of properly.
6. If appropriate, the spill is reported to the proper authorities (Department of
Environmental Health or RWQCB)
8.6.3 Public Reporting of Sewage Spills
In accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 5411.5, sewage spills are
immediately reported to the County Environmental Health Department 24 hours a day. During
standard work hours, reports should be called into 619- 338 -2386. After hours, contact County
Dispatch at 858 - 565 -5255 and request the environmental health specialist be paged.
California Water Code Section 13271 and the California Code of Regulations Section 2250
require that the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) be notified of sewage spills of 1000
gallons or more as soon as possible. They can be reached at 800 - 825 -7550.
If the sewage spill is 1000 gallons or greater, or results in a discharge to surface waters, the
Regional Water Quality Control Board needs to be contacted within 24 hours by fax, telephone,
or voice mail. Surface waters include rivers, streams, ephemeral streams, lagoons, the ocean,
dry arroyos, and storm drains. Within five days of the spill, the appropriate agency must fax to
the to the RWQCB a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Report Form. Each quarter the
appropriate agency submits a report of all sewage spills within their jurisdiction to the Regional
Board on a computer floppy disk.

8.7 Public Reporting of Illicit Discharges and Connections — Public Hotline
Multiple opportunities are provided to facilitate public reporting of illicit discharges and
connections to the City. Reporting of non -storm water discharges can be received from the
community, City staff, or outside agencies. The City has two main hotlines available locally, one
for storm water discharges [760- 633 - 2632/2787] and one for sewer — related discharges [760-
633- 2871]. The public can also notify any City employee (the City Life Guards are often notified
of spills), who will promptly notify the appropriate staff in the Storm Water Program or Public
Works.
Regional public reporting is provided by the County Storm Water Hotline [1- 888 - 846 -0800] and the
Think Blue Hotline, 1- 888 -THINK BLue [1- 888 - 844 - 6525], and even statewide hotlines, such as
EARTH -911. The City has provided these hotlines with the appropriate contact data to refer
callers or complaints.
8.7.1 Storm Water Complaint Receipt Procedures
The following steps should be followed when receiving and routing citizen complaints:
• Collect complainant information, location of the discharge, materials and waste involved,
ect. The complaint may be direct or by referral from another agency.
• Record call into complaints notebook for later logging into complaints database.
• Prioritize the complaint.
• Is a hazardous or unknown material involved?
• Is the spill occurring now?
• Is there an immediate threat to health or the environment?
• If the discharge involves a hazardous or unknown material, the Fire Department is be,
dispatched to investigate. Fire departments may dispatch the San Diego Hazardous
Incident Response Team (HIRT) if needed.
• Route the complaint to the appropriate person or agency for appropriate action, and
confirm that they have received it.
• If the call involves a discharge that is ongoing, an immediate response and site visit is
warranted. If the discharge has previously occurred, a site visit will be performed within
24 hours.
8.7.2 Storm Water Complaint Equipment
During a complaint investigation, staff must be prepared to run field screening analysis, sample
for laboratory analysis, and document the discharge for any future enforcement. The City
maintains the following equipment to accomplish these tasks.
Field screening analysis. pH paper or meter, a commercial storm water pollutant screening kit
that can detect for reactive phosphorus, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, specific
conductance, and turbidity. Sample bottles and a sample collection pole will be needed as well
as a tool to remove maintenance hole covers.
Laboratory analysis. Sample cooler and ice, sample bottles, labels, chain of custody forms.
Documentation- Camera, notebook, pens, Notice of Violation forms, educational materials.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -18
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
8.7.3 Complaint Response Procedures
The following procedures are followed during a complaint response
Pre - investigation preparation. Before leaving for an investigation, staff should assemble
needed information and equipment. If a discharge is occurring from a specific property, the
owner of the property should be determined through the assessor's parcel list. The address
should be located on a map and possible receiving waters identified. Appropriate BMP and
other educational materials should be collected. Investigation equipment should include a
camera, sampling equipment, field screening test kits, protective equipment like gloves, eye
protection, and hardhat, and a notebook.
Investigation. The response stall should go to the alleged discharge scene and confirm if a
discharge is occurring. If not, the complaint is unjustified and should be documented as such. If
there is a discharge, is it an illicit discharge to the MS4? If not, document the discharge. If it is
an illicit discharge, this should be documented and actions started to end the discharge.
Responsible Party (RP) notification. If the investigator determines that a discharge is taking
place, whether it is illicit or not, the RP should be informed. Any restrictions on an allowable
discharge should be discussed. If an RP is available, the notification can be done during the
investigation by issuing a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the field. The NOV should include
mitigation BMPs and a schedule for implementation of the BMPs. If no RP is available during
the investigation, they must be contacted via telephone, e-mail, or mail. Contact with RPs,
including meetings, face to face discussions, meetings, and telephone calls should be
documented with a narrative describing what topics were discussed.
Follow -up. If a Notice of Violation has been issued to the RP, storm water staff will revisit the
site to verify that the discharge has not reoccurred, and that the agreed upon mitigation BMPs
and schedule has been met.
8.8 Disposal of Used Oil and Toxic Materials
8.8.1 Used Oil Recycling Program
The City has a used oil recycling program that consists of a network of certified automotive
waste recycling centers throughout the city. These facilities accept a range of used products
including used oil, oil filters, batteries, and antifreeze. A major part of this program is the
dissemination of educational information regarding the benefits of, and opportunities for,
pollution prevention.
8.8.2 Household Hazardous Waste
In accordance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB939) in 1989, Encinitas
provides Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection programs to residents to limit the
volume of household hazardous waste going into the waste stream and being deposited in
landfills. Household hazard waste includes, but is not limited to, household cleaners, used oil
and fuel additives, paint and paint thinners, pesticides, and pool chemicals.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -19
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
The current program consists of agreements with the cities of Poway and Vista that allow
Encinitas residents to dispose of their HHW at permanent collection facilities located in Poway
and Vista. A new program component includes door -to -door HHW pickup for homebound
elderly and handicapped citizens at no charge. In addition, periodic one -day collection events
(Citywide and regional) are held.
8.9 Limiting Infiltration from Sanitary Sewer to MS4 /Provide Preventative Maintenance
of Both
The Municipal Permit requires that jurisdictions that operate both a municipal sanitary sewer
system and an MS4 must implement controls and measures to limit infiltration of seepage from
these sewers to their MS4. This includes the following measures:
• System operation and design
• Sanitary sewer inspections,
• MS4 inspections, and
• Thorough, routine preventive maintenance of both systems
The City owns and operates the sewer and MS4 in approximately the southern half of the
jurisdiction. The City's sewer system is primarily a gravity flow system so that little pressure
builds up to cause exfiltration from the sewer system. Pressure flow does occur from the
Moonlight Sewer Pump Station to La Costa Avenue along Highway 101. Adjacent to the
Moonlight sewer forcemain, a new storm drain facility is being installed. Because this system is
new, it should be relatively tight and not allow infiltration. In addition, the City requires a
minimum 10 -foot clearance between any sewer and storm drain facility which reduces the
possibility for sewage to inflow into the MS4.
The sewer collection system is inspected and cleaned annually. Sewer Master Plans are
periodically performed to identify capacity and condition problems that could lead to exfitration
of sewage. A Capital Improvement Program is implemented to perform necessary repairs and
replacements.
The below ground MS4 (which is susceptible to sewer infiltration) maintenance program
consists primarily of cleaning inlets, catch basins, and pipelines. Routine inspection and
cleaning of underground facilities is performed between May 1 and September 30 of each year,
with additional inspection and cleaning performed between October 1 and April 30, if necessary
during inspections any suspected sewer infiltration is noted and .reported for further investigation
under the source investigation program.
When a suspected illegal connection or sewer infiltration is suspected, several techniques are
used to further identify and verify the finding, these include:
• CCTV
• Dye testing
• 1 & I program
• Water quality testing
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Page 8 -20
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
r When an illegal connection is found that poses a threat to water quality, a capital project is
identified to repair or line the problem pipeline. If the problem poses an immediate threat,
emergency actions are taken to repair the pipeline.

9.0 EDUCATION
The City of Encinitas' economic health and community character has always been based on the
beach - community culture. This culture is one of the keys to an effective education program.
The citizens of Encinitas relate to the need for clean beaches and clean water. It is this
message. that is the foundation of the City's education program. This message will be
disseminated through a combination of printed material, our City website, personal contact,
outreach to trade, merchant associations, the Chamber of Commerce and schools, promotional
educational materials, newspaper coverage, and workshops.
The overall goal of the education element is to provide an education program that will: (1)
measurably increase the knowledge of target communities regarding MS4s, impacts of urban
runoff on receiving waters, and potential BMP solutions for the target audience; and (2)
measurably change the behavior of target communities and thereby reduce pollutant releases to
MS4s and the environment over the five year cycle of the Permit.
In the fall of 2001, a baseline Public Awareness Survey was conducted to measure the
knowledge base and personal habits regarding storm water. The results of the survey were
received in January, 2002 and have not been fully interpreted at the time this document was
developed. This survey will be used to focus of the City's educational message and education
program activities. The initial phases of the program are more generally in nature, because
baseline data regarding the populations' knowledge base has not been analyzed. Over time,
however, the program will be modified to better reflect an increasing body of knowledge
regarding the potential contribution of specific sources to water quality.
In developing the City's outreach strategy a number of factors. These factors include:
• Target Audiences
• Outreach Objectives
• Program Content
• Geographic Focus
• Outreach Tools and Approaches
• Program Resources
Each of these factors are discussed in a section listed below. The City's specific goals with
respect to these factors is also discussed.
9.1 Target Audiences
The following six target audiences will be addressed in the City's program, as specified by the
Municipal Permit:
• Residential Community, General Public, and Schoolchildren
• Municipal Departments and Personnel
• Construction Site Owners and Operators
• Industrial Owners and Operators
• Commercial Owners and Operators
• Quasi - Governmental Agencies / Districts
Education Component Page 9 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
The specific outreach tools /approaches used for each targeted group are provided in Section
9.8 below. �.
9.2 Outreach Objectives
As stated above, the overall goals of the education program are to (1) measurably increase the
knowledge of target communities regarding MS4s, impacts of urban runoff on receiving waters,
and potential BMP solutions for the target audience; and (2) measurably change the behavior of
target communities and thereby reduce pollutant releases to MS4s and the environment. These
overall, long -term goals are then broken into smaller, short -term objectives that coincide with the
process of learning and changing behaviors. Environmental educators have divided the learning
process into four distinct phases: (1) knowledge, (2) attitudes, (3) skills, and (4) behaviors.
Therefore, program efforts are focused on increasing understanding, and where necessary
changing, the attitudes of target audiences, and providing useful information that will enable them
to change their behaviors.
9.3 Program Content
Permit Section F.4. specifies the minimum program content which must be included where
applicable for each target audience. This is a programmatic requirement, and therefore is
interpreted to mean that all materials and approaches must incorporate for each of the issues
listed in Table 1 below. For instance, it is not effective to educate kindergarten children on State
and Federal water quality laws is unproductive. Where possible, outreach and education
activities will target specific populations, sub - populations, activities, areas, and /or constituents
considered to be "high priority ".
Initially, the City will apply their efforts more generally. Over time, as our understanding of the
activities and behaviors in the City increase, these efforts will be modified to better reflect an
increasing body of knowledge regarding the potential contribution of specific activities and
sources to water quality impacts. The City is initially developing general stormwater pollution
awareness information, education and outreach efforts to the community at large, more focused
education can then be provided for specific high priority activities. In addition to general storm
water education, the City of Encinitas, will focused efforts on commercial businesses, municipal
activities, construction sites, and school children.

City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
9.4 Geographic Focus
Per the requirements of the Municipal Permit, there are three levels at which education and
outreach efforts must be applied; Jurisdictional, Watershed and Regional. The City does and
will continue to participate in educational activities at each level as described below.
(a) Jurisdictional Activities and Programs. There is a high level of knowledge and concern
among the municipal staff and constituency of Encinitas about clean beaches and clean
water. Therefore, on a jurisdictional level, one of the most effective educational tools that
the City uses is personal contact and education regarding the effects of polluting activities
on our waterways. Local efforts are focused on education of those responsible for polluting
activities during site visits triggered by routine inspections, complaints and referrals. The
local message focuses on the need and desire for clean beaches and clean water.
(b) Watershed Activities and Programs. A strong watershed element is important for
establishing ownership in the minds of broader target audiences. People are more likely to
respond to education and outreach when they understand the impacts of upstream activities
on downstream areas. Educational activities can be better tailored to address the concerns
of local citizens and watershed network groups regarding local water quality issues.
Watershed -level activities can also be utilized in combination with jurisdictional and regional
approaches to allow for a more systematic and efficient use of existing resources. By
working cooperatively with other entities along common waterways, Copermittees can also
develop partnerships for achieving other shared goals.
Recognizing the effectiveness and cost efficiency of the watershed approach, the City of
Encinitas is working collaboratively with the Copermittees of the Carlsbad watershed. The
County of San Diego is a part of this watershed group both as a constituent of the
watershed and in a liaison role with the ongoing educational efforts of the Regional
Program. The watershed program has begun developing collaborative materials and
activities, using the cooperative name "North County Storm Water Programs ". The group
meets on a monthly basis. To date the group has performed a baseline public awareness
survey, agreed upon a general storm water informational brochure and an informational
doorhanger that is to be used to educate residents about water quality problems identified
in their neighborhood. The groups goals include preparing an outreach plan for the
upcoming years, continuing to perform public awareness surveys, as needed for tracking
program effectiveness, developing a calendar for and collaboration on attending public
events, and producing additional published educational material.
(c) Regional Activities and Programs. Regionally conducted activities can often be the most
effective means of reaching the community at large, as well as other focused targets such
as business and industry associations. The City of Encinitas will continue to participate and
collaborate with regional efforts through Project Clean Water and technical work groups.
Outreach Tools /Approaches
Outreach tools and approaches discussed in this section are primarily related to the
jurisdictional efforts within the City of Encinitas. The effective implementation of BMPs relies on
educating the parties who ultimately must undergo behavioral changes, whether it includes the L
general public, school children, public interest groups, businesses or agency personnel.
Education Component Page 9 -4
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
Outreach may include information on both nonstructural (pollution prevention, good
housekeeping, etc.) and structural (treatment control) BMPs, but will generally emphasize non-
structural measures and behavioral change. Structural BMP requirements will be issued to
individuals primarily through targeted communication during the development process.
(a) Print Media. Newspaper advertisements or articles, newsletters, bill inserts, paycheck
inserts, brochures, fact sheets and printed BMP information will be used to inform and
educate target audiences.
(b) Brochures /Printed Materials. Educational brochures will be used to reach specific target
audiences (e.g., home do- it- yourselfers, businesses, etc.) with water quality and BMP
information. The City plans to produce and disseminate a general storm water informational
brochure (part of the watershed education group), and specific activity -based or trade -
appropriate brochures. Special mailings will also be performed for highest priority groups in
the business and construction trade. Printed materials will be included, as much as,
feasible, on our City website. Contact information and referrals to other topical references
will be provided.
(c) News Media Releases. Articles and press releases may be distributed for inclusion in city
newsletters and local papers, likewise, homeowners, trade and industry associations will be
encouraged to print articles in their newsletters. Media releases may be used to announce
special promotions, clean up days or special events.
(d) Municipal Vehicles. The City has a dedicated storm drain cleaning vacon truck that would
be ideal for a simple advertising message. Placement of decals on this truck will be
evaluated and implemented, if feasible.
(e) Municipal Facilities / Public Lobbies. The City Hall Community Center public lobbies will
be used for distributing posters, brochures, and other educational items. Permit counters
(construction, grading, hazardous materials, etc.) also be a primary tool for distributing
trade - related materials to the business sector.
(t) Storm Drain Stenciling. It is the goal of the City to have all storm drain inlets stenciled
with a storm water message. Recently, the City has moved from painted stencils to a
plaque -type stencil. The plaque is applied with glue and is more consistently high quality for
a longer period of time.
(g) Libraries. Printed materials focused on residential education will be distributed to the City
library.
(h) Promotional Items. The City Storm Water Program has produced promotional pencils that
are given out at community events and schools. These pencils are imprinted with a picture
of a dolphin and the message:
ONLY RAIN IN THE STORM DRAIN PLEASE
DOWNSTREAM IS MY HOME
The City's website and Stormwater Hotline is also provided. The City plans to continue the
use of these pencils and to work with the North County Storm Water Programs to develop
additional promotional items.
Education Component Page 9 -5
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
(i) Other Advertising. The City will explore the use of other, non - traditional advertising
include the use of slides in movie theatres, bookmarks, coupons for car washes, and
messages printed on bill inserts.
(j) Workshops / Training. Workshops and training sessions are very effective tools for
providing specific information to agency personnel and specific industries. The City uses
this "hands on" approach primarily to educate internal city employees. Workshops have
been used to train construction inspectors and contractors regarding the new storm water
regulations. The City will continue to use workshops for increasing awareness and
knowledge, conveying complex or technical information, and instructing attendees on the
use of specific best management practices and pollution prevention techniques should be
geared toward the involvement of agencies or businesses that are similar in nature and
activities. Trade - related workshops that the City plans to perform include automotive repair
activities, restaurant operators, and nursery operators.
(k) Hotlines. The City has a local hotline with two numbers used interchangeably. These
hotline numbers are (760)633 -2632 and (760)633 -2728 and connect the caller directly to
the staff in the Storm Water Program. There are also currently two regional stormwater
hotline numbers promoted within San Diego County, a toll -free Regional Stormwater
Hotline, 1- 888 - 846 -0800 and the Think Blue Hotline, 1- 888 -THINK BLue (1- 888 - 844 - 6525).
Both of these hotlines are staffed by the County of San Diego Monday through Friday, 8:00
a.m. - 5:00 p.m. In addition to personal service at these hotlines, during regular business
hours, the hotlines provide a voice mail message for 24 -hour public access.
(1) Internet Websites. The City currently has a website that includes several pages of
information regarding storm water. The stormwater information is easily access through a
pull -down window on the homepage, and through links in the Engineering Services
Department and Public Works pages. By clicking on "Storm water Services" several pages
can be accessed, including:
• Certified Automotive Water recycling Centers,
• Household Hazardous Waste Collection Sites
• Pick up After your Dog, and
• Pollution Prevention Practices
The City plans to update this website to provide additional information regarding the activity -
based BMPs, general education information, and links to other resources, such as the
County's Project Clean Water website, the City of San Diego's Think blue website, and the
San Diego California Environmental Education Community (SanDCREEC) website.
(m) Community Events. Community events such as informational booths at community fairs
and family festivals provide a conduit to distribute information and resources directly to
target communities. The city plans on attending quarterly public events. Based on the
2000 -2001 calendar these events include:
• 19th annual Encinitas Street Fair —April 20 -21, 2002
• Father's Day 2002 Beach Party & Menhune Surf Classic — June 16, 2002
• Encinitas Day Celebration — October, 2002
• Rob Machado Surf Classic & Beach Fair — September, 2002
Education Component Page 9 -6
City of Encinitas ,
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
It is anticipated that the North County Storm Water Programs or the Regional Program will
likely organize a collaborative effort to participate in Earth Day activities on April 22, 2002.
The City of Encinitas will participate in this event.
The City is also plan /participate /sponsor at least one beach or creek cleanup per year.
(n) School Programs. Education of school children is essential for promoting storm water
awareness. Currently the City works closely with Pacific View Elementary School on a fifth
grade science project that consists of storm drain education and sampling of Cottonwood
Creek. This program is sponsored cooperatively between the Community Development
Department and Engineering Department. Storm Water staff meet with the classrooms to
discuss storm water and general water quality issues. Staff also assists the children in the
sampling efforts and provides equipment for the classroom.
In addition, Storm Water staff assists at least one 8'h grade student with a Science Fair
project related to Storm Water Quality. This assistance generally consists of education,
supplies, and, in some cases water quality data. Although this is a time consuming effort, it
is beneficial to the community and is an effective educational tool.
The City plans to continue these activities with the schools and expand the exposure to
additional schools. The ultimate goal is to provide a presentation, or sponsor a program
annual for one grade level. The material to be covered would include education on
watershed concepts (using a watershed model), the importance of good water quality,
distinction between MS4 and sanitary sewers, the impact of daily activities, and pollution
prevention for their daily lives. The program would be designed to encourage to participate
in hands -on activities will help to promote stewardship of environmental resources. Solana
Recyclers has a children's program entitled S.E.A.L., and the County Office of Education
operates the "Splash Science Mobile Lab" (grades 4 -6) and the "Marine Science Floating
Lab" (grades 3 -12), all of which are used extensively for school programs. The Museum to
School Partnership/ Communities Alive In Nature (MSP /CAN) is one program that provides
education, as well as exposure to field activities. MSP /CAN is a K -12 watershed -based
core curricular program that integrates science, math, technology, language arts and
service learning. These programs will be evaluated to determine the best approach for the
City of Encinitas.
9.5 Program Resources
Funds will be allocated annually for an education program during the yearly budgeting process.
The City will also continue pursuing "crossover education" or consolidation with existing
programs, such as solid waste removal, composting, recycling, household hazardous waste,
used oil recycling and water conservation. Used Oil Recycling and Household Hazardous
Waste grant funds from the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) currently
denote funding eligibility for establishing Pollution Prevention programs. The City currently
cooperates with Solana Recyclers on materials prepared for the used oil programs. Likewise,
partnerships with local environmental nonprofit organizations that have access to other types of
environmental funds could be beneficial.
The City plans to continue to work cooperatively through the North County Storm water
Programs education group and the Stormwater Education Subcommittee to develop cost
effective and consistent storm water education materials. Other opportunities that will be
Education Component Page 9 -7
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
explored to share resources include:
• Partnerships with local Household Hazardous Waste Programs
• Partnering with municipal departments and solid waste disposal service providers,
including coordination on community clean -up activities and sponsorship of the Keep
California Beautiful (KCB). KCB provides community programs with free bags and
promotional assistance for clean -up activities and events.
• Partnerships will be sought with local businesses to aid in distributing literature and
possibly result in other in -kind services.
9.6 Focused Program Elements

10.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Public participation is activities that allow the public to interact and become involved with storm
water issues. When the public has the opportunity to become involved there are several
positive outcomes. First, those involved become more knowledgeable about storm water
issues. Second, they become educators and stewards for the storm water program. Finally,
they provide important feedback to the Storm Water Program regarding the concerns of the
public and issues that may be overlooked, but could make the education process more
effective.
The public participation and education components are parts of the City's overall outreach
program. The goal of the education component is geared primarily towards disseminating
educational material to increase public knowledge of storm water issues. The goal of the public
participation component is to provide opportunities for the public to become involved in the
process of education and reducing pollutants in storm water and urban runoff. This component
will primarily be implemented by the Engineering Services Department (Storm Water Program)
and the Public Works Department.
10.1 Public Participation Approach
The tools that will be used by the City to implement the public participation activities include:
• Workshops/Training Sessions
• Public Awareness Surveys
• Blue Ribbon Environmental Council
• Storm Water Hotline
• Speakers Bureaus
• Community Events
• School Programs
• Citizen monitoring Groups
The public participation program will strive to include members of the following target audiences:
• Municipal Departments and Personnel
• Construction Site owners and Developers
• Commercial Owners and Operators
• Residential Community, General Public, and School Children
• Quasi Governmental Agencies /Districts

10.2 Focused Program Elements
This section provides a description of how the public participation tools will be used to include
the target audiences.
10.2.1 Workshops/Training Sessions
Workshops and training sessions are very effective tools for providing specific information to
agency personnel and specific industries. The City uses this "hands on" approach primarily to
educate internal city employees. Workshops have been used to train construction inspectors
and contractors regarding the new storm water regulations. The City will continue to use

information, and instructing attendees on the use of specific best management practices and
pollution prevention techniques should be geared toward the involvement of agencies or
businesses that are similar in nature and activities. Trade - related workshops that the City plans
to perform include automotive repair activities, restaurant operators, and nursery operators.
10.2.2 Public Awareness Surveys
The City participated in a public awareness survey to establish a baseline knowledge level for
the public. This survey was performed in collaboration with the "North County Storm Water
Programs ". Through this group, additional surveys are planned to measure changes in public
awareness of storm water issues.
10.2.3 Blue Ribbon Environmental Council
The City of Encinitas Blue Ribbon Environmental Committee was established by the City
Council to evaluate City owned and maintained facilities and programs and make
recommendations to the City Council for implementing practical best management practices.
The panel is comprised of two members from each of the City's five communities and one at-
large member. Members of the Committee were selected for their expertise in various
environmental issues.
10.2.4 Storm Water Hotline
The City has a local hotline with two numbers used interchangeably. These hotline numbers
are (760)633 -2632 and (760)633 -2728 and connect the caller directly to the staff in the Storm
Water Program. There are also currently two regional storm water hotline numbers promoted
within San Diego County, a toll -free Regional Stormwater Hotline, 1- 888 - 846 -0800 and the
Think Blue Hotline, 1- 888 -THINK Blue (1- 888 - 844 - 6525). Both of these hotlines are staffed by
the County of San Diego Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. In addition to personal
service at these hotlines, during regular business hours, the hotlines provide a voice mail
message for 24 -hour public access.
10.2.5 Speakers Bureaus
The City works with the City of Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Encinitas

10.2.6 Community Events
Community events such as informational booths at community fairs and family festivals provide
a conduit to distribute information and resources directly to target communities. The city plans
on attending quarterly public events. Based on the 2000 -2001 calendar these events include:
19th annual Encinitas Street Fair —April 20 -21, 2002
• Father's Day 2002 Beach Party & Menhune Surf Classic — June 16, 2002
• Encinitas Day Celebration — October, 2002
• Rob Machado Surf Classic & Beach Fair - September, 2002
It is anticipated that the North County Storm Water Programs or the Regional Program will likely
organize a collaborative effort to participate in Earth Day activities on April 22, 2002. The City of
Encinitas will participate in this event.
The City also plans to plan /participate /sponsor at least one beach or creek cleanup per year.
10.2.7 School Programs
Education of school children is essential for promoting storm water awareness. Currently the
City works closely with Pacific View Elementary School on a fifth grade science project that
consists of storm drain education and sampling of Cottonwood Creek. This program is
sponsored cooperatively between the Community Development Department and Engineering
Department. Storm Water staff meet with the classrooms to discuss storm water and general
water quality issues. Staff also assists the children in the sampling efforts and provides
equipment for the classroom.
In addition, Storm Water staff assists at least one 8th grade student with a Science Fair project
related to Storm Water Quality. This assistance generally consists of education, supplies, and,
in some cases water quality data. Although this is a time consuming effort, it is beneficial to the
community and is an effective educational tool.
The City plans to continue these activities with the schools and expand the exposure to
additional schools. The ultimate goal is to provide a presentation, or sponsor a program annual
for one grade level. The material to be covered would include education on watershed concepts
(using a watershed model), the importance of good water quality, distinction between MS4 and
sanitary sewers, the impact of daily activities, and pollution prevention for their daily lives. The
program would be designed to encourage to participate in hands -on activities will help to
promote stewardship of environmental resources. Solana Recyclers has a children's program
entitled S.E.A.L., and the County Office of Education operates the "Splash Science Mobile Lab"
(grades 4 -6) and the "Marine Science Floating Lab" (grades 3 -12), all of which are used
extensively for school programs. The Museum to School Partnership/ Communities Alive In
Nature (MSP /CAN) is one program that provides education, as well as exposure to field
activities. MSP /CAN is a K -12 watershed -based core curricular program that integrates
science, math, technology, language arts and service learning. These programs will be
evaluated to determine the best approach for the City of Encinitas.
10.2.8 Citizen Monitoring Groups
Citizen monitoring groups will be supporting In the City of Encinitas. The City plans to share
data and collaborate on sampling events and sites.

Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
( 11.0 ASSESSMENT OF JURISDICTIONAL URMP EFFECTIVENESS
11.1 Introduction
Because the Municipal Permit requirements are relatively new and the program will be changing
significantly in the next few years, it is necessary to continually evaluate and update the
program. This component will establish a program whereby the City will evaluate its progress
towards the overall goal of reducing pollutants associated with storm water and urban runoff.
The objectives of the assessment program are to a assess the performance of the Storm Water
Program, assess the effectiveness of improving receiving water quality, identify changes that
will increase the effectiveness of the program, and document assessment activities conducted
which will be reported in the JURMP Annual Report.
The Municipal Permit requires jurisdictions to develop an assessment program to evaluate both
the annual and long -term JURMP assessment strategy using both direct and indirect
measurements. The following sections describe the City's overall assessment program.
11.2 Assessment Approach
The City's assessment approach consists of evaluating the performance of the program and the
effectiveness of the program. The program performance includes the level of effort that is
expended to reduce pollutants in storm water and urban runoff. The program effectiveness is
how well the program actually reduces the pollutants in storm water and urban runoff. The
program performance will be evaluated by tracking activities, such as, the number of inspections
performed, the amount of educational materials distributed, or the number of projects subject to
the SUSMP requirements. Program effectiveness evaluates actual quantitative information,
such as changes in the average dry weather monitoring constituent levels.
The City plans to perform these assessments by tracking annual activities and long -term trends
using direct and indirect measurement. Direct measurements include estimates of the reduction
of pollutant load. The most direct measure of program effectiveness is a reduction of pollution
in urban runoff or storm water as measured through monitoring. However, because of the
nature and inherent uncertainties of water quality monitoring associated with variability of flow
conditions, sampling, handling and testing techniques, and analysis of the data, many more
years of monitoring will be required in order to develop conclusive trends in water quality in the
area. Therefore, the assessment program will rely more heavily on other direct forms of
assessment such as quantifying the pollutant load reduction due to sediment, debris, and trash
removal programs, and estimating the quantity of pollutants removed through BMPs.
Indirect measurements include quantifying activities that cannot be linked directly to a
measurable pollutant load reduction. Examples of indirect assessment tools include tracking
activities such as inspections, violations, and enforcement actions, public information survey
results over time, number of complaints and type of complaints on hotlines, and quantity of
educational materials distributed. Indirect measures of effectiveness must be used with caution
and required a great deal of interpretation in order to be meaningful. For example, an annual
count of the number of enforcement actions taken in the commercial /industrial components may
seem like a good indicator of program performance. In the short -term this may be correct, in
other words, a large number of inspections is indicative of an aggressive program. However, in
Assessment Component Page 11 -1
City of Encinitas
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program
the long -term, the true measure of effectiveness is if all commercial /industrial facilities are in
compliance with the City's ordinances, have BMPs in place, and conduct business in such a
way that they do not degrade water quality. In this case, a low number of enforcement actions
would be indicative of high compliance.
The City will use both quantitative and qualitative measure of program effectiveness.
Assessment Forms have been developed by the Co- permittees for each component to allow for
consistent reporting of specific activities. These form required the evaluation of each
component on a quantitative and qualitative basis. They provide a means to track the program
performance and effectiveness.
In the beginning, the program assessment will emphasis developing a baseline for long -term
evaluation and will focus on basic activity measurements, consistent reporting, and the
establishment of baselines. The third year will focus on shifting the assessment to a watershed
approach which will be further defied as Co- permittees move towards a watershed program
approach. The watershed assessment will begin to focus on determining the more long -term
trends of component activities. It is hoped that in subsequent years, the program assessment
will include assessment of the program based on trends as compared to the baselines
established in the first several years of the Permit period. Much of the long -term evaluation of
water quality data is anticipated to be performed on a Co- permittee level.
11.3 Program Assessment Forms
Assessment forms have been developed by the Co- permittees to encourage consistent
reporting and tracking among Co- permittees. These forms were developed to track both direct
and indirect measures of program effectiveness. They include a quantitative and qualitative
evaluation of each component. The City plans to have these forms used by the various
departments that implement components of the program. The forms and data will be collected
annually by the Storm Water Program and so that an overall assessment can be performed.
Any significant changes to the program will be implemented and reported in the JURMP Annual
Report. It is anticipated that the JURMP will be updated periodically based on
recommendations from the Program Assessment forms.
A copy of these forms follows.

13.0 FIRE FIGHTING
The City of Encinitas addresses urban runoff issues during emergency and non - emergency fire
fighting activities. Non - emergency fire fighting primarily includes training. Emergency activities
include fire fighting, hazardous materials responses, rescues, and response to traffic collisions.
The following BMPs have been developed and are implemented by the City of Encinitas Fire
Department.
13.1 BMPs for Non - Emergency Fire Fighting
• Whenever possible, Practice drills are performed in areas where runoff will be contained.
When practice drills must be performed in an area where runoff could potentially leave
the site, the shall be surveyed by the officer -in- charge prior to training activities to ensure
that debris will not enter the storm drain system as a result of the drill.
• Areas that have debris that could potentially enter the storm drain system as a result of
the drill activities will not be used for training until the debris has been removed.
• Storm drains where training may be practiced shall be fitted with a hydro screen fabric
barrier and /or sediment and oil separator.
• Live fire training activities will be pre - planned
barriers to control runoff. Runoff from live fire
recovered with the City's Vac -con truck so tha
drain system or receiving waters.
13.2 BMPs for Emergency Activities
to allow integration of structural BMP
training activities will be contained and
t runoff will not discharge to the storm
• Whenever practical, runoff from emergency fire fighting activities is contained and
recovered with the City's Vac -con truck so that runoff will not discharge to the storm
drain system.

14.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Encinitas has developed a storm water program that strives to reduce pollutants in
urban runoff and storm water to improve the water quality of its receiving waters. Encinitas has
had a model storm water program for several years. With the development of the JURMP, the
program has been formalized and strengthened. Following are the highlights of the JURMP:
• Storm Water Management ordinances has been revised and the Grading, Erosion and
Sediment Control ordinance has been updated
• Construction sites, municipal, industrial, and commercial facilities have been
inventoried and prioritized
• BMPs have been established
• Inspection, enforcement, and reporting procedures have been developed
• Dry weather analytical and field screening monitoring program has been developed
Being a coastal community, the City of Encinitas is surrounded by sensitive waterways. It has a
beach culture that requires high awareness of the importance of water quality. The City already
has an aggressive storm water program. This has allowed the City to develop a program that
focuses on local issues as well as the history of the storm water program. Utilizing these
specific features, the storm water program focuses on:
Education — educating the public on storm water issues and how to change their
behaviors to protect and improve water quality.
Commercial Activities — working with commercial businesses to incorporate BMPs in
their operations to reduce the potential for pollutants to leave their site in urban runoff
or storm water.
Development and Redevelopment Activities — working with developers to implement
short and long -term BMPs during construction and post- construction to reduce the
impacts of development on water quality.
The City's storm water program will continue to evolve with time. The City looks forward to
working in partnership with the RWQCB during the implementation of this JURMP and making
modifications as necessary to improve the program. The JURMP will be reevaluated annually
and modifications will be reported in the required Annual Report.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program.
General Plan Policies by Element:
INTRODUCTION TO THE GENERAL PLAN
Leucadia
Pg. 1 -7
Drainage Problems - Significant drainage problems exist along such streets as Vulcan Avenue, Hymettus
Street, Orpheus Street, and Union Street. These streets lack storm drain systems and are not fully
curbed to control runoff within the improved section of the street.
Batiquitos Lagoon Upland - A portion of the Batiquitos Lagoon upland and watershed lies within the
community. Strict development and grading controls are important in avoiding sedimentation from
development. Protective regulations within the watershed and viewshed for this important environmental
feature are essential.
New Encinitas
Pg. 1 -8
San Elijo Lagoon - The southern portion of the community is located in the lagoon's upland /watershed
area. Development in these areas may cause siltation of the lagoon unless it is controlled.
Bluff /Slope Protection- Some inland slopes in the community contain important biotic habitat areas which
need to be preserved and buffered from development. Some of these areas also have geologic stability
problems.
Cardiff
Pg. 1 -9
Railroad Right -of -Way - The Santa Fe right -of -way may offer opportunities for erosion control and
plantings which protect and enhance ocean /scenic coastal area views. The limited number of railroad
crossings acts as a deterrent to east -west pedestrian and vehicular movement. This obstacle to
movement results in uncontrolled pedestrian crossings of the track wherever it is convenient. The
right -of -way represents a significant source of noise, but is also a potentially valuable area for the
establishment of a riding /hiking /bicycling path for north -south movement near the coast and a landscaped
buffer adjacent to the major north -south streets circulation roadways, Hwy 101 and Vulcan Avenue.
Enhancement of the rail corridor, including the possible depression of the track grade to address these
issues, is warranted.
Pg. 1 -10
San Elijo Lagoon - The lagoon is an environmentally sensitive area of natural open space. It contains
important plant and animal habitat areas, and it has been the recipient of both contamination and siltation
resulting from runoff within its drainage basin. The lagoon has also been an area of illegal dumping of
debris and a location for commercial billboards; yet it is an important public recreational area which
should be accessible. Buffering of the lagoon from adjacent development is essential, as is protection of
the watershed and viewshed.

San Elijo Lagoon - The southwestern portion of the community contains the easterly portion of San Elijo
Lagoon and its upland /watershed. Protection of the lagoon habitats through buffering from development
and other measures is essential.
LAND USE ELEMENT
Pg. LU -1
INTRODUCTION TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT
Purpose of this Element
The Land Use Element is the single most important element of this General Plan in that it serves as a
guide for future development in the City. The Land Use Element also affects a number of key issues that
are addressed in the remaining elements. For example, land use policies have a direct bearing on the
local system of streets and roadways which are planned for in the Circulation Element. Housing issues
and needs identified in the Housing Element are linked to land use policies for both existing and future
residential development. Even issues related to safety, noise, and the environment are directly related to
the policies contained in this element. The Land Use Technical Report provides background information
and acts as a supporting document for the Element.
The City seeks to accomplish the following with the implementation of the goals and policies in this
Element:
The establishment of a balanced and functional mix of development consistent with the long -range goals,
objectives, and values of the City;
Providing guidance for both public and private investments indicating where new development is
permitted and the nature, density, and intensity of that development;
The identification of opportunities for the redevelopment and new development in the City, as well as any
constraints that might affect this development;
The reduction of loss of life, injury, and property damage that might result from flooding, seismic hazards
and other natural and man -made hazards that need to be considered in future land use planning and
decision making;
The preservation of those undeveloped portions of the City that are of value to the residents due to the
natural and cultural resources found there; and
The preservation and maintenance of the existing character of the five individual communities that
comprise the City.
Through the use of text and diagrams, the Encinitas Land Use Element establishes clear and logical
patterns of land use as well as standards for new development. The single most important feature of this
element is the Land Use Policy map which indicates the location, density, and intensity of development
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 2
for all land uses Citywide. In addition, the goals and policies contained in this Element provide a
constitutional framework for future land use planning and decision making in the City.
Pg. LU-4
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES
The goals and policies contained in the Land Use Element are concerned
with both preserving the integrity of the five individual communities that make up the City while ensuring
that future development is sensitive to the environment and any constraints that might be present. While
new development can be beneficial to a city, future growth must be managed in a sensible and rational
manner. Adequate infrastructure and services must be available to meet any future demand to ensure
that the existing levels of service are maintained. Any environmental factors, such as habitat sensitivity,
cultural and historic resources, flood hazards, and topography need to be considered before development
occurs.
The major issues facing the City are underscored in the following policies that emphasize the need for
future development to be sensitive to the existing residents, homes and businesses, and the natural
environment.
POLICY 2.7: Implement mechanisms to ensure the preservation of significant environmental areas of the
City. These mechanisms might include establishing development standards encouraging developers to
maximize open space, transfers of development rights (TDR's), land banking, purchase, etc. (Coastal
Act/30240)
POLICY 2.8: Development shall not be permitted where it will result in significant degradation of ground,
surface, or ocean water quality, or where it will result in significant increased risk of sewage overflows,
spills, or similar accidents. (Coastal Act/30231)
( GOAL 8: Environmentally and topographically sensitive and constrained areas within the City shall be
preserved to the greatest extent possible to minimize the risks associated with development in these
areas. (Coastal Act/30240/30253) Goal 8 amended 5 /11/95 (Reso. 95 -32)
POLICY 8.2: Development within coastal and flood plain areas identified in the Land Use and Resource
Management Elements must be limited, designed to minimize hazards associated with development in
these areas, and to preserve area resources. Within the floodway, channelizations, dams, or other
substantial alterations of rivers and streams shall incorporate the best mitigation measures feasible, and
be limited to necessary water supply projects, flood control projects where no other method for protecting
existing public or private structures is feasible and where such protection is necessary for public safety or
to protect existing development, and other development where the primary function is the improvement of
fish and wildlife habitats. No development shall occur in the 100 -year Floodplain that is not consistent and
compatible with the associated flood hazard. Only uses which are safe and compatible with periodic
flooding and inundation shall be considered, such as stables, plant nurseries, a minimum intrusion of open
parking, some forms of agriculture, and open space preservation, as appropriate under zoning, and
subject to applicable environmental review and consistency with other policies of this Plan. No grading or
fill activity other than the minimum necessary to accommodate those uses found safe and compatible
shall be allowed. Such grading shall not significantly redirect or impede flood flows or require floodway
modifications. Exceptions from these limitations may be made to allow the following:
a. Minimum private development (defined as one dwelling unit per legal parcel under residential
zoning, and an equivalent extent of development under non - residential zoning) only upon a finding that
strict application thereof would preclude a minimum use of the property.
b. Development of circulation element roads, other necessary public facilities, flood control projects
where no feasible method for protecting existing public or private structures exists and where such
protection is necessary for public safety or to protect existing development, and other development which
( has as its objective the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat.
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 3
C. Limited reconfiguration of the flood plain in previously degraded areas provided it is determined
by the City that the reconfiguration of the flood plain is incidental to the improvement of an overall storm
water system and that the reconfigured storm water system is substantially based on natural channels
with vegetation to accommodate storm water management. This is applicable to the El Camino Real
creek corridor draining into Encinitas Creek.
These exceptions shall be allowed only to the extent that no other feasible alternatives exist and minimum
disruption to the natural floodplain environment is made. The City shall not approve subdivisions or
boundary line adjustments which would allow increased impacts for development in 100 -year floodplains.
For specific policy provisions regarding wetlands which may be associated with floodplains, refer to
Resource Management Element Policy 10.6. (Coastal Act/30253) Policy 8.2 amended 1130191, 9121194
(Reso. 94 -29) and 5111195 (Reso. 95-32)
POLICY 8.3: Residential- development on land that has physical constraints shall exclude or discount
areas subject to specified constraints from density allowance. Portions of development sites subject to
the following constraints shall be excluded from the net lot area used to figure density: floodplains,
beaches, permanent bodies of water, significant wetlands, major utility easements, railroad track beds or
rights -of -way, and rights -of -way and easements for public /private streets and roads. The remaining net lot
area shall then be calculated for density allowance, based on the assigned land use category density
range, subject to the following discounts based on site slope:
Portions of site 0 -25% slope - 100% density;
Portions of site 25-40% slope - approximately 50% density allowance;
Portions of site 40 %+ slope - no density allowance.
Density allowance shall be limited to the mid -point of the land use category range, as specified by the
zoning code, unless findings can be made that the proposed project excels in design excellence and /or
provides extraordinary community benefits. Upon such findings, up to the maximum density level of the
range may be allowed. In no case shall less than one dwelling per legal lot be allowed.
POLICY 8.5: The Special Study Overlay designation shall be applied to lands which, due to their sensitive
nature, should only be developed with consideration of specific constraints and features related to
drainage courses, bluffs, slopes, geology and soils, biotic habitat, viewsheds and vistas, and cultural
resources. Development within the overlay area shall be reviewed and approved in accordance with
criteria and standards which protect coastal and inland resources. (Coastal Act/30240/30253)
POLICY 8.6: Significant natural features shall be preserved and incorporated into all development. Such
features may include bluffs, rock outcroppings, natural drainage courses, wetland and riparian areas,
steep topography, trees, and views. (Coastal Act/30240/30250/30251)
POLICY 8.10: Ecological Resource /Open space /Parks is a category intended to be applied to both active
and passive parklands; lagoons; wetland habitat areas and their adjacent buffers; and other areas of
significant environmental quality or public resource value. Lands in the Ecological Resource /Open
space /Parks category, other than public parks, and similar areas for active recreation, will be ' limited to
uses and activities related to habitat enhancement; educational and scientific nature study; passive
recreation which will have no significant adverse impact on habitat values; and, aquaculture having no
significant adverse effect or negative visual impact on natural processes or scenic quality. All areas
possessing wetland resource values, including coastal salt marsh and freshwater marsh habitat types,
shall be protected by appropriate buffers. Buffer zones sufficient to protect wetlands shall generally be
minimum 100 feet in width, and buffer zones to protect riparian areas shall generally be minimum 50 feet
in width, unless a use or development proposal demonstrates that a smaller buffer will protect the
resources of the wetland /riparian area based on site - specific information, including but not limited to, the
type and size of the development and /or proposed mitigation (such as planting of vegetation) which will
also achieve the purposes of the buffer. The buffer should be measured landward from the wetland or
riparian area. Maps and supplemental information submitted as part of the application should be used to
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 4
specifically determine these boundaries. The California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service shall be consulted in such buffer determinations and their comments shall be
�. accorded great weight.
Development permitted in wetland and riparian buffer areas shall be limited to access paths, passive
recreational uses, fences and similar improvements necessary to protect the wetland or riparian resource,
and shall be restricted to the upper or landward half of the buffer. Wetland /riparian areas and their
associated buffers shall be permanently protected from development through the application of an open
space easement or other suitable instrument. Developments shall be located and designed so as not to
contribute to increased sediment loading of the wetland /riparian area, cause disturbances to its fish and
wildlife values, or otherwise impair the functional capacity of the resource. Exceptions from this policy for
intrusion of development into wetland or riparian areas and their associated buffers shall only be
considered as specified in Resource Management Policy 10.6. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 8.11: The property located at the southeast quadrant of El Camino Real and Olivenhain Road
shall be designated as a Specific Plan area, and development will be allowed only through prior approval
of a development plan for the entire area as described below.
The development plan shall implement the land uses generally shown on the Land Use Policy
Map:
Residential for the non - constrained portions of the upper mesa east of El Camino Real (having access
from Village Park area).
Light industrial for the non - constrained portions of the lower properties having access off of El Camino
Real or Olivenhain Road.
Open Space for all areas constrained as flood plain, wetlands and wetland buffer areas, biological
resource areas, steep topography and major transmission lines, as determined below.
The development plan shall establish specific boundaries between the developable portions of the area
and constrained open space lands, through detailed site studies to determine the exact extent of the
constraints, and the application of the policies of the General Plan to determine what, if any,
encroachment into those constrained areas is to be allowed. Once so determined, the constrained
floodplain, wetland and buffer, biological resource and steep topography open space lands shall be
required under the Specific Plan to be protected in their natural condition.
GOAL 9: Preserve the existence of present natural open spaces, slopes, bluffs, lagoon areas, and
maintain the sense of spaciousness and semirural living within the 1 -5 View Corridor and within other view
corridors, scenic highways and vista /view sheds as identified in the Resource Management Element.
(Coastal Act/30240/30251)
POLICY 9.1: Encourage and preserve low- density residential zoning within 1 -5 Corridor while preserving
the best natural features and avoiding the creation of a totally urbanized landscape and maintain 1 -5
Interchange areas to conform to the specifications of this overall goal. The City will develop an 1 -5 view
corridor plan to implement this policy. (Coastal Act/30240/30251)
POLICY 9.2: Encourage retention of buffer zones such as natural vegetation or earth barriers, bluffs, and
canyons to protect adjacent areas of freeway corridor from pollutants of noise, exhaust, and light.
(Coastal Act/30240/30251)
Pg. LU -38
Ecological Resource /Open space /Parks
This land use designation includes all land that has been permanently set aside for the public's use or for
the preservation of areas deemed ecologically significant. Much of this land within this category is within
the public domain. Some limited private uses, ancillary commercial uses, which serve a public recreation
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 5
related need may be allowed. This category includes public parks (both County, City and State operated),
the beaches, wilderness preserves, San Elijo Lagoon, the major SDG &E transmission corridors, and land
that will remain undeveloped due to the presence of severe constraints or significant ecological resources
that are owned or controlled by public agencies. In coastal zone ecological resource areas designated
Ecological Resource /Open space /Parks, no private or commercial uses shall be permitted, except for
small concessions in conjunction with existing or permitted interpretive and /or nature centers, aquacultural
operations and restoration projects. Paragraph amended 5/11/95 (Reso. 95 -32)
Pg. LU-45
Special Study Overlay
This overlay designation may be applied to a number of land use categories including residential,
commercial and industrial. The Special Study Overlay designation will be used for preserving
environmentally significant areas, as well as indicate those areas where development standards will be
more stringent to minimize potential hazards to future development.
The corresponding overlay zones contained in the City's Zoning Ordinance include the Coastal Bluff
Overlay Zone district (CBO), Hillside /Inland Bluff Overlay Zone district (H /IBO), Flood Plain Overlay Zone
district (FPO), Cultural/ Natural Resource Overlay Zone district (CNRO), Agricultural Overlay Zone district
(AGO) and Scenic/Visual Corridor Overlay Zone district (S/VCO).
Pg. LU -74
LAND USE PLAN: COMMUNITY OF OLIVENHAIN
Distribution of Land Use-
Olivenhain has the largest land area of the five of Land Use communities while at the same time, has the
lowest residential densities. Land use policy for Olivenhain will be effective in preserving the rural "feeling
of country" character that is typical of the community. The main feature of the land use policy for this
community is to permit the development of privately -owned properties while ensuring that significant
ecological areas are preserved.
The San Elijo Lagoon serves as the southernmost boundary of the community and both the lagoon and
the surrounding wetland areas are designated Ecological Resource in recognition of the lagoon's
protected status. The boundaries of this designation correspond with those of the San Elijo County Park.
Much of the Olivenhain community includes areas that have steep topography, areas subject to periodic
flooding, and areas containing significant environmental concerns. Virtually all of those properties
adjacent to Escondido Creek and its tributaries are included within the Special Studies Overlay. The
purpose of the Special Studies Overlay, in this instance, is to both preserve the riparian habitats along the
creeks and to ensure that development is sensitive to the periodic flooding that occurs along these
creeks. Densities for new residential development within this floodplain area is limited to one (1) dwelling
unit per eight (8) acres.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
POLICY 1.11: Construct roads following the natural contours to minimize cuts and fills; avoid grid street
patterns when feasible.
POLICY 1.19: The City will provide for adequate levels of maintenance of all improved components of
the circulation system, such as roadways, sidewalks, bicycle facilities, roadway drainage systems,
pedestrian, recreational trails, bicycle trails and facilities.
POLICY 2.13: Encourage landscaped medians and parkways on all roadways where practical.
POLICY 2.14: Develop rural, semi - rural, and urban standards and criteria for private streets including a
mechanism for on -going maintenance.
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 6
POLICY 2.16: Develop a program to improve alleyways with paving and drainage improvements.
POLICY 2.20: When major roads must pass through neighborhoods, large right -of -way widths should be
acquired to allow for landscaping, trails, etc. to offset and minimize disruption to the community.
POLICY 2.22: To avoid impacts of the expansion and improvement of Manchester Avenue on the San
Elijo Lagoon and its environmental resources, right -of -way dedication and widening shall occur to the
north, away from the lagoon, rather than toward the lagoon; and the use of fill shall be prohibited. The
design of the Manchester /1 -5 interchange shall also avoid the use of fill and locate structures as far
north as possible to avoid impacts on the lagoon. When design and improvement of Manchester Avenue
and the interchange are undertaken, the County Department of Parks and Recreation, the State
Department of Fish and Game, the Coastal Commission and others will be notified and given the
opportunity to participate in the design and environmental review process.
PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT
GOAL 1: Public health and safety will be considered in future Land Use Planning (Coastal Act/30253)
POLICY 1.1: Development and grading or filling in drainage courses, floodways and floodplains shall be
prohibited except as provided by Land Use Element Policy 8.2. An exception may be made upon the
finding that strict application of this policy would preclude any reasonable use of property (one dwelling
unit per legal parcel.) Exceptions may also be made for development of circulation element roads;
necessary water supply projects; flood control projects where no other method for protecting existing
structures in the floodplain is feasible and where such protection is necessary for public safety or to
protect existing development; developments where the primary function is the improvement of fish and
wildlife habitat; and other vital public facilities, but only to the extent that no other feasible alternatives
exist, and minimum disruption to the natural floodplain, floodway or drainage course is made. When
flood /drainage improvements are warranted, require developers to mitigate flood hazards in those areas
identified as being subject to periodic flooding prior to actual development.
POLICY 1.2: Restrict development in those areas where slope exceeds 25% as specified in the
Hillside /Inland Bluff overlay zone regulations of the zoning code. Encroachment into slopes as detailed in
the Hillside /Inland Bluff overlay may range from 0 percent to a maximum of 20 percent, based on a sliding
scale of encroachment allowances reflective of the amount of the property within steep slopes, upon the
discretionary judgement that there is no feasible alternative siting or design which eliminates or
substantially reduces the need for such encroachment, and it is found that the bulk and scale of the
proposed structure has been minimized to the greatest extent feasible and such encroachment is
necessary for minimum site development and that the maximum contiguous area of sensitive slopes shall
be preserved. Within the Coastal Zone and for the purposes of this section, "encroachment' shall
constitute any activity which involves grading, construction, placement of structures or materials, paving,
removal of native vegetation including clear- cutting for brush management purposes, or other operations
which would render the area incapable of supporting native vegetation or being used as wildlife habitat.
Modification from this policy may be made upon the finding that strict application of this policy would
preclude any reasonable use of property (one dwelling unit per legal parcel). Exceptions may also be
made for development of circulation element roads, local public streets or private roads and driveways
which are necessary for access to the more developable portions of a site on slopes of less than 25%
grade, and other vital public facilities, but only to the extent that no other feasible alternatives exist, and
minimum disruption to the natural slope is made. Policy 1.2 amended 5111195 (Reso. 95-32)
POLICY 1.3: The City will rely on the Coastal Bluff and Hillside /Inland Bluff Overlay Zones to prevent
future development or redevelopment that will represent a hazard to its owners or occupants, and which
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 7
may require structural measures to prevent destructive erosion or collapse. (Coastal
Act/30240/30251 /30253)
POLICY 1.4: Develop a master plan for drainage and flood control. (Coastal Act/30236)
POLICY 1.5: Where significant irrigated slopes are included in industrial, commercial, and higher density
residential development, their required maintenance shall be funded by a landscape maintenance
assessment district. (Coastal Act/30251/30240)
POLICY 1.6: The City shall provide for the reduction of unnatural causes of bluff erosion, as detailed in
the Zoning Code, by:
a. Only permitting public access stairways and no private stairways, and otherwise
discouraging climbing upon and defacement of the bluff face;
b. Improving local drainage systems to divert surface water away from the bluff;
C. Studying the underground water system and looking for potential solution to bluff
instability/erosion caused by such water;
d. Reducing the infusion of ground water from domestic sources through, among other
actions, requiring the removal of existing irrigation systems within forty feet of the bluff edge
and prohibiting the installation of such systems in new development;
e. Permitting pursuant to the Coastal Bluff Overlay Zone, bluff repair and erosion control
measures on the face and at the top of the bluff that are necessary to repair human - caused
damage to the bluff, and to retard erosion which may be caused or accelerated by
land -based forces such as surface drainage or ground water seepage, providing that no
alteration of the natural character of the bluff shall result from such measures, where such
measures are designed to minimize encroachment onto beach areas through an alignment
at and parallel to the toe of the coastal bluff, where such measures receive coloring and
other exterior treatments and provided that such measures shall be permitted only when
required to serve coastal- dependent uses or to protect existing principal structures or public
beaches in danger from erosion, and when designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse
impacts on local shoreline sand supply; and
f. Requiring new structures and improvements to existing structures to be set back 25 feet
from the inland blufftop edge, and 40 feet from coastal blufftop edge with exceptions to
allow a minimum coastal blufftop setback of no less than 25 feet. For all development
proposed on coastal blufftops, a site - specific geotechnical report shall be required. The
report shall indicate that the coastal blufftop setback will not result in risk of foundation
damage resulting from bluff erosion or retreat to the principal structure within its economic
life and with other engineering evidence to justify the coastal blufftop setback.
On coastal bluffs, exceptions to allow a minimum setback of no less than 25 feet shall be limited
to additions or expansions to existing principal structures which are already located seaward of the 40
foot coastal blufftop setback, provided the proposed addition or expansion is located no further seaward
than the existing principal structure, is set back a minimum of 25 feet from the coastal blufftop edge, and
the applicant agrees to remove the proposed addition or expansion, either in part or entirely, should it
become threatened in the future.
In all cases, all new construction shall be specifically designed and constructed such that it could
be removed in the event of endangerment and the applicant shall agree to participate in any
comprehensive plan adopted by the City to address coastal bluff recession and shoreline erosion
problems in the City.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
Pg. RM -3b
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES
The goals and supporting policies included in this Element are concerned with a diverse range of
issue and policy areas. A number of goals and policies focus on preserving significant habitats in
the Planning Area including habitats containing rare or endangered plant and animal species.
Another set of policies underscore the importance of maintaining agricultural production in the City
as long as it is economically feasible to do so. The maintenance of air and water quality is
emphasized in a number of goals and policies that support ongoing programs that are being
undertaken to improve the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink. The preservation of
important viewsheds within the Planning Area is emphasized in policies aimed primarily at
preserving views in the coastal zone as well as providing for scenic highways. Finally, policies that
emphasize the need for development practices to be sensitive to the environment are included in
the final set of policies.
Pg. RM -4
Quality of Water and Groundwater Resources
One of the most important issues facing the State of California concerns the continued polluting of the
State's groundwater. Agricultural practices, illegal dumping of toxic chemicals, urban stormwater, and
inadequate protection against the leaching taking place in landfills are a few of the many sources
contributing to this pollution. Increased development has also led to a corresponding decline in
groundwater reserves. Unfortunately, water conservation measures are practiced on a widespread basis
only during periods of prolonged drought. If the State's water resources are to be preserved, these water
conservation practices need to be implemented at all times.
GOAL 1. The City will conserve, protect, and enhance the water resources in the Planning Area.(Coastal
Act/30231)
POLICY 1.6: Phase out the use of water softeners which utilize salt in the water - softening process
to prevent continued degradation of the water. (Coastal Act/30231)
POLICY 1.8: The City will achieve and maintain secondary sewage treatment through available
means such as development fees, user fees, bond issues, etc. to prevent sewage pollution into the
lagoons, ocean waters, or ground waters. (Coastal Act/30231)
POLICY 1.10: Promote the use of water efficient sprinkling and gardening systems to include
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 9
ordinances and technology to encourage drought tolerant plants.
POLICY 1.11: If a development can be connected to the sewer system, the system must have the
capacity to handle the additional load of the proposed project.
POLICY 1.12: Development within unsewered areas shall only be allowed after testing proves that
septic systems would not create potential pollution. All development within unsewered areas shall
be limited to parcels of at least one (1) acre.
GOAL 2: The City shall make every effort to improve ocean water quality. (Coastal Act/30231)
POLICY 2.1: In that ocean water quality conditions are of utmost importance, the City shall
aggressively pursue the elimination of all forms of potential unacceptable pollution that threatens
marine or human health. (Coastal Act/30230/30231)
POLICY 2.2: In that the San Elijo ocean wastewater outfall lies within the jurisdiction of the City
and the Encina outfall lies north of the City, the City shall encourage the highest feasible level of
treatment of said wastewater prior to entering the outfalls and continually encourage the reduction
of volume of wastewater to said outfalls by this City and other jurisdictions. (Coastal Act/30230/30231)
POLICY 2.3: To minimize harmful pollutants from entering the ocean environment from lagoons, streams,
storm drains and other waterways containing potential contaminants, the City shall mandate the reduction
or elimination of contaminants entering all such waterways; pursue measures to monitor the quality of
such contaminated waterways, and pursue prosecution of intentional and grossly negligent polluters of
such waterways., (Coastal Act/30230/30231/30233)
GOAL 9: The City will encourage the abundant use of natural and drought tolerant landscaping in new
development and preserve natural vegetation, as much as possible, in undeveloped areas. (Coastal
Act/30240/30251)
POLICY 9.2: All drainage courses should be maintained in natural or semi - natural vegetation utilizing
existing topography as opposed to concrete ditches or pipes. (Coastal Act/30231/30240)
POLICY 9.3: Where possible, bridges should be used in lieu of pipes, box culverts, or underground
channels to preserve the integrity of the natural stream courses, in keeping with community character in
the Planning Area. (Coastal Act/30231/30240)
POLICY 9.4: Encourage and adopt standards for the use of drought tolerant and /or natural landscaping
and efficient irrigation systems throughout the City. (Coastal Act/30231/30240)
POLICY 9.8: Brush clearing and grading for agricultural, construction and non - construction
purposes shall be subject to City review. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 9.9: The City shall develop and implement a program to preserve natural drainage courses
and their associated vegetation. (Coastal Act/30240)
Pg. RM -16
Preservation of Environmentally Sensitive Habitats
A number of areas within the City and the sphere of influence contain habitats, that once lost, cannot be
replaced. Many of these areas contain plant and animal species that are unique to the area. Other
habitats are valued by the community for their aesthetic or environmental value. The City seeks to
establish a balance between new development and the maintenance and preservation of these valuable
resources. The following policies contain guidelines and strategies aimed at preserving these
environmentally significant areas and minimizing potentially adverse impacts from new development.
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 10
GOAL 10: The City will preserve the integrity, function, productivity, and long term viability of
environmentally sensitive habitats throughout the City, including kelp -beds, ocean recreational areas,
( coastal water, beaches, lagoons and their up- lands, riparian areas, coastal strand areas, coastal sage
scrub and coastal mixed chaparral habitats. (Coastal Act/30230130231/30240)
POLICY 10.1: The City will minimize development impacts on coastal mixed chaparral and coastal sage
scrub environmentally sensitive habitats by preserving within the inland bluff and hillside systems, all
native vegetation on natural slopes of 25% grade and over other than manufactured slopes. A deviation
from this policy may be permitted only upon a finding that strict application thereof would preclude any
reasonable use of the property (one dwelling unit per lot). This policy shall not apply to construction of
POLICY 10.4: The City will develop a program to acquire or preserve the entire undeveloped riparian
corridor within the City that drains into the San Elijo Lagoon and Batiquitos Lagoon. Methods of financing
acquisition may include, but are not limited to, use of available State and Federal grants for such purpose;
the application of developer or mitigation fees specifically for open space presentation; and creations of a
non - profit or joint - powers agency for lagoon and drainage sheds acquisition and management. (Coastal
Act/30231 /30240)
POLICY 10.5: The City will control development design on Coastal Mixed Chaparral and Coastal Sage
Scrub environmentally sensitive habitats by including all parcels containing concentrations of these
habitats within the Special Study Overlay designation. The following guidelines will be used to evaluate
projects for approval.
- conservation of as much existing contiguous area of Coastal Mixed Chaparral or
Coastal Sage Scrub as feasible while protecting the remaining areas from highly impacting uses;
minimize fragmentation or separation of existing contiguous natural areas;
connection of existing natural areas with each other or other open space areas adjacent
to maintain local wildlife movement corridors;
maintenance of the broadest possible configuration of natural habitat area to aid
dispersal of organisms within the habitat;
where appropriate, based on community character and design, clustering of
residential or other uses near the edges of the natural areas rather than dispersing such
uses within the natural areas;
where significant, yet isolated habitat areas exist, development shall be designed to
preserve and protect them;
conservation of the widest variety of physical and vegetational conditions on site to
maintain the highest habitat diversity;
design of development, with adjacent uses given consideration, to maximize
conformance to these guidelines; and
preservation of rare and endangered species on site rather than by transplantation off
site. (Coastal Act/30240/30250)
In addition, all new development shall be designed to be consistent with multi- species and multi- habitat
preservation goals and requirements as established in the statewide Natural Communities Conservation
Planning (NCCP) Act. Compliance with these goals and requirements shall be implemented in
consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and
Game. Policy 10.5 amended 5111195 (Reso. 95-32)
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 11
POLICY 10.6: The City shall preserve and protect wetlands within the City's planning area. "Wetlands"
shall be defined and delineated consistent with the definitions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. (
Army Corps of Engineers, the Coastal Act and the Coastal Commission Regulations, as applicable, and
shall include, but not be limited to, all lands which are transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems
where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water.
POLICY 10.7: The City will urge the State to take appropriate preservation measures relative to Coastal
Strand Dune habitat in its development of State beach areas. (Coastal Act/30240)
There shall be no net loss of wetland acreage or resource value as a result of land use or development,
and the City's goal is to realize a net gain in acreage and value when ever possible.
Within the Coastal Zone, the diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands, estuaries, and
lakes shall be permitted where there is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative, and where
feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and shall be
limited to the following newly permitted uses and activities:
a. Incidental public service projects.
b. Mineral extraction, including sand for restoring beaches, except in environmentally
sensitive areas.
C. Restoration purposes.
Nature study, aquaculture, or other similar resource dependent activities.
Identification of wetland acreage and resource value shall precede any consideration of use or
development on sites where wetlands are present or suspected. With the exception of development for
the primary purpose of the improvement of wetland resource value, all public and private use and
development proposals which would intrude into, reduce the area of, or reduce the resource value of
wetlands shall be subject to alternatives and mitigation analyses consistent with Federal E.P.A 404(b)(1)
findings and procedures under the U.S. Army Corps permit process. Practicable project and site
development alternatives which involve no wetland intrusion or impact shall be preferred over alternatives
which involve intrusion or impact. Wetland mitigation, replacement or compensation shall not be
used to offset impacts or intrusion avoidable through other practicable project or site development
alternatives. When wetland intrusion or impact is unavoidable, replacement of the lost wetland shall be
required through the creation of new wetland of the same type lost, at a ratio determined by regulatory
agencies with authority over wetland resources, but in any case at a ratio of greater than one acre
provided for each acre impacted so as to result in a net gain. Replacement of wetland on -site or
adjacent, within the same wetland system, shall be given preference over replacement off -site or within
a different system.
The City shall also control use and development in surrounding areas of influence to wetlands with the
application of buffer zones. At a minimum, 100 -foot wide buffers shall be provided upland of salt water
wetlands, and 50 -foot wide buffers shall be provided upland of riparian wetlands. Unless otherwise
specified in this plan, use and development within buffer areas shall be limited to minor passive
recreational uses with fencing, desiltation or erosion control facilities, or other improvements deemed
necessary to protect the habitat, to be located in the upper (upland) half of the buffer area when feasible.
All wetlands and buffers identified and resulting from development and use approval shall be permanently
conserved or protected through the application of an open space easement or other suitable device.
The City shall not approve subdivisions or boundary line adjustments which would allow increased
impacts from development in wetlands or wetland buffers. (Coastal Act/30231) Policy 10.6 amended
1130191 and 5111195 (Reso. 95-32)
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 12
POLICY 10.8: The City will investigate the establishment of one or more preserves for the preservation of
endangered plant species, such as the Encinitas Baccharis, of sufficient size to ensure perpetuation of
the species. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 10.9: The City will encourage the preservation and the function of San Elijo Lagoon and
Batiquitos Lagoon and their adjacent uplands as viable wetlands, ecosystems and habitat for resident and
migratory wildlife, by prohibiting actions (subject to the detailed provisions of RM policy 10.6) which:
- involve wetland fill or increased sedimentation
into wetlands;
- adversely decrease stream flow into the wetlands;
- reduce tidal interchange;
- reduce internal water circulation; or
- adversely affect existing wildlife habitats. (Coastal Act/30231)
POLICY 10.10: The City will encourage and cooperate with other responsible agencies to plan and
implement an integrated management plan for the long -term conservation and restoration of wetlands
resources at San Elijo Lagoon (and where it applies, Batiquitos Lagoon), Escondido and Encinitas Creeks
and their significant upstream feeder creeks, according to the following guidelines:
Plans for the west, central and eastern basins should be treated as internal parts of the whole;
The plan should be implemented in phases so that discreet physical alterations can be performed
as funds become available, and so that the effects of changes can be evaluated at each stage, and
recognizing the experimental basis of wetland manipulations;
Wildlife corridors between the wetland shoreline
and important upland areas and upstream riparian areas should be maintained and enhanced;
Adequate buffer zones should be utilized when
development occurs adjacent to the floodplain and sensitive habitats; 100 foot wide buffers should be
provided adjacent to all identified wetlands, and 50 foot wide buffers should be provided adjacent to
riparian areas. In some cases, smaller buffers may be appropriate, when conditions of the site as
demonstrated in a site specific biological survey, the nature of the proposed development, etc., show that
a smaller buffer would provide adequate protection; and when the Department of Fish and Game has
been consulted and their comments have been accorded great weight.
- Management plans should implement adopted State and Federal wildlife management plans (i.e.,
California Least Tern Recovery Plan, etc.);
Human uses of the wetland and adjacent areas should be compatible with the primary use o f the
wetland as a natural value;
Passive recreational activity at the lagoons should be encouraged to the extent there are no
substantial adverse impacts to wildlife;
There should be limited human access to the wetland shoreline since the immediate wetland
shoreline and adjacent shallows are the most important sensitive wildlife habitat;
Boating and other water surface activities should not be allowed in significant wildlife habitat
areas, particularly in the central and east basins of the San Elijo .Lagoon and parts of the west basin
supporting significant waterbird populations;
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 13
The plan should include a provision for sediment catch basins or other control devices outside the
wetland area and should allow for periodic removal of recently accumulated sediment from the lagoon
until a long -range sediment control plan is operational;
- Plans should attempt to optimize the habitat for species already known to use the wetlands, as
well as certain "featured" species recognized as depleted, rare, or endangered (California Least Tern,
Belding's Savannah Sparrow, Snowy Plover, and other species recommended by wildlife management
agencies) to the extent feasible;
- The integrity of the existing natural system (in particular, topography, hydrology, and vegetative
cover) should not be disturbed, except as required to restore internal lagoon water circulation, tidal
flushing, and plant habitat improvements;
Adequate monitoring of chemical, physical and biological changes should be carried out for
periodic re- evaluation of the management plan and maintenance of optimal conditions;
Rare and significant habitats such as coastal strand (dunes), salt flats and fresh water ponds
existing in and around the lagoon should not be reduced or degraded;
- High priority shall be given to actions which serve to remove impediments to internal lagoon water
circulation (except where such areas are significant wildlife habitats in their own right) and improving tidal
flow with the ocean;
It shall be a long -range goal to remove the flow blockage such as that caused by existing fills for
transportation facilities and by existing dikes to the extent necessary to create an adequate internal water
circulation system. (Coastal Act/30231/30233)
POLICY 10.11: In acting to maintain and, where feasible, restore the biological productivity and quality of
San Elijo Lagoon, the City will limit alterations and uses to minor public facilities; restorative measures;
nature study; passive, non - degrading recreational activities; and facilities necessarily adjunct aquaculture
uses. No recreational boating facilities will be permitted in San Elijo Lagoon. Coastal- dependent
developments (i.e., utility facilities, boating facilities, etc.) shall not be sited in the wetland area (San Elijo
Lagoon and contiguous wetlands). (Coastal Act/30231)
Pg. RM -26
Environmental Impacts from New Development
NNew development in the City, as has already been pointed out, can have significant adverse affects on
adjacent areas. Many of these impacts arise from activities related to construction of new projects,
especially when there is a significant amount of grading and site preparation involved. Problems
associated with certain construction practices include the build -up of sediment in watercourses and lakes
and erosion. The following policies identify strategies the City intends to implement to reduce the affects
of erosion and sedimentation from new development.
GOAL 14: The City shall stringently control erosion and sedimentation from land use and development to
avoid environmental degradation of lagoons and other sensitive biological habitat, preserve public
resources and avoid the costs of dealing with repair and sedimentation removal. (Coastal
Act/30231 /30240/30250/30253)
POLICY 14.1: The best strategy to reduce erosion and sedimentation is to reduce to the maximum extent
feasible, grading and removal of vegetation. It is the policy of the City that, in any land use and
development, grading and vegetation removal shall be limited to the minimum necessary. (Coastal
Act/30240/30250)
POLICY 14.2: The City shall develop a comprehensive program to control sedimentation and erosion.
(Coastal Act/30233/30240)
i
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 14
POLICY 14.3: The City will reduce the rate of sedimentation of the lagoons by requiring procedures for
controlling runoff and erosion associated with upland grading and development based on a minimum
10 -year, six -hour storm event. The City shall provide regulations for the use of sedimentation basins and
the potential transfer of sediment as beach replenishment (if of an acceptable material). (Coastal
Act/30250/30251)
POLICY 14.4: Revegetation and appropriate landscaping of all areas graded and scraped of vegetative
cover shall be required with land use and development. Plantings, hydroseeding, and irrigation systems
used shall be selected on the bases of minimizing erosion and conserving water. (Coastal Act/30251)
POLICY 14.5: To minimize erosion and allow sedimentation control systems to work, no grading or
vegetation removal shall be allowed to occur during the wet season, October 1 - April 15, without all
systems and devices per an approved erosion control plan and program being in place. During other
times of the year such systems shall be provided and operative as required by a comprehensive City
erosion control ordinance. No grading shall occur during the rainy season within the Special Study
Overlay area, or in areas upland of sensitive areas including lagoons, floodplains, riparian or wetland
habitat areas, unless by site - specific determination, the grading would not be occurring on sensitive
slopes, in floodplain areas or upland of floodplains, where sedimentation might occur in other sensitive
habitat areas. Then, if grading is determined to be allowable, all necessary erosion control devices,
including sedimentation basins, must be in place, and shall be monitored and maintained throughout the
grading period. (Coastal Act/30251)
POLICY 14.6: To achieve the ends of erosion control, a comprehensive erosion control plan shall be
required with final building permit and improvement plans, subject to review and approval prior to
commencement of grading and construction. (Coastal Act/30251)
POLICY 14.7: Minimize extensive or premature grading or filling, and penalize illegal grading or filling.
Pg. RM -31
Natural Resource Management
There are a number of goals and policies in the General Plan that are concerned with the maintenance,
preservation, or conservation of natural resources. This section of the Resource Management element is
specifically concerned with those resources that can be best managed through the implementation of land
use policies. These policies will be effective in mitigating the impacts of development on sensitive
ecological areas within or adjacent to properties undergoing development.
Significant natural resources within the planning area are described in detail in the Resource
Management Technical Report. For planning purposes, three sensitivity categories have been developed
to identify all area's sensitivity to development. This sensitivity rating is described as follows:
Low Sensitivity: Areas with little or no ecologically sensitive, or significant habitats are in this
classification. Past development in the urbanized sections of the City destroyed or significantly altered
native plant communities and animal habitats.
Moderate Sensitivity: A number of areas in the City have been developed at densities sufficiently low so
remnants of environmentally significant areas remain. In addition, some development is located adjacent
to ecologically significant zones, which could be adversely impacted by any increase in density or
intensity of development.
High Sensitivity: The Resource Management Technical Report identified those portions of the Planning
Area that are judged to be ecologically significant by biologists and naturalists. These areas correspond
with those zones in Figure 2 identified as having a high sensitivity. Many of those areas identified as
having a "high sensitivity" are included within a Special Studies Overlay designation on the Land Use
Policy Map. Other significant areas are designated Ecological Resource /Open space /Parks if they are
located on properties that are publicly owned.
General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Assessment Page 15
Development proposals within those areas with high sensitivity ratings identified in Figure 2 will be
reviewed to determine the extent of significant ecological resources on the property and the potential
impacts new development will have on these resources. The location of sensitive lands as shown in
Figure 2 is generalized and not parcel- specific. Figure 2 is a tool used as an aid in locating sensitive
lands, but is not an exact or exclusive determinant. A detailed identification and review of the presence of
sensitive resources will be required with each development proposal. The review may include
environmental impact assessments or EIRs to identify significant plant and /or animal species present.
After this evaluation has been completed, appropriate modifications to the site plan, development
densities, etc., may be required to mitigate any potential adverse impacts.
RECREATION ELEMENT
GOAL 1: The maintenance of the open space resources in the Planning Area will continue to be
emphasized. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 1.1: Continue to cooperate with property owners, the County of San Diego, and others to
preserve and, maintain the riparian habitats within the planning area. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 1.2: Consider the enactment of a "Quimby Ordinance" to insure that new residential development
is provided with open space /recreational amenities. In addition, explore all other available funding
resources and alternatives for acquisition and development of park and open space lands.
POLICY 1.4: Establish a balance of natural open space and "improved" recreational open space and
implement measures to preserve, and maintain the natural environment. (Coastal Act/30252)
Pg. RE -5
Preservation of Open space Resources
The following goal and supporting policies are directly linked to corresponding policies in the
Land Use, Resource Management, and Safety Elements. The preservation of culturally and naturally
significant lands is identified as being a major priority of the City and this objective is underscored once
again in the policies below. Many of the open space areas lie within flood plains, have steep topography
or are otherwise constrained and provide the City with a unique opportunity to develop a system of trails,
bikeways, and establish new parks for both passive and active recreation.
GOAL 2: The City will make every effort to preserve open space areas that represent a significant
environmental resource in the community. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 2.1: The City should identify and seek to acquire floodplain areas for appropriate public uses.
(Coastal Act/30212.5/30231/30240)
POLICY 2.4: Leave appropriate areas of neighborhood and community parks in a natural state, retaining
natural topography and vegetation where preservation is feasible. (Coastal Act/30240)
POLICY 2.7: Encourage the use of appropriate public lands and facilities for park and recreation
purposes to the maximum extent feasible consistent with the maintenance of natural resources. (Coastal
Act/30212.5)
POLICY 2.8: Encourage the maintenance of the bluffs, beach, shoreline, reefs and ocean . and
discourage any use that would adversely affect the beach and bluffs except a reasonable number of
access public stairways, lifeguard towers, and similar public beach facilities. (Coastal Act/30211/30213)

STORMWATER POLLUTION
When rain flows over streets and other surfaces, it picks up
' pollutants and carries them into the stormwater conveyance
( "storm drain ") - system. The storm drain system is designed
to. prevent flooding by transporting: water away from urban
areas: Unfortunately, this water and all the contaminants it
contains eventually flow to our streams, lakes, and the ocean
where we swim and fish. Once there;_ polluted runoff can harm
wildlife and their habitats. In some cases, it can
\\ ¢
even _cause beach closures or make our fish- -and -
shellfish unsafe to eat.
Construction activities can be a - significant source of
stormwater contamination. During the life of a project, many
" types of materials and wastes are routinely used or generated.
If not properly managed, sediment and other pollutants (paint,
rete, drywall, fuels, solvents; etc:) can be washed or •
Aed offsite, eventually entering the storm drain system.. It
might not seem-Fike your activities alone could be damaging to
the environment; but, the cumulative impact of the thousands`
of constroction projects conducted throughout the County every
year can seriously impact the health of our local waterbodies.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
The County of San Diego Stormwater Ordinance prohibits..the
discharge of - pollutants to the storm drain system. Simply
stated, only rain may legally enter -the storm drain. As a
construction site owner or operator, you are legally responsible
for ensuring that sediment and other construction- related
pollutants are properly managed. This means that pollutants
from your 'site. may not enter the storm drain system or any "
receiving water,(such_as creeks, streams, etc.) either directly.
or indirectly. You can, also be held responsible" for discharges
or -environmental . damage caused by your employees_ _ or
subcontractors.
-Your grading and construction activities will- be. reviewed by
County staff during plan check and. site . inspection to verify .
their compliance with the Stormwater Ordinance and .related
provisions of the County Grading, Ordinance-. Failure to comply
with these regulations . can `_result in civil and criminal -
penalties.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs)
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are activities or Practices
designed to . reduce or eliminate pollutants in - stormwater..
Proper -selection and implementation of BMPs will help you to
..prevent stormwater -pollution from -your site. On the following
Pages, a number of BMPs that apply to erosion control and .
other construction activities are described. It is, your
responsibility to determine which of these (or other BMPs)
are most appropriate for your project, and' to implement them
accordingly. The success of your efforts will. ultimately
depend on whether or not you have prevented pollutants from
leaving the site.
Remember, .knowledge is the most important tool
on your site. Training your employees: and
subcontractors is the best way to ensure that your
BMPs are implemented and maintained effectively.

EROSION CONTROL STRATEGY
Sediment is the most common pollutant washed from construction sites.
It also transports numerous other contaminants such as paint, cement
wash, asphalt, and automotive fluids. Sediment loss is best controlled
by using a combination of BMPs to target each stage of the erosion
process.. This should include the, following general steps.
-Step 1. Use advanced planning and scheduling.
Step 2: Stabilize slopes and exposed surfaces.
Step 3. Divert or dissipate onsite flows.
Step 4. Capture.sediment from runoff.

STEP 2: STABILIZING SLOPES AND. SURFACES
The County Grading Ordinance requires that slopes be.stabilized as soon
as they are created to increase their resistance to erosion. When
permanent stabilization of slopes or other exposed surfaces is not yet
feasible, temporary measures should always be used. " A number of
practical .solutions can be used.
Preservation of Existing Vegetation. leaving existing
vegetation' (trees, vines, shrubs, grasses, etc.) in place can
minimize the potential for erosion as well as the need for
other costly controls.
Seeding and Planting. Seeding grasses and planting trees or
ground cover provides long -term stabilization of slopes and
soils. Schedule- .landscaping to. permanently cover exposed
surfaces as soon s they are created:
Mulching. Mulches such as wood-chi s bark straw,
etc.) can be used to- temporarily or Permanently stabilize .
cleared or freshly seeded areas. Mulches should be inspected
weekly and after 'rain for damage or deterioration.
Geotextiles and Mats. Geotextiles and mattings can be used.
for temporary or permanent soil . stabilization, - and -,are
especially effective on steep slopes and channels. They
should be inspected monthly and after significant rainfall.
:Stabilization of Vehicle Traffic., Areas. All areas of
significant vehicle traffic (site entrances,. access roads,
parking lots, etc.) should be .stabilized immediately after
grading to prevent erosion and control dust. Site entrances'
and exits are especially important. Use gravel approaches toy.
limit trocking.of sediment,offsite.
Remember, the effectiveness -of the BMPs you u,
their proper implementation and maintenance. Ri
and evaluation, especially before and after_tainfal
of your pollution control strategy.
STEP 3: DIVERTING AND DISSIPATING FLOW
Effectively preventing .sediment erosion generally requires a
combination of surface stabilization And onsite flow control. Flow
control methods reduce the:.ability of rainwater. to erode sediments
either by decreasing its velocity or by channeling it away from exposed
surfaces. A number of practices are commonly used.
Earthen Dikes. Earthen dikes are berms or . ridges of
compacted soil (or other onsite materials) that divert flow
away from slopes or other exposed areas. They are relatively
inexpensive and can bo constructed during initial grading
operations.
1600 Temporary Drains and Swales. Temporary drains and swales
can be--used to divert runoff around the site or disturbed
areas.
Slope Drains. Slope drains are temporary pipes or lined
channels that. drain the top of a slope to a stable discharge
.point at the bottom.
Slope Roughening and Terracing. Roughening and terracing
slopes reduces runoff velocity and provides small depressions
for trapping sediment. It can also. help establish vegetation
and increase infiltration.
When using flow diversion BMPS, remember that concentrated flows .
must be dissipated. Flow dissipation (check dams, rip rap, etc.) should
always be used at drain or channel-outlets to reduce runoff velocity and
promote sedimentation.- Care should also be taken , not to disturb
--downstream properties.
STEP 4:, CAPTURING SEDIMENT FROM RUNOFF
Because sediment erosion can never be .completely prevented, your
control strategy should also include $MPs designed to recapture
sediment from flows. The following methods are commonly used to
promote sedimentation by filtering or trapping runoff..
Silt Fences. Silt fences are a filter fabric attached to
-� supporting poles, sometimes backed by wire. They are used in
areas -of sheet flow. Slit fences require frequent inspection,
especially before -and after rainfall.
F—F-1 Straw Bale Barriers. - Straw bales can -be used to create 'a
temporary sediment trap in areas of sheet or rill flow. Bales
are entrenched. and placed end to end along a level. contour.
They should be inspected frequently since they 'fend to
deteriorate. .
L�=: Sand Bag Barriers. 'Stacking sand bags along a level contour
can create a temporary sediment trap by ponding water
upstream of the barrier. Sand bags are very versatile and "can
be used in a number of applications.
s• ' Brush and Rock filters. Barriers- constructed of brush or rock
(3/4" to 3" diameter) can be used in areas of sheet or rill
Ichannelized surfaces) flow to, reduce velocity and trap
sediment. They must be properly anchorid, and should be
inspected at least monthly and after each rainfall.
Sediment Traps and Basins. Traps and basins are excavated or
constructed (berms, embankments, etc.) areas where runoff is
trapped and- sedimentation occurs. Traps are. used for small
drainage areas (less' than S acres) and basins for larger ones.
Both traps and basins should be constructed -before clearing,
grading, and grubbing beg ins,.and located where they can be
easily cleaned out.
Storm Drain Inlet and. Creek .Protection. Your erosion control strategy should always address the
Protection of onsite or down - gradient- storm drain inlefs and waterbodies. Discharges of Pollutants to

arvr t zvsr+ v crrvoac-ava oaci "r"`"'a "p+•„
A.
Grading shall be minimized during the wet season to the extent feasible. If
grading does occur during the wet season, the City Engineer may require the applicant to
implement additional best management practices for any rain events which may occur. No
grading permit shall be issued for work occurring from October I to April 30 unless the plans
include details of protective measures, including desilting basins or other temporary drainage
control measures, or both, as may be deemed necessary by the City Engineer to protect adjoining
public and private property or the Waters of the State from damage by erosion, flooding, or the
deposit of mud or debris which may originate from the site or result from grading operations.
B. If grading is begun prior to October 1 st, all protective measures shall be installed
prior to October 1st. If grading is begun on or after October 1st, all protective measures shall be
installed before grading is begun. All protective measures shall be maintained in good working
order until April 15th of the succeeding year, where grading is done between October 1st and
December 31 st, or until April 15th of the same year where grading is done between January 1 st and
April 15th, unless their removal at an earlier date is approved by the City Engineer.
C. Where a grading permit is issued and the work is commenced after April 15th and
before September 15th of any year, and the permit was issued without an Interim Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan, and it appears that the grading and installation of the permanent drainage
devices as authorized by the permit will not be completed prior to October 1, then on or before
September 15th, the owner of the site on which the grading is being performed shall file or cause to
be filed with the City Engineer an Interim Erosion and Sediment Control Plan as provided for in
this Chapter and shall implement the measures contained in the approved plan by October 1. The
plan check fee for the Interim Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be paid at the time of plan
submittal and shall be in the amount provided for in this Chapter.

of measures on the Erosion Control Plans, during the wet season, Permittee must apply for and
receive, every seven days, special permission to proceed.
E. The City Engineer shall grant permission under this section on the basis of weather
forecasts, site conditions, experience and other pertinent factors which indicate the activity may
commence or continue without excessive erosion occurring.
F. Should the Permittee fail to submit the plans, fail to provide the protective measures
or fail to obtain permission for wet season activities as required by this Chapter by the dates
specified therein, it shall be deemed that a default has occurred under the conditions of the grading
permit security. Thereupon the City Engineer may enter the property for the purpose of installing,
by City forces or by other means, the drainage and erosion control devices shown on the approved
29
(0-.31
plans, or if there are not approved plans, as he may deem necessary to protect adjoining property
from storm damage, or the City Engineer may cause the owner of the site to be prosecuted as a
violator of this code, or he may take both actions.

. I.
A. Erosion prevention shall be considered the most important erosion control
measure, with sediment controls as a backup. The faces of cut and fill slopes and the project
site shall be prepared and maintained to control against erosion and runoff in accordance with
this Chapter. Where cut slopes are not subject to erosion due to the erosion - resistant character
of the materials, such protection may be omitted only upon approval of the City Engineer. "
B. Paved streets, sidewalks, and other improvements shall be maintained in a neat and
clean condition free of loose soil, construction debris and trash. Street sweeping or other equally
effective means shall be used on a regular basis to prevent stone flows from carrying sediment and
debris outside the project boundaries. Watering shall not be used to clean streets except for fine
material not otherwise removed by sweeping or other mechanical means.

slopes shall be protected against erosion and any unstable slopes shall be stabilized.
C. Preparation of Ground. The existing ground surface shall be prepared to receive fill
by removing vegetation, noncomplying fill or other incompetent material. No compacted fill shall
be placed unless the underlying soil or bedrock has been investigated by the soil engineer or
geologist and found to be capable of safely supporting the additional weight. Where the slope of
the existing ground surface is five horizontal to one vertical, or steeper, the fill shall be supported
on level benches cut into competent material. Except where recommended by the soils engineer or
geologist as not being necessary, subdrains shall be provided under all fills placed in natural
drainage courses and in other locations where seepage is evident. Such subdrainage systems shall
be of a material and design approved by the soil engineer and acceptable to the City Engineer. The

G. Inspection and Testing. The soil engineer shall provide sufficient inspection during
fill placement and compaction operations to determine that such work is being performed in
accordance with conditions of plan approval and requirements of this Code. Continuous inspection
shall be provided by the soil engineer, or his responsible representative, for all fills that will exceed
a vertical height or depth of thirty feet. Tests to determine density of the compacted fill soils shall
be made on the basis of not less than one test for each two -foot vertical lift of the fill but not less
than one test for each one thousand cubic yards of material placed. In addition, density tests at a
point approximately one foot below the fill slope surface shall be made on the basis of not less than
one test for every 5000 square feet of slope face. All such density tests shall be reasonably
uniformly distributed within the fill or fill slope surface. Results of such testing and location of
tests shall be presented in the soil engineer's report.
H. Compaction. All fills shall be compacted throughout their full extent to a minimum
of ninety percent (90 %) of the maximum density as determined by ASTM Soil Compaction Test

upon attainment of the ultimate consolidation of the fill material achieved through a state of the art
soils investigation, a settlement monitoring program and surcharging of the fill material with an
appropriate overburden of soil.
J. Construction on Cut/Fill Boundaries. The construction of structures across the line
separating cut areas from fill areas shall be strongly discouraged. The depths of fill under building
envelopes on graded pads should be uniform. Uniform depths of fill should be obtained by
overexcavating and blending the fill material prior to replacement and recompaction. The soils
engineering report shall make specific recommendations regarding the treatment of the cut/fill
transition zone.

23.24.510 - Planting of Slopes.
A. Planting.
Or-esien.by Planting -A'M grass
gFeand vef plants. The surface of slopes shall be protected against damage from erosion by
planting with grass or ground cover plants. If grass or ground cover is not established by the
beginning of the wet season, temporary erosion control measures such as erosion control mats
or blankets shall be installed on the slopes. Slopes exceeding fifteen feet in vertical height shall
also be planted with shrubs, spaced at not to exceed ten feet on centers; or trees, spaced at not to
exceed twenty feet on centers; or a combination of shrubs and trees at equivalent spacings, in
addition to the grass or ground cover plants. The plants selected and planting methods used shall be
suitable for the soil and climatic conditions of the site. Plant material shall be selected which will
produce a permanent planting coverage effectively controlling erosion. Consideration shall be
given to deep- rooted plant material needing limited watering; to low maintenance during the
lifetime of the project; to high root to shoot ratio (weight above ground parts versus root system);
wind susceptibility and fire retardant characteristics. Planting need not be provided for cut slopes
rocky in character and not subject to damage by erosion and any slopes protected against erosion
damage by other methods when such methods have been specifically recommended by a soils
engineer, engineering geologist, or equivalent authority and found to offer erosion protection equal
to that provided by the planting specified in this Section. Planting shall be done as early as
feasble.
B. Irrigation. Slopes required to be planted by Subsection (a) shall be provided with
an approved system of irrigation, designed to cover all portions of the slope and plans therefor shall
be submitted and approved prior to installation. A functional test of the system will be required.
The requirements for permanent irrigation systems may be modified upon specific recommendation
of a landscape architect or equivalent authority that because of the type of plants selected, the
planting methods used and the soil and climatic conditions of the site, irrigation will not be

CHAPTER 64.08
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
64.08.010 Title. This Chapter shall be known as the "City of Encinitas
Watercourse Protection, Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance ".
_64.08.020 Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this Chapter is to protect the
health, safety and welfare of the public by regulating all Discharges into the Storm Water
Conveyance System and the Waters of the State in order to preserve and enhance water
quality for beneficial uses by:
(A) Prohibiting Non -storm Water Discharges to the Storm Water Conveyance
System;
(B) Eliminating Pollutants in Storm Water to the Maximum Extent Practicable,
including Pollutants from both point and non -point sources;
(C) Prohibiting activities which cause, or contribute to, exceedance of state and
federal Receiving Water quality objectives.
(D) Protecting Watercourses from disturbance and Pollution.
The intent of this Chapter is to use the police power of the City to regulate water quality
in a manner which complies with all applicable laws related to water quality, including
the federal Clean Water Act, the state Porter - Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and the
conditions of any NPDES permit issued to the City.
64.08.030 Definitions.
For purposes of this Chapter only, the terms below have the following meaning:
Beneficial Uses means uses of water necessary for the survival or well being of
man, plants, and wildlife. These uses of water serve to promote the tangible and
intangible economic, social, and environmental goals. "Beneficial Uses" of the Waters
of the State that may be protected against include, but are not limited to, domestic,
municipal, agricultural and industrial supply; power generation; recreation; aesthetic
enjoyment; navigation; and preservation and enhancement of fish, wildlife, and other
aquatic resources or preserves. Existing beneficial uses are uses that
were attained in the surface or ground water on or after November 28, 1975; and
potential beneficial uses are uses that would probably develop in future years through
the implementation of various control measures. Beneficial Uses are equivalent to
Designated Uses under federal law. [California Water Code Section 13050(f)].
Best Management Practices or "BMPs" means schedules of activities, Pollution
treatment practices or devices, prohibitions of practices, general good housekeeping
practices, Pollution prevention and educational practices, operation and maintenance
procedures, and other management practices or devices to prevent or reduce the
Discharge of Pollutants directly or indirectly to Storm Water, Receiving Waters, or the
Storm Water Conveyance System. BMPs may be structural or non - structural. Best
Management Practices include, but are not limited to, site design, source control,
treatment control, natural design methods, low flow diversions to the sewer, and
structures such as infiltration basins, clarifiers, oil and grease separators and filters.
BMPs may include any type of Pollution prevention and Pollution control measure the
can help to achieve compliance with this Chapter.
Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Impaired Water Body or Impaired Water Body
means an impaired water body in which water quality does not meet applicable water
quality standards and /or is not expected to meet water quality standards, even after the
application of technology based Pollution controls required by the Clean Water Act. The
Discharge of urban runoff to these water bodies is significant because these Discharges
can cause or contribute to violations of applicable water quality standards.
Discharge when used as a verb, means to allow Pollutants to directly or indirectly
enter Storm Water, or to allow Storm Water or Non -storm Water to directly or indirectly
enter the Storm Water Conveyance System or Receiving Waters, from an activity or
operations. When used as a noun, "Discharge" means the Pollutants, Storm Water
and /or Non -storm Water that is Discharged.
Discharger Means any Person who Discharges or any person engaged in activities
or operations, or owning facilities, which may result in Pollutants entering StormWater,
the Storm Water Conveyance System or Receiving Waters. "Dischargers" include, but
are not limited to, real and personal property owners, occupants, tenants, lessees,
contractors, developers, managers and employees.
i
Environmentally Sensitive Areas include but are not limited to all Clean Water Act
Section 303(d) impaired water bodies; areas designated as Areas of Special Biological
Significance by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Quality Control Plan for
the San Diego Basin (1994) and amendments); water bodies designated with the RARE
beneficial use by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Quality Control Plan
for the San Diego Basin (1994) and amendments); areas designated as preserves or their
equivalent under the Multi Species Conservation Program within the Cities and County
of San Diego; and any other similar environmentally sensitive areas which have
been identified by the City Engineer. "Directly adjacent" means situated within 200 feet
of the Environmentally Sensitive Area. "Discharging directly to" means outflow from a
drainage conveyance system that is composed entirely of flows from the subject
development or redevelopment site, and not commingled with flows from adjacent
lands.
Illegal Connection means a physical connection to the Storm Water Conveyance
System or Receiving Waters which has not been reviewed and authorized by the City; or
a permitted connection which conveys Illegal Discharges.
Illegal Discharge is any Discharge to the Storm Water Conveyance System that is
not composed entirely of Storm Water or that is not Discharged in compliance with this
Chapter
Impervious Surface means constructed or modified surfaces that cannot
effectively infiltrate rainfall such as building rooftops, pavement, sidewalks, driveways,
etc.
Impervious Surface Area means the ground area covered or sheltered by an
impervious surface, measured in plan view, i.e., as if from directly above. For example,
the "impervious surface area" for a pitched roof is equal to the ground area it shelters,
rather than the surface area of the roof itself.
Maximum Extent Practicable or MEP refers to the standard established by
Congress in Clean Water Act section 402(p)(3)(B)(iii) that municipal dischargers of
Storm Water must meet; MEP is an acceptability standard for Best Management
Practices based on a level of Pollutant reduction that can be achieved by the most
effective set of BMPs that can be implemented and still remain practicable; MEP
generally emphasizes Pollution prevention and source control BMPs as the first line of
defense in combination with treatment methods as a backup.
Non Point Source refers to diffuse, widespread sources of Pollution. These
sources may be large or small, but are generally numerous throughout a watershed. Non
Point Sources include but are not limited to urban, agricultural, or industrial areas,
roads, highways, construction sites, communities served by septic systems, recreational
boating activities, timber harvesting, mining, livestock grazing, as well as physical
changes to stream channels, and habitat degradation. Non Point Source Pollution can
occur year round any time rainfall, snow melt, irrigation, or any other source of water
runs over land or through the ground, picks up Pollutants from these numerous, diffuse
sources and deposits them into rivers, lakes, and coastal waters or introduces them into
ground water.
Non -Storm Water consists of all Discharges to and from a Storm Water
Conveyance System that do not originate from precipitation events, i.e., all Discharges
other than Storm Water. Non -storm Water includes Illegal Discharges, non - prohibited
Discharges, and NPDES permitted Discharges.
NPDES permit means a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit
issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the State Water Resources Control
Board ( "SWRCB "), or the California Regional Water Quality Control Board for the San
Diego Region ( "RWQCB").
Person means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, non - profit organization, trust, association or governmental agency.
Pollutant is broadly defined as any agent that may cause or contribute to the
degradation of water quality such that a condition of Pollution or contamination is
created or aggravated, including but not limited to, dredged spoil, rock, sand, or silt
(excluding sediment, silt, or substances in quantities which would enter Storm Water
from a natural undeveloped watershed); solid waste, animal waste, sewage, garbage, or
medical waste; wrecked or discarded equipment; radioactive materials; industrial waste;
any organic or inorganic contaminant; fecal coliform, fecal streptococcus, and
enterococcus bacteria and other pathogens that pose a threat to human health; volatile
organic carbon, surfactants, oil and grease, petroleum hydrocarbons, total organic
carbon, lead, copper, chromium, cadmium, silver, nickel, zinc, cyanides, phenols, and
biocides; any contaminant which can significantly degrade the quality of Receiving
Waters by altering pH, total suspended or settleable solids, biochemical oxygen demand,
chemical oxygen demand, nutrients, or temperature.
Pollution is the alteration of the quality of the Receiving Waters to a degree that
unreasonably affects the Beneficial Use of the Receiving Waters or the facilities that
serve the beneficial uses. "Pollution" also includes contamination which creates a
hazard to the public health through poisoning or the spread of disease.
Point Source means any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including,
but not limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure,
container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding operations, landfill leachate
collection systems, vessel, or other floating craft from which Pollutants are or may be
discharged.
RWOCB means the California Regional Water Quality Control Board for the San
Diego Region.
Receiving Waters means all waters that are "Waters of the State" within the scope
of the State Water Code, including but not limited to, natural streams, creeks, rivers,
reservoirs, lakes, ponds, water in vernal pools, lagoons, estuaries, bays, the Pacific
Ocean, and ground water.
Significant Redevelopment means the creation or addition of at least 5,000 square
feet of impervious surfaces on an already developed site. Significant Redevelopment
includes, but is not limited to: the expansion of a building footprint or addition or
replacement of a structure; structural development including an increase in gross floor
area and /or exterior construction or remodeling; replacement of impervious surface that
is not part of a routine maintenance activity; and land disturbing activities related with
structural or impervious surfaces.
State General Construction Storm Water Permit means NPDES Permit No.
CAS000002, Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of Storm Water Associated
with Construction Activities, and any amendments thereto.
State General Industrial Storm Water Permit means NPDES Permit No.
CAS000001, Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of Storm Water Associated
with Industrial Activities Excluding Construction Activities, and any amendments thereto.
Storm Water means runoff which originates from precipitation events. "Storm
Water" is that portion of precipitation that flows across a surface to the Storm Water
Conveyance System or Receiving Waters. Examples of this phenomenon include: the
water that flows off a building's roof when it rains (runoff from, an impervious surface);
the water that flows into streams when snow on the ground begins to melt (runoff from
a semi - pervious surface); and the water that flows from a vegetated surface when rainfall
is in excess of the rate at which it can infiltrate into the underlying soil (runoff from a
pervious surface).
Storm Water Conveyance System means private and public drainage facilities
within the City of Encinitas by which Storm Water may be conveyed to waters of the
United States, including but not limited to, streets, roads, catch basins, natural and
artificial channels, natural and artificial drainage features, aqueducts, canyons, stream
beds, gullies, curbs, gutters, ditches, and storm drains. Historic and current development
make use of natural drainage patterns and features as conveyances for urban runoff.
Urban streams used in this manner are part of the Storm Water Conveyance System
regardless of whether they are natural, man -made, or partially modified features. In these
cases, the urban stream is both a Storm Water Conveyance System and a Receiving
Water.
Structural BMP means a BMP that relies on either a physical condition (other than
an entirely natural and undisturbed condition), or on a constructed or installed device to
reduce or prevent Pollutants in Storm Water Discharges and exempt Non -storm Water
Discharges. Constructed or enhanced BMPs that depend on natural materials and
processes (e.g., constructed drainage swales or buffers, or constructed wetlands), that
require periodic maintenance to function as designed, are Structural BMPs.
SWRCB means the State Water Resources Control Board.
Watercourse means any natural or artificial stream, river, creek, ditch, channel,
canal, conduit, culvert, drain, waterway, gully, ravine, arroyo or wash, in which surface
waters flow in a definite direction or source, either continuously or intermittently, and
which has a definite channel and a bed or banks. A channel is not limited to land
covered by minimal or ordinary flow, but also includes land covered during times of high
water.
Waters of the State means any water, surface or underground, including saline
waters within the boundaries of California. The definition of the "Waters of the State" is
broader than that for the "Waters of the United States" in that all water in the State is
considered to be a "Waters of the State" regardless of circumstances or condition. Under
this definition, a municipal storm sewer system (MS4) is always considered to be a
"Waters of the State ". [California Water Code Section 13050 (e)].
Waters of the United States means water subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of
the United States under the Federal Clean Water Act and applicable case law. In
general, this includes "navigable" waters, waters tributary to "navigable" waters, and
adjacent wetlands. [40 Code of Federal Regulations section 122.2.]
Wet season means October 1 thru April 30.

64.08.140 Minimum Best Management Practices.
All Dischargers shall install, implement and maintain at least the following
minimum Best Management Practices:
A. Eroded soils. Prior to the rainy season, Dischargers must remove or secure
any significant accumulations of eroded soils from slopes previously disturbed by
clearing or grading, if those eroded soils could otherwise enter the Storm Water
Conveyance System or Receiving Waters during the rainy season. Slopes more than five
feet in height, more than 250 square feet in total area, and steeper than 3:1 (run -to -rise)
that have been disturbed at any time by clearing, grading, or landscaping, shall be
continuously protected from erosion.
B. Parking Lots. Dischargers with parking lots or impervious surfaces used for
similar purposes shall clean the surfaces frequently and thoroughly in a manner that
does not cause Non -storm Water Discharge to the Storm Water Conveyance System. In
most cases, this will require dry cleaning methods such as sweeping and removal of dirt
and debris. The dirt and debris shall be disposed of in a manner which prevents it from
entering the Storm Water Conveyance System or the Receiving Waters. At least one
cleaning shall be completed within the sixty days prior to the beginning of the Wet
Season.
C. Storage of Materials and Wastes. All materials and wastes with the
potential to pollute urban runoff shall be stored in a manner that either prevents contact
with rainfall and Storm Water, or contains contaminated runoff for treatment and
disposal.
f
D. Use of Materials. All materials with the potential to pollute urban run off,
including but not limited to, cleaning and maintenance products used outdoors,
fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, shall be used in accordance with label directions. If
a label cautions against use of a product where it may enter water or waterways, or
cautions that the product may be toxic or have toxic effects, the product may not be
disposed of or rinsed into Receiving Waters or the Storm Water Conveyance System.
E. Self Inspection for Illegal Discharges. All Dischargers, except residential
single family home Dischargers, shall inspection their facilities, activities, operations and
procedures at least annually to detect illegal connections and Illegal Discharges. The self
inspection shall be documented in records kept on the premises for at least five years
F. Inspection, Maintenance, Repair and Upgrading of BMPs. Structural BMPs
must be inspected by the Discharger before predicted rain events and following actual
rain events. These BMPs must be maintained so that they continue to function as
designed. Structural BMPs which fail must be repaired as soon as it is safe to do so. If the
failure of a structural or nonstructural BMP indicates that the BMPs in use are
inappropriate or inadequate to the circumstances, the BMPs must be modified or
upgraded to prevent any further failure in the same or similar circumstances. All
sediment and debris in catch basins must be removed prior to the wet season and
disposed of in a manner which prevents it from entering the Storm Water Conveyance
System or the Receiving Waters.
64.08.150 Discharger Sampling, Testing, Monitoring, and Reporting.
The City Engineer may require Dischargers to perform sampling, testing,
monitoring and reporting of results as a Best Management Practice. In addition, the City
Engineer may order a Discharger to conduct testing or monitoring and to report the
results to the City if
1. the City Engineer determines that testing or monitoring is needed
to determine whether BMPs are effectively preventing or reducing
Pollutants in Storm Water to the Maximum Extent Practicable, or to
determine whether the facility is a significant source of contaminants to
Waters of the State; or
2. the City Engineer determines that testing or monitoring is needed
to assess the impacts of an Illegal Discharge on health, safety or the
environment; or
3. an Illegal Discharge has not been eliminated after written notice by
the City Engineer; or (4) the Discharger is in violation of any provision of
this Chapter; or the Regional Water Quality Control Board requires the
City to provide information on the Discharger's activities.
Testing and monitoring ordered pursuant to this section may include the following:
1. Visual monitoring of dry weather flows, wet weather erosion, or
BMPs; j
2. Visual monitoring of premises for spills or Discharges;
3. Laboratory analyses of Storm Water or Non -storm Water Discharges

SEWER OVERFLOW RESPONSE PLAN
The City of Encinitas Wastewater Collection Division has developed two response plans
for handling sewer overflow emergencies: "During Working Hours Response Plan" and
"After Working Hours Response Plan." The hour at which a sewer overflow emergency
occurs is the determining factor regarding which plan will be followed. If the emergency
occurs during regular working hours, Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm,
then staff will follow the `During Working Hours Response Plan" procedures.
Otherwise, staff will follow the "After Working Hours Response Plan" procedures.
The During Working Hours Plan assumes that any of 4 crew members, the lead person,
and/or the Division Supervisor will respond to the emergency call. Usually, the
Wastewater Collection Crew Member(s) closest to the site will respond first. This plan
assumes that when responding to an emergency call staff will usually have with them the
necessary equipment and/or vehicles. The Division maintains the following equipment
and vehicles: continuous rodder, combination sewer cleaning machine, easement cleaner,
safety equipment and confined space equipment.
The After Working Hours Plan assumes that the standby person will respond to the '
emergency call. The standby person is determined through a monthly rotation of crew
members who serve on a one -week "on- call" basis. The standby person will respond to
the call and will request additional help, as needed. Although the standby person drives a
duty vehicle to the site, he /she will occasionally need to arrange for additional equipment
at the site.

SEWER OVERFLOW PREVENTION PLAN
In order to prevent or minimize the potential for sewer overflow, the City of Encinitas has
taken 2 steps:
I. The implementation of Sewer Maintenance Schedules.
II. The development of a Sewer Master Plan for Capital Improvement
Projects.
In addition, the City is in the process of purchasing computer software to track work
orders, problem areas, spills, and customer complaints.. The software will assist in
keeping up -to -date records on size, condition, location, age, and type of sewer lines.
I. SEWER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The City of Encinitas adheres to s sewer maintenance schedule that insures that all sewer
lines within the City are cleaned annually with both a combination sewer cleaner and a
continuous rodder. Under the current maintenance schedule known trouble spots are
cleaned more frequently such as quarterly, monthly, bimonthly, or on as needed basis.
II. SEWER MASTER PLAN AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
The Encinitas Sanitary District .(ESD) Board approved the Encinitas Sanitary District
Master Plan in 1992. Since the dissolution of the Encinitas Sanitation District, the City
of Encinitas now manages the master plan. The master plan is a comprehensive study,
which involved televised inspections of the sewer system and an evaluation of the
capacity and integrity of the sewer mains and the system's (Moonlight Beach) pump
station. The City intends to update the Master Plan in fiscal year 2001/02 in order to
identify and address areas needing improvement. Each year the City allocates funding for
repairs and improvements to the sewer system within the City of Encinitas.

The procedure for responding to sewage overflow was developed and instituted to:
a. Standardize the proper method used by Operations and Maintenance (O &M) staff when
responding to a report of a possible sewage overflow.
b. Ensure that all safety precautions are consistently followed to minimize
the impact of a sewage spill to public health, worker safety and the environment.
c. Align Leucadia County Water District's (LCWD) spill response with statewide Incident
Command System.
d. Provide notification to all appropriate external agencies and LCWD management of the spill
in accordance with 40 CFR 122.41 and Order No. 96 -04, General Waste Discharge
Requirements Prohibiting Sanitary Sewer Overflows by Sewage Collection Agencies, as
amended June 21, 2001.
2.0 SAFETY
Nothing in these procedures supersedes, or in any other way, relaxes LCWD Safety
Procedures regarding Traffic Safety, Electrical Safety, Lockout/Tagout, Confined Space,
MSDS, Bloodborne Pathogens, or Illness and Injury Prevention.
3.0 PROCEDURE
A. Any LCWD employee (including answering service staff) being notified of a "sewage
spill or overflow", will carry-out the following duties:
1) politely interact with the caller, obtain all relevant information and fill out a "Work
Order /Service Request" (Attachment (a)). (Note time spill is reported.)
2) immediately notify the Operations Supervisor and/or District Superintendent (or the on -call
operator) that sewage overflow /spill has been reported. Use LCWD Emergency phone list
{Attachment (b)} or Frequently Called Numbers {Attachment (c) }or the alpha paging
system located in email. [Note time of notification was made.]
A. On -call operator (staff member responding to spill)
1) quickly but safely proceed to the location of the reported spill in one of the Vactors.
2) Upon arrival, immediately investigate and assess the situation. Determine the type of
water overflowing/spilling. [Note time of arrival on Emergency Action Report
{Attachment (d).) ]
3) Make a rapid estimate of spill volume or amount, the source of the spill, and its
destination.
4) immediately make all practical efforts to contain the overflowing sewage and then, as
rapidly as possible, correct the cause of the spill. [Note times spill is contained and
stoppage corrected on Sewer Spill Data Sheet (Attachment (e)).]
(If spill is due to power outage at a pump station, notify Operations Supervisor immediately
and request a portable emergency generator be brought to the affected pump station.)
(Spill Response includes deploying spill kit barriers across the entrance of nearby storm
drains (the storm drains adjacent to sewage lift stations are indicated in the on -call
procedures handbook), verifying proper lift station operation or securing lift station
operation as required, and checking manholes for stoppages caused by grease or other
debris Appendix (i) lists equipment available for spill response.)
(Note: If circumstances preclude spill containment, the responding LCWD staff member
will, as soon as practical, determine the ultimate location of the spill and evaluate the
feasibility of secondary containment or collection. Appendix (ii) contains area maps showing
the creeks that lie within the District's service area.
5) keep supervisor informed of all aspects of the Spill (time of arrival on scene, estimated
volume or amount of spill, all requirements for extra staff or special equipment, with
periodic updates /re- assessments, and the cause of the spill, including the determination
that it is a private property owners' responsibility.

Containment
Divert the overfow to existing manholes or use sand bags/dirt to contain a spill within localized area as quickly as
possible. This will decrease the public health risk and minimize or eliminate the final reporting volume and possibly
closure days for the beaches.

DRY WEATHER ANALYTICAL AND FIELD SCREENING
MONITORING PROGRAM
CITY OF ENCINITAS
DRY WEATHER ANALYTICAL MONITORING PROGRAM
1.0 Introduction
The primary objective of the dry weather analytical monitoring is to detect and eliminate illicit
discharges and illegal connections to the MS4. To -date, the City of Encinitas has actively
pursued dry weather field screening at thirty locations in an attempt to detect possible illicit
discharges. Based on the requirements of the February, 2001 Municipal Permit, the number of
sites has been increased to 46. The City's Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring Program consists
of a sampling program, analytical monitoring, data analysis, source identification investigations,
and reporting. The following description of the City's program is organized by the required tasks
outlined in the Municipal Permit.
1.1 Develop MS4 Map
A storm drain map has been developed by the City in a geographical information system (GIS).
The storm drain GIS is constructed in an Arclnfo platform and integrated into the City -wide GIS
maintained in the Information Technology Division. The storm drain layer contains pipelines
and structures (inlets, outlets, catch basins, and maintenance holes). Data included in the GIS
includes the location, size, age, material, and other information pertinent to the particular
structure. The map is continually updated as new drainage segments are added and additional
information is gained about the system. A copy of the MS4 map can be found in Appendix X.
1.2 Select Dry. Weather Analytical Monitoring Stations
The goal of selection process for the dry weather monitoring sites is to adequately characterize
the dry weather flows to gain an understanding of the water quality in Encinitas.
Characterization of the water quality also allows for identification and tracking of exceedances
and illicit discharges. The sites selected represent the outfalls that characterize dry weather
flows throughout the City. Efforts were made to cover the entire jurisdiction and isolate
particular land use types, areas of particular interest (i.e., areas with historical illicit discharges
or in environmentally sensitive areas). The sites were selected using the following process:
1. Storm Drain maps — Storm drain maps, developed in the City's GIS, were initially
- reviewed to identify storm drain system.
2. Land Use and Drainage Basins Maps — In the GIS, land use polygons, drainage basins
and topographic lines were overlaid on the storm drain map to characterize the tributary
areas of the sampling locations. Particular areas were isolated to assist in
characterization of flows from specific land uses.
3. Historical Information — Historical information, including past sampling data, illicit
discharge investigations and complaints, was considered to locate sites in areas where
illicit discharges are suspected.
4. Sensitive Areas — Sites were selected to characterize flow into sensitive areas, including
San Elijo lagoon, Batiquitos Lagoon and Cottonwood Creek.
5. Hydrologic Considerations — The magnitude of flow within storm drains was considered.
More sampling locations were selected in areas of higher flow than areas of no flow
6. Accessibility and Safety — A site reconnaissance was performed to determine the
accessibility and feasibility of the sampling location. When a site was determined to be
inaccessible, a new site was located in a more accessible location. Accessibility and
safety considerations include areas where there are steep and/ or slippery slopes, swift
Dry Weather Analytical and Field Screening Monitoring Program Page 8 -1
water, or confined spaces. Other areas are simply inaccessible because of a lack of
maintenance holes (manholes).
1.3 Complete MS4 Map
A map showing the selected dry weather analytical monitoring stations overlain on the storm
drain map is contained in Appendix X.
1.4 Develop Dry Weather Analytical Monitoring Procedures
It is important that all Co- permittees regulated under the Municipal Permit use consistent
methods and procedures for collecting water quality data. The City's program has been
modeled after the program developed on a county -wide basis. The elements of the Dry
Weather Analytical Monitoring program include f sampling locations, sampling frequencies, field
screening and sampling procedures, (including monitoring parameters), recommended action
levels and data interpretation, follow -up investigations, and reporting. These procedures are
discussed below.
1.4.1 Sampling Frequency
Dry weather monitoring will be conducted at each monitoring station at least once during the
period May 1 - September 30. Additional sampling will be conducted as necessary for follow -
up investigations to detect and eliminate illicit discharges and connections illegal. Dry weather
monitoring should not be conducted within 72 hours of the end of any rain event or if local
hydrologic conditions indicate that storm flow is still occurring at a site after a rain event.
1.4.2 Field Screening and Sampling Procedures
For consistency purposes, sampling will be conducted in accordance with the guidance
developed by the Co- permittees. A copy of the guidance document is provided in Appendix X.
Field screening consists of a series of qualitative field observations, flow measurement, and
field analyses of selected water quality parameters. Information relating to weather conditions,
the amount of time since last rainfall/ storm discharge, and type of stormwater conveyance
should also be recorded. The specific observations and results of the field water quality
analyses are recorded on a standard field data sheet. Figure 1 is an example of a field data
sheet that may be used by Copermittees to record field screening information. The data sheet
will also serve as a record of the field visit and must be completed for every site visit, regardless
of whether or not flow was present and samples were collected. The data sheet can also be
used to record the results of the laboratory analytical monitoring and should be submitted to the
SDRWQCB as part of the dry weather monitoring report for the jurisdiction.
Following are the activities performed during the field screening process.
1. Qualitative Observations - Qualitative field observations are made during each site visit
whether or not ponded or flowing water is observed. These observations are intended to
provide a general assessment of the site and include variables like odor, water clarity,
the presence of floatables, visible deposits/ stains, and biological status. Evidence of
present or past illicit discharges and illegal connections to the MS4 can often be
ascertained by careful field observations. Each field screening location is photographed
to provide additional information and documentation of site conditions.
2. Flow measurement - Flow measurements or estimates are made during each dry
weather monitoring site visit. Flow measurements can be used to estimate pollutant
Dry Weather Analytical and Field Screening Monitoring Program Page 8 -2
mass loading, prioritize storm drains for future investigation, or to identify significant
changes in discharge that may be indicative of an illegal release upstream. Flow
measurement can be very difficult if the flow is shallow. Shallow flow makes it difficult to
measure either depth or velocity. In addition, for very low flow in a large diameter pipe,
the flow estimation methods breakdown. In this case, the flow will be estimated using
velocity and area of flow as best possible.
3. Field water quality analyses - At each site with ponded or flowing water, grab samples
should be collected and field analyzed for the following constituents:
• Specific conductance
• Tempe_ rature
pH
• Turbidity
• Nitrate -N
• Ammonia -N
• Reactive Phosphorus (Ortho -P)
Dry weather field screening samples are measured with a suitable combination of field
meters, test strips, colorimetric, and spectrophotometric test methods. Field personnel
are trained to achieve consistent, accurate results from the observational, flow
estimation, and field analytical monitoring components. Field instruments are calibrated
daily and the viability of test kit reagents are checked regularly. Periodically, sample
splits are sent to the laboratory for analysis of the above constituents in order to assess
the accuracy of their field testing methods. Duplicate samples may be analyzed in the
field to assess precision. Collected data is recorded on the Dry Weather Storm Drain
monitoring Data and Observation Sheet.
4. Laboratory Analytical Monitoring - At a minimum, 25% of the sites where ponded or
flowing water is observed, grab samples are collected and submitted for analysis to a
laboratories certified by the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP)
Division of the California Department of Health Services (currently, the City uses the
Encina Wastewater Treatment Facility laboratory). Only EPA - approved methods may be
used to analyze the samples. Samples are tested for the following constituents:
• Total Hardness
• Surfactants (MBAS)
• Oil and Grease
• Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos
• Dissolved Cadmium, Copper, Lead, and Zinc
• Enterococcus, Total Coliform, and Fecal Coliform Bacteria
A summary of laboratory sampling and analytical requirements for a range of water
quality parameters is provided in Table 1. Field personnel must also follow strict
sampling and chain -of- custody protocols when conducting dry weather analytical
monitoring. Proper chain -of- custody records provide critical documentation in
enforcement cases involving illegal discharges.
The sampling stations selected for laboratory sampling correspond to locations with the
highest probability of illicit discharges
Dry Weather Analytical and Field Screening Monitoring Program Page 8 -3
1.4.3 Recommended Action Levels and Data Interpretation
An action level is a specific pollutant concentration that will trigger a source identification
investigation when it is exceeded during dry weather monitoring. The development of effective
action levels requires knowledge of background pollutant levels and relevant water quality
criteria. Unfortunately, background levels for many of the field screening and laboratory
parameters in San Diego County are not known at the present time, although Encinitas does
have a few years of dry weather data. For this reason, the Copermittee Monitoring Workgroup
has developed two primary approaches and one secondary approach to assist the Copermittees
in interpreting their dry weather field screening and analytical monitoring data. The primary
approaches are (1) the use of numeric action levels, and (2) the identification of highly elevated
analyte concentrations using a simple statistical method to calculate confidence intervals. The
secondary approach involves the use of best professional judgment when interpreting all dry
weather water quality data and /or field observations. The secondary approach should always
be used in conjunction with the two primary approaches listed above and is the primary
approach for interpreting turbidity and temperature data. All three approaches are described in
detail below.
Numeric action levels - The use of numeric action levels is the primary approach for
interpreting pH, orthophosphate, nitrate, ammonia, conductivity, MBAS, and oil and
grease data results (Table 2). If these action levels are exceeded, then a source
identification investigation to determine the cause of the elevated levels is necessary
unless best professional judgment indicates otherwise.
2. Statistical confidence interval - The identification of highly elevated concentrations using
confidence intervals is the primary approach for interpreting diazinon, chlorpyrifos,
dissolved trace metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn), total and fecal coliform bacteria, and
enterococcus data. A running 90% confidence interval as dry weather results are
collected is calculated. If a reading exceeds the calculated confidence interval_ and a
pre- established water quality criterion (see Table 2) then that result is considered a
statistical outlier. The sampling site is then a candidate for source identification
investigation unless best professional judgment indicates otherwise.
As the 2002 dry weather samples are collected for all Copermittees, a substantial
amount of water quality data for the above - listed parameters will be compiled. This data
should allow the determination of regional, jurisdictional - specific, or conveyance - specific
background levels for the 2003 dry weather season for many or all of the parameters.
The various action levels and the usefulness of identifying outlier values with confidence
intervals will be re- evaluated after the 2002 dry weather season.
3. Best professional judgment - The use of best professional judgment is the primary
approach for interpreting turbidity and water temperature data, and the secondary
approach for interpreting the results of all other field and laboratory analyses. The use of
best professional judgment may indicate that results, which either exceed certain action
levels or are statistical outliers, may be the result of natural or background factors. For
example, conditions such as highly elevated summertime water temperatures in
exposed concrete conveyances, high ambient pH ( >9.0) levels due to photosynthesis
and CO2 depletion, or elevated NO3 or electrical conductivity readings in channels with
high groundwater input are unrelated to illicit discharges and illegal connections.
Dry Weather Analytical and Field Screening Monitoring Program Page 8 -4
Other relevant factors that are considered include the type of MS4 conveyance (i.e.
storm drain, open concrete channel, natural channel, receiving water, etc.), the status of
downstream receiving waters, and weather conditions when the

samples /measurements were collected. Conversely, qualitative observations
(dead animals, strong odors, the presence of an oily sheen on the water surface,
excessive floatables or trash, etc.) may indicate that serious water quality
problems are present at a location when field and analytical sampling results are
either within action or confidence limits or not immediately available.
When the results of field screening or laboratory analytical sampling exceed the
action levels or guidelines presented in Table 2, the results are initially confirmed
by resampling. In the case of a field analytical result, usually the resample
should be collected within 24 hours after the initial sample. If the follow up
results confirm the presence of elevated pollutant levels then field personnel
either initiate source identification investigation. If visual and/ or analytical
evidence of gross contamination is present at a site (e.g. substantial petroleum
sheen, extremely high ammonia concentration, evidence of a sewage release)
then an immediate source identification investigation is warranted.
When a laboratory sample exceeds the action level guidelines in Table 2, a
source identification investigation should be initiated as soon as possible after
receiving the initial result. However, resampling should also be performed to
confirm the initial laboratory results. In order to expedite the progress of source
identification studies, field test kits may be used even if a laboratory analyzed the
initial sample (e.g. copper, MBAS).
1.4.4 Reporting of Dry Weather Monitoring Results
Two types of reporting are required for the dry weather monitoring results; annual
reporting of results, and reporting to the RWQCB when events of non - compliance are
discovered.
Dry weather analytical monitoring and field screening may indicate an illicit discharge. If,
upon investigation, a release is found to be a significant threat to human or
environmental health, the discharge will be reported to the SDRWQCB as per
Attachment C, Section B.6, of the Municipal Permit. Oral notification will be made within
24 hours followed by a written description of the incident within 5 days.
Dry weather analytical monitoring results will be submitted to the SDRWQCB as part of
the Jurisdictional URMP Annual Report on January 31, 2003 and every year thereafter.
The monitoring results will consist of field screening results and observations, as well as
laboratory analytical data.
The field screening results will be recorded on the field screening data and observation
sheets and entered into a monitoring database. A spreadsheet of the field results will be
maintained in the monitoring database, allowing for generation of tables and graphs.
Laboratory data generated by the dry weather monitoring will be entered into the
database, as well. Data will be reported in tabular format directly from the spreadsheet.
Data will also be interpreted graphically to show comparisons between sampling points
as well as trends at specific points over time. The trend analysis will be possible due to
the previous dry weather monitoring efforts of the City. The monitoring database will be
linked to other databases, such as a source database and a GIS database, allowing for
further interpretation of the data. The field screening and observation sheets, and the
Dry Weather Analytical and Field Screening Monitoring Program Page 8 -6
laboratory data will be supplemented by bar graphs and charts, to be included in the
submittal to the SDRWQCB in the annual report.

The referenced action levels should not be the sole criteria for initiating a source identification investigation. Dry weather monitoring data
should be interpreted using a variety of available information. Factors that should be considered include within -site and between -site
sample variability.
ZTurbidity data will be re- evaluated after the 2002 dry weather season to determine whether action levels can be established for 2003.
3 The statistical outlier test uses the mean and standard deviation of a dry weather data set to determine whether a sample concentration
exceeds a given confidence interval (usually 90 or 95 %). Those readings that are above the confidence interval and exceed the referenced
guidelines are identified as outliers and are appropriate for source identification.

• Latex gloves
• Protective eyeglasses or goggles
• Rubber boots
• Cooler and ice
• Paper towels
• Tape for securing cooler
• Sample bottles with preservatives
• Polypropylene bucket with rope, or sampling rod to collect samples from larger bodies
of water
• Portable field test kits, colorimeters, or spectrophotometer and all reagents for these
meters.
• Multi- parameter or individual probes to measure temperature, electrical conductivity,
and pH

• De- ionized or ultra pure water in squeeze bottles for rinsing, dilutions, etc. (depending
on methods used)
• Thermometer for measuring air temperature (optional)
• Waste disposal bottles
• Boat (for sampling lagoon sites)
2. Sampling Procedures and Submission
Dry weather monitoring typically involves the collection of grab samples only. The following
procedures apply:
1.Use appropriate containers. See 40 CFR Part 136 for container types. Laboratories
routinely provide pre - cleaned sample bottles with preservatives already added.
a. Rinse the container with the sample at least twice. Do not rinse pre - cleaned,
preserved containers, as the preservative will be lost.
b. Use the proper preservatives. Use only analytical or higher grade reagents for
preserving samples. Store samples in an ice chest at 4° C until custody is l
transferred to the analytical laboratory directly or via contracted courier.
E -1
C. Avoid contaminating the sample. Wear latex gloves.
2. If practical, collect the sample at about 60% of the stream depth (from the surface) in
an area of maximum turbulence (except when sampling for volatile organics). Avoid
stagnant pools near the edge of flowing streams unless sampling stagnant pools. Enter
the channel downstream of the sampling location and move upstream, disturbing as
little of the bottom material as possible.
3. Record all qualitative observations and field testing results on the field data sheet.
Estimate the flow rate as described on the back of the field data sheet. Also note any
changes to standard procedures (for whatever reason), and describe any unusual or
noteworthy conditions or results in detail on the bottom of the sheet.
4. Dispose of all spent reagents, reacted samples, and rinse solutions in the appropriate
waste containers. Upon returning to the office or laboratory, decant these wastes into
the sewer system of the office or laboratory unless otherwise instructed by the sewering
agency. Be sure to clean all equipment (recheck calibration if any results were
questionable), and restock reagents (if necessary).
5. If filtering samples in the field for dissolved trace metals analysis, do not preserve with
HNO3 until after the sample is filtered. If field personnel are submitting unfiltered
samples for dissolved trace metals analysis those samples should not be preserved with
HNO3.
6. Samples collected for laboratory analysis should be submitted to the laboratory as soon
as possible after collection. Complete the following tasks:
1. Fill out the chain -of custody form making sure that all sample bottles are
correctly labeled
2. Carefully pack the sample bottles in the cooler
3. Transport the samples to the laboratory
4. Complete the chain -of- custody form
Automatic sampling methods may be useful during some source identification or enforcement
investigations. Investigators should refer to the manufacturer's instructions for operating
automatic sampling equipment.
3. Equipment Maintenance
In order to ensure the quality of field results, maintenance of equipment must be given a high
priority. All equipment must be cleaned and serviced at the end of a field shift.
1. All water quality meters must be calibrated in the laboratory or office before field use.
Calibration solutions should remain uncontaminated and not be used after their
expiration dates.
2. Field meters and cameras must be in proper working order. Make sure that batteries
have sufficient voltage to power the equipment for the entire field trip. Recharge or
E -2
replace them as necessary. Keep extra batteries in the instrument case. Probes should
be inspected, cleaned and reconditioned regularly. I
3. Clean and rinse all other sampling equipment after returning from the field. Store clean
equipment in clear polyethylene bags or storage cases.
4. Glassware used in the field (e.g. graduated cylinders for sample dilutions, test kit flasks
and/ or beakers) should be cleaned immediately after usage. Use laboratory detergent,
a brush, and hot tap water or 10% Analytical Grade HCL Rinse three to four times
with deionized water and wipe the outside of the glassware dry with a white paper
towel. Dry in an inverted position. Store the dry glassware in the cabinets with
stoppers intact (volumetric flasks) or in an inverted position (beakers).
4. Quality Control/ Quality Assurance
QA samples can be in the form of replicates, spikes, field blanks, method blanks, or synthetic
samples. Dry weather monitoring programs can use these various types of QA/ QC samples to
assess the accuracy and precision of the field and laboratory analyses performed for their dry
weather monitoring programs.
1. Replicate samples can be collected periodically and submitted to the analytical laboratory
to assess the accuracy of the field analyses for nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, electrical
conductivity, pH, and turbidity.
2. Replicate samples are used to assess laboratory or field precision. They should be
collected in the field in one container and split into two samples for analysis.
3. Spiked samples can be' prepared in the field or the Copermittee's laboratory/ office. A
field sample is spiked with known amounts of analytes and the total volume of this
fraction is adjusted to a specific volume (usually 1 liter) using a portion of the original
sample as makeup water. Make sure that the volume of the added spike is small
compared to the volume of the sample to which it is added.
4. Blank samples must be prepared with deionized or ultrapure water (resistivity greater
than 17 mega ohms). A trip blank is prepared by filling a sample container in the
laboratory/ office and transporting it on a routine monitoring assignment, preserving it in
the field (noting the station location), and submitting it with a normal batch of samples.
Method or equipment blanks are prepared using the same methods used to collect,
process, or contain samples before submittal to the laboratory. An example of an
equipment blank would be pouring deionized water into a sample container to test the
cleanliness of the container.
5. Synthetic samples can be prepared using aliquots of commercially prepared standards or
from EPA quality assurance ampules. Deionized water should be used as makeup water
and analytical grade NaCI should be used to adjust the electrical conductivity of the QA
sample into the range of the environmental samples.

S. Health and Safety
Dry weather water sampling may occur when the sampling environment and discharges create
hazardous conditions. Use safety precautions at all times when conducting dry weather
monitoring.
Safety Guidelines
• Keep a first aid kit with field equipment.
• Watch out for traffic along the access road when sampling or making observations.
• Do NOT remain in open areas or stand under trees if lightning is occurring in the
vicinity.
• Watch your step; the ground may be wet and slippery, steep, or unstable. Do not
attempt to climb down unsafe slopes.
• Always wear clean latex rubber gloves when sampling.
• Protect eyes and skin against contact with acids and other preservatives.
• Use common sense when deciding whether to sample during adverse weather
conditions. This program is intended to assess dry weather conditions. Do not sample
during dangerous conditions such as high winds, lightning storms, or flooding
conditions that might be unsafe.
• Do not enter channels during periods of high flow. The general rule of thumb is: If the
product of the water depth in feet and the velocity in feet per second is greater than 10,
or the level is above your waist, don't go in.
• Do not enter confined spaces
• Follow all analytical procedures as prescribed in the equipment manuals. Heed all
warnings and precautionary statements.
• Be familiar with Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemicals used in the field and
when calibrating instruments. Know the health hazards and emergency medical
treatments, and follow proper disposal instructions.
Safety Equipment
The following safety equipment is recommended for use during dry weather sampling:
• First aid kit
• Safety glasses
• Latex gloves
• Rubber boots
• Safety rope
