Subject: Rough Grading Pad Certification for the lot located at 3003 Wildflower
Drive, Encinitas, CA. (APN: 264-091-93)(Grading Permit No. 713-GI)
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Section 23.24.3 10 of the Encinitas Municipal Code, this letter is
hereby submitted as a Pad Certification Letter for the subject project.
On 5 June 2008, we performed a field survey of the rough graded subject
house pad. Grading consisted of processing the upper 12 inches of the surface
soils in order to level the pad. Since there was no import fill soils placed on the
pad during the re-grading operation, it is our opinion that the existing pad grade
elevation was 281.0. Various finish grade spot elevations were shot on the pad
and the following are the results of our survey:
Existing Pad Elevation = 281.0
Point A = 281.0 Point D = 281.0
Point B = 281.2 Point E = 281.3
Point C = 281.1 Point F = 281.2
As indicated above, the subject graded house pad has been found to be
within 0.3 foot of the existing elevation. I hereby state that re-grading for the
subject site has been completed in conformance with the requirements of the City
of Encinitas, Codes and Standards.
Should you have any questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

3.) Project Grading Plan prepared by B &B Engineering of
San Marcos, California.
Dear Mr. Bedford:
In response to your request,the following report has been prepared to indicate results of soil
testing, observations,and inspection of earthwork construction at the subject site.
Testing and inspection services were performed from May 1,2008 through May 21,2008.
Briefly, our findings reveal filled ground has been compacted to a minimum of ninety percent
(90%). Therefore, we recommend construction continue as scheduled.
SCOPE
Our firm was retained to observe grading operations with regard to current standard practices and
to determine the degree of compaction of placed fill.
Grading and stormwater management plans were prepared by B &B Engineering of San Marcos,
California.
Grading operations were performed by J. C. Grading of Valley Center, California.

Approximate locations and depth of filled ground and extent of earthwork construction covered in
this report are indicated on the attached Plate No. One entitled, "Test Location Sketch".
Remedial grading operations were performed in order to re-grade the upper three feet of the
existing building pad to accommodate the proposed single family dwelling, detached garage, and
swimming pool. Limits of grading were carried throughout the realm of the building pad surface.
Should the finished pad be altered in any way, we should be contacted to provide additional
recommendations.
The site was graded in accordance with recommendations set forth in the "As Graded Preliminary
Soils Investigation",prepared by North County Compaction Engineering, Inc. (Reference No. 2).
The site was graded to approximately conform to project plans. Actual pad size and elevation may
differ. Finish grade operations are to be completed at a later date.
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative soils samples were collected and returned to the laboratory for testing. The
following tests were performed and are tabulated on the attached Plate No. Three.
1. Optimum Moisture/Maximum Density(ASTM D-1557)
2. Expansion Potential Test(FHA Standard)
3. Direct Shear(ASTM D-3080)
SOIL CONDITIONS
Native soils encountered were gravelly clayey-sands. Fill soils were generated from on-site
excavation.
The proposed structures will be founded entirely on a compacted fill mat. Therefore,the potential
for differential settlement will be reduced.
On-site soils were found to have an expansion index of 35 and are classified as being
"Low" in expansion potential.

Fill soils were placed,watered,and compacted in 6 inch lifts. During earthwork construction,
areas where fill was placed were scarified, watered,and compacted to a minimum of ninety
percent(90%). To determine the degree of compaction, field density tests were performed in
accordance with ASTM D-1556 or D-2922 at the approximate horizontal locations designated on
the attached Plate No. One entitled, "Test Location Sketch". A tabulation of test results and their
vertical locations are presented on the attached Plate No. Two entitled"Tabulation of Test
Results". During grading operations, all fill soils found to have a relative compaction of less the
ninety percent(90%) were reworked until proper compaction was achieved.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Continuous inspection was not requested to verify fill soils are placed in accordance with current
standard practices regarding grading operations and earthwork construction. Therefore, as
economically feasible as possible,part-time inspection was provided. Hence,the following
recommendations are based on the assumption that all areas tested are representative of the entire
project.
1.) Compacted fill and natural ground within the defined building areas have
adequate strength to safely support the proposed loads.
2.) Slopes may be considered stable with relation to deep seated failure provided
they are properly maintained. Slopes should be planted with light groundcover(no
gorilla ice plant) indigenous to the area. Drainage should be diverted away from the
slopes to prevent water flowing on the face of slope. This will reduce the
probability of failure as a result of erosion.
3.) In our opinion, soil liquefaction at the site is unlikely to occur due to the
following on-site soils conditions:
A). Groundwater was not encountered at the time of grading.
B). Loose compressible top soils were removed to firm native
ground and recompacted to a minimum of ninety percent(90%)
of maximum dry density.
C). The dense nature of the formation underlying the site.
D). On-site soils possess relatively high cohesion characteristics.

4.) Continuous footings having a minimum width of 12 inches and founded a
minimum of 24 inches below lowest adjacent grade,will have an estimated
allowable bearing value of 1500 pounds per square foot.
5.) Footings located on or adjacent to slopes should be founded at a depth such
that the horizontal distance from the bottom outside face of footing to the face of
the slope is a minimum of 8 feet.
6.) Plumbing trenches should be backfilled with a non-expansive soil having a
swell of less than two percent(2%) and a minimum sand equivalent of 30. Backfill
soils should be inspected and compacted to a minimum of ninety percent(90%).
7.) Unless requested,recommendations for future improvements (additions,
recreation slabs, additional grading, etc.) Were not included in this report. Prior to
construction,we should be contacted to update conditions and provide additional
recommendations.
8.) Completion of grading operations was left at rough grade. Therefore,we
recommend a landscape architect be contacted to provide finish grade and drainage
recommendations.Drainage recommendations should include a two percent(2%)
minimum fall away from all foundation zones.
9.)Prior to construction of the proposed pool,the pool contractor should be
contacted for concrete and reinforcement design. Pool excavation spoil should be
hauled off-site or properly placed on site under the supervision of our firm. The
pool should be designed with regard to expansive soils (Expansion Index of 35).
10.)"Low"expansive soils conditions observed during grading operations will
require special recommendations to reduce structural damage occurring from
excessive subgrade and foundation movement.
11.) All foundations should be constructed in accordance with the expansive
soil recommendations presented in the"As Graded Preliminary Soils
Investigation" prepared by North County Compaction Engineering,Inc. ,
(Reference No. 2).

12.) Clayey soils should not be allowed to dry prior to placing concrete..They should be
watered to insure they are kept in a very moist condition or at a moisture content
exceeding optimum moisture content by a minimum of five percent(5%).
Prior to pouring of concrete,Terra Technology Engineering,Inc. should be contacted to inspect
foundation recommendations for compliance to those set forth.
CHANGE OF SOILS ENGINEER STATEMENT
We have reviewed the"As Graded Preliminary Soils Investigation"prepared by North County
Compaction Engineering, Inc. and dated October 28, 2003 (Reference No. 2).
We concur with their findings, conclusions, and recommendations and are satisfied with the
report. Therefore, we assume all responsibility within our purview as the new soils engineer of
record.

UNCERTAINTY AND LIMITATIONS
It should be noted,foundation inspections on projects located within the county of San Diego
jurisdiction may not require inspection by our firm. Therefore,the project owner and/or the
general contractor may waive the inspection and assume responsibility to assure that all
recommendations presented in this report are incorporated into the construction phase of the
project. However, Terra Technology Engineering,Inc. cannot assume liability for projects not
inspected by our firm.
In the event foundation excavation and steel placement inspection is required and/or requested, an
additional cost of$190.00 will be invoiced to perform the field inspection and prepare a"Final
Conformance Letter". If foundations are constructed in more than one phase, $140.00 for each
additional inspection will be invoiced. (Same applies for pool excavation inspections.)
It is the responsibility of the owner and/or his representative to carry out recommendations set
forth in this report.
San Diego County is located in a high risk area with regard to earthquake. Earthquake resistant
projects are economically unfeasible.Therefore, damage as a result of earthquake is probable and
we assume no liability.
This report covers soils testing, observations and inspection of earthwork construction from a
soils engineering standpoint of view. Geologic conditions and/or hazards at the site were not
surveyed. If requested, geologic stability of the site should be evaluated by a certified engineering
geologist. Therefore,we assume no liability for geologic hazard.
We assume the on-site safety of our personnel only. We cannot assume liability of personnel other
than our own. It is the responsibility of the owner and contractor to insure construction operations
are conducted in a safe manner and in conformance with regulations governed by CAL-OSHA
and/or local agencies.

testing,observations, and inspection of earthwork construction at the subject site.
Testing and inspection services were performed from May 1,2008 through May 21,2008.
Briefly, our findings reveal filled ground has been compacted to a minimum of ninety percent
(90%). Therefore,we recommend construction continue as scheduled.
SCOPE
Our firm was retained to observe grading operations with regard to current standard practices and
to determine the degree of compaction of placed fill.
Grading and stormwater management plans were prepared by B &B Engineering of San Marcos,
California.
Grading operations were performed by J. C. Grading of Valley Center, California.

Approximate locations and depth of filled ground and extent of earthwork construction covered in
this report are indicated on the attached Plate No. One entitled, "Test Location Sketch".
Remedial grading operations were performed in order to re-grade the upper three feet of the
existing building pad to accommodate the proposed single family dwelling, detached garage, and
swimming pool. Limits of grading were carried throughout the realm of the building pad surface.
Should the finished pad be altered in any way, we should be contacted to provide additional
recommendations.
The site was graded in accordance with recommendations set forth in the"As Graded Preliminary
Soils Investigation",prepared by North County Compaction Engineering, Inc. (Reference No. 2).
The site was graded to approximately conform to project plans. Actual pad size and elevation may
differ. Finish grade operations are to be completed at a later date.
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative soils samples were collected and returned to the laboratory for testing. The
following tests were performed and are tabulated on the attached Plate No. Three.
1. Optimum Moisture/Maximum Density(ASTM D-1557)
2. Expansion Potential Test(FHA Standard)
3. Direct Shear(ASTM D-3080)
SOIL CONDITIONS
Native soils encountered were gravelly clayey-sands. Fill soils were generated from on-site
excavation.
The proposed structures will be founded entirely on a compacted fill mat. Therefore,the potential
for differential settlement will be reduced.
On-site soils were found to have an expansion index of 35 and are classified as being
"Low" in expansion potential.

Fill soils were placed,watered, and compacted in 6 inch lifts. During earthwork construction,
areas where fill was placed were scarified, watered, and compacted to a minimum of ninety
percent(90%). To determine the degree of compaction, field density tests were performed in
accordance with ASTM D-1556 or D-2922 at the approximate horizontal locations designated on
the attached Plate No. One entitled, "Test Location Sketch". A tabulation of test results and their
vertical locations are presented on the attached Plate No. Two entitled"Tabulation of Test
Results". During grading operations, all fill soils found to have a relative compaction of less the
ninety percent(90%)were reworked until proper compaction was achieved.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Continuous inspection was not requested to verify fill soils are placed in accordance with current
standard practices regarding grading operations and earthwork construction. Therefore, as
economically feasible as possible,part-time inspection was provided. Hence,the following
recommendations are based on the assumption that all areas tested are representative of the entire
project.
1.) Compacted fill and natural ground within the defined building areas have
adequate strength to safely support the proposed loads.
2.) Slopes may be considered stable with relation to deep seated failure provided
they are properly maintained. Slopes should be planted with light groundcover(no
gorilla ice plant) indigenous to the area. Drainage should be diverted away from the
slopes to prevent water flowing on the face of slope. This will reduce the
probability of failure as a result of erosion.
3.) In our opinion, soil liquefaction at the site is unlikely to occur due to the
following on-site soils conditions:
A). Groundwater was not encountered at the time of grading.
B). Loose compressible top soils were removed to firm native
ground and recompacted to a minimum of ninety percent(90%)
of maximum dry density.
Q. The dense nature of the formation underlying the site.
D). On-site soils possess relatively high cohesion characteristics.

4.) Continuous footings having a minimum width of 12 inches and founded a
minimum of 24 inches below lowest adjacent grade,will have an estimated
allowable bearing value of 1500 pounds per square foot.
5.) Footings located on or adjacent to slopes should be founded at a depth such
that the horizontal distance from the bottom outside face of footing to the face of
the slope is a minimum of 8 feet.
6.) Plumbing trenches should be backfilled with a non-expansive soil having a
swell of less than two percent(2%) and a minimum sand equivalent of 30. Backfill
soils should be inspected and compacted to a minimum of ninety percent(90%).
7.) Unless requested,recommendations for future improvements (additions,
recreation slabs,additional grading, etc.) Were not included in this report. Prior to
construction,we should be contacted to update conditions and provide additional
recommendations.
8.) Completion of grading operations was left at rough grade. Therefore, we
recommend a landscape architect be contacted to provide finish grade and drainage
recommendations. Drainage recommendations should include a two percent(2%)
minimum fall away from all foundation zones.
9.)Prior to construction of the proposed pool,the pool contractor should be
contacted for concrete and reinforcement design. Pool excavation spoil should be
hauled off-site or properly placed on site under the supervision of our firm. The
pool should be designed with regard to expansive soils (Expansion Index of 35).
10.) "Low"expansive soils conditions observed during grading operations will
require special recommendations to reduce structural damage occurring from
excessive subgrade and foundation movement.
11.)All foundations should be constructed in accordance with the expansive
soil recommendations presented in the"As Graded Preliminary Soils
Investigation" prepared by North County Compaction Engineering,Inc. ,
(Reference No. 2).

12.) Clayey soils should not be allowed to dry prior to placing concrete. They should be
watered to insure they are kept in a very moist condition or at a moisture content
exceeding optimum moisture content by a minimum of five percent(5%).
Prior to pouring of concrete,Terra Technology Engineering, Inc. should be contacted to inspect
foundation recommendations for compliance to those set forth.
CHANGE OF SOILS ENGINEER STATEMENT
We have reviewed the"As Graded Preliminary Soils Investigation"prepared by North County
Compaction Engineering, Inc. and dated October 28, 2003 (Reference No. 2).
We concur with their findings, conclusions, and recommendations and are satisfied with the
report. Therefore,we assume all responsibility within our purview as the new soils engineer of
record.

UNCERTAINTY AND LIMITATIONS
It should be noted, foundation inspections on projects located within the county of San Diego
jurisdiction may not require inspection by our firm. Therefore, the project owner and/or the
general contractor may waive the inspection and assume responsibility to assure that all
recommendations presented in this report are incorporated into the construction phase of the
project. However,Terra Technology Engineering,Inc. cannot assume liability for projects not
inspected by our firm.
In the event foundation excavation and steel placement inspection is required and/or requested, an
additional cost of$190.00 will be invoiced to perform the field inspection and prepare a"Final
Conformance Letter". If foundations are constructed in more than one phase, $140.00 for each
additional inspection will be invoiced. (Same applies for pool excavation inspections.)
It is the responsibility of the owner and/or his representative to carry out recommendations set
forth in this report.
San Diego County is located in a high risk area with regard to earthquake. Earthquake resistant
projects are economically unfeasible. Therefore,damage as a result of earthquake is probable and
we assume no liability.
This report covers soils testing, observations and inspection of earthwork construction from a
soils engineering standpoint of view. Geologic conditions and/or hazards at the site were not
surveyed. If requested, geologic stability of the site should be evaluated by a certified engineering
geologist. Therefore,we assume no liability for geologic hazard.
We assume the on-site safety of our personnel only. We cannot assume liability of personnel other
than our own. It is the responsibility of the owner and contractor to insure construction operations
are conducted in a safe manner and in conformance with regulations governed by CAL-OSHA
and/or local agencies.

Dear Mr. & Mrs_ Petrus:
In response to your request, the following report has been prepared to indicate results of soil
testing, observations, and inspection of earthwork construction at the subject site.
Testing and inspection services were performed from December 17, 2003 through
January 7, 2004.
Briefly, our findings reveal filled ground has been compacted to a minimum of ninety percent
(90%). Therefore, we recommend construction continue as scheduled.
SCOPE
Our firm was retained to observe grading operations with regard to current standard practices and
to determine the degree of compaction of placed fill.
Grading and stormwater management plans were prepared by San Dieguito Engineering of
Encinitas, California.
Grading operations were performed by GWG of Vista, California.
Reference is made to our "As-Graded Preliminary Soils Investigation", dated October 28, 2003.

Approximate locations and depth of filled ground and extent of earthwork construction covered
in this report are indicated on the attached Plate No. One entitled, "Test Location Sketch".
Remedial grading was performed on the existing building pad for the purpose of removing and
recompacting cut/fill transitional areas at finish grade. In our opinion, this will allow the
structure to bear entirely on a compacted fill mat thus reducing the potential of differential
settlement. In addition, it will allow easy uniform trenching across the building pad for utilities
and footing excavations due to the presence of near surface rock that could have interfered with
their placement.
The site was graded in accordance with recommendations set forth in our previously submitted
report.
The site was graded to approximately conform to project plans. Actual pad size and elevation
may differ. Finish grade operations are to be completed at a later date.
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative soils samples were collected and returned to the laboratory for testing. The
following tests were performed and are tabulated on the attached Plate No. Three.
1. Optimum Moisture/Maximum Density(ASTM D-1557)
2. Expansion Potential Test (FHA Standard)
SOIL CONDITIONS
Native soils encountered were silty-sand/clayey-sand gravel mixtures, silty-gravels and clayey-
gravels. Fill soils were generated from the on-site excavation.
The building site contained a transition from cut to fill. However, cut areas located within the
building areas were over excavated a minimum of 3 feet and brought to grade with compacted
soil. Transitional areas were removed throughout the realm of the building pad surface.
On-site soils were found to have an expansion index of 37 and are classified as being"low" in
expansion potential.

During earthwork construction, native areas to receive fill were scarified, watered, and
compacted to a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of maximum density. Fill soils were placed,
watered, and compacted in 6 inch lifts. To determine the degree of compaction, field density
tests were performed m accordance with ASTM D-1556 or D-2922 at the approximate horizontal
locations designated on the attached Plate No. One entitled, "Test Location Sketch". A tabulation
of test results and their vertical locations are presented on the attached Plate No. Two entitled
"Tabulation of Test Results". Fill soils found to have a relative compaction of less the ninety
percent (90%) were reworked until proper compaction was achieved.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Continuous inspection was not requested to verify fill soils are placed in accordance with current
standard practices regarding grading operations and earthwork construction. Therefore, as
economically feasible as possible, part-time inspection was provided. Hence, the following
recommendations are based on the assumption that all areas tested are representative of the entire
project-
1.) Compacted fill and natural ground within the defined building areas have
adequate strength to safely support the proposed loads.
2.) Slopes may be considered stable with relation to deep seated failure provided
they are properly maintained. Slopes should be planted within 30 days with light
groundcover (no gorilla ice plant) indigenous to the area. Drainage should be
diverted away from the slopes to prevent water flowing on the face of slope. This w111
reduce the probability of failure as a result of erosion.
3.) In our opinion, soil liquefaction at the site is unlikely to occur due to the
following on-site soils conditions:
A). Groundwater was not encountered at the time of grading.
B)_ Fill ground and loose topsoils were compacted to a minimum of
ninety percent(90%) of maximum dry density.
Q. The dense nature of the formation underlying the site.

4.) Continuous footings having a minimum width of 12 inches and founded a
minimum of 24 inches below lowest adjacent grade will have an allowable soils
bearing pressure of 1500 pounds per square foot.
5.) Footings located on or adjacent to slopes should be founded at a depth such
that the horizontal distance from the bottom outside face of footing to the face of
the slope is a minimum of 8 feet.
6.) All foundations should be constructed in accordance with the
recommendations presented in our"As-Graded Preliminary Soils
Investigation" dated October 28, 2003.
7.) Plumbing trenches should be backfilled with a non-expansive soil having a
swell of less than two percent (2%) and a minimum sand equivalent of 30.
Backfill soils should be inspected and compacted to a minimum of ninety percent
(90%).
8.) Completion of grading operations were left at rough grade_ Therefore, we
recommend a landscape architect be contacted to provide finish grade and
drainage recommendations. Drainage recommendations should include a
minimum fall of two percent(2%) away from foundation zones. To further protect
water penetration of the zone, rain gutters should be installed to divert run-off.
Landscape planter areas within 4 feet of the foundation should be avoided and/or
designed with sealed bottoms and a drain system.
9.) Unless requested, recommendations for future improvements (additions,
recreation slabs, additional grading, etc_) were not included in this report. Prior to
construction, we should be contacted to update conditions and provide additional
recommendations.
Prior to pouring of concrete, North County COMPACTION ENGINEERING, INC. should be
contacted to inspect foundation recommendations for compliance to those set forth.
Foundation recommendations presented in this report should be considered minimal. Therefore,
we recommend the project architect and structural engineer review this report to assure
recommendations presented herein will be suitable with regard to the type of construction
planned.

When the future swimming pool is constructed, we should be contacted to inspect the pool
excavation to assure that adverse soil conditions do not exist.
UNCERTATNTY AND LIMITATIONS
In the event foundation excavation and steel placement inspection is required and/or requested,
an additional cost of$190.00 will be invoiced to perform the field inspection and prepare a
"Final Conformance Letter". If foundations are constructed in more than one phase, $140.00 for
each additional inspection will be invoiced. (Same applies for pool excavation inspections.)
It is the responsibility of the owner and/or his representative to carry out recommendations set
forth in this report.
San Diego County is located in a high risk area with regard to earthquake. Earthquake resistant
projects are economically unfeasible. Therefore, damage as a result of earthquake is probable and
we assume no liability.
We assume the on-site safety of our personnel ordy. We cannot assume liability of personnel
other than our own. It is the responsibility of the owner and contractor to insure construction
operations are conducted in a safe manner and in conformance with regulations governed by
CAI-.-OSHA and/or local agencies.

Hydrology and Hydraulics Report
City of Encinitas
This Hydraulics and Hydrology Report was prepared using the following
Manuals:
Hydrology Manual, County of San Diego, 2003
_. The Rational Method was used to determine the 100 yr. Storm Q values.
The Rational Method uses the following formula to establish 100 year flow:
Q= CIA
where,
Q = the peak runoff in cubic feet per second
C = Runoff coefficient representing the ration of runoff to rainfall
I = time average intensity in inches per hour
A = Area of subbasin in acres
Project Description
This 3 acre project site is a vacant, graded pad within the Wildflower
subdivision. The proposed work includes the construction of a single family
estate home with detached garage, and pool house. The site preparation
will disturb approximately 1.3 acre.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to identify the historical drainage pattern and
compare that with the proposed drainage pattern and then calculate the Q
for the 100 year storm in each of basins impacted by the development. The
attached report studies two onsite basins. As this project is at the top of a
ridge, there is no offsite flow associated with this project.
Basin A drains Northwesterly and covers the front of the house and front
yard.
Basin B drains southeasterly and covers the back of the house and the back
yard.
The storm flows in Basins A and B will be directed to a dispersion trenches
to provide treatment control for the drainage from the proposed impervious
surfaces within the development area. The dispersion trenches are detailed
on the project plans and will act as infiltration trenches under low flow.
During major storm events the trenches will spread the storm water for
sheet flow discharge. The required capacity of the trenches has been
calculated in the following report using the volume based Design Criteria.
TABLE OF Q VALUES:
Existing Condition Total
Basin A Q 100(undev) = 1.46 cfs
Basin B Q ,pp(undev.) = 2.24 cfs
Proposed Condition Total
100(Developed) �= 2.55 cfs
Basin B Q
100(Developed) .45 cfs
Change jn Q Basin A = +0.10 cfs
Change in_Q Basin B = +0 21 cfs
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The proposed drainage pattern will follow the existing, historical drainage
pattern. Both drainage basins will follow the same historical drainage
pattern via overland flow.
The lot will be landscaped extensively and will have a longer flowlines in the
post-developed condition. Because the flowline will increase the travel time,
the flow off the property will increase only slightly.
SUMMARYfCONCLUSIONS:
- The proposed project will not substantially alter the existing drainage
pattern. Minimal grading will take place as the pad has already
been graded. Approximately 30% of the property will remain in its
natural state. Runoff will continue to flow in the historical drainage
pattern but will only at slower rate due to the addition of dispersion
trenches where the runoff leaves the site.
- The proposed construction and post-construction BMPs address
mitigation measures to protect water quality and protection of water
quality objectives and beneficial uses to the maximum extent
practicable via the addition of dispersion trenches.

Mote that the Initial Time of Concentration should be reflective of the general land-use at the
upstream end of a drainage basin. A single lot with an area of two or less acres does not have
a significant effect where the drainage basin area is 20 to 600 acres.
Table 3-2 provides limits of the length (Maximum Length (LM)) of sheet flow to be used in
- hydrology studies. Initial T;values based on average C values for the Land Use Element are
also included. These values can be used in planning and design applications as described
below. Exceptions may be approved by the "Regulating Agency" when submitted with a
detailed study.
