Water Distribution System Analysis
The 2018 Master Plan water system distribution and pressure criteria are as follows:
Water Distribution In(i-astructure Criteria
The water service pressure criteria to be met by this development are as follows :
Minimum allowable pressure at peak hour demand: 40 psi Minimum allowable pressure at max day plus fire demand: 20 psi Maximum allowable pressure: 150 psi
The City of San Marcos Fire Marshall has set the required fire demand at 1,875 gpm (West End Residential Townhomes) & 1,688 gpm (East End - Commercial/Mixed Use) for the Project.
To avoid excessive velocity and headloss within the distribution system , the following pipeline design criteria was also utilized:
Maximum allowab le velocity: 7 feet per second
Maximum allowable headloss gradient:
Hazen-Williams C-factor:
Water Model Scenarios
15 feet per 1,000 feet
130
The following scenarios were modeled to identify system impacts that may be created by the proposed water demands , and to recommend any improvements required to provide service to the Project:
Average Day Demand with existing demands at the Project site Average Day Demand with the proposed Project
Maximum Day Demand with existing demands at the Project site Maximum Day Demand with the proposed Project
Peak Hour Demand with existing demands at the Project site Peak Hour Demand with the proposed Project
Maximum Day Demand plus Fire Flow with existing demands at the Project site Maximum Day Demand plus Fire Flow with the proposed Project Per the 2018 Master Plan, maximum day demands for this project are 300% those of average day demands, and peak hour demands are 620% those of average day demands .
Water Model Results
Modeling focused on the infrastructure in the direct vicinity of the Project. The model found that the Project did not create any distribution system deficiencies under average day demand or under maximum day plus fire flow demand conditions.

Waterr Starage Anall)?sis
The 2018 Master Plan outlines VWD's potable water storage reservoirs for each pressure zone as follows:
1.5 times ADD (operational storage) + 3.0 times ADD (emergency storage) + fire flow demand= 4.5 times ADD + fire flow demand
OR
5.0 times ADD, whichever is greater.
The Project is located entirely within the VWD 855 pressure zone. Water storage for this zone is located within the 920 zone and 1028 Twin Oaks pressure zones , as shown in Figure 1. Table 3 shows the required storage in the 855, 920, and 1028 Twin Oaks pressure zones for existing and ultimate build-out (Master Plan) conditions relative to the existing storage provided within each zone.
Table 3 - Existing Reservoir Storage Capacity and Requirements Existing Ultimate Existing

1028 Twin Oaks 0.66 3.06 73
Totals 10.01 50.05 20.25 101.25 91
The Project will increase the projected average water demand by approximately 28,967 gallons per day as shown in Table 1.
The amount of additional reservoir storage required is 500% of the development' s average day demand or:
28,967 gallons * 500% = 144,835 gallons
The analysis finds that water storage capacity is currently available to serve the Project 's increased storage requirements. Master Plan projects address and accommodate the ultimate build-out storage deficiency and Water Capital Facility Fees paid by this project will be used for the increase in storage necessitated by the Project 's demand calculated above.
Wa,ter Pump; Station Analysis
Since the proposed Project is located in a pressure zone that is not served by pumping , there are no impacts to existing or proposed pump stations by this Project.

Wastewater Lift Station Amtlysis
Lift stations are sized for peak wet weather flow with manufacturer 's recommended cycling times for pumping equipment. Since the proposed Project is not located in a sewer shed that is served by a lift station , there are no lift station upgrade requirements for this project.
Parallel Land Outfall Analysis
VWD 's existing land outfall is shown in Figure 6. The outfall is approximately 8 miles in length and consists of 4 gravity pipeline sections and 3 siphon sections varying in diameter from 20 inches to 54 inches. VWD maintain s the entire pipeline from Lift Station No. 1 to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF). From Lift Station No. 1 to El Camino Real, VWD is the sole user of this pipeline. From El Camino Real to the EWPCF , the ownership capacity is as shown in Table 6 below:

The Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility (MRF) has a capacity of 5.0 MGD with a peak wet weather capacity of 8.0 MGD. Therefore , VWD has a combined peak wet weather wastewater collection capacity of 20.10 MGD (12.10 MGD + 8.0 MGD).
VWD's 2014 average daily wastewater flow through the land outfall was 7.5 MGD. This corresponds to a peak wet weather flow of 17.5 MGD, which falls within VWD 's combined peak wet weather collection capacity .
The 2018 Master Plan estimated that, under approved land uses, VWD has an ultimate build-out average dry weather flow of 14.4 MGD. This con-esponds to a peak wet weather flow of 31.7 MGD, which exceeds VWD 's combined peak wet weather collection capacity. To accommodate additional wastewater flows from planned development , the 2018 Master Plan recommended conveyance of peak flows to the EWPCF through a parallel land outfall.
The Project proposes to generate 21,097 gallons per day of additional average wastewater flow that was not accounted for in the Land Outfall's capacity studied in the 2018 Master Plan.
The analysis finds that outfall capacity is currently available to serve the Project 's proposed wastewater generation. Wastewater Capital Facility Fees paid by this Project will be used toward design and construction of a parallel land outfall to be sized to accommod ate ultimate build-out wastewater flows .

Wastewater Treatment Faeility Analysis
VWD utilizes two wastewater treatment facilities to treat wastewater collected within its sewer service area .
The Meadowlark Reclamation Facility (MRF) has liquids treatment capacity of up to 5.0 MGD with a peak wet weather capacity of 8.0 MGD. MRF does not have solids treatment capacity , and therefore all solids are treated at the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF).
The EWPCF is located in the City of Carlsbad . This is a regional facility with treatment capacity ofup to 40.51 MGD . VWD's current ownership capacity is noted below.
Solids Treatm ent Capacity
VWD currently owns 10.47 MGD of solids treatment capacity at EWPCF . VWD 's 2014 average daily wastewater flow was 7.5 MGD. Therefore , the analysis finds that adequate solids treatment capacity exists at this time to serve the Project.
The ultimate average wastewater flow identified in the 2018 Master Plan is 14.4 MGD, resulting in a projected solids treatment capacity deficiency of3 .93 MGD. Wastewater Capital Facility Fees paid by this Project will be used towards the deficiency to accommodate the solid treatment capacity wastewater flow .
Liquids Treatment Capacity
VWD currently owns 7.67 MGD of liquids treatment capacity at the EWPCF in addition to the liquid's treatment capacity of 5.0 MGD at MRF for a total of 12.67 MGD of liquids treatment capacity. VWD 's 2014 average daily wastewater flow was 7.5 MGD . Therefore , the analysis finds that adequate liquids treatment capacity exists at this time to serve the Project.
The ultimate average wastewater flow identified in the 2018 Master Plan is 14.4 MGD, resulting in a projected liquids treatment capacity deficiency of 1.73 MGD . Wastewater Capital Facility Fees paid by this Project will be used towards the deficiency to accommodate the ultimate average wastewater flow.
Ocean Disposal Capacity
VWD currently owns 10.47 MGD of ocean disposal capacity at the EWPCF. VWD's 2014 average daily wastewater flow was 7.5 MGD. Therefore, the analysis finds that adequate ocean disposal capacity exists at this time to serve the Project.
The ultimate average wastewater flow identified in the 2018 Master Plan is 14.4 MGD , resulting in an ocean disposal deficiency of 3.93 MGD. Wastewater Capital Facility Fees paid by this Project will be used towards the deficiency to accommodate the ocean disposal wastewater flow.
The District has determined that adequate wastewater treatment and disposal capacity exists for the proposed Project at this time subject to the qualifications referenced in the Conclusions and Conditions.

CONCLUSIO N AND CONDITIONS
The proposed California Pacific Homes & AOA Mixed-Use Project is expected to increase average daily water demands by 28,967 gallons per day and wastewater flows by 21 ,097 gallons per day over the ultimate flows projected in the 2018 Master Plan.
The study concludes that the proposed development will result in the following impacts:
An increase of 28,967 gallons per day in water demand for proposed project. An increase of 144,895 gallons of potable water storage requirement. An increase of 21 ,097 gallons per day in solids handling , liquids handling and ocean disposal capacity requirements at Encina Water Pollution Control Facility . An increase of 21 ,097 gallons per day in the parallel land outfall's capacity requirement.
The following conditions are required for providing service to the proposed Project:
Payment of all applicable Water and Wastewater Capital Facility Fees in affect at the time service is committed in accordance with District rules and regulations. Construction and Board acceptance of all on-site and off-site water and sewer facilities prior to service.
The District currently has water and sewer capacity available to serve the Project as proposed with the conditions herein add1_·essed by the Developer. However , the ability to provide _water and sewer service in the future depends upon ultimate build-out of the Project and could change depending upon the timing of the build-out , as well as build-outs of other development projects , continued reliable water supplies from the San Diego County Water Authority , the District 's h·eatment capacity at the EWPCF and other factors affecting growth in the District which may change over time.
This Study is based on the current adopted land use utilized in VWD's 2018 Master Plan. The study addresses the incremental facility impacts of this Project only and does not include or consider any additional projects within VWD's service area that have deviated from adopted Master Plan land uses. Any land use changes upstream and/or downstream of the Study area may necessitate a revision of any onsite and offsite studies . VWD shall determine if and when revisions to the Study are necessary. Costs for revising this Study shall be borne by the Developer. The results of this study are not the accepted conditions for the development , final conditions shall be part of the construction agreement process or issued separately by the District.
