The Consultant and all subconsul tants shall have a City of Vista Business License prior to award of contract. Business licenses can be obtained at www.vistabl.com. A City of Vista Business License is not required to propose on this request for proposals.

II. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City of Vista (City) is required to cont rol trash discharging to the ocean and surface waters through the municipa l separate storm sewer Syst em (MS4) to meet the requirements imposed by the State Wate r Resources Control Board (SWRCB) (Resolution No. 2015-0019) and the San Diego Region Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB) (Order No. R9-2017-0077). To co mply with these requi rements, the City prepared a Track 2 Implementation Plan (Cit y of Vista, 2018) that documented the baseline trash loads and target reductions from the City’s priority land use (PLU) areas, 08/12/2025
C7
15 of 237

3 identified key strategies to achieve these targets, quantified load reductions achieved by existing strategies, and established an implementation schedule.

Track 2 allows permittees to install, operate, and maintain any combination of full capture systems, multi-benefit projects, other treatment controls, and/ or institutional controls for PLUs. The permittee must demonstrate that such combination achieves full capture system equivalency.

From the implementation pl an, the baseline trash generat ed from the PLUs is 11,130 gallons/year. Trash reduction through non-structural BMPs such as street sweeping and other non-structural BMPs is 4900 gallons/year . The plan anticipates that the remaining portion of the load reduction (6,230 ga llons/year) will be achieved through the installation of structural trash capture devices.

In 2024, the City elected to prepare a California Mandated Trash Cleanup Drainage Master Plan (CMTC DMP) to:

• Compile high resolution geospatial data for the PLU storm drain system within the City’s sphere of influence (SOI). This includes development of a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) inventory of structure and conveyance features within the study area.

• Assess drainage to estimate the flow conveyance capacities of the existing storm drain systems draining to PLU areas. Drainage assessment includes hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analysis performed to establish the level of service of the storm drain system.

• Develop a list of multi-benefit capital improvement projects (CIPs) that can be used to meet the remaining trash load reduction requirements while also providing additional benefits such as flood resiliency and water quality improvements.

This report summarizes the efforts completed to collect and update data required for H&H modelling and opportunities identified to address the City’s concern on trash control. In addition, a GIS tool was developed by Rick Engineering to analyze the volume of trash removed by each BMP.

A list of 31 potential structural opportunities was generated per this report. It is important to note that only preliminary screening and desktop review has been performed. Each opportunity shall be further evaluated for f easibility and detailed design. It can be expected that existing conditions within the storm drain system and ROW may make some of these opportunities infeasible or require substantial changes to successfully implement. In some cases, these change s may impact the location and therefore drainage area and corresponding trash captur e benefit of each opportunity and the program as a whole.

1.0 Introduction
The City of Vista (City) is required to control trash discharging to the ocean and surface waters through the municipal separate storm sewer System (MS4) to meet the requirements imposed by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) (Resolu Ɵon No. 2015-0019) and the San Diego Region Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB) (Order No. R9-2017-0077). To comply with these requirements, the City prepared a Track 2 ImplementaƟon Plan (City of Vista, 2018) that documented the baseline trash loads and target reduc Ɵons from the City’s priority land use (PLU) areas, idenƟﬁed key strategies to achieve these targets, quanƟﬁed load reducƟons achieved by exisƟng strategies, and established an implementaƟon schedule. From the implementaƟon plan, the baseline trash generated from the PLUs is 11,130 gallons/year, trash reducƟon already achieved is 6,360 gallons/year (57%), and the remaining trash load to reduce by December 2, 2030, is 4,770 gallons/year (43%).

The City elected to prepare this California Mandated Trash Cleanup Drainage Master Plan (CMTC DMP) to:
• Compile high resolu Ɵon geospa Ɵal data for the PLU storm drain system within the City’s sphere of inﬂuence (SOI). This includes development of a comprehensive Geographic Informa Ɵon System (GIS) inventory of structure and conveyance features within the study area. • Assess drainage to esƟmate the ﬂow conveyance capaciƟes of the exisƟng storm drain systems draining to PLU areas. Drainage assessment includes hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analysis performed to establish the level of service of the storm drain system.
• Develop a list of mulƟ-beneﬁt capital improvement projects (CIPs) that can be used to meet the remaining trash load reducƟon requirements (4,770 gallons/year; 43%) while also providing addiƟonal beneﬁts such as ﬂood resiliency and water quality improvements.

This report summarizes the e ﬀorts completed to collect and update data required for H&H modelling and opportuniƟes idenƟﬁed to address the City’s concern on trash control.

1.1 Limitations
This California Mandated Trash Cleanup Drainage Master Plan is a planning level study to iden Ɵfy mulƟ-beneﬁt structural strategies that the City can implement to meet the SWRCB and SDRWQCB requirements. This report has been prepared for master planning purposes only, as a guide for engineers, planners, developers, and City sta ﬀ.

The methods used and outlined within this CMTC DM P were selected for these purposes. Final design requirements will di ﬀe r a s a r e s u l t o f s i t e - s p e c iﬁc constraints, condi Ɵons, City standards, and other factors.

Detailed engineering calcula Ɵons and inves ƟgaƟons should be prepared for the implementa Ɵon of any of the projects outlined in this study. In addi Ɵon, coordinaƟon with adjacent municipali Ɵes or state agencies may be required for projects that cross jurisdicƟonal boundaries. 08/12/2025

2.0 High Resolution Geospatial Data
A high-resoluƟon geospaƟal dataset is of key importance for conducƟ ng H&H analyses, including calcula Ɵon of ﬂow rates required to comply with the trash capture requirements. Geospa Ɵal data necessary for these analyses include: an accurate topographic representaƟon of the study area, ground cover/land use informaƟon, and iniƟal storm drain asset inventory.

Prior to conducƟng analyses, steps were taken to improve the quality of Vista’s geospaƟal dataset. Data ediƟng for this study was emphasized in 15 focus ar eas within Vista city limits (See Figure 2-1). Each focus area had large proporƟons consisƟng of PLU areas. Within these zones, a focused eﬀort was made to compile, review, and digiƟze data into one comprehensive dataset with asset connec Ɵvity. Data sources used to accomplish this included as- built plans and improvement drawings. If necessary, assump Ɵons were made to establish connec Ɵvity of data in the non-focus areas and improve spa Ɵal representaƟon of the storm drain system infrastructure, typically based on review of topography and imagery.

The revised dataset was used for H&H analyses supporƟng trash capture modeling eﬀorts. Appendix A provides addiƟonal details of the data ediƟng process and describes assumpƟons that were made. 08/12/2025

2.2 Development of GIS Inventory
The storm drain data necessary for the preparaƟon of this CMTC DMP consists of the horizontal layout of the storm drain system, size and material of conduits, and ﬂowline elevaƟons. This informaƟon will require periodic updates to keep an up-to-date representaƟon of the Citywide GIS storm drain conveyance system.

Desktop analyses involved upda Ɵng the storm drain assets and conveyance informa Ɵon in the City’s ini Ɵal GIS dataset. This was completed through review of as-built and improvement plan drawings, aerial imagery, Google Earth observaƟons, and ﬁeld observaƟons for select locaƟons. The horizontal locaƟon of drainage structures in the inventory was corrected to match aerial imagery. For structures in which depth measurements were not accessible on site and survey or as-built drawing data was not available, engineering judgment was used to assign an invert elevaƟon based on upstream and downstream drainage connec Ɵons. AƩribute data was revised to document these as assumed inverts. A Digital Eleva Ɵon Model (DEM) was u Ɵlized to update rim eleva Ɵons for drainage structures not previously iden Ɵﬁed in the ini Ɵal data. Google Earth and Street View were used to update the locaƟon and type of each inlet and drainage structure. A datum shi Ō of 2.3 feet was applied to the data that was at the NaƟonal GeodeƟc VerƟcal Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to convert to North American VerƟcal Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).

Table 2-3 provides a summary of the changes to the iniƟal storm drain inventory received from the City. The iniƟal inventory was updated for storm drains and the addi Ɵon of missing drainage structures such as inlets, pipe segments, cleanouts, and outlets. When necessary, the following updates were made through referencing as-built data as well as through Google Earth and Google Street observaƟons conducted via desktop analysis:

• Split iniƟal storm drain pipe segments to include drainage structures and laterals, • Added storm drain pipes and culverts not included in the iniƟal inventory, and • Added detenƟon basins, including water quality basins, if iden Ɵﬁed on as-builts or was clearly iden Ɵﬁable in aerial imagery.

3.0 Drainage Assessment
Drainage assessment was accomplished using a 1-Dimensional (1-D) H&H model in PCSWMM so Ōware that combines surface and sub-surface drainage pa Ʃerns within the City’s SOI. An exis Ɵng condi Ɵon model was prepared which presents a high-resolu Ɵon visual rendering of the combined surface and sub-surface drainage paƩerns within the study area. For the purposes of this study, the 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year storm events were used to evaluate the storm drain infrastructure and provide informa Ɵon on potenƟal mulƟ-beneﬁt trash capture projects.

This secƟon presents the following:
• Overview of the exisƟng drainage paƩerns (SecƟon 3.1) • Model Setup Methodology (SecƟon 3.2.1)
• Modeling Results (SecƟon 3.2.2)

3.1 Drainage Patterns
The study area for the drainage assessment is ap proximately 32.5 square miles (20,791.9 acres) and ﬂows in a westerly direcƟon toward the Paciﬁc Ocean. For this study, the study area was subdivided into subwatersheds and modeled with a 1-D dual drainage system connected to 1-D storm drain.

3.1.1 Subcatchment Delineations
Semi-automated delineaƟon tools were used in GIS and PCSWMM to create iniƟal delineaƟons of subcatchments and ﬂow paths for each storm water collec Ɵon point (inlet, basin, cross-gu Ʃer, etc.). AŌer the iniƟal delineaƟon, the subcatchment areas were modi ﬁed through reviewing exis Ɵng topography and aerial imagery, resul Ɵng in 1,932 subcatchments (not including the subcatchments in Loma Alta), shown in Figure 3-1. Due to the high resoluƟon of the topographic data, the GIS delinea Ɵon tools were able to generally iden Ɵfy ﬂow paths along curbed roadways, through backyards, and across driveways, establishing an e ﬀecƟve baseline for subcatchment delineaƟons.

These subcatchments were then combined resulƟng in three (3) overall subwatershed systems with major storm drain ouƞalls contribuƟng to Buena Vista Creek, Agua Hedionda Creek, and the San Luis Rey River. Refer to Table 3-1 for subwatershed name and area informaƟon. The San Luis Rey subwatershed drains northwest to the San Luis Rey River and has four (4) discharge loca Ɵons near the City’s municipal boundaries or sphere of in ﬂuence (SOI).

Buena Vista drains in a southwest direcƟon into Buena Vista Creek and has one (1) discharge locaƟon just past the City’s sphere of inﬂuence border. Agua Hedionda is the most southern subwatershed and has seven (7) discharge locaƟons at the edge of the City’s SOI that will con ﬂuence at Agua Hedionda Creek. The 0.2 square miles of subcatchments within the City’s SOI draining to Loma Alta Creek were iniƟally considered but were ulƟmately not included in analysis because there is a small amount of PLU areas in the subwatershed.

The delineaƟons were used in conjuncƟon with land use and NRCS soil data to provide the hydrologic parameters necessary for H&H modeling as explained in Appendix B. The proposed land use is based on available data from SANGIS. The General Plan Land Use Map and the Hydrologic Soils Group Map exhibits in Appendix C show the diﬀerent land use and soil types for the exisƟng condiƟon.

3.1.2 Surface Conveyance
An important component of analyzing the stormwater conveyance system is consideraƟon of the variety of surface conveyance types (e.g., natural drainage ways, ditches, channels, and roadway conveyance systems) that connect to the underground drainage infrastructure throughout the City.

3.2 Existing Condition

3.2.1 Existing Condition Model Methodology
The corrected GIS storm drain inventory discussed in Sec Ɵon 2.0 was imported into PCSWMM and formed the basis of the 1-D conveyance porƟon of the study area model. Storm drain networks were viewed horizontally with reference to aerial imagery and ver Ɵcally by viewing the storm drain pro ﬁles generated within the program to verify the suitability of the data for modeling purposes.

The DEM, located in Appendix C, was used to develop a 1-D dual drainage to represent stormwater ﬂows in streets, alleys, open channels, and open space areas. This DEM was also used to obtain rim eleva Ɵons at points of 08/12/2025

connecƟon to the storm drain conveyance system. The capaciƟes of the storm drain system were evaluated based on the 2014 San Diego Hydraulic Manual cr iteria Refer to Appendix B for speci ﬁc criteria use to ﬂag de ﬁcient systems.

The H&H model has the capability to quan Ɵfy the shallow surface a ƩenuaƟon (detenƟon) occurring in the right- of-way (ROW) and open spaces and assess its eﬀect on the peak ﬂows entering the storm drain system (peak ﬂow rates entering the system may be a Ʃenuated, which may reduce the size of required improvements). While the aƩenuaƟon occurring in the present Ɵme is important in understanding the current condi Ɵon and its impacts to the drainage infrastructure, this area cannot be guaranteed to remain available during future development. As a result, future studies should assess the impacts of the re moval of this storage volume from the system. Refer to Appendix B for a more detailed descripƟon of PCSWMM hydraulic methodology and modeling.

3.2.2 Existing Condition Results
Results of H&H modeling were obtained for the 1-year, 1-hour storm event for trash capture strategy development, as well as 24-hour storm event at the 2-, 10-, and 100-year return period.

4.0 Trash Strategies
In 2018, the City developed a Track 2 ImplementaƟon Plan (City of Vista, 2018). The plan outlined a combinaƟon of structural and non-structural controls anƟcipated to be implemented to comply with the 2015 Statewide Trash Amendments, as used by San Diego Region Water Quality Control Board Order No. R9-2017-0077. CollecƟvely, these regulaƟons are referred to as the Trash Order. The Trash Order requires full capture equivalency from PLUs by December 2nd, 2030. One of the primary objec Ɵves of this CMTC DMP was to assist with strategic implementaƟon of structural control installaƟon, feasibility, and prioriƟzaƟon to achieve full capture compliance.

4.1 2018 Track 2 Implementation Plan
The City’s Track 2 ImplementaƟon Plan (City of Vista, 2018) documented baseline loads and target load reducƟons from the City’s PLU areas, idenƟﬁed key strategies to achieve these targets, quan Ɵﬁed load reducƟons achieved by exisƟng strategies, and presented an implementa Ɵon schedule. The plan iden Ɵﬁes that an addi Ɵonal 4,770 gallons of trash per year, must be removed annually by December 2 nd, 2030, to achieve full capture compliance (an addi Ɵonal 43% reduc Ɵon in baseline trash load). The plan an Ɵcipates that a substan Ɵal porƟon of load reducƟon will be achieved through the installa Ɵon of structural trash capture devices. Key components of this ImplementaƟon Plan are summarized in Table 4-1.

4.2 Scope and Approach of Trash Order Drainage Planning The approach taken to iden Ɵfy loca Ɵons for poten Ɵal structural trash capture devices involved three primary elements, each of which are discussed in secƟons noted:

1. Deﬁne structural trash capture opƟons, including regional, subregional, and inlet-scale controls, including the condiƟons under which each of these op Ɵons would be priori Ɵzed. Sec Ɵon 4.3.1 includes de ﬁniƟons and screening criteria for these categories of controls.

2. IdenƟfy poten Ɵal opportuni Ɵes for subregional and regional structural controls and priori Ɵze these opportuniƟes to idenƟfy candidate project locaƟons and project types. SecƟon 4.3.2 documents the technical methodology and results of this process.

3. QuanƟfy trash capture performance of the iden Ɵﬁed list of candidate projects. Sec Ɵon 4.4 summarizes the performance of candidate projects.

The results of this eﬀort will support the development of trash-focused capital projects list, including regional and subregional controls. The results will idenƟfy focus areas where one of these capital structural project types is not idenƟﬁed. In these areas, the City may prioriƟze distributed inlet controls and source control eﬀorts.

4.3 Trash Capture Opportunity Identiﬁcation
The trash capture opportunity idenƟﬁcaƟon process that follows was built upon a geospaƟal analysis of the City’s storm drain system and priority land uses (Sec Ɵon 2 and 3), the PCSWMM model of the exis Ɵng drainage condiƟons (SecƟon 3) and developing a menu of candidate trash capture strategies and screening criteria.

4.3.1 Structural Options and Screening Criteria
Three categories of structural trash capture devices were idenƟﬁed to characterize potenƟal project types, deﬁned below. All full capture systems must be approved by the SWRCB. For more informa Ɵon on full capture systems approved by the SWRCB, a list of cer Ɵﬁed devices is maintained at the SWRCB Trash Implementa Ɵon Program website.

Regional Controls are large mulƟ-beneﬁt devices within large drainage areas, having the potenƟal to capture and remove trash from storm drain system main line pipes. Regional controls can be below ground (e.g., large ba ﬄe boxes or hydrodynamic separators (HDS)) or at the surface (e.g., deten Ɵon basins, wetland basins, or reten Ɵon basins). Regional controls can be installed either in-line or oﬀ-line (where stormwater is diverted out of the channel or storm drain to the control
Sub-Regional Controls remove trash from smaller storm drain laterals before they Ɵe into larger storm drain mainlines and are typically manufactured devices such as hydrodynamic separators that can be installed within the right of way (ROW). This category of control is intended to be replicable at mul Ɵple locaƟons using “oﬀ-the- shelf” vendor products with limited engineering and customiza Ɵon requirements. Such devices typically treat a design ﬂowrate less than 40 cubic feet per second (cfs), with a circular pipe 60-inches or less in diameter. This translates to a drainage area not exceeding 120-acres (assuming typical runo ﬀ coe ﬃcients within the City).

However, the device type can limit the allowable drainage area treated. Table 4-2 provides examples of larger sizes oﬀered for these devices and their ﬂow capaci Ɵes. A trash removal system with mul Ɵple devices could be considered, but such system would be considered a Regional Control due to increased complexity of project design, cost, and treatment area. In comparison to regional controls, these systems tend to be smaller and require less customizaƟon of the design for the given opportunity.

Distributed Inlet Controls consist of full capture systems such as connector pipe screens, baskets, and inserts that can be installed within storm drain inlets within the ROW. These controls are compara Ɵvely low cost but require more frequent maintenance and can reduce inlet capacity. These controls were not speci ﬁcally evaluated for implementaƟon under this plan; however, areas were Regional and Sub-Regional Controls have not been idenƟﬁed and where exis Ɵng controls are absent, may be areas to prioriƟze the implementa Ɵon of addi Ɵonal distributed inlet controls using available funding and implementaƟon programs.

Regional and Sub-Regional Controls were the focus of this work and are the controls most dependent upon speciﬁc design constraints and opportuni Ɵes in order to be integrated e ﬀecƟvely into the exis Ɵng storm drain system.

Table 4-3 summarizes some of the key constraints and opportuni Ɵes associated with Regional and Sub-Regional Controls.

4.3.2 Opportunity Identiﬁcation and Screening
This mul Ɵ-step process involved a broad GIS-based desktop analysis for poten Ɵal opportuni Ɵes followed by screening and prioriƟzaƟon of candidate project locaƟons. Each key step in this process is described below.

Step 1: Compile GIS Data Sources
To support both opportunity iden ƟﬁcaƟon and screening, various available datasets were compiled. These included GIS layers and model results, as described below.

Land Use (polygon layer). This dataset includes land use categories and proposed land use categories, including classiﬁcaƟon as priority land use or alternaƟve land use (based on proposed land use). This is the same layer used 08/12/2025
C7

16 March 2024
in the 2018 Track 2 Implementa Ɵon Plan. The following land uses were classi ﬁed as PLUs, where PLUs included mulƟple higher-resoluƟon land use categories:
• Commercial
o Commercial Oﬃce
o Commercial Service
o General Commercial
o Neighborhood Commercial
• Industrial
o Industrial General
o Research Light Industrial
• Mixed Urban
• High-Density ResidenƟal
o High-Density ResidenƟal
o Medium High-Density ResidenƟal
• TransportaƟon

The remaining land uses were classi ﬁed as alternaƟve land uses (ALUs) apart from Open Space and Open Space ResidenƟal. ALUs are mapped as “developed area” in the included exhibits and aƩachments included in this plan.

Right of Way (polygon). This dataset is provided by SanGIS.org and consists of polygons showing dedicated rights- of-way (ROW) within the County of San Diego. The dataset is a subset of the Parcel dataset maintained by SanGIS and is updated quarterly (data downloaded 2.22.2022 was used for this analysis). The ROW layer and the land use layer are conƟnuous and complementary (do not overlap).

Drainage System Network (line and point layers). This dataset was developed as part of the PCSWMM model of exisƟng condiƟons. It includes conduit types, dimensions, and nodal linkage informaƟon.

Drainage Areas (polygon). This dataset was developed by R I C K a s p a r t o f t h e P C S W M M m o d e l o f e x i sƟng condiƟons. It deﬁnes the drainage area to each modeled inlet in the PCSWMM model. In some cases, each inlet is delineated and modeled. In other cases, the model is of coarser resolu Ɵon and does not have a watershed delineat
ed to the inlet. The drainage area layer also includes downstream node rouƟng. This can be used to idenƟfy the overall rouƟng of ﬂow within the watershed, at a higher level than link node rouƟng.

ExisƟng Full Trash Capture Devices. This dataset was compiled from various sources and provides an inventory of exisƟng full trash capture systems, primarily inlet-scale devices. This includes the point loca Ɵon of these features and the corresponding drainage area. Data sources for this layer included:
• Trash_Catch_Area (polygon) – Includes site boundary (a ssumed to be drainage area), PLU, and Catch_ID ﬁelds, sourced from the ‘PLUs_Inlets_TT.mxd’ provided by the City, • BMP_Points (point) -- Includes point features with best management prac Ɵce (BMP) aƩributes from the geodatabase Ɵtled ‘RWQCB_Data’ provided by the City.

ExisƟng Development Site BMPs (polygon). Other BMPs have been installed over Ɵm e a s p a r t o f p r i o r i t y development projects (PDP). This da ta is maintained in a geodatabase Ɵtled ‘RWQCB_Data’ (same as 08/12/2025

‘BMP_Points’) and includes a ‘BMP_Site’ layer which was provided by the City. This in cludes BMPs that provide some trash capture performance, such as hydrodynamic separators, but may not be sized to the full trash capture ﬂowrate. PDP sizing criteria are normally lower than trash capture sizing criteria. Addi Ɵonally, typical BMPs required on PDP sites are not required to be full capture cer Ɵﬁed. The ‘BMP_Site’ polygons were assumed to be the contribuƟng/captured drainage area. This layer was amended to include the Paseo Santa Fe Phase II and Phase III site areas (‘PSF_PhaseII_area’ and ‘PSF_PhaseIII_Area’) provided by the City.

Regional DetenƟon Basins. The loca Ɵons of major deten Ɵon basins that were included in the PCSWMM model were compiled. These are opportuni Ɵes for the addi Ɵon of trash capture devices which could include screens at the basin inlet, overﬂow, or bypass outlet. Three major basins were idenƟﬁed: 1) Santa Fe, 2) Brengle Terrace, and 3) Monte Vista.

Step 2: Adapt PCSWMM Models for Trash Planning
The exisƟng condiƟons PCSWMM model was uƟlized as the primary tool for idenƟfying candidate project locaƟons.

The model was adapted to enable esƟmaƟon of provisional trash ﬂowrates.

The Trash Amendments de ﬁne a Full Capture System as “a treatment control, or series of treatment controls, including but not limited to, a mul Ɵ-beneﬁt project or a low-impact development control that traps all par Ɵcles 5mm or greater, and has a design treatment capacity…. not less than the peak ﬂow rate, Q, resulƟng from a one- year, one-hour storm in the subdrainage area…”]
A version of the PCSWMM model was developed to represent the trash design storm. To provide reasonable conservaƟsm in this calculaƟon, a 6-hour pre-weƫng period with 0.1 inches per hour of rainfall followed by one hour with the 1-year, 1-hour storm intensity (0.41 inches) was included. The results of this model represent the provisional trash capture ﬂowrate for each conduit in the model. This analysis was primarily used to help assess potenƟal structural control opƟons; it is not intended for project design.

Step 3: Develop Screening Database
Using the datasets described above, a screening database was developed to help idenƟfy potenƟal locaƟons within the network. This database started from the conduits in the drainage system network. Key aƩributes included:
• Conduit
geometry (e.g., circular, rectangular, irregular)
• Conduit dimension (most applicable to circular and rectangular shapes) • ExisƟng trash ﬂowrate from PCSWMM model results
Step 4: Perform Screening
This analysis began by conduc Ɵng a broad query of poten Ɵal structural project loca Ɵons. The following ini Ɵal screening criteria was used to idenƟfy pipe segments that may be most strategically valuable for regional and sub- regional controls:
• Conduit geometry equal to “circular” – this supports the broadest range of o ﬀ-the-shelf vendor technologies.
• Trash ﬂowrate greater than or equal to 20 cfs – below this, it may not be worthwhile to pursue a sub- regional project and inlet-scale projects may be preferred. 08/12/2025

The screening criteria did not apply to the three potenƟal basin projects. This produced a result of more than 366 pipe segments and three basins. The drainage boundaries layer was then used to trace the upstream area to each of these pipe segments and basins.

Based on inspecƟon of these results, it was found that the list of potenƟal opportuniƟes included many conƟguous conduit segments that represented minor variaƟons of the same opportunity and were not disƟnctly diﬀerent. It was also determined that some opportuniƟes were nested within other opportuniƟes, so their drainage areas overlapped. ExisƟng overlap areas were determined by incorporaƟng the drainage areas to large regional ﬂood control basins. Finally, potenƟal opportuniƟes intersecƟng the ROW layer were idenƟﬁed, in some cases tracing up or downstream to adjust potenƟal opportuniƟes so that they coincided with the public ROW.

Based on these observaƟons, the screening results were curated to idenƟfy potenƟal opportuniƟes that addressed disƟnctly di ﬀerent areas and had drainage areas that did not overlap with other poten Ɵal opportuni Ɵes. This narrowed the list down to 31 candidate projects. In a few cases, due to adjustments during the screening process, pipe segments and drainage areas were adjusted and resulted in screened parameters slightly less than the screened criteria (i.e., trash ﬂow less than 20).

Exhibit 1 in Appendix D includes a package of map exhibits showing the 31 candidate projects iden Ɵﬁed through this screening step.

4.4 Performance of Candidate Structural Projects
The purpose of this secƟon is to quanƟfy the trash load reducƟon performance of the candidate projects idenƟﬁed above. These calculaƟons were performed in GIS using standard trash genera Ɵon rates. The methodology also accounted for the combined e ﬀects of di ﬀerent types of controls to avoid poten Ɵal double-coun Ɵng where diﬀerent controls address the same overlapping area.

4.4.1 Trash Generation Rates
Table 4-4 summarizes the baseline trash genera Ɵon rates (gallons/acre/year) for each PLU. These are the same generaƟon rates used in the 2018 Track 2 Implementa Ɵon Plan. For ALUs, calcula Ɵons were performed using a range from 0.5 gallons/acre/year to 1 gallon/acre/year. While the City has not established a genera Ɵon rate for ALUs, this tabula Ɵon allows for a simple sensi Ɵvity analysis. ALU genera Ɵon rates of 1.0 gallons/acre/year have been used within San Diego County by other Co-permiƩees.

4.4.2 Methodology for Combining Control Types
Several key assumpƟons and decisions were incorporated into the analysis to understand the intersecƟon between potenƟal structural projects, exisƟng structural projects (both full and parƟal capture), and exisƟng non-structural controls. This was an important step to accurately account for the addi Ɵonal load reduc Ɵon provided by the candidate controls beyond the load reduc Ɵon that is currently provided. Mul Ɵple scenarios exist where the potenƟal for overlapping capture was idenƟﬁed and resolved. • Overlapping Full Capture Drainage Areas: The strategies idenƟﬁed in this study are regional or subregional structural controls. By nature, these controls have larger drainage areas and have the potenƟal to include areas with exis Ɵng full capture systems. In this case credit was taken for the area that was not already fully captured. AddiƟonally, several the opportuniƟes idenƟﬁed include nested opportuniƟes, example BV- 2 and Santa Fe DetenƟon Basin. In the case of nested opportuni Ɵes, both opportuniƟes were included in the list of results, but the trash reducƟon credit was limited to the area captured by the larger project(not the nested projects).
• Non-Structural Load ReducƟons within Structural Project Drainage Areas: Non-structural controls (Street Sweeping and Other Non-Structural Controls) are already assumed to provide reducƟons of 32% and 12% respecƟvely (44% of baseline) across all PLU areas. To avoid crediƟng load reducƟon that is already claimed for non-structural controls, the total load captured by candidate structural opportuniƟes idenƟﬁed in this study was reduced by 44%. This is eﬀecƟvely the same as reducing the trash generaƟon rates in Table 4-4 by 44%.
• Overlapping Full and Par Ɵal Capture Systems: In the Implementa Ɵon Plan, the total load reduc Ɵon achie
ved by parƟal capture systems was 1,180 gallons/year. Based on the City’s GIS inventory, there are a total of 730 acres of sites treated by par Ɵal capture BMPs. Of these 730 acres, approximately 170 acres drain to the potenƟal structural controls idenƟﬁed in this DMP . Loads were not explicitly allocated to each drainage area because sizing and capture e ﬃciency informa Ɵon is not available. Therefore, a simple 08/12/2025
C7

20 March 2024
proraƟng approach was used to avoid double counƟng this bene ﬁt. The total load reduc Ɵon idenƟﬁed here is adjusted by a factor of 170/730 Ɵmes the 1,180 gallons/year. This equates to 275 gallons/year removed by exisƟng parƟal capture systems that is not available to be removed by new structural controls.

4.4.3 Results
The resul Ɵng performance of the candidate structural projects is summarized in Error! Reference source not found. on a per-project basis. The table is listed in descending order of the amount (percentage) of PLU treated by candidate project. This does not imply a preferred order of implementaƟon and there are many addiƟonal factors that inﬂuence prioriƟzaƟon, as discussed in SecƟon 4.5.

Each opportunity, its contribuƟng drainage area, and key characterisƟcs are idenƟﬁed in Appendix D. OpportuniƟes and drainage areas are preliminary, based on available desktop informa Ɵon at the Ɵme of this report. Drainage areas and opportunity aƩributes should be veriﬁed as part of subsequent project planning and design. AddiƟonal opportuniƟes may exist.

Table 4-6 indicates that the combined eﬀect of regional and sub-regional candidate BMPs can equal or exceed the remaining target load reduc Ɵon when accoun Ɵng for ALU loading captured by these BMPs. There are also substanƟal PLU areas that would not be treated as part of these regional and sub-regional candidate projects.

These areas would be candidate for inlet-scale or site-scale controls.

4.5 Intended Uses
The results and opportuni Ɵes summarized in this chapter are intended to be used at the planning level to (1) idenƟfy potenƟal priority loca Ɵons for addi Ɵonal structural controls, and (2) priori Ɵze the construcƟon of inlet scale or site-scale devices where regional or sub-regional structural control opportuniƟes are not idenƟﬁed.

4.5.1 Advancing Sub-Regional and Regional Structural Controls The analysis presented in the previous sec Ɵons demonstrates how these opportuni Ɵes have been idenƟﬁed and screened to prioriƟze loca Ɵons with the poten Ɵal for signi ﬁcant capture and overall e ﬃciency in a Ʃaining the target reducƟons. The resulƟng opportuniƟes can provide substanƟal progress towards aƩaining target reducƟons. 08/12/2025

It is important to note that only preliminary screening and desktop review has been performed. Each opportunity should be further evaluated for feasibility and detailed design. It can be expected that exis Ɵng condiƟons within the storm drain system and ROW may make some of these opportuniƟes infeasible or require substanƟal changes to successfully implement. In some cases, these changes may impact the locaƟon and therefore drainage area and corresponding trash capture beneﬁt of each opportunity and the program as a whole. At a minimum the following steps are expected to be a part of the feasibility and design process:
• Evaluate physical constraints at each opportunity that could impact the feasibility of installa Ɵon, operaƟons, and maintenance of potenƟal capture systems, • Evaluate the exisƟng and potenƟal impacts of potenƟal capture system on storm drain hydraulics and level of service,
• Where opportuniƟes are determined to be feasible, reﬁne system design and sizing based on site-speciﬁc condiƟons,
• Update BMP inventory and planning documents with ﬁnal design parameters (system type, ﬂow rate, drainage area, PLU treated, etc.).

While the opportuniƟes idenƟﬁed in this plan may provide signiﬁcant capture potenƟal, there are likely addiƟonal opportuniƟes that can provide similar bene ﬁt that have not been iden Ɵﬁed (i.e., diversions from backbone channels or box culverts). Where other CIP projects ar e planned and implemented (i.e., storm drain capacity improvements or replacements) it is recommended that the Trash Planning Map included as Exhibit 2 in Appendix D be reviewed to quickly idenƟfy potenƟal overlapping and nearby projects, or to idenƟfy areas of signiﬁcant PLU where no structural controls have been idenƟﬁed.

AddiƟonal feasibility analysis was performed for four opportuniƟes and documented in Appendix E.

4.5.2 Prioritizing Areas for Inlet and Site-scale Controls For planning purposes, PLU areas not being ‘treated’ by candidate projects in Appendix D may be considered most suitable for inlet and site-scale trash capture controls. Notable areas include the vicinity of downtown (Vista Village Drive and E. Vista Way, commercial areas near Sycamore Avenue, and por Ɵons of the Vista business park. For areas within the ROW and adjacent to PLUs, inlets and storm drain infrastructure may be improved with state- cerƟﬁed trash capture inserts or screen devices. For areas on private sites, the City may consider other mechanisms to capture trash from these areas (such as development requirements or incenƟve programs). In ﬁeld visual trash screening assessments may be conducted to further priori Ɵze areas for targeted installaƟon of inlet or site-scale controls.

1 This appendix presents the workflow and assumptions made to update the City’s initial GIS storm drain asset inventory. This workflow can be repeated in the future to make additional updates and/or integration of the CMTC DMP data into City’s system(s).

I. Creating a Working Inventory Dataset
• A schema was developed for the CMTC DMP. The GI S team reviewed the fields to assess which CMTC DMP and initial data fields to adopt into the final schema that will be part of the City’s system.
• Each asset of the initial storm drain asset inventory was assigned a Facility ID. These assets are summarized under the ‘All Inventory’ column in Table 2-3. o This Facility ID can be used to track the asset back to it’s the initial dataset. o The separate junctions files from the City’s inventory were compiled into one (1) junction file and the separate conduit files were compiled into one (1) conduit file. o Coordination was done to determine which fields from the CMTC DMP schema were necessary to bring over to the final dataset.
 Field mapping was performed to associate the initial data into the CMTC DMP data editing schema. The CMTC DMP data supersedes the initial data because it consolidates duplicate fields. The CMTC DMP schema does not include fields that were unnecessary for data editing so it is important to note that these field be considered when incorporating the data into the City systems. • Any data that was added during the CMTC DMP pr ocess has a CMTC DMP Facility ID but will not have a City ID. There are also duplicate named conduits because the initial inventory was split to add junctions and connect systems together. A City Facility ID needs to be added to all new conduits and junctions per City protocol.
• Conduit and junction features were assigned general types to group similar facilities together.

Their assignments came from their initial type if available, Google Earth observations, plans, or assumptions based on their upstream and downst ream conduits. The datum used for the CMTC DMP is NAVD88. All initial elevations (in NGVD29) in the junctions and conduits inventory were increased by 2.3’ to convert the elevations to NAVD88.

2 II. Procedure to Add Additional Data
The following procedures were followed to add additional data to the storm drain asset inventory:

Rules and Assumptions:
• In general, conduits and junctions were snapped together to maintain a fully connected system. • These steps assume that the data is being added from plans, survey, or another verified data source.
• When junctions were visible from the ground, they were placed at the appropriate location according to available imagery and topography.
o If imagery does not have the locations of the data, pdf’s or tiff’s of plans were georeferenced as a horizontal data source.

Steps:

1. Junctions were added first at the proper location according to imagery or topography. All junctions must have:
a. Type:

Junctions Definitions
Type Definition
Basin A point representation of a polygon basin.

Channel confluence Junction between channel or flowline conduits. Typically, at intersections of conduits or when channel/flowline properties change.

Combo Inlet Typically, a Type C inlet per regional standard drawings—has a curb opening and grate.

Connector Connects underground conduits. Typically added when pipes are connecting and there is no surface manhole.

Curb Inlet Typically, a Type B inlet per regional standard drawings—has an opening in the street curb.

Grate Inlet Typically, a Type I or G inlet per regional standard drawings—has a grate opening on the street.

Headwall A surface opening connected to a culvert or at the upstream end of a channel, flowline, or ditch.

Inlet A surface opening connected to a storm drain that is not verified for its type.

Manhole Like a connector but has a manhole lid at the surface.

Other Junctions that do not fit into other categories. Examples include risers and tin whistles.

Outlet A surface discharge point connected to a subsurface conduit. b. Invert Elevation/Rim Elevation:
 The rim elevation was assu med from the 2018 LiDAR surface. Junctions that are exposed—headwall, outlet, basin—have the same invert elevation as rim elevation.
 If the invert elevation was not known from the data source, the invert elevation was set based on the slope of the connecting pipe. If the slope was not available, engineering assumptions were used to calculate the minimum depth of cover that 08/12/2025

3 may be used over the pipe ( i.e. invert elevation = rim elevation – 2’ cover – height of pipe)
c. Additional fields were populated, if appropriate:
 Data source: as-built, plan, site visit, drawing number  Date Source Year: Year of plan approval
 Applicable assumptions made if not all information is known: Type, elevation, placement. Elevation assumptions should make it clear if the elevation came from upstream, downstream, or is based on a rim and cover calculation.  Any additional comments to provide more context of the edit.

2. Conduits were drawn and snapped to the appropriate junctions on their upstream and downstream end.

3. Storm drain pipes (36” or larger) are defined as ‘backbones’ and generally any pipe intersecting the backbone are ‘laterals’. It is possible for two (2) systems to be considered backbone systems to intersect, and they will then become part of a larger backbone system. a. In general, backbone systems are trunklines that convey flows from the headwaters to the outlet. Laterals convey smaller areas that flow into backbone systems.

4. In the case where a conduit is joining another, longer conduit, the longer conduit was split and a junction was added and snapped at the split location for the system to stay connected.

4 5. All conduits include:
a. Type:

Conduit Definitions
Type Definition
Channel Surface drainage conduit. Engineered or natural. Typically connecting backbone systems together.

Culvert Subsurface drainage conduit exposed to the surface on both ends. Considered subsurface because the pipe itself is underground.

Ditch Surface drainage conduit. Typically engineered. Typically connecting lateral systems together.

Flowline Surface drainage conduit that acts as a connector path that does not fit the definition of a channel or ditch. Examples include connecting outlets to basin nodes and outlets to inlets via street gutters.

Storm Drain Subsurface drainage conduit.

b. Cross-section geometry: Circular, ellipse, rectangular, etc. c. Material: RCP, Concrete, CMP, HDPE, etc.
 The associated manning’s roughness n should be applied for modeling purposes.

Conduit Roughness
Conduit Material Manning's Roughness (n)
ACP (Asbestos Cement Pipe) 0.013
Asphalt 0.015
CMP (Corrugated Metal Pipe) 0.024
Concrete 0.018
CIPP (Cured-in-place-pipe) 0.015
Earthen 0.06
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene Pipe) 0.013
RCP (Reinforced Concrete Pipe) 0.013
Steel 0.011

d. Upstream and Downstream elevations or slope
e. Cross-section size/Dimensions: The dimension of the conduit includes the height, width, and side slopes.
 Example:
• If the cross section is circular, the conduit was given a height but no width. • If the cross section is rectangular, the conduit was given a height and width.
08/12/2025

5 • If the cross section is trapezoidal, the conduit was given a height, width, side slopes (ration is horizontal:vertical).
f. Applicable additional fields were populated, if appropriate:
 Data source: as-built, plan, site visit drawing
 Date Source Year: Year of plan
 Assumptions, if not all information is known: Type, elevation, material, size, placement. Elevation assumptions were made clear if the elevation was sourced from upstream, downstream, or is based on a rim and cover calculation. g. Any additional comments to provide more context of the edit.

6. All conduits include a junction on both ends.
a. Conversely, all junctions were connected to a conduit. If a junction was not connected to a conduit (orphan), the flows to the junction would not be conveyed to the system. • A snapping step followed this process to make sure that conduits and junctions were connected and there were no orphan facilities.

III. Additional Assumptions Made During the Study’s Data Editing A. The first step in data correction was making any applicable global edits to the dataset —Horizontal and Vertical Corrections
• Junction and conduits were connected by snapping them together with GIS tools. Any conduit that did not have a junction was assigned a junction at its end. • Assumption: Junctions and conduits not connected to anything were assumed to connect to another facility within a 2’ tolerance. Th is assumes that when the facilities were created, they were meant to be connect to each other. Junctions were added globally because a conduit always needs a junction at its upstream and downstream end. The table below defines what junction type was assigned based on the conduit upstream and downstream of the junction. If there is no conduit defined, that means one does not exist on that end of a junction. Assumed inlets were checked to make sure they existed in priority zones.

7 • Once the system was snapped together, junction and conduit invert elevations were shared to the adjacent facility to populate missing data (i.e ., a junction missing an elevation was assigned the invert elevation of the conduit directly downstream) o Assumption: This assumes that the junctions and conduits have the same elevations as the conduits and junctions they are connected to, respectively. If the downstream conduit did not have invert elevations the junction was assigned the invert elevation of the upstream conduit.
• Conduits missing cross sections and types were assigned cross sections based on their geometry and types were assigned based on the geometry and cross section. o Assumption: This assumes that and unknown type conduit with a GEOM1 of 18” is an 18” circular storm drain.

8 B. The next step was performing detailed editing. Different approaches were taken in Priority and Non-Priority Zones.
• Priority Zones
o The main backbone and laterals were checked to identify missing data and plans were requested.
 35 areas were requested, and 98 plans were provided and reviewed.  Assumption: Areas were assigned for as-built requests through tagging conduits as priority as-builts, secondary as-builts, or site visits. The backbone is considered to be a system that is at least 36” in diameter and is the main conveyance of the system. Laterals are small systems or single conduits that connect to the backbone.
o Data was added if it was in a plan or if it needed to be added even after the global add tool.
 Assumption: If the plans were available, junctions and conduits were added based on the plans. If there were no available plans, data was added based on visual inspections in Google and through logical cases if there was a missing conduit, but it was obviously needed to connect the system (like a flowline).

Initial Data Data After Editing

o If a junction type was missing it would be visually inspected in Google StreetView.

Similarly, data was moved to either connect the system or because it was wrong based on visual inspections in Google.
 Assumption: This assumes that the Google StreetView imag e is still accurate to initial conditions.
o Inventory labeled as private was connected into the system if it was part of the backbone system and most of the information existed.
08/12/2025

85 of 237

9  Assumption: This assumes that small private inventory was not part of the backbone and would not be corrected during this effort. o Data was removed based on City comments (some facilities were labeled as abandoned), plans, or visual inspections in Google StreetView to confirm that a junction did not exist.  Assumption: This assumes that the Google StreetView imag e is still accurate to initial conditions. Visual inspections were used when there were multiple junctions and neither were labeled as removed or were different types (connector and inlet). o If after requesting plans, there was still missing information in the pipes (i.e. lateral pipes that are connected are missing elevations), they were kept as part of the system but had elevations added that connected to the plan-checked storm drain  Assumption: In these cases, the junction, usually an inlet, could be seen in Google. • Non-priority Zones
o The goal for these zones was to connect the backbone system without requesting plans. o If a junction type was missing a global edit on the type of conduit.  Assumption: The same junction-conduit relationship table used during the global edits was used to define what junction type was assigned based on the conduit upstream and downstream of the junction with an unknown type. o Data was added, moved, and removed in a sim ilar fashion as the process in the priority zones but on a much smaller scale.
 Assumption: The non-priority zones were not the focus of the data editing task and data was only added if it was necessary to connect vital systems to the main backbone of the overall inventory. Data was also added if it was necessary to connect a system that would not have functioned without the added data. If a system was not connected but the contributing area was over 20 acres, junctions and flow paths or channels or ditches were added based on visual inspection to tie the systems together.
o Generally, for non-priority zones, laterals were connected to the nearest manhole or connector on the backbone.
 Assumption: This task was part of the cleanup from the global edit that connected conduits and junctions. If the data appeared to exist (through visual inspection on Google Maps, existence of elevation data or city comments, etc.), the data was connected.

C. Tag Data to Be Included in Modeling
• If a private storm drain system had missing information and the size was 42 inches or larger it was modeled as it is most likely part of a backbone system. o Conversely, if a private storm drain system has missing information and the size is 36 inches or smaller, it was not modeled.
• If the storm drain was private and less than 36", it will was not modeled. o Additionally, for non-priority zones, if a system was missing vital information (size, connection to adjacent pipes or backbone) and was not necessary to keep delineation sizes under 40 acres, the system was not modeled.
08/12/2025
C7
86 of 237

10 • Pipe sizes were assessed and if they were not large enough to be considered part of the backbone, they were not included.
o Assumption: If a storm drain is 2” it is not going to be part of the backbone system and will not be included in modeling.
• Channels, ditches, and flow paths were marked as not modeled if they were at the upstream end of the watershed and their contributing area was less than 40 acres. o Assumption: These facilities do not need to be included in modeling because of their small drainage area and not being part of the backbone.
• Conduits outside of the sphere of influence are not modeled and points on the edge of the sphere of influence were added to act as the inflow points of these systems. o Assumption: These conduits were classified as channels and ditches in the initial data. The effort to correct these systems and add in the necessary storm drain, junctions, and channels is beyond the scope of the project.

Initial Data Data After Editing

D. Update Datum and Edit Elevations—Vertical Corrections • The data was brought into PCSWMM and:
o All data with invert elevations had 2.3’ added to their invert elevation to convert the data from the NGVD29 to NAVD88 datum.
o All junctions were assigned rim elevations based on the 2018 DEM.  Assumption: NAVD88 is a more recent datum and considered to be more accurate than NGVD29. The data was raised 2.3’ based on the analyzing sample elevations from NGVD29 and NAVD88 DEM’s
08/12/2025

11 • All junctions that were exposed to the group (headwalls, outlets, channel confluences) were given invert elevations equaling the rim elevation.
• The remaining junctions with no elevations were given a minimum of 2’ of cover to the furthest extent practicable.
o Assumption: The 2’ of cover is based on the 2014 San Diego County Hydraulic Design Manual. If there was not 2’ of cover available because of a large pipe size, shallow slopes, or tying into initial elevation inventory, the invert elevation was raised to try to keep a

0.5% conduit slope.

1 1.0 Introduction
This appendix summarizes the hydrology and hydraulics modelling methodology used in this CMTC DMP.

The results from the analysis are populated as an attribute to the GIS dataset provided to the City at the conclusion of this project.

2.0 Hydrology - Methodology

2.1 Rainfall
Point precipitation data for the study area was ob tained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 Precipitation Frequency Data Server (PFDS) (NOAA 2011). The NOAA data was used because it has more recent data, has a longe r record, and is planned for adoption in the next update of the San Diego County hydrology manual. The end result is a site specific intensity rather than a County-wide equation.

2.1.1 Rainfall Pattern
Setting up a storm simulation in EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) requires a hyetograph to distribute rainfall across the subcatchments over the storm duration. Based on guidance in Hydrologic Analysis of Ungaged Watersheds Using HEC-1, the ne sted storm distribution was selected for the study (USACE 1982). The nested storm provides the peak intensities necessary to assess drainage infrastructure at the inlet scale (up to 5-minute rainfall intensities) while preserving the total volume of runoff generated from the storm duration.

2.1.2 Rainfall Hyetograph Development
To develop the unit intensity duration relationship for the study area, NOAA precipitation depth data from the centroids of the Agua Hedionda, Buena Vista, and San Luis Rey were obtained for the 2-, 10-, 100- year, 24-hour, and the 1-year, 1-hour storm events. Rainfall data obtained from the NOAA PFDS was used 08/12/2025

2 to generate an updated intensity-duration relation ship for use within the study area. The 100-year precipitation depth data from these rain gages, and the City of Vista study area is shown in Figure 2-1 (NOAA 2011).

Figure 2-1: 100-year, 24-hour precipitation depth
The resulting rainfall intensity-duration data points generated from the NOAA precipitation depth data were reviewed and plotted for comparison (NOAA 2011). This was done to visually identify any discrepancy in the intensity-duration pairs when plotte d. The intensity-duration pairs will appear linear on a log-log scale. When plotted, the rainfall data collected at the centroids of the drainage basins yielded a linear intensity-duration relationship (Figure 2-2). Th is plot provides a comparison of the 100-year 24- hour precipitation intensities for the drainage basins with the project area centroid. 0 1

Though the intensities plotted exhibit similar patterns for the centroids of the drainage basins and the project area for the City, relationship of magnitude of intensity for each drainage basin varied with the intensity of the center of the study area. It was de termined that the rainfall data aggregated for each drainage basin would be appropriate for modeling purposes. The precipitation data pairs were entered in 5-minute increments. Precipitation de pths at certain durations were obtained directly from NOAA Atlas 14 (NOAA 2011). Precipitation depths bounded by the given values were determined by log-log interpolation at 5-minute increments.

The incremental precipitation data was then arranged into a (2/3, 1/3) rainfall distribution with the storm peak occurring at 16 hours, as described in the 2003 San Diego County Hydrology Manual, hyetograph, as seen in
Figure 2-3.

2.2 Hydrologic Modeling
The developed hyetographs were imported into PCSWMM as a DAT file with 5-minute time steps. Both the existing and proposed condition H&H models utilized the data from the hyetographs to generate the runoff hydrographs for each subcatchment. Refer to Section 2.0 of this memo for more information regarding the hydraulic analysis methodology and modeling approach.

PCSWMM uses EPA’s SWMM Version 5 (SWMM5) engine, which uses the nonlinear reservoir modeling methodology to estimate the rainfall-runoff relationship for a subarea. Nonlinear reservoir modeling uses a combination of mass conservation and the Manning E quation to determine the volumetric flow rate from a subcatchment. SWMM5 requires several para meters to calibrate each subcatchment. The parameters include:
• area (in acres),
• characteristic width of the subcatchment,
• slope,
• percent impervious,
• Manning’s “n” values for pervious and impervious overland surfaces, • depression storage for pervious and impervious surfaces, • percent of impervious area with no depression storage, and • infiltration parameters.

5 The Green-Ampt Method was used to estimate infiltration potential, which requires the following parameters: soil capillary suction head, soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, and initial moisture deficit (i.e., the difference between soil porosity and initial moisture content). This method was chosen over the others because it considers variable water content conditions.

Each subcatchment is connected via a conveyance node and link network (e.g., inlets and pipes), which routes runoff generated toward the storm drain system outfall. Refer to Section 2.0 for more information regarding the hydraulic analysis methodology and modeling procedures.

The overland Manning’s “n” values are: 0.012 for impervious cover, and 0.10 for pervious cover. These values are further documented in Table 3-5 of the Storm Water Management Model Reference Manual Volume I – Hydrology (2016).

The land cover feature class was used to determine the percent impervious for each subcatchment based on assigned impervious percentages to each land use. The land use shapes were intersected with the inlet drainage area delineations to perform an area-weighting analysis of the average impervious cover. Refer to Appendix B for a map which documents the land uses throughout the study area and the assigned impervious percentage for each land use.

Soil parameters were obtained using Appendi x G of the Model BMP Design Manual (2018). The distribution of hydrologic soil groups within the st udy area is based on the USA Soils Hydrologic Group ArcGIS feature class for National Resources Conservation Service hydrologic soil groups (refer to appendix B for an exhibit documenting the mapped NRCS hydrologic soil groups within the study area).

3.0 Hydraulics - Methodology

3.1 Flow Routing
The PCSWMM platform uses SWMM5 to perform hydraulic calculations and presents flow routing options to be selected for the model. Flow routing is go verned by the equations of continuity, mass, and momentum—also known as the St. Venant Flow eq uations—with flexibility offered to the modeler regarding the complexity of the terms considered in the equations. The program allows the modeler to select from the Steady Flow, Kinematic Wave, and Dynamic Wave routing options. The Manning normal depth equation is used in all routing options to relate flow depth, flow rate, and surface friction.

Steady Flow routing was judged to be inappropriate for modeling this study area as it does not represent flow routing per a defined time step during the simulation. It is the simplest computation method that translates the inflow hydrographs directly downstream without any change in shape and simply uses the normal depth equations to relate flow rates, depths, and cross-sectional areas of the conveyance network.

This method does not represent any backwater effects or pressurized flow and does not consider the user- defined computational time steps during the storm simulation.

Kinematic Wave routing was not selected for this study as it was incompatible with the 2-D analysis. It employs a simplified form of the momentum equation but does not consider all of the equation’s terms.

This routing method does not account for any backwater effects or pressurized flow.

6 Dynamic Wave routing was the option selected for all analyses performed in this study. The purpose of this study was to produce a model that would most closely relate the actual conditions of the dynamic relationship between surface and subsurface convey ance, and potential flooding concerns. This routing option considers all terms of the St. Venant Flow equations and presents the most theoretically correct results accounting for backwater effects, pressurized flow, flow attenuation, and reversal of flow. The caveat in selecting this routing option, however, was maintaining numerical stability in the model by using extremely small computational time st eps that resulted in significant simulation times for 2-D analyses.

The time steps must be small enou gh to analyze the short conduits in the model so the computational time steps were based on the shortest conduit and checked through a simplified Courant equation.

3.2 Conveyance Material and Manning’s Roughness Coefficients In PCSWMM, the Manning roughness values are associat ed with a conveyance material database. Each channel, pipe, and conduit in the 1-D portion of the model must have a material code assigned to it; in that way, the resistance to flow and energy losses along the conduit length can be calculated.

Table
3-1 lists the material types and the associated Manning’s “n” value assigned to each material code in the models. The Manning’s conduit roughness values were assigned based on table 3-4 of the Urban Drainage Design Manual (Federal Highway Administration, 2009). Manning’s overland “n” values for subcatchment routing were selected using the Storm Water Management Model Reference Manual Volume I - Hydrology as reference (Rossman 2016).

Table 3-1. Conveyance material abbreviations and Manning’s roughness coefficients Material Roughness Description
CMP 0.024 Corrugated Metal Pipe
PVC 0.013 Polyvinyl Chloride
RCP 0.013 Reinforced Concrete Pipe

3.3 Storm Water Inlet Modeling
The initial storm drain inventory includes 1,861 inlet or catch basin structures for the collection of surface runoff from streets, ditches, swales, and overland flow. Undersized storm water inlets can limit the efficiency of the existing conveyance infrastructu re to collect and convey runoff during storm events; however, detailed sizes of each inlet and type are needed to assess in the model. For the purposes of this DMP study, the model assumes the approach flow can enter the inlet, and the potential restriction for conveyance is being modeled based on the size of the outgoing pipe and required head to allow conveyance in the pipe. If the pipe is a limiting fa ctor, then the portion of storm water flows exceeding the capacity of the outgoing pipe (from each inlet) is bypassed along the surface via street conveyance in the dual drainage models.

3.4 1-D Dual Drainage Model
The development of the 1-D hydraulic model includes development of a • Minor System: Pipe/open channel drainage network for all pipes 18-inches and larger. Pertinent pipes having less than 18-inch diameters also were included in the model if they were considered part of the primary backbone storm drain system s. Key hydraulic structures such as culverts, 08/12/2025

7 outfalls, and pipes also were included in the 1-D model, as were hydraulic structures that control the flow entering or discharging from the primary system, and • Major System: Conveyance features parallel to the storm drain and represents street flow. These features reflect a typical street cross section.

A dual drainage model is created by connecting th e minor and major systems. The major and minor systems are linked at points where exchange of storm water between the surface conveyance system and the engineered storm water conveyance system coul d occur—typically at storm drain inlets, manholes, connectors, headwalls, and outlet structures. This a pproach allows for conservation of total flow when minor system capacity is exceeded. The dual drainage model was then run and solved, representing the storm water conveyance on the street and in the sub-surface storm water conveyance system.

The 1-D dual drainage model was executed based on general plan land uses using the runoff hydrographs resulting from NOAA rainfalls for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year, 24-hour storm events; and the 1-year, 1-hour storm event was run to identify potential locations for state trash capture compliance purposes.

3.5 Conveyance Capacity
The capacities of the storm drain system were e valuated based on the 2014 San Diego Hydraulic Manual criteria that the hydraulic grade line is maintained 1- foot below the ground surface or gutter flow.

Conduits are flagged if their upstream junction is within 1-foot of the ground elevation or modelled as surcharging. A headwall or junction that has the same rim and invert elevations used a measurement of invert elevation plus height of pipe plus 2- feet as the ground elevation from which to measure surcharging depths.

1 Background
Additional feasibility analysis was performed to iden tify four structural opportunities that can be integrated directly into the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) list. The feasibility analysis considered available as-builts and GIS data with focus on wet-utilities (stormwater, sewer), 2014 LiDAR topography, and a site visit conducted on October 11, 2022. Also, this feasibility analysis prioritized baffle boxes over hydrodynamic separators to reduce the depth within the systems to factor in the available hydraulic head and/or increase the ease of maintenance. Narrative for each of the selected four structural opportunities is presented below.

2 BV-2
Overview: BV-2 is located near the intersection of Redlands Street and West Orange Street. This regional opportunity receives runoff from 217 acres of PLU area and has a trash capture rate of 268 feet per second (CFS). The proposed design for BV-2 includes three (3) Contech 10-20 DSBBs with 54-inch diversion pipes.

A low flow diversion is proposed to intersect the existing 6.5-foot by 14.5-foot culvert approximately 100 feet upstream from the downstream headwall of the culvert and discharge treated water at the downstream headwall. The three DSBBs are to be loca ted along the east side of Redlands Street, each with its own inlet and outlet. The low flows are to split with a flow splitting device so each DSBB receives equal flow. After out-letting from the DSBBs the treated water would flow into a 54-inch pipe along the center of Redlands Street before discharging back into the channel. The invert depth of the proposed pipes for the DSBBs were approximately 7.4 feet below the surface. The feasibility of the BV-2 opportunity was determined using as-built drawing D3210 and GIS elevation data.

Opportunity and Constraints : This location had limited space because of the existing culvert and sewer line running along the centerline of Redlands Street. To avoid existing infrastructure, a linear design was proposed. While this design requires new piping, it requires minimal rerouting of the existing infrastructure. There is an existing storm drain line running east to west across Redlands Street between the second and third DSBBs. The inlet on the west side of Redlands Street is proposed to be treated by the third DSBB by tying in to the third DSBBs inlet pipe. The inlet from the east side of Redlands Street is proposed to remain untreated and flow into the 54-inch outlet pipe along the center of Redlands Street.

3 BV-3
Overview: BV-3 is located at the intersection of West Vista Way and South Melrose Drive within Caltrans Right-of-Way (ROW). This regional control had a PL U area of 167 acres and a trash capture rate of 141 feet per second (CFS). The proposed design for BV-3 includes two Contech 11-16-128 DSBBs with 54-inch pipes. The low flow diversion was proposed to intersect the existing 7-foot storm drain approximately 70 feet downstream from South Vista Way and discharge the treated flows approximately 90 feet downstream. The two DSBBs were arranged side by side, each with its own inlet and outlet. The low flows are to split with a flow splitting device so each DSBB receives equal flow. After out-letting from the DSBBs, the treated flows will discharge from the DSBBs into a 54-inch pipe before discharging back into the main storm drain line. The invert depth of the proposed pipes for the DSBBs were approximately 17 feet below the surface. The feasibility of the BV-3 opportunity was determined using as-built drawing D1835 and GIS elevation data.

Opportunity and Constraints:
• Gold Drive Alternative: Gold Drive is a cul-de-sac approximately 900 feet north of West Vista Way.

Placing the DSBBs at Gold Drive was determined to be infeasible due to the depth of the sewer invert compared to the main line invert. Diversions from the mainline would interfere with the existing sewer line. It was not feasible to use DSBBs at this location without relocating the existing sewer line.
• Caltrans ROW Alternative: The main constraint at this location was also the existing sewer line.

Approximately 70 feet downstream from Vista Way the storm drain line crossed under the sewer.

The proposed low flow diversion is downstream from the intersection of the sewer line and the storm drain. Having the low flow diversion downstream of the sewer line avoids any necessity to reroute the sewer line. The other item to consider is the need to coordinate with Caltrans to site this structural control with the ROW.

4 AH-2
Overview: AH-2 is located near the intersection of Faraday Way and Brookhaven Pass. This regional control had a PLU area of 124 acres and a trash captur e rate of 65 feet per second (CFS). The proposed design for AH-2 includes one Contech 11-16-128 DSBB wi th a 54-inch pipe. The low flow diversion was proposed to intersect the existing 54-inch storm dr ain at the center of Brookhaven Pass along Faraday Street and discharge the treated flows approximatel y 35 feet downstream. The invert depth of the proposed pipe for the DSBB was approximately 13 f eet below the surface. The feasibility of the AH-2 opportunity was determined using as-built drawing D3310. In addition to the proposed DSBB, there is a proposal to reroute the new storm drain along Eastbrook Road and Brookhaven Pass.

Opportunity and Constraints: There are very few constraints at the AH-2 location. There is adequate space for the DSBB at the intersection. The proposed storm drain re-route will need to buck grade on Eastbrook Road, northwest of the DSBB.

5 AH-9
Overview: AH-9 is located near the intersection of Business Park Drive and Poinsettia Avenue. This regional control had a PLU area of 100 acres and a tr ash capture rate of 34 feet per second (CFS). The proposed design for AH-9 includes one Contech 6-12-90 DSBB with a 36-inch pipe. The low flow diversion was proposed to divert from the existing 66-inch storm drain on west of Business Park Drive and discharge the treated flows approximately 55 feet downstream. The invert depth of the proposed pipes for the DSBB was approximately 24 feet below the surface. The feasibility of the AH-9 opportunity was determined using as-built drawing D3009 and GIS elevation data.

Opportunity and Constraints: There are very few constraints at the AH-9 location. The depth of the manhole to access the DSBB could present a problem during maintenance activities and will require additional design features (e.g., access ramp). The road is raised, and the storm drain bucks grade before the proposed DSBB location. The potential locations of the DSBB were limited by the Vista city limit to the west and an open channel to the east of Business Park Drive.

4 City of Vista | Trash Capture BMP Device Analysis CIP 8343 This section summarizes our project understanding, technical approach, and management approach.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Vista is taking a proactive approach to
comply with the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) Trash Amendments (Resolution No. 2015-
0019) and the San Diego Regional Water Quality
Control Board (SDRWQCB) MS4 Permit (Order No.

R9-2017-0077). Through its Track 2 Implementation
Plan, the City has developed a strategy that integrates both structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to achieve full trash capture system
equivalency across Priority Land Use (PLU) areas.

While non-structural BMPs such as enhanced street
sweeping are projected to remove approximately 4,900
gallons of trash per year, an estimated 6,230 gallons
per year must still be addressed through structural
controls. To support this effort, RICK previously assisted the City in developing the California Mandated Trash
Cleanup Drainage Master Plan (CMTC DMP), which
identified 31 candidate locations for potential BMPs
(shown in Figure below) and included a GIS-based tool
to evaluate trash capture effectiveness.

The objective of this project is to verify the performance of existing devices, screen and prioritize candidate
BMPs, and ultimately deliver PS&E documents for 10
feasible and effective trash capture devices. This

work will support the City’s transition from planning to implementation while ensuring regulatory compliance,
cost efficiency, and long-term maintainability.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
The RICK Team brings extensive experience in
stormwater planning, urban retrofit design, and
regulatory compliance. Our approach is tailored to
align with the City’s goals and ensure defensible,
constructible outcomes while remaining adaptable to
field conditions and stakeholder feedback. Section IV
provides a detailed scope of work that builds on the
technical approach described here. Below, we highlight
key technical considerations that will be addressed
early in the project to set the stage for success:
[ Alternative Land Use Credits: Evaluate and
document credit opportunities for BMPs treating
non-PLU areas.
[ Hydrology: Select appropriate hydrologic methods
and obtain early concurrence on sizing criteria
based on watershed characteristics and rainfall
data. Different methods and approaches exist based
on what is considered acceptable.
[ Hydraulics: Assess hydraulic capacity of existing
systems and incorporate sizing considerations for
bypass design and sizing of trash capture devices
where design constraints exist.
[ Project Types/Devices: Selecting appropriate
project types/devices, retrofits vs regional vs.
subregional based site feasibility and watershed
characteristics.
[ Double Counting: Establish clear crediting
protocols to avoid overestimating benefits from
combined strategies.
[ Regulatory Defensibility: Align analysis and
design methods with SWRCB and SDRWQCB
guidance to ensure robust, traceable compliance
documentation.
[ Partial Capture Devices: Account for existing
and planned partial capture devices in overall
compliance calculations.
[ Overlapping BMPs: Ensure proper crediting in
locations where multiple BMPs overlap or provide
cumulative benefits.

III. Project Understanding & Approach

160 of 237
5 City of Vista | Trash Capture BMP Device Analysis CIP 8343 [ Utility Conflicts and Access: Identify utility and
access constraints early to prevent costly redesigns
or infeasible projects.
[ Maintenance Feasibility: Design with long-term
O&M in mind, using standard City equipment and
practices to ensure sustainability.
[ Workflow Integration: Incorporate maintenance
procedures and data collection into the City’s
existing Public Works workflows and asset
management systems.

With a strong track record supporting more than half
of the San Diego region’s Copermittees on Trash
Amendments compliance, D-Max brings deep regulatory
insight to inform realistic assumptions and adaptive
strategies from the outset. Together, the RICK Team is
uniquely positioned to guide the City in advancing this critical initiative. Through transparent collaboration, strategic planning, and practical design solutions,
we will deliver a clear, defensible path to achieving
full trash capture system equivalency.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH. RICK is known for delivering quality projects on time and within budget. A key to our success is the regular use of project control tools, procedures, and methods. These support planning, scheduling, scope and budget monitoring while also aiding document control, cost estimating, and adapting to project changes. To be effective, RICK project staff engage in project controls and management of best practices at the project onset as they document the project expectations and track actual performance. The RICK disciplined management approach is based on the five key components below.

COMMUNICATION & COORDINATION
Our approach to effective project management
is rooted in clear and effective communication.

Communication plays a key role in meeting project
objectives, reducing risk, and maintaining project
schedule and budget. We understand how important
clear and transparent project communication is to the
City. We will employ key communication strategies with
City counterparts to deliver a successful project.

PROJECT PLANNING & SCHEDULING
Detailed planning at the beginning of the project
is essential to reduce risk, ensure quality, and
maintain schedule and budget. Upon receiving the
Notice to Proceed, the RICK Team will create a detailed schedule using Microsoft Project to organize the overall project tasks and budget, while tracking actual versus
scheduled work and costs. Critical-path items, staffing resources, and cost estimates will be documented and
tracked.

COST CONTROLS
We take the financial restrictions that exist
seriously for our clients and avoid in every
possible way making any changes to the project budget.

Our clients frequently note the dedicated efforts made by RICK staff in this regard. The best way to control costs is to establish a well-defined project scope in collaboration with our clients. Determining our clients’ needs and
goals up front and organizing the project to achieve
those specific goals drastically reduces changes as the project progresses.

RICK leverages advanced project control tools such as Microsoft Project and Deltek Vision to provide the City of Vista with real-time project tracking, efficient resource allocation, and proactive risk management. These tools enhance
transparency, accountability, and decision-making.

of tracking and management activities, including:
[ Weekly expenditure tracking, report
compilation, and report review by the Project
Manager using Deltek Vision
[ Effective staff supervision
[ Continuity of staff assignments
[ Continuous project communication
[ Timely resolution of project issues
[ Monthly detailed reports (expenditures vs.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/

QUALITY CONTROL
Delivering quality products is a foundational
component of RICK’s business practice. The RICK
Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program is
comprehensive and based on proven techniques and
years of experience. With more than seven decades of
experience, RICK has earned a reputation for producing
high-quality work, as evidenced by its many long-term
clients. No matter the project size, we are committed to understanding our clients’ needs, meeting the quality
requirements and standards specified, and surpassing
our clients’ expectations.

As a matter of practice, RICK promotes continual
emphasis and commitment to quality control through
all project phases. Our efforts are facilitated by utilizing the Company’s Manual on Quality Control Standards,
periodic quality control seminars, peer reviews, and
staff performance reviews throughout the year. We
apply these measures to all levels of work, including
project scheduling, internal reviews, record-keeping
documentation, and plan preparation. A quality control
plan is prepared for each project, and the assigned
Project Manager maintains the requisite checklists.

Quality control reviews are coordinated by our QA/
QC Manager (Brendan Hastie and John Quenzer)
and conducted by an independent Project Manager
throughout the development of a project.

CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
Our team continually improves when we identify
best practices and the project team documents
lessons learned throughout the project life-cycle. We
share this project data across RICK’s multiple disciplines and integrate it into the company’s institutional
knowledge base. The experience gained from one
project can benefit future projects and improve company capabilities and the service we provide to the City.

RICK’s management approach to projects is not one
size fits all. We understand the need to constantly
adapt to fit the needs outlined by the City’s Project
Manager. We know that a successful project starts with
a clear understanding and development of the scope
and fee from concept to completion of construction.

This approach helps ensure that assumptions are in
alignment for the success of the project.

12 City of Vista | Trash Capture BMP Device Analysis CIP 8343 ORGANIZATIONAL CHART. A well-organized team, with a clear division of responsibilities, is essential to successful delivery of a project with the complexity of the City’s Trash Capture BMP Device Analysis. Our project team is structured to provide all services specified in the RFP and to be responsive to project goals and City’s needs.

We selected local subject-matter experts who have many years of relevant experience and have worked together as a cohesive team on several projects in Vista and its surrounding watersheds. Our organization chart identifies our key personnel, the requisite disciplines and support staff, as well as the reporting/communication structure within the team. All proposed staff shown are fully committed to the needs of this project, from start to finish.

LINES OF COMMUNICATION. Timely, clear, and concise communication is a key component of RICK’s proven project management approach. We will communicate frequently and candidly within our team (including subconsultants) and with the City on technical, contractual, and administrative matters.

As the main point-of-contact, Venkat will keep in regular communication with the City, including email, telephone, and face-to-face meetings as appropriate based on circumstances. We understand the value of people’s time and the value of clear communication. When a brief email will suffice, that will be the communication method used. If a more complex issue arises that requires a face-to-face meeting, Venkat will schedule a meeting with the City and appropriate project team members.

STRATEGIC ADVISOR AND QA/QC
| JOHN QUENZER, CPSWQ, QSD/P
will serve as a strategic advisor for
Trash Amendment compliance planning
and will support with conducting quality
control reviews throughout the project
and prior to deliverable finalization. John
has been involved in Trash Amendments compliance
planning since the State Water Board adopted them in
2015. He has developed comparisons for the Track 1
and Track 2 compliance approaches and presented the
results to management for several jurisdictions. John has worked with over half the San Diego region Copermittees on Trash Amendments compliance planning and
will provide insight on different implementation and
compliance approaches. For Track 2 agencies like
the City, that includes how to take credit for different structural and non-structural strategies, avoiding double counting strategies for BMPs in the same vicinity,
how to complete the Full Capture System Equivalency
calculations, and integrating maintenance procedures
and data collection into the Public Works’ existing
workflows and data management systems.

TRASH ORDER COMPLIANCE|
ANDREW THIES, CFM will lead trash
order compliance related tasks. He
specializes in using GIS to develop
asset inventories, assess conditions,
model capacities, and create integrated
solutions for asset management
programs. Andrew performs advanced hydrologic and
hydraulic calculations using multiple platforms, with

WATER RESOURCES AND H&H |
MARIAH RODRIGUEZ will lead water
resources and H&H studies. Mariah
in the last two years supported the
County Field Engineering, Drainage
department perform plan check reviews
for compliance with County Hydrology
Manual, Hydraulic Design Manual, and BMP Design
Manual standards, for storm water infrastructure located within the public right-of-way. Mariah was the lead water resources designer on four plus trash capture design
projects for the County including the award-winning Los Coches Creek Dry Weather Diversion and Trash Capture
project. Regional full capture systems are typically
diverted off main storm drain conveyance facilities with the introduction of cleanouts, drop structures, and/or weir walls. A primary challenge in designing these systems
is ensuring that the existing storm drain conveyance
capacity is maintained, improved, or not negatively
impacted with the proposed improvements required to
divert low flows. This gets challenging when existing
storm drain systems are undersized and do not meet
current hydraulic design criteria. At the request of the County CIP division Mariah is currently developing a
memorandum that documents different types of analyses
and a preferred approach to perform hydraulic analysis to design a full capture system. The intent is to standardize the modeling approach to have consistency with project
designs and streamline project approvals.

CIVIL ENGINEERING | NICK
DORNER, PE will lead the PS&E
development. Nick is an Associate
Principal at RICK and oversees a group
of experienced staff. Nick has overseen
the design and preparation of PS&E

maintenance procedures and data collection into
the Public Works’ existing workflows and data
management systems.
[ Implementation of Trash Capture BMPs: RICK
brings unparalleled experience with design and
implementation of trash capture BMPS within
constrained ROWs and complex utility environments.

We have successfully designed and delivered
numerous award-winning trash capture projects in
the past five years for agencies including the County
of San Diego, City of Santee, and City of San Diego.

Several additional BMPs are currently in concept,
design, and construction phases and these are
highlighted in the project examples included in this
Section. We will leverage this experience to develop
30%, 90%, and final 100% design plans for selected
devices, including detailed layouts, hydrology,
cost estimates, and bid-ready documents per City
standards.

RICK collaborated with the Council for Watershed Health (CWH), Dr. Darla Elswick, and UC Merced to support the City of Newman’s vision to develop the Newman Community Conservation Area (NCCA), which is a large-scale plan focused on providing water quality, water resiliency, recreational, and wildlife benefits to the community. One component of the NCAA is the Newman Environmental Wetland System (NEWS) project designed to treat agricultural runoff and urban stormwater runoff and meet California State Trash Amendments. CWH and the project team supported the application and successful award of a State Water Resources Control Board’s (SWRCB) Proposition 1 Storm Water Technical Assistance grant to fund the project. RICK was responsible for initial project concept through complete engineering design (PS&E). Our team is supporting construction management throughout construction. The project is in the final stages of construction.

NEWS is a constructed stormwater treatment wetland designed to meet project performance and multi-benefit objectives set forth by the City and SWRCB. Its many benefits include decreasing pollutant loading to the San Joaquin River from urban and agricultural runoff, trash capture, mimicking natural wetland functions and processes, augmenting groundwater supply to the Delta-Mendota Subbasin, and providing community benefits such as recreation, aesthetic improvements, and environmental learning opportunities.

NEWS has three primary design features: a sediment forebay, high and low marsh, and micropool. Each feature targets different processes to improve water quality, remove trash, and opportunistic infiltration. The design includes approved Full Trash Capture devices to address the State Trash Amendments. Water treatment includes sedimentation, biological, and biochemical processes. Treated water flows back to Miller Ditch, and ultimately to the San Joaquin River.

Project performance assessment includes water quality monitoring and collection of information to support operational and maintenance needs. NEWS includes flow monitoring at key points, water level monitoring in basin, weather monitoring, and water quality sample collection. As part of a partnership between the City and University of California, Merced, Dr. Marc Buetel and Engineering Department students will conduct sample collection and data management. NEWS will provide a long-term educational benefit for Dr. Buetel’s students, serving as a real-world laboratory, fostering the next generation’s imagination and ingenuity for future GI design. Data and information gathered as part of the NEWS performance assessment will support on-going management of the project as well as informing similar designs statewide.

NEWS is uniquely designed to
form a butterfly, tying into the
theme of preserving natural open
space in the NCAA.

RICK has maintained a long-standing partnership with the City of Santee, significantly contributing to water resource management through multiple contracts.

Projects and consulting services provided through these contracts have enhanced water quality, improved drainage infrastructure, and ensured regulatory compliance, consistently supporting the City’s stormwater management and infrastructure goals.

This relationship reflects RICK’s commitment to quality and innovation.

As-Needed Civil Design: As a subconsultant, RICK led the water resource engineering for a variety of CIP projects from the conceptual stage through Final PS&E and construction (including long-term O&M planning and support). One award-winning project is highlighted below:
[ Mast Park: RICK played a pivotal role in identifying the opportunity to include Multi-Benefit Regional BMPs (and Trash Capture) into the large Park Redevelopment project. In expedited fashion, we supported the City in securing grant funding to integrate these additional elements into the project design and construction. The BMPs provide significant pollutant load reduction from hundreds of acres of otherwise untreated existing development previously discharging directly into SD River, while also increasing groundwater recharge, and allowing Disc Golf to be played throughout the series of swales and basins. Potential ACP credit was also calculated and “banked” for potential City use in the future.
[ Other Projects: Sycamore Creek Maintenance, Prospect-Mesa Pedestrian Crossing, Woodside Avenue Roundabout – Drainage and GI.

Master Drainage Study (MDS): In 2023, RICK updated the Citywide MDS with advanced hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, identifying key deficiencies and proposing seven high-priority Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Our GIS-based updates support long-term stormwater management and future development planning.

As-Needed Plan Review Services: Since 2017, RICK has provided plan review services, reviewing drainage and water quality documents for both discretionary and ministerial permits. Our reviews of Drainage / H&H Studies, PDP SWQMPs, and PDP Exempt Green Street projects have ensured technical and regulatory standards are met, safeguarding Santee’s infrastructure, water resources, and compliance.
