To address post-development pollutant sources, municipalities require developers to incorporate green infrastructure into site designs. Green infrastructure provides assurances that new development and significant redevelopment does not contribute to storm water pollution. Situated at the terminus of a watershed that receives runoff from five nearby cities, the City of Carlsbad has earned a reputation for being one of the most compliance progressive cities in San Diego County. The city is required to develop and implement a compliance program for all privately owned green infrastructure. The most common type of green infrastructure in Carlsbad is bioretention basins, which make up over 54% of the city’s inventory of privately owned structures. The purpose of this presentation will be to take a critical look at Carlsbad’s Green Infrastructure Program implementation, compliance implications, and remedies municipalities should consider when green infrastructure is removed or modified. Attendees will gain a better understanding of municipal compliance, the development process, site design, inspections, enforcement and program management. By exploring the municipal perspective and interactions with the green infrastructure community, the goal is to demonstrate how project planning, interdepartmental coordination, and leveraging storm water as a resource can be a transformative process for both the municipality and community.
