The irrigation schedule required by section 86.725 shall be prepared by a California licensed, landscape architect, civil engineer, architect, landscape contractor, or property owner and provide the following information:
(a) A description of the automatic irrigation system that will be used for the project.
(1) A diagram of the irrigation plan showing hydrozones shall be kept with the irrigation controller for subsequent management purposes. A copy shall be provided with the submittal of the Certificate of Completion to verify compliance.
(b) The time period when overhead irrigation will be scheduled and confirm that overhead irrigation shall only be used during the shorter of the following two intervals: 1) between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m., or 2) any more restrictive period mandated by a public water purveyor.
(c) For implementation of the irrigation schedule, particular attention must be paid to irrigation run times, emission device, flow rate, and current reference evapotranspiration, so that applied water meets the Estimated Total Water Use. Total annual applied water shall be less than or equal to Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA). Actual irrigation schedules shall be regulated by automatic irrigation controllers using current reference evapotranspiration data (e.g., CIMIS) or soil moisture sensor data.
(d) The parameters used for setting the irrigation system controller for watering times for:
(1) The plant establishment period.
(2) Established landscaping.
(3) Temporarily irrigated areas.
(4) Different seasons during the year.
(e) The parameters used for each station for the following factors:
(1) The days between irrigation.
(2) Station run time in minutes for each irrigation event, designed to avoid runoff.
(3) Number of cycle starts required for each irrigation event, designed to avoid runoff.
(4) Amount of water to be applied on a monthly basis.
(5) The root depth setting.
(6) The plant type setting.
(7) The soil type.
(8) The slope factor.
(9) The shade factor.
(10) Application rate setting.
(11) Irrigation uniformity or efficiency setting.
