Real Estate Cost Estimates 8. Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Wastes INTRODUCTION This Real Estate Supplement presents the real estate require- ments necessary for the most viable alternative to provide beach restoration. The proposed project will be cost-shared with the Sponsor, The City of Carlsbad. The project site, is located within the city of Carlsbad in San Diego County, California. This study was authorized by House Public Works and Transpor- tation committee Resolution dated 15 March 1988, in accordance with Section 110 of the River and Harbor Act of 1962. 1. PROJECT AND RIGHT-OF-WAY DESCRIPTION: The study area is defined by Buena Vista Lagoon to the north and Batiguitos Lagoon to the south. No privately owned property will be impacted, since all of the impacted property is within the beach area. This area is divided into five reaches, with Reach 3 being the focal point of the most viable alternative. Reach 3 is the 4300 foot stretch between Tamarack Boulevard and the Terra Mar housing development in front of Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Carlsbad Boulevard. This three- quarter mile length of this reach between the inlet and outlet jetties was the study are for the May 1990, Section 103 Small Project Carlsbad Beach Erosion Control Reconnaissance study. The T-groin alternative will be used to stabilize a 2700 foot long beachfill between the intake and outlet jetties at Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Reach 3. OWNERSHIP WITHIN STUDY AREA State of California: Reaches 1,2,3,4, and 5, beach area only. Private owners: In Reaches 1 and 4, the areas contiguous to the beach are significantly developed. There are 58 private and commercially owned structures in Reach 1, and 29 private single family residences in Reach 4. 2. ESTATES. The minimum interests in the real estate which will support the construction and subsequent operation and maintenance of this project must be a non-standard easement (OCE approval required). This state beach is under the limited control of the sponsor, the City of Carlsbad. A non-standard real estate easement will need to be negotiated between the city, state and federal Government for the project requirements, and continued use by the public. The source of borrow material, which is located offshore (see figure 4) , will require a borrow easement (ESTATE No. 14) and a temporary work area easement (ESTATE No. 15) will be needed for construction equipment. As an item of local cooperation, it is the obligation of the sponsor to provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction and maintenance of the project. The sponsor will provide right-of-entry for survey, exploration and construction over those lands for which it controls. REAL ESTATE REQUIREMENT FOR CARLSBAD SIZE OF AREA (in Sq Feet) Non-Standard Easements (Beach Area) : 871, 200 Temporary Work/ Staging Area : 87, 120 Borrow site (At Sea) : 4,356,000 TOTALS ( 12 2 acres) 5, 304, 320 3. PL 91-646 Relocation Benefits Based on a review of the proposed plan, at this time no potential relocations are required by the selected plan. 4. Minerals Inspections of the study area revealed no commercial mineral operations. Records from the various sources show no mining claims within the limits of the selected plan. There are no relocations required. 5. Facility and Utility Relocations NONE. The general areas of study includes consideration of alternate traffic routes, safety, isolation of individual property owners, inconvenience, types of traffic, financial hardship and circuitry of travel to services and other areas. 6. Sponsor's Ability to Acquire The sponsor has the ability to acquire any additional necessary rights in real estate for the proposed project. No purchase of additional R/W is anticipated. 7. Cost Estimate An initial real estate cost estimate is available at this time. However, it is expected that the real estate costs will not be significant with respect to total project costs or justification of a project based on the following: a. Paragraph 3, Policy Guidance letter No. 11, dated 13 October 1986, indicates "Land needed for placement of project features that prevent the loss of the land itself has no value for crediting purposes". Paragraph 9d (1) , of ER 1165-2-130, indicates that a project "sponsor may in fact incur costs in acquiring requisite interests. Accordingly, a sponsor will be credited for his actual costs or for the net reduction in total market valuation of the parcels." Since the lands concerned are owned by the state, it is expected cost of any will be limited to procuring right of entry. b. Paragraph 9d (4), indicates, that where borrow material can be more economically obtained from offshore sources, no credit will normally be given. 8. Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Wastes No hazardous or toxic waste (HTRW) sites were identified. A literature review was conducted to determine the extent of known sites within the project area.
