WHEREAS, The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is carrying out the
San Diego Regional Beach Sand Project in order to initiate restoration of the region’s seriously
eroded beaches; and
WHEREAS, the objective of the project is to place a total of 2 million cubic yards of
clean, beach quality sand at 12 beaches throughout the region, creating six miles of new beach
area; and
WHEREAS, the project budget has a deficit of approximately $1.1 million which would
necessitate the reduction of about 12% of the sand scheduled to be placed at each of the 12
beaches; and
WHEREAS, the project’s state and federal permits require the establishment of a fund of
up to $1.3 million to be reserved for use in mitigating significant long-term environmental
impacts to nearshore reefs from the project, if they occur; and
WHEREAS, the determination of significant long-term impacts will take place
subsequent to a four year environmental monitoring program conducted by SANDAG, after
which SANDAG could be required to spend up to $1.3 million to mitigate such impacts; and

WHEREAS, SANDAG’s Shoreline Preservation Committee has developed a fair-share
allocation of the $1.1 million needed to balance the project budget among the region’s coastal
jurisdictions, based on a combination of each jurisdiction’s miles of sandy shoreline and the
amount of sand it receives as part of the Regional Beach Sand Project; and
WHEREAS, the Shoreline Preservation Committee recommended at its March 1, 2001
meeting that the coastal cities establish a commitment to pay their fair-share of the project’s
budget shortfall to cover the potential costs of mitigating significant long-term environmental
impacts to nearshore reefs from the project, and provide the funds to SANDAG, if they are
needed.

California as follows:
1.

project.
