FROM: BEACH EROSION COMMITTEE
RE: BEACH EROSION ACTION COMMITTEE (BEACh)
Since the Beach Erosion Action Committee (BEACh) is not yet
operation, your Beach Erosion Committee is concerned that the
are no established channels for the Corps of Engineers or othe
to keep the City advised of the progress on the continuous sa
bypass in the City of Oceanside and other action planned relat
to the Oceanside Harbor or sand sources that may affect Carlsba
beaches.
There are at least two (2) significant aspects to the sand bypa
as to which the City needs information. The first is t
quantities of sand transported and the location of the
deposition and the second is the rate at which the sand migrat
once it is deposited on the beach and the pattern of migratio
It has been reported that the Corps of Engineers is contemplati or has in progress studies that could lead to changes in t
entrance to the Oceanside Harbor. The nature and scope of a
studies, the information derived, and any recommendations made
the Corps based thereon are of vital interest to the City, a
the City should be kept currently advised in respect theret
Carlsbad should also be notified of any additional flood contr
projects planned for the San Luis Rey and Santa Margari
Rivers.
As the Corps of Engineers is often the initiator of or a k
participant in the actions with which we are concerned, yo
Beach Erosion Committee therefore, recommends that as a fir
step the City establish the necessary channels for obtaining fr
the Corps of Engineers any information discussed above on
routine basis. Oral presentations by Corps personnel regardi data supplied would also be very helpful. Your Committ
believes that this might be accomplished by a letter, followed
a meeting with the Corps of Engineers and our elected officia
in Washington D.C. The Corps needs to know that beach erosi
problems should be solved in Carlsbad as well as Oceanside.
We also suggest that copies of your request to the Corps
Engineers be sent to all potential memebers of BEACh, the Coast
Commission, and our elected State and Federal officials.
