APPROVAL OP MINUTES;
The minutes of the meeting held September 17, 1992 were approved as
presented.
1. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS-ANDREW KADIBt This item was continued
because Mr. Kadib was unable to attend.
2. SDG&E DREDGINGi Staff member Steve Jantz explained the SDG&E
Special Use Permit (SUP) process and gave an overview of the
permits needed from other agencies for the dredging. The
Committee discussed placement of sand on the beach noting sand
should be placed as far north as possible. Committee
discussed pumping sand north to Buena Vista Lagoon and asked
if there had been a cost analysis for a booster pump. Paul
O'Neal from SDG&E said this was the first time he had heard
about going to Buena vista Lagoon and they have no funds
budgeted to go north. They can now go as far as Oak or maybe
Carlsbad Village Drive and can consider going north every two
years.
Committee discussed the 10 year length of the permit and
agreed that an annual review by the Committee on where the
sand should be placed or stored would be sufficient.
Committee determined that the top priority is to protect
Carlsbad Boulevard by placement of sand between the jetties.
SDG&E will do a profile to determine the cubic yards of sand
or width of beach needed to protect the Boulevard. Committee
discussed the need for placement of sand to the south of the
jetty and the need to go as far north as possible preferrably
to Buena Vista Lagoon. Placement of sand should be based on
the past studies. Two thirds should go to the north and one
third to the south. Once storage sites are identified, it may
be best to stockpile and put sand on the beach in summer.
Committee continued discussion to Wednesday, December 9, 1992
at 9:00 A.M. to review conditions to be recommended for the
SUP.
