1. OPPORTUNISTIC SAND: Staff member Steve Jantz provided the Committee a status
of the U.S. Marine Corps dredging operation on the Santa Margarita River. The Marines
and the City of Oceanside are trying to secure the appropriate regulatory permits for
disposal on Oceanside beaches. The City of Encinitas is also interested in trucking sand
to Moonlight Beach.
Ladd Construction has already dredged approximately 250,000 cubic yards with an
estimated additional 75,000 cubic yards to be dredged. The contractor is pursuing viable
markets to sell some of the material to offset the costs of trucking the sand to the beach.
Staff will provide an update at the March meeting.
Staff member Steve Jantz provided the Committee a brief status of the City's
Opportunistic Sand Program. The program currently proposes four sites, staff is

disposal across the street from SDG&E. Staff members Steve Jantz and Uoyd Hubbs are
preparing a strategy for the completion of this program.
