SDG&E; Staff member Jantz provided a status of SDG&E's proposed 1 994/95 Dredging Program and events that took place since the August EEC meeting. At the August meeting, the Committee deferred their decision in order to review the dredging and pending review and recommendation by Dr. Sonu. Mr. Jantz forwarded the comments of the Committee to the Coastal Commission, Army Corps and State Parks and Recreation for their consideration in SDG&E's request for amended permit requirements. About two weeks later, Steve Jantz, Bob Meyers, Dave Willaims, Dr. Sonu, Dr. Scott Jenkins, Coastal Commission and State Parks and Recreation attended a meeting at SDG&E to discuss the program. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the effects of placing sand north of the inlet jetty. Due to the potential lack of quorum of the regularly scheduled September BEC meeting, Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer, wrote a letter to SDG&E dictating the placement of the dredge material for this year: 150,000 cubic yards to be deposited at Oak Street, 200,000 cubic yards between the jetties and 50, 000 ± cubic yards south of the outlet jetty. SDG&E provided a counter offer of placing 75,000 cubic yards to the north, SDG&E will determine the timing of the dredging and the location of the disposal, and further requested that the City support a long term program for deposition with their application with the Coastal Commission Permit for a Coastal Development permit. The City discussed with SDG&E an offer of putting a 100,000 cubic yards to the north during the first phase of the dredging operation and the City would not support their Coastal Commission Permit for a five year period. SDG&E declined this offer. The next sequence of events was a trip to the Coastal Commission hearing held at Eureka on September 14, 1995, attended by Steve Jantz and representatives of SDG&E. SDG&E described the total program and explained to the Coastal Commission the reasons why not to put sand to the north, based on Dr. Scott Jenkins research. Staff requested that the Commission include in their conditions the provisions to match the letter that Uoyd Hubbs had written. The Coastal Commission did not side with the City and approved a one year dredge permit with a maximum of 500,000 cubic yards with no description of deposition locations. The Coastal Commission stated they did not wish to be involved the land use decisions between the City and SDG&E. ^ fafitThis morning, SDG&E presented ineir most current offer: A five year or long term commitment to the City as far as'ihe dredging operations of the lagoon. SDG&E has offered to place 25% of total dredge material to a stretch of beach to the north at Oak Street, fertwe dredge quantitieslwiU not exceed 75,000 cubic yards for a single event, SDG&E will determine the timing of the deposition of that material and the City will support the SDG&E permit applications to agencies next year for a five year window. The Committee recessed to an executive session to discuss SDG&E's latest proposal at 9:50 a.m. The meeting was reconvened at 10:10 a.m. MINUTES OF: Beach Erosion Committee DATE OF MEETING: September 19, 1995 PAGE 2 The Committee proposed a counter offer: 100,000 cubic yards from this year's program based on the proposal to deposit 25% of the total proposed dredge material, delay to negotiations of a five year commitment due to lack of information about the long term program, eliminate the 75,000 cubic yards cap quantity. SDG&E can determine the timing of that dredge deposition within the dredging operations and the City will support the current applications to the regulatory agencies for five year permit. SDG&E was disappointed about various elements of the Committee's proposal however, they would process the Committee's desire before the management of the power plant. SDG&E would coordinate their response with City staff for a quick resolution of the issue. SDG&E stated their desire to begin dredging in the next couple of weeks. The Committee approved by a 5-0 vote, a counter offer: a one year program with a minimum of 100,000 cubic yards being placed at Oak Street based on 25% of the total dredge quantities proposed, 250,000 cubic yards deposited between the jetties and 50,000 cubic yards deposited to the south of the outlet jetty. 2.
