APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The minutes of the meeting held on January 14, 1997 were approved.
1. OPPORTUNISTIC SAND PROGRAM; Staff member Jantz reported on the progress of the
Opportunistic Sand Permitting process. The two items left to complete the process are: an
Offshore Biological study at both discharge sites required by the Army Corps and a High
Tide Line Survey required by the State Lands Commission. Carlsbad will rely on the Navy's
Homeporting biological studies for these sites as soon as they are available.
2. SDG&E DREDGING PROGRAM: Chair Howes attended a meeting hosted by SDG&E to
advise the attendees on the near and long term lagoon proposed dredging schedule and
future enhancements. Phase I will dredge the outer and middle basins of the lagoon with
Phases II through IV dealing with the inner basin. Staff member Jantz told the Committee
that the middle lagoon hasn't been dredged since 1954. Phase I will generate
approximately 200,00 cubic yards of sand which would be available in early September to
put on Carlsbad beaches. The middle basin will generate another 77,000 - 80,000 cubic
yards beginning in December. Staff member Jantz also reviewed maps with the Committee
of the lagoon findings. SDG&E does not intend to put sand to the north, as their contention
is it will close the mouth of the lagoon. The Committee discussed writing letters to all the
regulatory agencies on what sand deposition locations are needed and why.
3. SHORELINE EROSION COMMITTEE: Committee Member Jackson reported on the
Shoreline Erosion Committee meetings of February 6, 1997. Key highlights were: a
proposal for a Public Information program on Navy Homeporting with Videos, slides, Public
Workshops and press coverage; Long term Regional Coastal Sand Replenishment
program; Regional Monitoring Program with Carlsbad's portion costing $13,356; The
California Shore and Beach Preservation Association have a proposed bill to provide State
money for the Beach Erosion. A Groundbreaking ceremony for the Navy Homeporting is
tentatively scheduled for April 29, 1997.
4. OLD BUSINESS:
• Homeporting project comments from SDG&E - SDG&E is concerned with
Homeporting sand being deposited north of Agua Hedionda lagoon. Meetings are
being scheduled with SDG&E and the Navy to discuss possible measures to reduce to
possibility of sand being entrained back into the lagoon system.
