1. SHORELINE EROSION COMMITTEE SUMMARY: The Committee was apprised of the
events of the SANDAG Shoreline Erosion Committee meeting held on September 2, 1999.
Key highlights were: status report on the Regional Beach Sand Project, public information
program for the environmental review and permitting phase, draft proposal from SANDAG for
the development of a regional approach to sand retention, and an update on AB 64.
2. PROPOSED REGIONAL APPROACH TO SAND RETENTION STRATEGIES: Staff
member Jantz presented the proposed SANDAG Sand Retention Project that was
distributed at the September Shoreline Erosion Committee meeting. SANDAG staff has
suggested the preparation of a grant application requesting funds to secure professional
consultant services for the development of sand retention strategies for the San Diego
coastline. SANDAG requested that the cities and citizen committees review and comment
on the proposed grant application project description. The Committee indicated that they
needed more time to review the proposal and will provide comments at the next meeting.
3. OPPORTUNISTIC SAND PROGRAM: Staff member Steven Jantz informed the Committee
on the status of the permitting efforts for the Opportunistic Sand Program. The consultant,
Moffatt and Nichol Engineers, have prepared the CEQA document and public notice
requirements in order to complete the processing of the regulatory agency permits. Staff and
the consultant have met with representatives from the Encina Power Plant and The Beach
Homeowners Association requesting their signature on the land use permit applications.
Both owner groups expressed concerns regarding truck access, potential liability and
increased sand influx into the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Staff will pursue the policy decisions
regarding the potential liability issue with the City Attorney's office
4. Staff member Jantz further explained that the city will be constructing a sewer line along the
railway corridor from Carlsbad Village Drive to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon next year. There
is a potential of realizing approximately 30,000 - 40,000 cubic yards of beach quality material
as a result of the construction. Therefore, due to the potential of not gaining signatures from
the two property owners, the consultant will investigate the possibility of including the Ponto
Beach site as a potential disposal site. Staff will coordinate with the consultant and process
a contract amendment.
