enthusiastic proposal on Beach Profile Studies. The objective is to use the available data to
develop an understanding of North County coastline changes - where and why they take
place and where and why they are likely to occur in the future. Dale King offered to help
with Ed's proposal.
3. AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON DREDGING: Steve provided an update on the permitting
process of Cabrillo Power on activities affecting the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Cabrillo Power
has applied to the City for a Special Use Permit (SUP). Staff is currently reviewing their
proposal and establishing draft conditions of approval. The main issue surrounds the
quantity of sand on north beach. Staff has suggested that the applicant and the City
develop a beach profile that would be re-constructed with any future dredging operation.
Staff also stated that the quantity should be as close as possible to the 30% requirement.
The draft conditions will be presented to the BEC at their meeting in March.
