4. SR # 1004-4 UPDATE ON COASTAL MANAGEMENT EFFORTS IN THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE
Oceanside Coastal Zone Administrator Jayme Timberlake provided an update on the coastal management
efforts in the City of Oceanside. The City of Oceanside’s Sand Nourishment and Retention Pilot Project stems
from the City of Oceanside’s Council and the City Manager’s recognition that shoreline maintenance is a
priority to address increasing coastal stress from chronic erosion, climate change and sea level rise.
Ms. Timberlake highlighted the City of Oceanside beach management methods and projects, which include
several options for introducing new sand into the littoral cell that will come from federal, regional, and/or local
efforts. The City of Oceanside Beach Sand Replenishment and Retention Device Project Goals are as follows:
1. Renew the SCOUP (Sand Compatibility Opportunistic Use Permits) which could potentially bring
150,000 cubic yards of sand to South Oceanside and along the Strand.
2. Phase 1 - Beach Sand Feasibility Study was initiated in 2020. Key factors of the study; to consider the
use of retention devices to help retain sand and finding out that the use of retention structures
required sand be added to the littoral cell.
3. Phase 2 – Explore Design Alternatives, which is forthcoming. This design alternatives will look into
detailed options for both sand nourishment and retention.
4. The Sand Nourishment and Retention Pilot Projects main goal is to provide a buffer between the
ocean and the public/private infrastructure, as well as maintaining a safe and low cost/free
recreational space for locals and visitors.
5. Regional Benefits will provide new sand into the littoral cell for the region.
The City of Oceanside will continue to participate in federal sand nourishment programs, like the Army Corps
Engineering Study, Annual Harbor Dredging, and in the SANDAG regional sand nourishment programs (RBSP
III). Staff will also pursue sand replacement opportunities under the SCOUP permits and will seek Oceanside
City Council approval of Phase 2 by Jan. 2023.
