Involve the construction of structural measures along the coastline.
Have received budget and/or construction approval.
Have gone through or are currently undergoing environmental review.
Are not built but are included in the General Plan, including those projects anticipated as
later phases of a previously approved project.
Several related or relevant policies; past, present, and/or reasonably foreseeable future
projects; and/or programs have been identified and are included in this cumulative impact
analysis. These include the following:
Draft Policy on Coastal Erosion Planning and Response, The Resources Agency of California,
March 26, 2001. The Resources Agency has prepared a model for policy guidance about the
approach that boards, commissions, conservancies, and departments within the Resource
Agency should consider in addressing coastal erosion and beach loss along the California
coast. It is a model policy document that may apply to developing projects, authorizing private
or public projects, or commenting on permit actions taken by other authorities, including federal,
state, and local government agencies. The Draft Policy could also be useful in efforts to assist
the public, private sector, government agencies or other interested parties in better
understanding the general approach that these departments may pursue. Examples of
agencies who would use this policy include:
The Department of Boating and Waterways is California's primary agency responsible
for working to restore eroded beaches and protecting public coastal infrastructure. The
department is responsible for administering the California Public Beach Restoration
Program. The mission of the program is to preserve and protect the California shoreline
by restoring and maintaining natural and recreational beach resources and minimizing
economic losses caused by natural and human-induced beach erosion.
The California Coastal Commission is California's primary agency responsible for
carrying out the California coastal management program assigned through the California
Coastal Act. The California Coastal Commission plans for and regulates development in
the coastal zone consistent with the policies of the California Coastal Act.
State Coastal Conservancy complements the California Coastal Commission through
coastal land acquisition and resource restoration and enhancement programs. The
Coastal Conservancy uses entrepreneurial techniques to purchase, preserve, improve,
and restore public access and natural resources along the California coast. The
Conservancy has authorized numerous grants and funding for projects in the San Diego
region to include:
In September 2000, $280,000 to retain technical specialists for studies on the
prevention of beach erosion on a regional basis and the reestablishment of
Project No. 323530000
