Executive Summary
The Navy subsequently prepared two EAs as tiered analyses to the EIS due to subsequent changes in the
location of beach receiver sites. These two EAs are Environmental Assessment for Be a c h
Replenishment at South Oceanside and Cardiff/Solana Beach, California (Department of the Navy
1997a) and Environmental Assessment for Beach Replenishment at North Carlsbad, South Carlsbad,
Encinitas, and Torrey Pines (Department of the Navy 1997b). As a result of the Homeporting project
and subsequent EAs, permits were issued to the Navy to place approximately 5.5 million cy of sand
dredged from San Diego Bay, both onshore and nearshore, at 11 receiver sites along the San Diego region
coastline (Table ES-1). During beach replenishment in Oceanside, however, munitions were found in the
dredged materials from San Diego Bay and beach replenishment efforts were halted. Prior to the halting
of the beach replenishment disposal, approximately 284,000 cy of sediment were placed on three receiver
sites; specifically, Oceanside, Del Mar, and Mission Beach. Oceanside received 102,000 cy (onshore),
Del Mar received 170,000 cy (nearshore), and Mission Beach received 12,000 cy (nearshore).

Reflects quantity of sand based on Alternative 1. One other alternative analyzed in detail in this EIR/EA

would result in a maximum of 2.04 million cy of sand to be replenished with fewer receiver sites and a greater
amount of material at some remaining sites.
