1.0 Introduction
dredged materials from San Diego Bay and replenishment efforts were halted. For safety reasons, the
dredged material was relocated to LA-5, a disposal site approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA). This disposal site is located in 600 feet of water approximately 6.4 nautical miles
southwest of Point Loma. 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.
