2.0 Alternatives Considered
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
2.4
Based on the thorough alternatives evaluation process completed to date, two alternatives were selected
for detailed evaluation in this EIR/EA. Both would result in placement of approximately 2 million cy of sand
along the San Diego region coastline. Alternative 1 is the 2 million cy alternative identified as preferred by
the SEC on December 9, 1999. It includes most of the receiver sites selected as having critical need per
the 1 9 9 3 Shoreline Erosion Preservation Strategy for the San Diego Region. Alternative 2 was
derived subsequent to the December 1999 recommendation and would have fewer receiver sites. Table
2-1 illustrates the sand quantities at each receiver site under both alternatives and the borrow site which
would provide material for each receiver site (Figures 2-1 and 2-2).
