2.0 Alternatives Considered
would be similar in location as under Alternative 1, although the sand quantitywould increase. Accordingly,
the length of the footprint would increase. Below is a description of the boundaries of each receiver site.
Plan views of the beach fill at applicable receiver sites were presented in the description of Alternative 1.
Those graphics clearly indicate where beach fill plans would vary under each alternative. A beach fill plan
is provided in this section for the South Carlsbad South receiver site that is not proposed under Alternative
1.
Under this alternative, beach replenishment at South Oceanside would involve onshore placement of sand
from Seagate Drive to Vista Way, a distance of approximately two miles. Refer to Figure 2-3. The final
configuration of this site may be shortened during the permitting process. This document evaluates the
maximum footprint to disclose worst-case impacts (refer to Section 2.5).
Beach replenishment at the South Carlsbad North site would consist of the placement of dredged sediment
near the Palomar Airport Road intersection with Carlsbad Boulevard, stretching to the south for 2,800 feet
(0.5 mile) near the Encinitas Creek outlet. Refer to Figure 2-4.
The South Carlsbad South receiver site (Figure 2-23) begins just south of the South Carlsbad North
receiver site and the Encinas Creek outlet. The site is approximately 1,830 feet (0.3 mile) in length. A berm
would be constructed to an elevation of approximately 12 feet above MLLW. The berm would be flat
with a width of approximately 170 feet. The berm would then slope seaward approximately 100 feet at
a slope of 10:1.
Beach replenishment at the Cardiff, Solana Beach, and Del Mar receiver sites would be identical to that
proposed under Alternative 1a. They are illustrated in Figures 2-9, 2-10, and 2-11, respectively.
The Torrey Pines receiver site would stretch approximately 2,470 feet (0.5 mile) and is located on Torrey
Pines State Beach. The northern boundary of the fill site would be identical to Alternative 1. The footprints
of both alternatives are shown in Figure 2-12.
The Mission Beach receiver site would stretching from Ostend Court to Santa Barbara Place, a distance
of approximately 2,380 feet (0.5 mile). Figure 2-13 illustrates both footprints.
