4.10 Structures and Utilities
Del Mar
Sand would be placed in front of the 17th Street storm drain outlet, but would be excavated to allow proper
drainage. Other storm drain outlets are located in the bluffs and would not be impacted by the proposed
replenishment; no impacts would occur to storm drain outlets.
The two access ramps near Powerhouse Park would not be affected by this alternative. Access to the
R
beach would not be impacted.
R
The permanent lifeguard towers would not be affected or blocked by the proposed fill. The viewing
platforms are approximately 20 feet off the sand while the proposed beach fill would be approximately 11
feet above MLLW. No impacts are anticipated to result from implementation of Alternative 1.
Torrey Pines
The permanent lifeguard tower located at the public parking lot at the base of Torrey Pines Road is located
outside the proposed sand receiver site and would not be impacted by sand replenishment. No additional
access points or structures exist within the vicinity of the proposed receiver site, and no impacts would
occur upon implementation of Alternative 1.
Mission Beach
The access stairs are incorporated into the boardwalk and are landward of the proposed receiver site.
Beach access via these stairs would not be impacted, and access to the boardwalk itself would not be
affected.
Lifeguard Towers Nos.16 and 17 are seasonal towers that are removed from the beach the last weekend
in October. If replenishment occurs while the towers are in place, SANDAG would coordinate with the
City of San Diego to temporarily relocate them out of the receiver site until after replenishment is
completed. Refer to Section 4.9 for public health and safety issues.
