Orange County Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan It is important to note that this structure may be updated as experience is gained with sand management in the Orange County sedimentsheds. The JPA may also find, like SANDAG and BEACON, that one or more technical staff members may be desired to help local agencies to implement particular projects which require special capabilities in coastal engineering, construction contract administration, and/or monitoring Implementation Implementation of this Plan means activation of the JPA’s role to coordinate information and funding between the various levels of government and to solicit grant funding for various shoreline enhancement projects. In order for the Plan to be considered when coastal RSM activities are being planned or implemented, the JPA should promote referencing of the Plan in individual LCPs or Land Use Plans. The JPA could pursue implementation of the Plan by requesting that the local office of the CCC begin requiring all coastal RSM projects in Orange County be consistent with the Plan by beneficially re-using surplus sediment for nourishment. The JPA should coordinate with all local agencies (city and county level) to pursue consistency with specific activities of the Plan in their zoning ordinances and municipal codes in their general plans. For example, any project component that requires a grading permit would be asked to show how that project could beneficially use surplus sediment (if it has the appropriate quality for nourishment purposes) within the coastal zone rather than for other purposes (such as construction materials or nourishment). Input from partner cities and counties would be received by the committee, which would then make recommendations to the JPA board of directors. Long-Term Outreach and Dissemination In order for the JPA to coordinate with the local and regional jurisdictions and special districts to implement the Plan, a long-term outreach program should be established. The JPA should develop existing resources including contact lists to provide a focused outreach campaign to encourage discussion amongst the relevant agencies and stakeholder groups. Public meetings should also be convened as appropriate in which the JPA should seek public input and consensus to guide the implementation of the recommended actions in the Plan. This Plan should also be supported through publication of brochures, fact sheets, and provision of information on the JPA and CSMW web pages. 4.3 Establish County Staff Position to Implement the Plan Coastal RSM implementation demands professional and vigilant attention to work with the multitude of involved stakeholders, including local, state, and federal agencies. Coastal programs and issues are currently administered by the County of Orange via a structure that is sometimes divided between the OC Parks, OC Watersheds, and Public Works staff. The lack of Everest International Consultants, Inc. 4.5
Orange County Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan a single and clear administrative voice hinders the County’s ability to effectively respond to short term and long range planning issues. This activity would be to either empower existing staff or create a new position within the County of Orange to be dedicated to short term and long range coastal RSM issues that are relevant to implementation of the Plan. The position would be responsible for collaboration with local, state, and federal resource and regulatory agencies as well as stakeholders to address funding needs, activity implementation, Plan implementation, and long term coastal RSM strategy and planning. 4.4 San Clemente Shoreline Project This activity would be to support progress of the San Clemente Shoreline Project. The City of San Clemente and USACE have entered into a cost sharing agreement and a feasibility study and EIS for the project is available (Chambers Group, Inc., 2011). The purpose of the project is to provide the most technically feasible and economically beneficial plan for reducing shoreline erosion and protecting coastal infrastructure from storm-induced wave attack along the San Clemente, California shoreline. A Chief of Engineers report was issued in April 2012 and has been finalized by the Secretary of the Army and transmitted to Congress. Supporting this project could involve developing partnerships with other adjoining jurisdictions to leverage funding and would likely require continued funding of local portions of the project cost. Additionally, local jurisdictions can add this issue to their legislative platform, submit letters of support to grantees, assist lobbying state and federal sources, write letters to lobby DBAW, and continue to inform the public of their role in the project. 4.5 Dana Point Harbor Dredging and Nearby Nourishment This activity would be to support and encourage the ongoing beneficial beach nourishment resulting from maintenance dredging at Dana Point Harbor. The County of Orange and Dana Point Harbor Department recently completed maintenance dredging of less than 114,000 yd 3 of material from Dana Point Harbor with beach nourishment of approximately 9,500 yd 3 at Baby Beach and 48,000 yd 3 at Capistrano County Beach (USACE, 2007b; CCC, 2007; USACE, 2008). The remaining dredged material was disposed at the LA-3 ODMDS. The historical average dredging rate within Dana Point Harbor is 48,000 yd 3 per project executed every nine years (Moffatt & Nichol, 2009b) and the previous project in 2000 also nourished Baby Beach and Capistrano County Beach. In addition to Baby Beach and Capistrano County Beach, nourishment at Doheny State Beach may be desirable to offset beach narrowing at this location. It is safe to assume that Dana Point Harbor will continue to require maintenance dredging in the future and beneficial use of this material is an integral component of coastal RSM. In addition to widening Capistrano County Beach, the nourishment at this location serves as a feeder beach to the BECA at San Clemente City Beach. Placing suitable dredged material on nearby Everest International Consultants, Inc. 4.6
