Littoral cell definition and budgets for central southern England. Journal of Coastal Research, 11(2),381-400. Fort Lauderdale (Florida), ISSN 0749­ ,tllllllll,.e 0208. Differentiation of natural process units is promoted as a means of better understanding the interconnected . ~ ~ - nature of coastal systems at various scales. This paper presents a new holistic methodology for the f!13Il-.-.; a:: it: identification of littoral cells. Testing is undertaken through application to an extensive region of central ... bJLt southern England. Diverse sources of information are compiled to map 8. detailed series of local sediment circulations both at the shoreline and in the offshore zone. Cells and sub-cells are subsequently defined by thorough examination of the continuity of sediment transport pathways and by identification of boundaries where there are discontinuities. Important distinctions are made between the nature and stability of different boundaries and a classification of types is devised. Application of sediment budget analysis to major process units helps to clarify the regional significance of different sediment sources, stores and sinks. Within the study area, it is shown that sediments circulate from distinct eroding cliff sources to well defined sinks. Natural beaches are transient and dependent upon the continued functioning of supply pathways from cliff sources. Relict cells with residual circulations are identified as a consequence of interference.

This in turn becomes a valid basis for decisions by public bodies as well as private enterprise. Such a pro­ cedure is vitally needed in our rapidly changing environment. The General Plan I is a study of the ever changing pattern of Monterey County --a mirror in which to review the past, to comprehend the present, and to contemplate the future, This plan reflects years of research and study as well as many other reports such as I the continuing Facts and Figures, Recreation in Monterey County, Beach Acqui­ sition, and other plans which are shown as separate documents h~cause of the volume of material. I The size of Monterey County, its variety of climate, vegetation, and land forms make it imperative that only large land uses or broad proposals be used to portray geographically the objectives desired for the future development of the County. I Accordingly, in addition to the maps, greater emphasis in the General Plan is placed on the text which conveys in words the objectives as well as the princi­ ples and standards recommended to make them effective.

Additionally, based on federal and state laws as well as the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) guidance, access to archaeological reports is only avail- able to archaeological professionals who meet the Secretary of the Interior Standards for an archaeological professional (36 CFR 61). The Extended Phase I/Limited Phase II Archaeological Investiga- tion at CA-SBA-1203 within the Village at Los Carneros Project, City of Goleta, California is available from the City of Goleta upon request and verification of archaeological credentials. A CULTURAL RESOURCE OVERVIEW AND ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS AS A RESULT OF THE PROPOSED VILLAGE AT LOS CARNEROS RESIDENTIAL PROJECT DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF GOLETA, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA by, Jeanette A. McKenna, Principal McKenna et al., Whittier CA INTRODUCTION The proposed development of the Village at Los Carneros in the City of Goleta, Santa Barbara County, California, is a 43.13 acre development being addressed in an Envi- ronmental Impact Report (EIR) being prepared by Envicom Corporation, Agoura Hills, California. McKenna et al. (Appendix A), under contract to Envicom Corporation, has prepared the following cultural resources investigation in support of this EIR. The re- search has been conducted for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, and the local City of Goleta guidelines for assessing the significance of cultural resources and potential impacts to cultural resources as a result of improve- ments, development, or redevelopment. The City of Goleta is serving as the Lead Agency for CEQA compliance.

  • 4.0 Potential Coastal Receiver Areas
    4.0 POTENTIAL COASTAL RECEIVER AREAS The San Diego shoreline, including the beaches, bluffs, bays, and estuaries, is a significant environmental and recreational resource. It is an integral component of the area’s ecosystem and is interconnected with the nearshore ocean environment, coastal lagoons, wetland habitats, and upstream watersheds. The beaches are also a valuable economic resource and key part of the region’s positive image and overall quality of life. The shoreline consists primarily of narrow beaches backed by steep sea cliffs. In present times, the coastline is erosional except for localized and short-lived accretion due to historic nourishment activities. The beaches and cliffs have been eroding for thousands of years caused by ocean waves and rising sea levels which continue to aggravate this erosion. Episodic and site- specific coastal retreat, such as bluff collapse, is inevitable, although some coastal areas have remained stable for many years. In recent times, this erosion has been accelerated by urban development. The natural supply of sand to the region’s beaches has been significantly diminished by flood control structures, dams, siltation basins, removal of sand and gravel through mining operations, harbor construction, increased wave energy since the late 1970s, and the creation of impervious surfaces associated with urbanization and development. With more development, the region’s beaches will continue to lose more sand and suffer increased erosion, thereby reducing, and possibly eliminating their physical, resource and economic benefits. The State of the Coast Report, San Diego Region (USACE 1991) evaluated the natural and man- made coastal processes within the region. This document stated that during the next 50 years, the San Diego region “…is on a collision course.
