  • 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.

  • Adopt-A-Beach Packet Final
    The Adopt-A-Beach Program The Adopt-A-Beach Program is a statewide educational program coordinated by the California Coastal Commission. In San Diego County, this program is locally managed by I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD). To “adopt” a beach, volunteers agree to clean their beach at least three times over one year (school groups need only to commit to one cleanup). This program provides a unique opportunity for volunteers of all ages to be part of the solution to marine pollution. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3… Check out the attached list of local beaches you can adopt. ILACSD will help you determine days and times for your cleanups, provide you with supplies and help arrange for trash and recycling pick-up. Recruit friends, co-workers, classmates and rela- tives to get involved in your beach cleanup. The more people you have cleaning, the more debris you can remove from the beach, saving animals from becoming entangled or injured. Clean your beach! Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, a hat, sunscreen and closed-toe shoes. Pick up trash & recyclables (e.g. bottles, cans, clean paper). And most importantly, have fun! The Adopt-A-Beach Program By adopting a beach, you will... Reduce ocean pollution Protect marine life Have fun & make a difference Want to learn more? I Love A Clean San Diego offers free presentations to groups adopting a beach.

    APPENDIX A Priority and Highest Priority Water Quality Condition Selection Methodology Intentionally Left Blank Los Peñasquitos WMA Water Quality Improvement Plan and Comprehensive Load Reduction Plan Appendix A – Priority and Highest Priority Water Quality Condition Selection Methodology March 2015 - DRAFT APPENDIX A – Methodology for Selecting Priority and Highest Priority Water Quality Conditions The methodology to select the priority and highest priority water quality conditions follows four steps. Step 1: Determine Receiving Water Conditions (Permit B.2.a). The goal of the receiving water assessment is to determine the receiving water conditions in the watershed. Some receiving water conditions may be selected as priority water quality conditions if there is sufficient data showing that the MS4 is causing and contributing to the receiving water condition or if it is suspected that the MS4 may be causing and contributing but there is a gap in the data. a. Information and data to evaluate receiving waters conditions includes: i. TMDLs; ii. 303(d) listings to determine impaired beneficial uses; iii. Sources that are provided as part of the 303(d) listing. (This is important if the 303(d) listing has called out the MS4 as a source); iv. RW limits for appropriate segments; v. Historic and current data from the LTEA and WURMP. (Associate a NPDES monitoring location with each watershed when available. The priorities listed by these documents exceed water quality benchmarks.); and vi. 3rd party data submitted in response to public data call. b. Determine a receiving water condition based on the following criteria: i. TMDLs in the watershed applied upstream where appropriate; ii.

  • Interventions: Coastal Strategies to Resist, Retreat, and Adapt
    Interventions: Coastal Strategies to Resist, Retreat, and Adapt A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in the school of Architecture & Interior Design in the College of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning by Hannan Al-Timimi, B.A. in Urban Studies and Planning University of California San Diego Committee Chair: Edward Mitchell, MArch Committee Member: Vincent Sansalone, MArch Abstract: Rising sea levels caused by the warming of ocean waters, and freshwater from melting ice sheets threaten the California coast. If the global warming trend continues, about two-thirds of Southern California beaches would disappear.1 There are three possible solutions for endangered communities – retreat, resist, or adapt. This project will examine a combination of techniques that exist and are nonexistent on Beach-Barber Tract, one of La Jolla’s sixteen neighborhoods but could be implemented into Fiesta Island’s, Mission Bay Park. The proposition is that a combination of existing building solutions might be adapted. Those include walled courtyards varying from residential to civic scale, buildings raised on stilts or piloti, landscape- based solutions and hybrids between built form and landscape, including mat buildings. The mat building might be thought of as a constructed sponge, able to absorb storm surge and both accommodate existing use patterns and offer alternative use of urban space. Case studies of architectural and landscape techniques will support the design thesis and a range of types and urban organizations will be roughly calibrated to anticipate future storms. The proposal will provide both a theoretical and practical set of projections to redesign a more resilient coastal community.

  • 22Nd in Beachwater Quality 10% of Samples Exceeded National Standards in 2010
    CALIFORNIA† See Additional Information About California’s Beach Data Management 22nd in Beachwater Quality 10% of samples exceeded national standards in 2010 Polluted urban and suburban runoff is a major threat to water quality at the nation’s coastal beaches. Runoff from storms and irrigation carries pollution from parking lots, yards, and streets directly to waterways. In some parts of the country, stormwater routinely causes overflows from sewage systems. Innovative solutions known as green infrastructure enable communities to naturally absorb or use runoff before it causes problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is modernizing its national rules for sources of runoff pollution and should develop strong, green infrastructure-based requirements. California has more than 500 miles of coastal beaches, spread among over 400 beaches along the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay coastline. The California Department of Health Services administers the BEACH Act grant. Current approved methods for determining fecal indicator bacteria counts in beachwater depend on growth of cultures in samples and take at least 24 hours to process. Because of this, swimmers do not know until the next day if the water they swam in was contaminated. Likewise, beaches may be left closed even after water quality meets standards. There is a great deal of interest in technologies that can provide same-day beachwater quality results. During the 2010 beach season, researchers funded by the California State Water Board and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act tested a rapid method called quantitative polymerase chain reaction, or qPCR, at nine sampling locations in Orange County five days a week.
