That was in large part because of the sand placed there in the 1960s during the build-out of the nearby harbor.<\/p>\n<p>Storms in 2018 and 2020 battered the small stretch of beach, collapsing a popular basketball court and wooden walkway and damaging a restroom building beyond repair.<\/p>\n<p>Some people believe the area\u2019s challenges offer a glimpse into the future when sea levels rise is expected to push the ocean toward homes, roadways and the infrastructure that lines the coast. How the county addresses the erosion now could serve as a blueprint for other coastal towns facing similar troubles.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Already in 2023, 45,000 cubic yards of sand were replenished. The following year, 20,000 cubic yards were placed along a 550-foot stretch at the northern reach of Capo Beach.<\/p>\n<p>For those projects, sand was scooped out of the Santa Ana River and trucked to Capistrano Beach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy hope is that we take sand from our nature-based areas, from the rivers and creeks, and we use that sand that is flowing from the mountains to the ocean, as nature intended,\u201d Foley said.<\/p>\n<p>The project didn\u2019t happen last year, and it shows, with cobblestone covering the beach and the sand cut away up to a pedestrian bike path.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This year, there wasn\u2019t enough of a surplus in the Santa Ana River, so the county used the quarry in San Juan Capistrano instead, after the company was selected following a bid process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s sticky, clean, it\u2019s really nice sand,\u201d Foley said.<\/p>\n<p>Another area the county has been exploring is the Prado Dam, which has extra sand it is trying to get rid of, but hauling it away would be no easy task.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=5432\">Small study hints that revving up immune cells might help fight HIV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A roundtable with UC Irvine students researching the issue recently yielded some ideas, including one Foley said she would like to explore that would take the sand by rail to Long Beach, then load it onto a barge to bring it down to South Orange County. It should be less expensive than dredging the sand offshore of Surfside Beach, which has been a common source, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll options are on the table at this point, we\u2019re just trying to find out what\u2019s the least expensive way to get sand on the beaches,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>A South Orange County Beach Coalition was created earlier this year, tasked with exploring sand management solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy expectation is that we have an annual replenishment. Only when we have an annual replenishment will we be able to set the width of the beach,\u201d Foley said.<\/p>\n<p>Following previous sand replenishment projects, UCI analysis indicates a sand bar has formed offshore, helping waves to break before reaching the shoreline, which helps retain the beach because waves are not breaking directly on the sand and pulling the sand offshore.<\/p>\n<p>The replenishment projects are the early stages of a Nature-Based Shoreline Adaptation Project that will include creating a 1,150-foot system of vegetated sand dunes over a cobble berm between Doheny State Beach to the north and Capo Beach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been known to help in other areas, in Oxnard and Ventura, and we hope that we can be another good example of how nature-based solutions, combined with sand replenishment, help to replenish our beaches,\u201d Foley said.<\/p>\n<p>The county held several community meetings and gained necessary approvals in 2022 for the $16 million project.<\/p>\n<p>About $10 million in federal funding is earmarked for the project, and the county has been awaiting word on a grant request from the state\u2019s Prop. 4, a climate bond approved by voters in 2024, which earmarks funds for \u201cliving shorelines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The county\u2019s beach coalition is working now to create a sand Index, similar to the county\u2019s pavement management Index used to determine which areas need to fix roads or fill potholes, Foley said.<\/p>\n<p>Beaches will be measured and information gathered on previous nourishment projects so that regular management can happen. The coalition\u2019s next meeting is in August.<\/p>\n<p>Construction activities for the current sand replenishment project may temporarily limit public access to specific beach areas. Flaggers will direct pedestrians and cyclists around the work area, officials said. Work will not happen on weekends or holidays.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=5430\">Israeli bulldozers raze about 50 Palestinian shops ahead of settlement-linked road project<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the third project to get underway in recent years to try and salvage the eroded beach in Dana Point. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4880,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-facts","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
