LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION:
The Project area is along the Southern California coastline and shares a border with San Diego County to the south in the city of San Clemente. Loss of shore protection and recreational beach width and damages to coastal residential and commercial properties from storm-induced waves are a severe threat. There is a great potential impact on a major transportation rail artery between Los Angeles and San Diego. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), Amtrak, and Metrolink commuter rail commute over 100,000 passengers per day and is located approximately 25-feet from the shore. Damages to coastal residential and commercial properties from storm-induced waves have become a serious threat over the past several years.
