Project History
On November 20, 2011 an approximately 400-foot section of the Paseo Del Mar roadway collapsed along the coast in the community of San Pedro
Proposed VAPP Project Scoping Presentation

5. Project Description
The primary objective of the proposed project is to restore access along Paseo Del Mar.
The proposed project would restore the section of the Paseo Del Mar roadway that collapsed in the November landslide event to its original function.
Four alternatives have been evaluated for environmental impacts.

6. No Project Alternative
Required under CEQA to allow decision makers to compare the impacts of approving the project with the impacts of not approving the project.
No construction activities would occur.
The damaged segment of Paseo Del Mar would remain closed.

7. Alt. 1 – Bridge Spanning Over Landslide
Construct single, approximately 380-foot long- span bridge supported on stable ground outside the limits of the landslide area.
Limits major earthwork & remediation of existing landslide area.

8. Alt. 2 – Anchored CIDH Piles with Buttress
Includes a single row of large diameter, Cast-in-Drilled Holes (CIDH) piles near the edge of the existing slope.
Piles would connect with a reinforced-concrete grade beam & tied back with soil anchors. Reinforced-earth buttress above the piles would stabilize the head scarp & support new roadway.

9. Alt. 3 – Shear Pins with MSE Wall
Similar to Alt. 2, however a row of large diameter piles & a grid of smaller diameter piles would be constructed below the proposed roadway.
The piles would handle the vertical loading of the Mechanically Stabilized Embankment (MSE) wall & mitigate lateral forces on the existing slope.

10. Dismissed Alternative - Roadway Realignment
The Initial Study and Notice of Preparation included the Roadway Realignment Alternative, which would realign the Paseo Del Mar roadway into the White Point Nature Preserve.
During the environmental analysis, it was determined that this alternative would increase significant impacts to biological resources, cultural resources, and recreation.
Due to public input received during the scoping process and the increased impacts, this alternative was eliminated from further analysis.

16. Comparison of Alternatives
Jan Green Rebstock
11/11/2018
Comparison of Alternatives
No Project Alternative:
Significant and unavoidable impacts to four issue areas, including aesthetics, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, and land use and planning.
Alternative 1:
One significant and unavoidable environmental impact related to construction noise, which is a temporary impact.
Fewest environmental impacts overall, and no permanent environmental impacts.
Environmentally superior alternative.
Alternatives 2 and 3:
Similar impacts to each other.
Both Alternatives 2 and 3 would result in two significant and unavoidable impacts: aesthetics (permanent impacts) and construction noise (temporary impact).
Fewer significant impacts than the No Project Alternative.
