1 Los Angeles District and South Pacific Division CERB June 4, 2009 Technical Tools for Regional Sediment Management Susan Ming – USACE, Los Angeles District Clifton Davenport – CSMW/CA Geological Survey

2 Los Angeles District and South Pacific Division CERB June 4, 2009 A “SUPER-REGIONAL” APPROACH

3 Los Angeles District and South Pacific Division CERB June 4, 2009 ROAD TO SOLUTIONS Urbanization of Watershed Dam Sand held in place by future urbanization is compensated through projects or fees. Less Beach Erosion Beach replenished with sand dredged from offshore or transported from inland projects. Harbor Sand Trapped by Harbor Structures Sand from harbors placed on beaches in need. Sand and Gravel Mining Sand loss compensated through projects or fees. Ocean Sediment Trapped Behind Dams and Debris Basins Regional Sediment (Sand) Management Mining moved out of river. More sand transported to coast. More Sand Reaching Coast Sediment excavated and bypassed downstream. Reservoir

15 CERB June 4, 2009 Wetlands, CZB and Sea Level Rise 2100 (PRI)

16 CERB June 4, 2009

17 Receiver site ranking and selection Acceptable methods of characterizing beach and source sands; Environmentally-responsible use of both optimum and less-than- optimum materials; Appropriate placement techniques; and Permitting needs of local governments and permitting agencies. SAND COMPATIBILITY AND OPPORTUNISTIC USE PROGRAM (SCOUP)

18 CERB June 4, 2009 SCOUP Receiver Site Evaluation Matrix Pre-permitted opportunistic programs SCOUP 1 and 2 Southern Monterey Bay

19 CERB June 4, 2009 Coastal Sediment Benefit Analysis Tool (CSBAT) A GIS-based management support tool for decision makers to evaluate future dredging and disposal options along the coast. Sources – harbors, dams, inland, offshore Tool looks at recreation benefits and costs of transporting sediment to various locations. Santa Barbara, Ventura, Monterey and San Diego Counties
