The proposed project fulfills special condition 2.D of Coastal Development Permit No. 4-14-0687 involving the periodic maintenance of beach sand cover over any exposed portions of an existing rock revetment to protect Goleta Beach Park facilities, maintain coastal access, and provide aesthetically-pleasing beach conditions. Use of sand from the beach berm at Goleta Slough Mouth is not permitted at this time; therefore, sand for this project will be imported from approved sources. The primary approved sand source and plan is to obtain 6,000 cubic yards (cy) of beach-compatible sand from Santa Barbara Harbor/West Beach and transport it to Parking Lot #6 at Goleta Beach Park. The sand will be stockpiled at this site and any overflow will occur within Parking Lot #7. Each maintenance event will be limited to 1,000 cy of sand and will involve moving sand from the stockpile to cover exposed sections of the revetment. A total of 0.08 acres of CDFW jurisdiction consisting of sand will be impacted through implementation of this project.
