Beach Sand Replenishment
In an effort to replenish valuable beach sand lost through longshore drift and erosion and maintain beach amenity, while also providing protection of the City’s backshore assets; all qualifying development projects within the city are required to participate in Oceanside’s beach sand replenishment program as part of the City’s Opportunistic Beach Fill Permit (OBFP) issued by the State. This permit allows for the direct placement of sand on the City’s beaches from Seagaze Drive to Pine Street and from Oceanside Boulevard to Loma Alta Creek. It is the City's intent to require development projects that meet the OBFP criteria to deposit excavated sand that is planned for export, directly on the beach through a coordinated effort with the City’s Public Works Department. Please refer to the Beach Replenishment Memo below for further details or contact the Engineering Division at engineeringstaff@oceansideca.org or (760) 435-4373.
Additionally, please visit the Feasibility Study for Beach Sand Replenishment/Retention Devices page for more information about the City's replenishment efforts.
Development projects located west of El Camino Real within City Limits and development projects located within the sphere of influence of the San Luis Rey River and Loma Alta Creek will be required to participate in this program. See the maps below for areas affected by the OBFP.
