| Sloat Erosion Site: June 1987 Before the Oceanside Treatment Plant and Lake Merced Tunnel infrastructure. |
Greetings Surfriders,
If you haven't done so already, please sign our new petition to restore Sloat.
SF Planning Commission is due to vote on the LCP amendment
for Sloat on June 8th. Please
attend the hearing and comment if you can!
The address is 1650 Mission St. Ste 400
While the current version of the LCP amendment is not
fatally flawed, it does have major room for improvement.
Surfrider is particularly concerned that the document does
not recognize and build off of erosion management rules that are already on the
books at the Coastal Commission. We
specifically cite the 1986 SF Ocean Beach Beach Nourishment Plan document.
The LCP amendment could also be improved by:
·
Clarifying what constitutes an erosion emergency
that allows hard armoring such as rock.
·
Stating a clear preference of using soft
solutions such as sand over rock armor in the case of emergencies.
·
When hard armoring is used in an emergency,
require a deadline for its removal and replacement by sand dunes.
·
Prohibiting the rejection of sand dune
nourishment and/or managed retreat solutions for erosion based on cost alone.
If you cannot make the June 8th hearing, please
send your comment letters to:
