Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, Point Loma Quadrangle, California Geological Survey, Revised Official Map, Effective May 1, 2003. No northern boundary to the Active Coronado Fault which is heading towards the project.

Final Children’s Pool Dredging EIR. Findings made by the City of San Diego ". . . an evaluation of the erosion rates is beyond the scope of this study. “ Appendix K, Terra. Costa report, dated March 12, 2009. Page 10. “Removing sand from Casa Beach as part of the project is not expected to accelerate any southward movement of sand within the littoral cell from existing rates, and therefore, would not result in increased erosion on northern beaches or bluffs. ” Page RTC-135. The study need not include quantified evaluation of erosion rates, including computer modeling, to adequately inform analysis of the project’s impacts. Page RTC-136. “Removing sand from Children’s Pool would not create a vacuum or magnet that would pull sand from adjacent beach at a greater rate than under existing conditions. Accordingly, the project-related removal of sand would not accelerate erosion of nearby beaches or coastline. ” Page RTC-101.

Start of Littoral Cell Rose Canyon Fault Zone. Dr. Inman informed the City Council in 1999 that the length of expected erosion is 0. 5 -miles from Children’s Pool to La Jolla Cove. Including cliff erosion and retreat at Scripps Park and Coast Boulevard at Jennings Street.

The Army Corps of Engineers Draft EIR Comments. “During our October 10, 2008 meeting, we encouraged the City to prepare a joint CEQA/NEPA document. . . ” “By not preparing a joint document, the Corps will need to independently explore and evaluate all reasonable alternatives to the proposed action (which may differ from those in the EIR). . . ” “We encourage the City to reconsider its decision to prepare and to finalize a separate EIR and pursue a joint document with the Corps. . . ” "Third party contract" refers to the preparation of an EIS by a contractor paid by the applicant but who is selected and supervised directly by the Corp's Regulatory Division. Therefore, by not pursuing a joint document, the City will need to expend additional monies for the Corps' preparation of an EIS. "

The Army Corps of Engineers Draft EIR Comments. "We have concerns regarding erosion at the Casa Beach site as well as the adjacent pocket beaches and bluffs. . . Would the loss of material at Casa Beach result in an unstable distribution of sand in the Casa Beach area? . . Would the rate of bluff erosion increase at Casa Beach when sand is removed? Due to your anticipated need for ongoing sand removal at Casa Beach, it appears you also anticipate continual replenishment of sand at Casa Beach. What is the source of the replenishment sand? How would the adjacent beaches and bluffs be affected? "
