San Onofre Beach study

A study was funded in January 1985 to monitor the reintegration into the Oceanside littoral cell of approximately 600,000 m of sand, released upon the removal of the construction laydown pad on the beach seaward of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. (SONGS) at San Onofre, California. The study examined historical aerial and subaerial survey data as well as initiating a baseline data collection effort consisting of benchmark establishment, subaerial surveys, offshore bathymetry and reference roe installation and measurement. This work will be the oasis for a proposed two-year program to study the long-term effects of the laydown pad reintegration at SONGS.
