San Elijo Lagoon:
We will start the annual dredging of San Elijo Lagoon next week, headed up by the Nature Collective, City of Encinitas, and California State Parks. The dredging schedule will start on May 17, 2023, to May 25, 2023, during regular construction hours. No dredging activity will occur on the weekends. All dredging will end at the end of business day, Thursday, May 25, 2023, so as not to impact the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend beach schedule. The haul route for heavy equipment will occur along the beach and on the westerly lane of S. Coast Highway 101 from the inlet of the Lagoon out to the beach, and then head directly south beyond Pacific Coast Grill and Chart House restaurants to the Cardiff Living Shoreline project. It is anticipated that about 10,000 cubic yards of beach compatible sand sediment from the inlet will be removed and placed at the toe of the Cardiff Living Shoreline dune system. Most, if not all, of the dune toe will be reconstructed, rebuilding the “sacrificial zone” that was removed this past winter season from the storms. City, State and Nature Collective staff will be present during the dredging activities on-site and along the haul route. For questions please contact:
