SAN CLEMENTE — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) returned to San Clemente Oct. 28, 2024, to complete the first phase of the sand replenishment project between T-Street and Linda Lane beaches. Earlier this year, 114,000 cubic yards of sand were delivered as part of the project, and the contractor will now place the remaining 86,000 cubic yards. This USACE initiative is a 50-year project, scheduled to take place approximately every five years, with each phase placing 200,000 cubic yards of sand.
Similar to earlier construction activities, the public can expect to see dredge pipelines placed on the beach south of the pier, along with materials such as pipeline segments and sand-moving equipment stored on site. Temporary construction staging will be located in the upper pier bowl parking lot. To ensure public safety, small sections of the beach will be closed during active sand placement operations.

The city of San Clemente extends its gratitude to the community for its continued support and cooperation as efforts to restore their beaches continue.
