San Clemente Beach Replenishment Program

The San Clemente Beach Replenishment Program is a project approved by the California State Lands Commission on November 7, 2025, involving a 10-year General Lease for Public Agency Use extending through 2035. The program authorizes the City of San Clemente to place up to 200,000 cubic yards of sand from upland sources annually at two primary receiver sites on sovereign land in the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, the project allows for a maximum of 125,000 cubic yards of sand per year at North Beach and a maximum of 75,000 cubic yards per year at Linda Lane Beach, with additional performance areas adjacent to T-Street Beach North and T-Street Beach South. The project is governed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted by the City of San Clemente on October 7, 2003. The State Lands Commission determined that the program will not have a significant environmental effect, provided the established mitigation measures are followed. Administrative identifiers for the program include File Reference 8567, A4919, and SCH 2002081044. The project is managed under NAICS code 237990, with primary points of contact including the City Manager of San Clemente and a Senior Environmental Scientist from the State Lands Commission.
