4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 HARBOR DESIGN SOLUTIONS Alternative design solutions to the problems surrounding the Of the nine plans reviewed, the last (#9) appears to merit serious consideration for its potential of mitigating the safety hazards and damage problems that result from surge and storm wave action within the harbor breakwater. Its configuration also provides a base for the potential expansion of the harbor at some date in the future, although the Oceanside Harbor District and the City of Oceanside at this time wish to focus entirely on the safety and damage problems that result from existing defective design. Key features of plan (#9) include a 300-foot extension of the north breakwater, a 250-foot stub groin on the south jetty, and removal of the entire north groin, which is submerged and constitutes a navigation hazard. A feature which would be omitted from the requested study at this time is the proposed 2,100 foot inner harbor breakwater which would have as its purpose the formation of an inner sheltered basin for the expansion of recreational facilities. One design advantage deleted by this omission will be the desired separation of military and civilian craft within the harbor, however, this objective is not eliminated and can be achieved at a later date, under the modified plan (#9). 5.0 WORK TO BE DONE 5.1 Considerable work and expense have gone into the studies that are summarized in the 1983 Navigation Study Progress Report. The suggested modifications to the breakwater and jetty contained in the modified plan (#9) are urgently needed in order to protect both civil and military interests at the joint use harbor. Loss of life and injury has impacted both civilians and military personnel who use the harbor facilities. It is therefore the contention of the Oceanside Harbor District and the City of Oceanside that the feasibility study should be completed as soon as possible so that necessary design modifications can be made to both military and civilian facilities that constitute the protection of the joint use harbor. 5.2 Work remaining to be completed under the feasibility study phase of this proposed Navigation project is minimal. It includes confirmation and updating of existing studies, additional environmental analysis and a full environmental assessment, and presentation of findings to the public and to appropriate local, state and federal agencies for comment. We believe this work can be accomplished during FY87 within the recommended appropriation of $110,000. 6.1.1 6.1.2 INJURIES AND DEATHS CASE HISTORIES AT OCEANSIDE HARBOR On November 21, 1983, two young Marines from Camp the breakwater between Parrish never made it to body was recovered two Waves On Sunday, February 13, 1983 at about 3:30 a... the |
