(Improvements for 50 year Design Life)

4 Soil Cement Buttress 11 th Street in 1998 New Drainage Outfall

5 Del Mar Bluffs Geotechnical Study NCTD Prioritized areas in need of stabilization Presented full range of stabilization alternatives Del Mar City Council Review - May 2001 Approved by NCTD Board in July 2001 after incorporating City Review comments Erosion rates up to 6 per year and episodic

6 Stabilization Alternatives Considered 1. Maintain and Improve drainage Repair culverts and drainage swales Add sub-drains and hydro-augers 2. Landslide warning system until funds available for stabilization 3. Bluff stabilization with; Soldier Piles Soil cement buttress Soil nails Sea walls
