Orange County proposes extending rock revetment to protect tracks along seven miles of San Clemente beach
Orange County transit officials have proposed adding more boulder seawalls to better protect what is the only railroad link to San Diego along seven miles of the coast between San Clemente and Dana Point.
The work at San Clemente has been expedited by a temporary state of emergency declared by the Orange County agency, the fourth local emergency since September 2021 because of the landslide at San Clemente. “With this Band-Aid approach of repeated emergencies we can only focus on 700 feet of track ,” he said. “Now they are talking about potentially armoring the entire length” of the seven miles between San Clemente and Dana Point.
Seawalls, soldier piles and other stabilization work have been completed on the bluffs in Del Mar, and more is planned with the understanding that the coastal structures will be removed when the alternate route through an inland tunnel is built at a cost estimated at more than $4 billion.
