Broad Beach Wins Truck Route Case
Written by 991KBU on June 13, 2018
Broad Beach has won a legal battle over the route that its thousands of trucks will use to being sand from Ventura County to Malibu.
The California Court of Appeal ruled that their sand relocation project was not subject to California’s main environmental law.
Or … at least the truck route portion of it.
A three-judge panel ruled the Broad Beach Geologic Hazard Abatement District has the right to make a deal with the city of Moorpark … to bring the trucks to Malibu via Fillmore … instead of Moorpark,
Fillmore and Ventura County cried foul … they said the California Environmental Quality Act required a full study and mitigation.
The court tossed that argument out.
Thousands of trucks of sand are still the plan … to truck sand to Broad Beach … staryign as early as this fall.
But there is still a thicket of legal problems remaining … before the sand project can proceed.
The $31 million restoration project is funded by the owners of 212 parcels in the Broad Beach district
They plan to truck 1.2 million cubic yards of sand to Broad Beach to recreate a beach.
