On March 31, OCTA submitted an Emergency Coastal Development Permit to the California Coastal Commission to expedite work to stabilize four areas most vulnerable to failure above the railroad track through San Clemente. This effort allows OCTA to take immediate steps to protect a critical link in the state’s rail network.
The coastal Rail Corridor in southern Orange County is owned by OCTA and operated by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA or Metrolink) and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner for passenger service and by the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) for freight service.
The Orange County Transportation Authority, in coordination with Metrolink, is taking emergency action to stabilize the rail line in north San Clemente. The work is necessary to address urgent threats from slope and beach erosion and to protect the community, rail passengers and overall rail operations.
Coastal Rail Stabilization Requires Emergency Action OCTA submitted an Emergency Coastal Development Permit to quickly stabilize vulnerable areas near the San Clemente track.
The Orange County Maintenance Facility is a rail yard where Metrolink passenger trains will be serviced, cleaned, and housed to help meet long-term public transportation needs by accommodating current and future operations.
San Clemente Rail Closure Update: Thursday, May 1 Crews continue to strategically place riprap to protect the rail line while pursuing options for sand; work moves ahead on schedule
Summary: This project grade separated the local street from railroad tracks by building a bridge for vehicular traffic over the railroad crossing and reconfiguring the intersection of Lakeview Avenue and Orangethorpe Avenue in the cities of Anaheim and Placentia.
Chris Boucly responded that these four stabilization areas came from an initial assessment done in 2023 to look at short- and mid-term solutions to erosion to protect the rail line up to 30 years. There will be another study by the State on longer term solutions for the rail. committee member asked how long the sand placement stays.
Area 3, and Area 4, (shown in Figure 1-1), at risk of slope instability, coastal erosion, and landslide hazards. These four areas are referred to as the Coastal Rail Stabilization Priority Projects (CRSPP), and face imminent threats of further passenger and freight rail service disruptions. Initial site observations were initially conducted and followed by a detailed light detection and ...
