• The Orange County Beach Erosion Control Project is an ongoing Federal (with local cost share) project administered under the authority of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The project has been providing periodic beach nourishment of approximately 1.8 million cubic yards of sand every five years since the 1960s.
The Coastal Rail Infrastructure Resiliency Project targets four locations within a 7-mile coastal section of the OCTA-owned Orange Subdivision. Work includes rock gradation installation, beach sand replenishment, and trail restoration.
About the Project The Orange County Maintenance Facility (OCMF), to be constructed off of Ridge Valley in Irvine, California, will serve as a place to store and service Metrolink trains in Orange County to meet long-term public transportation needs by accommodating current and future operations. The OCMF has been considered by OCTA, Metrolink and the City of Irvine for two decades on this site ...
Recent action (December 2023) by the USACE to nourish the beach with 250,000 cubic yards of sand will supplement the lack of supply to the beach system but is unlikely to affect the overall trajectory of beach erosion in the near term. At the time of this initial assessment, the project is on hold due to poor sand quality from initial loads.
OCTA is pushing forward on studying solutions to protect the vital coastal rail line that connects passengers, freight and military assets from San Diego County to Orange County and important destinations farther north. HDR Engineering Inc. will lead the South Coast Rail Infrastructure Feasibility Study and Alternative Concepts Analysis. The study will bring together technical experts and ...

The sand, fuel, and lubricating fluids used at the facility are all in a designed sealed system. SCAQMD regulates overall regional air quality based on specific criteria pollutants including Ozone, Particulate Matter, Carbon Monoxide, Oxides of Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulfur, Lead, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Recently, OCTA upgraded the Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) and Electronic Access Card System (EACS) at OCTA’s Anaheim, Garden Grove, Irvine Construction Circle, and Irvine Sand Canyon Bus Bases. OCTA utilizes Lenel On-Guard software for electronic card access system for door access control and alarm monitoring of the buildings. The VSS upgrades included installation of megapixel cameras ...
Proposed shoreline protection activities include conducting rip-rap rock repair on existing rock revetments (Areas 1, 2, and 4), installation of a new shoreline protection structure at Area 4, temporary access for construction, and placement of sand for beach nourishment over the existing and new shoreline protection rock and structure.
The total package of projects is estimated to cost approximately $300 million. The project components consist of 95% sand and 5% armoring. The current work in Areas 1 and 2, and site preparation work in Area 3, estimated to cost approximately $10 million, is underway, utilizing an emergency authorization from the California Coastal Commission
