SAND COMPATIBILITY & OPPORTUNISTIC USE PROGRAM
The Sand Compatibility and Opportunistic Use Program (SCOUP) aims to increase the resilience of vulnerable coastal areas by streamlining environmental review and regulatory approval for relatively small beach nourishment projects (typically up to 150,000 cubic yards per year) that use opportunistically available sand sources, such as those generated from upland land development or redevelopment projects, harbor maintenance dredging projects, and flood control maintenance operations.
The L.A. County SCOUP includes five receiver sites: Zuma Beach, Will Rogers State Beach, Dockweiler State Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach.
