January 2025 Seawall Project

Duncan Engineering will be in the water in January to begin the design and construction documents for an estimated 3,095 linear feet of seawall footings and foundation areas identified to be addressed over the next five years.

The plan is to take design level measurements of all the at risk foundation areas identified on the 2 monitoring report plan sheets below. This covers approx 95 to 105 locations. This will lead to prioritizing, cost estimating and discussions for future Construction Budgets with the City.

(ref. Project approval Oct 15, 2024)

The blue lines on the maps below indicate areas to be included in the inspections in January 2025

The Hemlock Project

The Hemlock construction project is on hold until the Waterboard approves the last permit; permit application was submitted in December 2023. We appreciate the diligence of Public works in keeping us informed and making every effort to expedite the approval.
Construction will go out to bid as soon as the Waterboard approves.

Coastal Commission APPROVED May 10th 2024

Posted May 8, 2024:

The Seawall Project for Hemlock will go before the California Coastal Commission on May 10th 2024

This is the R&D Project that had been fully approved by the Army Corp and Coastal Commission in 2017 & 2018.

In addition to much needed work to be done on Hemlock, this is an important project for gaining valuable information on best practice for projects that will need to be funded for approximately 40% of the 7 miles of seawalls in our development.

In addition to the permit hearing signs posted at the W. Hemlock Street, the City also uploaded the CCC agenda item on the official City of Oxnard Mandalay Bay seawall update website here: https://www.oxnard.gov/public-works/special-districts/mandalay-bay-seawalls
