the various offices concerned and a determination made whether or not 

 continuation of the study is warranted. 



IV. Coordination and Procedure 



The local or state agency responsible for the beach to be studied 

 shall be the appropriate agency to carry out the operational aspects of 

 the study. 



All matters pertaining to the study program which are broad in scope 

 and intent, such as this Memorandum of Understanding, shall be coordinated 

 between the California State Department of Water Resources and the U. S. 

 Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Division, South Pacific. 



The Department will also complete a Memorandum of Understanding with 

 each participating local or state agency. 



A detailed procedure for execution of the program will be coordinated 

 between the appropriate participating agency, the Department of Water 

 Resources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco and Los Angeles 

 District offices, and the Coastal Engineering Research Center. 



Procedures for execution of the program may need periodic adjustment; 

 and in this event, all parties involved will coordinate such changes and 

 establish records thereof so there will be uniformity of understanding. 



General procedures for carrying out the program shall be: 



A. Sites for Observations/Measurements - Representative(s) from the 

 appropriate U. S. Army Corps of Engineers District Office (and CERC,' if 

 deemed necessary) the Department of Water Resources and the appropriate 

 participating agency will confer and select the sites where data will be 

 collected. In selection of sites, consideration will be given to all 

 known factors pertinent to the study. Examples of such factors are: 



(1) the need for the observational data to assist in the planning, design, 

 construction, operation or maintenance of coastal works in the area in 

 question; (2) correlation of the observational data with existing/planned 

 basic data collection programs; (3) general shore conditions, i.e., a vari- 

 ety of shore exposures, orientation, beach configurations, and so forth, 

 are desired; (4) spacing and number of sites in relation to the maximum 

 number of sites that can be handled in the overall program. 



B. Administrative Procedures - Coastal Engineering Research Center 

 will forward to the appropriate participating agency detailed information 

 and/or suggested procedures, forms, photographic film, and to the extent 

 possible, instrumentation for making the field observations or measure- 

 ments. The participating agency will disseminate the materials with 

 appropriate directives to the field personnel. The procured field data 

 will be transmitted to CERC or other designated office for processing. 

 Approximately every six months CERC will provide the Department of Water 

 Resources and the participating agency with tabulations of the collected 

 data.
