Introduction MANAGING ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN A SENSITIVE COASTAL AREA Mel Willis McClelland Engineers, Inc. 2140 Eastman Avenue Ventura. CA 93003 This paper traces the efforts of Santa Barbara County to develop a workable plan for a sensitive coastal dune-wetland complex and its subsequent use to regulate the siting and design of major energy devel opment projects. An important feature of this paper is a description of the process followed by Santa Barbara County to develop an energy facility siting management plan for the dune-wetland system and the effect this plan had on subsequent project siting and design. In 1977, eight years after the infamous Santa Barbara Channel oil spill, the County of Santa Barbara began a planning effort that would take five years to complete — the preparation of a local coastal program, a component of the California Coastal Management Program. Because the coastal aroa onshore and offshore Santa Barbara County continues to be a major oil producing aroa, the issue of coastal energy development was a major consideration in the preparation of the Santa Barbara County Local Coastal Program. The Nipomo Dunes, lying within northern Santa Barbara County and southern San Luis Obispo County, are a portion of the largest remaining coastal dune-wetland complex in California. Recognizing that Its ecological and scenic values are of national significance, tho U.S. Dopartmcnt of the Interior designated this area a National Natural Landmark. The Santa Barbara County Local Coastal Program designated the portion of the Nipomo Dunes within its jurisdiction — tho Mussel Rock Dunes — an environmentally sensitive habitat area. 531
