The Huntington Beach City Council March 21 approved a proposal, in conjunction with the state’s Division of Boating and Waterways, to begin a long-overdue sand replenishing project stretching from Anaheim Bay Harbor to Newport Bay in Orange County.

The work—known as the Orange County Beach Erosion Control Project—includes replenishing Surfside-Sunset Beach with 1.75 million cubic yards of sand  and 100,000 cubic yards for the city of Newport Beach.
