Eroding Orange County beaches are getting millions of dollars for sand replenishment thanks to a funding request that passed in the U.S. House of Representatives last week.

Introduced by Rep. Michelle Steel (R-Calif.), the funding bill will provide $15.5 million for the Surfside-Sunset & Newport Beach Replenishment Project, as part of a larger spending bill signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 15.
