UPDATE

BEACH NOURISHMENT

August 27, 2009

Beach nourishment operations have been suspended due to an equipment failure.   Once the equipment has been restored, pumping operations will resume.  Due to the impending tropical storm Danny, it is likely that pumping operations will once again be suspended; the duration of the suspension will be dependent on the severity and length of the storm.

Beach nourishment operations have been completed in the north end of the City and has moved downtown from 40^th to 52^nd streets. 

Once operations are resumed, it is a 24/7 operation.  The sand will be conveyed via the pipeline which extends from the dredge in Corson’s Inlet to the area of the fill.  The pipe will eventually extend all the way to 52^nd Street.  Once the beach nourishment is complete, it will take several days to dismantle the pipeline.  All beaches will remain open during the project with the exception of about four to six blocks in the area of the fill.  As the fill moves to the South, the beach behind the fill will be reopened and the beaches in front of the fill will be closed.

Questions regarding the project can be directed to Sea Isle City Director of Public Works, John Manganaro, 609-263-6000 X 3 or email at jmanganaro@seaislecitynj.us.

Thank you!
