Army Corp of Engineers Beach Replenishment Update

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract to Weeks Marine Inc. to construct the Northern Ocean County dune and berm system. The Lavallette section is scheduled for Spring of 2018 timeframe

Army Corps update on Northern Ocean County dune project
PHILADELPHIA (July 13, 2018) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District began dredging and beachfill operations at Ortley Beach in Toms River Township on July 12th. The work is part of the 14 mile beachfill and dune construction along the Barnegat Peninsula. The project is a joint effort of the Army Corps’ Philadelphia District and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and is designed to reduce coastal storm damages. During beachfill operations on July 12th, the project team observed a darker material being pumped onto the beach. The team initiated a geotechnical investigation to better understand the situation. It appears the dredge hit a peat layer in the offshore borrow area. Peat is a naturally occurring material and is typically a combination of ancient soil and vegetative materials. Though undesirable and a nuisance in a beachfill operation, they are sometimes encountered during the dredging process. Read More Pdf File
