9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located on the ocean front within the Town limits of Long Beach.
A series of erosion events over the past several years have resulted in a
significant loss of dune protection along the ocean front. The Town has
acquired a permit for the authorization of beach bulldozing within the Town
limits under the Town's supervision. "Dunes" have been formed along the beach
front. A recent visual survey of the project area revealed that the western
end of one beach has experienced a greater recovery of lost sand than has the
eastern end. There is an existing minor escarpment which has formed along the
beach. At the western end this feature is located several 10's of feet
oceanward of the toe of the "dune". The further east one travels the closed to
the toe this feature is located. At the eastern unit of the project the
escarpment is right at the toe of the "dune". There are also several ` areas,
within the project boundaries, where "wash-outs" have occurred where no
bulldozing has been .carried out. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are
classified as SB by the Division of Environmental Management.
The applicants propose to construct a series of sand fences along the beach
front and bulldoze up mounds of sand within the fencing. The fences will be
set on 15' centers and will angle back at approximately 300 . Each fence will
be approximately 16-18' long and will be set on 3 posts. Approximately every
50' sand will be pushed up into a mound. Between approximately 10 to 12 cubic
yards will be within within each mound. Vegetative plantings up will be
carried out if deemed necessary.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The addition of the sand fencing to the beach front could possibly become a
barricade to nesting sea turtles. However, the 15' break between the ends of
the structure and the angles at which the fences are installed appears to
minimize that possibility. If the project works as proposed and the beach
becomes stabilized the ultimate result may be that more nesting habitat becomes
available for the turtles. . All sand pushing should be in accordance with
existing procedures.
