Description

The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (District) is in the process of developing the execution plan for the beach renourishment at Long Branch, NJ. The project will include the dredging of sand from a designated borrow area, the Sea Bri ght Borrow Area, off shore of Sandy Hook, NJ and the placement of that sand along the Long Branch shoreline.

The material (beach fill) will be p laced north of Lake Takanassee and South of Seven Presidents Park in Long Branch, NJ. This involves the hydraulic beach fill placement of sand along the Long Branch, N.J. shoreline. Dozers will be used to spread the sand along the shoreline acc ording to design requirements.
