The berm elevation is +10.0 feet MLW with a foreshore slope of 1 vertical to 15 horizontal. Construction of the North Reach includes placement of approximately 2.8 million cubic yards of sand. This will be accomplished with a Base Bid and two Options. The BASE BID is the southernmost 3.6 miles of the project requiring approximately 1.1 million cubic yards. OPTION A includes nourishment of 3.3 miles from R-3A to R-21A with about 900,000 cubic yards. OPTION B consists of placing fill on 2.7 miles from R-20 to R-35 with about 800,000 cubic yards.

This borrow area is located approximately 6miles east-northeast from the north limit of the project area. An access channel is provided for approach to this area that may have to be dredged. If dredging of the access channel is required, disposal of all material will be placed in the Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) located 7 to 8 miles south of the access channel.
