Weekly Beach Fill Update, May 3, 2023: Dredge Texas Resumes Beach Replenishment After Weather Delay

May 3, 2023

The Dredge Texas, which had to weather the storms in Cape May Harbor over the past weekend, has resumed pumping sand onto Avalon’s beaches. The dredge was towed back into position at 1 am this morning, and by 9 am, the beach replenishment project was once again underway. The Avalon project is expected to last at least another week before the contractor moves into Stone Harbor.

However, due to the recent delay caused by the storms, the full impact on the project’s timeline is still being evaluated, and an exact start date for Stone Harbor is yet to be determined. According to officials, it is safe to assume that the project will not start before May 20.

As the contractor continues pipe installation work in Stone Harbor, beachgoers and surfers are cautioned to be careful around their work crews. Additionally, off-season swimmers and surfers are being warned not to use the waters between 89th and 92nd streets, where the subline pipeline has surfaced on the beaches.

Stay tuned for further updates on this ongoing beach replenishment project in Avalon and Stone Harbor.

BEACHFILL UPDATE, APRIL 27, 2023:
Great Lakes Dredge and Dock (GLDD) has successfully pumped 225,000 cubic yards of sand onto Avalon’s beaches, marking a great start to the project. However, due to the incoming storm this weekend, operations will be temporarily halted, and the dredge will be relocated to Cape May Harbor for 3-4 days to ride out the storm. GLDD is closely monitoring the weather system to resume operations in a timely manner.

GLDD has projected the start of sand movement in Stone Harbor by May 20th-23rd. Visitors to the beaches are reminded to avoid the equipment and pipes that are in the water and on shore. To ensure the safety of everyone, including first responders, early season swimmers and surfers are advised to avoid the areas where work is being carried out. Once sand pumping begins, the beaches where sand is actively being pumped will be closed in 1000’ sections (4 blocks) for approximately 4 days until the next section begins. It is important to stay away from active work areas, which will be well marked.

The operation is a 24/7 undertaking that involves a lot of heavy equipment to distribute the sand to our beaches. GLDD and the Borough of Stone Harbor are committed to ensuring a safe and efficient project, and we appreciate the cooperation of all beachgoers during this time.

Beach Fill is Underway in Avalon

On Monday morning, April 17, the first grains of sand were taken from the Townsend’s Inlet borrow site and placed on the northern beaches of Avalon. The contractor, Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company (GLDD) is making steady progress in Avalon and is expected to complete their portion of the contract by May 9th. This will allow for beach fill operations in Stone Harbor to begin on the scheduled date of May 12th.

Over the next few weeks, we can anticipate the mobilization of pipes along Stone Harbor beaches, and a survey team will assess pre-fill conditions and make any necessary adjustments to the template. After the survey, discussions will take place to determine where the sand from the contract options will be placed. Currently, the project is on schedule, and Avalon’s progress will be closely monitored.
