  • FEMA Maps, update

    The revised maps for Cape May County are out and available to the municipalities for review.  Still waiting for the information to be available on the official web site: http://www.region2coastal.com/sandy/table

    So far, I see that they cleared some of the data- just waiting for the new information to be added.

    4pm update- the maps are available on line.  Enter your shore address in the box half way down on the page, click on “Get Details” to see the flood zone and proposed elevation requirements.

  • Before/After

    Over the last 2 years, our beaches took a beating from Irene, Sandy, and several Nor’easters.  Thankfully, Avalon and Stone Harbor were already in line for a beach replenishment project.   The June/July timing for Stone Harbor was challenging, however, the municipalities had no control over the schedule.

    Now that the projects are complete, I thought it would be helpful to remember the “before” so we can better appreciate the work involved to replace/repair our beaches. Dune grass planting to stabilize the dunes will take place in the fall.

  • Stone Harbor Beach Fill- Complete

    As of this morning: the sand pumping is complete and the tractors are leveling the last section of new beach (79th to 81st Streets).   Once the area is groomed and the equipment is moved, beach access will be fully restored on those blocks.

    The heavy metal brackets that connect the lengths of black pipe have been removed.  Those pipes (currently lining the entire stretch of  Stone Harbor beach) will be hauled away soon.

    While the project caused some inconvenience to residents and visitors, the Borough of Stone Harbor had no option on the timing.  After Irene and Sandy, the beaches/dunes in both Avalon and Stone Harbor were vulnerable.  Thankfully, this major restoration project had been approved and funded.

    Posted 2 videos of the pipe removal 8/2/13 : YouTube Video   and another YouTube Video

  • Stone Harbor Beach Fill

    As of last night, beach access is limited from 88th Street and north for 3 blocks.  The dredging company continues to work 24/7 and expects to complete the project by the end of July.   Removal of the heavy equipment (including the black pipe with walk over paths) may take an additional week.
