Federal Funding Announced For Fenwick Beach Pumping
By SHAWN J. SOPER
NEWS EDITOR
FENWICK ISLAND – Fenwick Island officials last week announced the federal Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract for a vast beach replenishment project to repair the damage caused during Hurricane Sandy last fall and other coastal storms throughout the winter and early spring. The Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract to repair and restore the beaches in Fenwick and other coastal resort towns in Delaware to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock. With the contract awarded last week, a notice to proceed is expected to be issued at any time and a construction schedule will be released. With Fenwick and other Delaware beaches in the height of their seasons, the beach replenishment and restoration projects will likely be scheduled after Labor Day. During the project, roughly 389,000 cubic yards of sand will be pumped onto the beach in Fenwick from offshore borrow sources and spread over about 6,500 feet of shoreline. The dunes ravaged during Sandy last October and other storms last winter and early spring will also be restored to their prestorm conditions. Fenwick’s beach replenishment project will coincide with similar restoration efforts in neighboring South Bethany and Bethany Beach,
After Labor Day, beach replenishment work is expected to commence in Fenwick Island. Other projects are planned for Ocean City, Bethany Beach, Rehoboth and Dewey. File Photo
along with Dewey Beach, Rehoboth and Lewes. In South Bethany and Bethany Beach, roughly 476,000 cubic yards of sand will be pumped onto the beaches from offshore sources, while Dewey and Rehoboth will get a combined 455,000 cubic yards. Overall, from New York to Virginia, the Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of placing over 26 million cubic yards of sand along the
coastline in resort areas ravaged by Sandy last fall. The intent is to repair and restore coastal storm risk projects previously built by the Corps that were severely impacted by Sandy. While replenishment projects are slated up and down the mid-Atlantic area, the bulk of the 26 million cubic yards scheduled to be pumped onto the beaches, or roughly 23 million cubic yards, will be placed in New York and New
Jersey, which bore the brunt of the storm. Much of the work in those areas has already started. It is being accomplished through a number of contracts with sand being obtained from different sources including navigation channels and offshore borrow areas. While the exact costs for the Fenwick Island and Delaware projects is not known because SEE NEXT PAGE
