Advisory: Dredging and Beach Placement To Begin This Week

August 23, 2016 by Wayne Creed 2 Comments

NOTICE FROM TOWN OF CAPE CHARLES – The quantity of dredge material (sand) being placed on the beach has been decreased to approximately 30,000 cubic yards, with the progression of work for beach placement beginning at the north end of the beach and proceeding southward (about 600 feet) until the maximum placement volume of 30,000 cubic yards is achieved. This process will take six to ten days to complete.

The difference in color is because the sand fill is derived from nearby channel dredging operations and, unlike the existing beach sand, has not had the benefit of sun, rain and wind exposure over time. Within a short period of time, however, the sand fill will bleach out and begin matching the color of the existing beach sand. In addition, the sand fill will likely have an organic odor at the time of initial placement. This odor should dissipate within a few weeks.

The Town of Cape Charles appreciates your patience and understanding throughout this entire process.

    This notice does not mention the specific start date for this project. Let’s assume that the powers that be have the sense to start this on Tuesday, Sept. 6 and not a minute before!
