\r\nThe Army Corps of Engineers has released a\r\nDraft Environmental Assessment and a Draft Finding of No Significant Impact\r\nfor putting more sand on Tybee Island beach, also known as “renourishment”.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nThe renourishment process involves using a cutterhead dredge to move\r\nabout 1.7 million cubic yards of high quality sand from an area\r\nlocated 1.5 miles from the southern tip of Tybee Island. The\r\ndeposited sand would be enough to compensate for the erosion\r\nexpected to occur over the subsequent nine years. The project will\r\ninclude placing sand up to the north terminal groin. This northern\r\narea was included in previous renourishment cycles, but not the 2008\r\nrenourishment.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n“It is good news,” said Tybee council member Paul Wolff.\r\n“Obviously we depend on the beach for our economy. Everything\r\nthat gets done to move the process forward helps. We’re optimistic\r\nwe’ll get the federal cost share again.”\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nHm, I wonder if this contact information would work for other projects:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nAnyone wishing to comment on the proposed renourishment project\r\nshould submit comments in writing no later than Jan. 17, 2014, to\r\nthe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, Planning\r\nDivision, ATTN: Ms. Ellie Covington, 100 W. Oglethorpe Ave.,\r\nSavannah, GA 31401-0889. Comments may also be submitted via fax to\r\n912-652-5787 or via email to CESAS-PD.SAS@usace.army.mil\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
