If you notice surveying occurring on the beach in
North Myrtle Beach, Coastal Carolina University personnel are taking
measurements to help determine sand loss from the recent storms. The
resulting information will be submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers as part of the formal process the City must follow as it continues to seek emergency beach renourishment funds.
You
may also see City personnel working on the beach with equipment in
areas where dune walkovers were damaged by the storms, and sections of
dunes were severely breached. Personnel will be moving sand up from the
low tide beach to place under and around damaged dune walkovers, and
they will also use low tide beach sand to fill in some severely breached
sections of dunes.
The
City is required to do the work as part of its formal agreement with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the federal beach
renourishment project within its jurisdiction. The Corps is aware that
the work is being accomplished and, as part of the process, the City will document the work it is performing and provide the Corps with a report.
