Gaining Sand Economically

AVALON - Long known for its inovated ways to .--protect and rebuild the high sand which arc a landmark in this community — Avalon has done it again The newest project was started following the past storm survey recommendations. The borough has begun a short-term program which includes restoring and building more dunes, according to borough administrator Andrew Bcdnarek. "WE ARE reclaiming the beach at Townsends Inlet. using regular snbw fence cut in half to2 ft. The 3 ft. snow fencing can be placed on the beach without being torn out by. wind or tides. The tides ? wash over the.low fencing and sand is trapped behind the fence. The fence also trap blowing sand making small dunes,” explained Davie Garrick of the Dept, of Public Works. Borough workers cut the common 4 ft. snow fencing in half. Strips of the fencing were placed 50 feet in a staggered manner to catch the sand carnied by both . the wind anal thO ocean. Short fence is less likely to be blown around than larger fence. Also, .cutting the fence in half makes H go further. "We just thought we’d give it a try," Bedna'rek said. “Y/e’re just experimenting with it." . BEDNAREK terms the Townsends Inlet section of beach the best in the .borough, noting the municipality may have to provide lifeguards there this summer. "It’s amazing." saidX^arrick, "people used to fish in the area that is new beach.” 'Rie other section where theVexperiment is being, tesfed is between 21st and’ 31st St. In the past few weeks, tt£ borough has managed tf build dunes 15 ft. high and 30 ft. wide on the beach fronting , the Atlantic Ocfian. ^ ENVIRONMENTALIST have labeled the area between 21st and 31st St. as critical because of a lack of dune protection. Homes in that area are vulnerable to any heaving storm that will pound the coast in the future, they said. Also local environmental officials have been urging local of-

ONE DAY’S ACCUMULATION of sand is measured at the Townsends Inlet area by Public Works personnel as Public Works head David Carrick, left, and borough administrator Andrew Rednarek-look on. It’s all part of the low-cost beach restoration project underway in Avalon. . V,

ficals to help solve the problem. The borough got moving on the project a few weeks ago. Bednarek said workere are scraping about two feet ‘ of sand off the beach above ( the high water line. This is' carried back to the existing small 3 ft. dunes and dumped into place v he explained. The sand is being held in place by old wooden fencing that has been lying in the municipality's maintenance yard for years. "SOME OF IT had been around so long it was rotting," Carrick said. The result of the .work is a huge wall of sand 20 feet high in • places," 3ednarek said. ‘'Some of the new dunes measure close to 50 feet at the base." "The work isn't hurting the* teachers at all," Carrick said. "There's plenty

of sand here." The ocean is also helping to replenish the dunes — by depositing a few tons of sand on the teach every week, according to Bednarek. This sand will be scraped up before the ocean can carry it awhy and dumped on the hew dunes. SAND ALSO will be transported from teaches south %f 31st St. and .dumped on the new dunes, he said, claiming the area below 31st St. won’t suffer by losing the sand. When the work is completed, Christmas trees will be , placed behind the dunes and dune grass will be planted, the administrator said. This should cost about MiOOO. “Wd'II be working through the Winter," he pointed out.
