Stephen England, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hydraulic engineer, uses sonar equipment to gauge the depth of a bridge’s foundation below water May, 30, 2013, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. Gauging the depth of the foundation can be cross analyzed with previous recordings to determine if the foundation has shifted over time.
The Hereford Inlet to Cape May Inlet Study is evaluating erosion and storm damage potential for the municipalities on Five Mile Island. Erosion has adversely affected the beach and dunes in North Wildwood increasing the risk of storm damage, while excessive accretion of sand along the central and southern portions of the island has caused health, environmental, and storm-water drainage problems in Wildwood Crest.
The Army Corps of Engineers completed the Grover's Mill Pond Ecosystem Restoration through a combination of sediment removal from the existing pond bottom, physical habitat improvements, and state re-stocking efforts. Fish habitat structures and turtle basking structures were placed into the pond to further enhance wildlife habitat.
Approximately 65,000 cubic yards of nutrient laden silt-like sediment and organic matter was removed from Grover's Mill Pond by a small portable hydraulic dredge to improve habitat. The project is physically complete.
The Great Egg Harbor and Peck Beach, (Ocean City) project was first constructed in 1992 and has been periodically nourished over the years resulting in a wider beach. The project is designed to reduce damages from coastal storms.
