Beach Renourishment Project Has Been Awarded
Town Officials are pleased to announce the Beach Renourishment
Project for Ocean Isle Beach has been awarded to Great Lakes Dredging. This
project is being performed in conjunction with beach renourishment projects for
Carolina, Kure and Wrightsville Beach as well as maintenance dredging of
Masonboro Inlet and Sand Bypassing. An official schedule for this project will
be released shortly by the Corps of Engineers. This renourishment is part of
the on-going 50-year Federal Project Cooperation Agreement between the Town of
Ocean Isle Beach and Corps of Engineers. The project is estimated to place
approximately 509,200 cubic yards of sand on the beach beginning at Shallotte
Boulevard and running westwardly to a point between Concord and Tarboro Streets.
The borrow area for this project will be the Shallotte Inlet. The Contractor
shall extend a 6.0’ N. A. V. D. berm crest horizontally landward and the width
of the berm is dependent upon the proportional quantity of sand to be placed at
the time of construction. The government interpretation of the borrow area and
beach profile survey, along with the slope of the material during placement,
will be the basis for determining the width of the construction berm.
This site will be updated periodically as more information is
available. When construction commences photos of the project will also be
posted on this site.
A complete set of plans for this project can be viewed at Town
Hall, Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
