The project calls for slightly under 600,000 cubic yards of sand being placed on the beach. To date, the Avalon beach fill project has resulted in 471,000 cubic yards of new sand being placed on the Avalon beachfront. Once all of the sand is pumped onto Avalon’s beach, a demobilization effort will begin to remove pipe and other equipment associated with the project.
The pipe for the Stone Harbor beach fill will be located in the ocean, and not on land. There will be a booster pump located in the ocean at 31st Street that will send a slurry of sand and sea water to Stone Harbor for its project. The dredge “Texas” should complete its work today. Dune grading has been completed from 12th Street south to 21st Street. Once all of the sand is pumped onto the beach, crossovers will be completed with post and rail fence installed at select locations. Beach cross over paths from 20th-27th streets are closed today as the project nears completion. The current discharge station for the new sand is located just south of 25th Street. The total fill will be just shy of 600,000 cubic yards of sand. To date, over 550,000 cubic yards of sand has been pumped onto the north end Avalon beaches. The Avalon beach fill project is anticipated to conclude on Friday, May 12th. Photos of Avalon’s 13th Street beach taken Saturday, May 13th by Avalon Business Administrator Scott Wahl.
