2.0 Alternatives Considered
The exact timing for particular receiver sites would depend on the contractor selected to implement the
dredging and disposal activities, the alternative selected for implementation, and coordination with the
R
resource agencies regarding nesting season. However, scheduling would be coordinated to the maximum
R
extent possible to avoid conflicts with national holidays and scheduled major beach events.
R
Public Safety/Beach Closures
Due to construction activities associated with beach replenishment operations (e.g., pumping sand onto the
beach, grading, line moving and maintenance), portions of the identified receiver sites would be temporarily
closed to public access. Table 2-4 shows the approximate length of each receiver site that would be closed
to the public per day, depending on the unique beach site characteristics (e.g., width of existing beach,
presence of bluffs, rip-rap) at each receiver site. Closure would be maintained on a 24-hour basis during
the scheduled project operation time.
