Commission approves amended sand‑nourishment order for Cold Storage Beach and Sea View Street
Summary
Town staff and consultants presented an amended annual sand‑nourishment plan and said Army Corps testing certified the borrow material as suitable; the commission approved the amended order and directed staff to draft conditions.
James (Jimmy) Hill, representing the town’s infrastructure/environment staff, presented an amended order of conditions to expand the footprint for routine maintenance sand nourishment at Sesuit Harbor and Cold Storage Beach. Hill told commissioners that dredged sand had undergone Army Corps sampling and received a 10‑year suitability determination, and that today’s action would expand the placement footprint down to the mean high water line while remaining within local and state jurisdictional limits.
Commissioners asked whether the dredged material was certified clean for placement on public beaches; Hill said the Army Corps sampling and a suitability determination showed the sand met grain‑size and contaminant criteria for beach nourishment.
After questions and brief discussion the commission voted to approve the amended order and directed staff to prepare the order of conditions for the next meeting.
