Co-Chair says Army Corps plans Hampton Harbor dredge with sand to replenish Jenness Beach
Summary
Co-Chair Chuck Latvis reported attending a meeting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Surfrider; the Corps intends to dredge Hampton Harbor and use sandy material to replenish Jenness Beach erosion, and was asked to hold a public forum for residents.
Co-Chair Chuck Latvis told the Town of Rye Beach Committee on July 6 that he attended a meeting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Surfrider about a planned dredging of Hampton Harbor. Latvis said the Corps intends to place sandy dredge material in front of Jenness Beach to address erosion that has occurred over recent years.
Latvis said the Army Corps was asked to contact the town and hold a public forum to inform residents about the work. The committee did not receive additional technical details at the meeting, and no formal town action was taken; the Beach Committee asked to be notified when the Corps schedules any public outreach.
The report indicates the project is in a planning or outreach phase from the town’s perspective; the committee requested that the Corps coordinate a public informational session so residents can review plans and timelines.
