Corps: up to 20–30 trucks per day bringing 111,000 tons of rock through Ocean Shores
Summary
The Corps said about 111,000 tons of engineered armor stone will be delivered overland to the North Jetty, with average truck traffic ~10 trucks/day and peak 20–30 trucks/day along a city-coordinated haul route; the Corps and contractor said they will monitor speeds and repair road damage caused by the project.
Army Corps staff told the town hall that the repair is land-based and will require major rock deliveries through Ocean Shores. "At maximum, you could see 20 to 30 trucks pulling through," Corps program manager Gabby Cioppini said, noting an average expectation of about 10 trucks per day year-round.
The Corps said the project will import roughly 111,000 tons of engineered armor stone, with some individual stones weighing up to 40 tons. Sources identified in the presentation include Skagland Quarry in Darrington, Washington, and Drake Quarry in Astoria, Oregon. The Corps presented a coordinated haul route it said was selected with the city, and officials said contractors are expected to follow local traffic laws and that drivers who violate rules can be fired and ticketed.
City staff and the Corps said they performed preconstruction road surveys and will reinforce localized spots and repair any damage directly attributable to project trucks once work is complete. Residents raised concerns about out-of-state drivers passing trucks and wildlife-vehicle collisions; the city said enforcement by local police will be used where necessary.
