Sand Shifter – Aunt Lydia’s Cove, Chatham
Work continued on the staging for Phase 2 of the Aunt Lydia’s Cove project. On Monday & Tuesday, the crew continued to move pipe to the discharge location along the beach just south of Minister’s Point. Dredging started on Wednesday and continued through Saturday. The Pre-Dredge volume to be dredged was 10,000 Cubic Yards that will be used to replenish the heavily eroded beach to the south of Minister’s Point.
