Debris removal instructions Please click on link to download 1/11/2013 instructions (Click link for letter and form) A letter was sent out to homeowners requesting authorization for a Right of Entry (ROE) form to be signed, notarized and returned to the Town of Brookhaven by January 14,2013. If you did not receive this form please contact Robert Reilly Jr. at 631 451 9276. or Email Sandyrebuild@Brookhave.org. 1/2/2013 Sand Cubes Saltaire did receive a permit from the DEC to do a sand cube project at the end of last week. Permission was granted to do a limited scraping project to fill the cubes. One of the conditions of the permit is that by the spring piping plover season the community will have covered the cubes with sand. This additional sand cannot be scraped from the beach. My understanding is that Saltaire is moving ahead with the project.
We need to do a similar project in the Pines and I have directed our consultant to get the application filed. Doing a similar project in the Pines requires three things: · Agreement with FEMA that they will reimburse such a project · Agreement from the Town to front the funds for the project until FEMA reimburses. · Resolution of this sand issue
FEMA will be in the Pines tomorrow 1/3/2013 and we expect to get an indication that they will reimburse for the project. I hope that if FEMA gives the green light, the Town will agree to front the cost. The important thing is to get the cubes on the beach to provide some protection to the community from the ocean. We can deal with the solution of the sand covering the sand cubes once the cubes are on the beach.
Snow Fencing For our beach projects we use the consulting firm of Land Use Ecological Services. Land Use does not recommend such a project at this time and gave the following advice: “Typically, the beach is in erosion during the fall and winter months and sand buildup does not occur. The risk of damage or destruction of snow fencing at this time of year is typically greater than the benefit of trapping sand during fall/winter months, and we usually do not recommend installation of snow fencing at this time of year. Fencing is more typically installed, and beneficial, in the spring once the beach starts building toward its summer profile. Fencing was installed after the scraping last fall as a permit condition to protect and stabilize the augmented dune.”
It would appear that snow fencing at this time would also complicate the debris removal of the Army Corps of Engineers.
I recommend that we delay a snow fencing project until the sand cubing project is completed. If we are not able to do a sand cubing project we can then take up the fencing project.
The Breach FINS has announced publically that it will move to close the breach if it has not healed itself by this time. This afternoon, I am developing a letter from the four Brookhaven communities on Fire Island asking FINS when they will move to close the breach. I feel that a letter coming from all of the communities will have more clout.
These matters are complicated and they will take time to resolve, but they will get resolved. I am asking that the Board and the community be patient while we seek resolution of these matters. We are pursuing a strategy to get these matters resolved. It will take some time.
