Buxton Beach Nourishment Update … Wednesday, August 2, 2017 … Pumping Resumed

After having to shut down pumping operations on Friday morning, July 29 due to rough sea conditions, the pumping of sand resumed this afternoon just after 4:00 p.m. Construction is moving to the south and has approached the north end of Buxton.

Rough sea conditions on Friday, August 4 may lead to another delay over the weekend, but Weeks Marine estimates that if the current forecast holds, sea conditions will allow them to work for approximately four days over the coming week.

At this point, approximately 22% of the project has been completed. Updates will be provided as additional information is available.

Power Restoration - Cape Hatteras Motel

Updated Timeline for Restoration of Power on Hatteras Island

/0 Comments/in , /by

Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative (CHEC) has announced that two simultaneous solutions are being executed to restore transmission service to Hatteras Island and the estimated timeline to complete repairs will range from one to two weeks. CHEC is concurrently working to expand temporary generation service to the island.

Evacuation for all visitors to Hatteras Island will remain in effect until adequate, reliable power is established to meet the demand. County officials will continue to closely monitor the progress of restoration efforts so that visitors can return to the island as soon as possible.

For updated information from CHEC regarding power restoration, visit www.chec.coop/ or their Facebook page.

Currently, Essential Personnel (Priority One), Permanent Residents & Essential Personnel for Critical Businesses (Priority Two), and Non-Resident Property Owners & Non-Resident Employees of Non-Critical Businesses (Priority Three) are allowed access to Hatteras Island with proper reentry credentials. Details regarding reentry procedures are available at darenc.com/reentry. As you approach the checkpoint north of the Bonner Bridge, please have your license, reentry pass, or tax bill readily available.

For those on Hatteras Island, it is important to remember that mandatory power and water conservation measures remain in effect. All Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative (CHEC) customers must remove air conditioning systems and hot tub heaters from the power grid by turning off system circuit breakers. In addition, mandatory water restrictions are in place prohibiting the filling of pools or hot tubs, the watering of lawns, and the watering of driveways or sidewalks for cleaning.

Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – July 21, 2017

Weeks Marine has announced the change of pumping directions over the course of the next week.  An anticipated weather delay may cease pumping operations this weekend for the Buxton project.  The dredge C.R. McCaskill plans to remain on site during this weather delay.  When pumping is forced to shut down due to rough sea conditions, the beach crews will detach the current pipeline and transit the pipes to the south of the subline.  The newly nourished beach is expected to open to public after Weeks Marine moves the active construction zone to the south.  When pumping operations resume sometime next week, construction will proceed south from the subline towards the village of Buxton.

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

When life serves you lemons and big yellow machines, what should you do? Have FUN, of course! … Especially when you are on vacation along the Outer Banks.

Cape Hatteras Motel has been actively involved in keeping you informed about the progress of the Buxton beach re-nourishment which is happening throughout the summer. And while the work is still located north of the motel (and will be for several more weeks), it’s a fascinating project to watch and experience first-hand, and we would like to commemorate it in a way that’s fun for the entire family.

We’re pleased to announce that Cape Hatteras Motel is your exclusive location for purchasing “We Got Pumped” t-shirts!  With an original design and a bit of whimsy thrown in, (who doesn’t love a crab with binoculars?), the shirts are a great way to show your Cape Attitude™ and tell the world you were here when sand was being pumped at a whopping 17,000 gallons per hour!

The shirts come in three colors – black, tropical blue and safety green; and are available in Kids sizes M and L and adult sizes S,M,L,XL, and XXL. Children’s sizes are $17.99 plus tax, and adults are $21.99  plus tax.

You can purchase them during your visit here at the office, or you can order by calling the office at 252-995-5611 with your credit card information and we’ll send your order to you with a small shipping charge added.

These shirts will not be sold anywhere else, and this is a limited run so they will become a collector’s item.

Having an expanded beach means a more stable and viable Highway 12, so the project is long-awaited! Join in on the fun and order your shirts today – they’ll make great gifts for all the OBX lovers in your circle of family and friends!
