Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – July 5, 2017
Buxton Dredging Operations for Re-nourishment on Hold
With rough sea conditions forecasted later this week, Weeks Marine has announced that that the dredge C.R. McCaskill will travel to Norfolk to ensure safety. The McCaskill is expected to return next week and resume operations by Wednesday, July 12. Travel time to Norfolk is approximately two and a half days. While there, the dredge will undergo routine maintenance.
Approximately 10% of the project has been completed thus far and the project manager representing Dare County reports that the sand being pumped from offshore is excellent quality.
