Sand Inventory Program. A Study of New Jersey and Northern New England Coastal Waters
CERC continues to seek and delineate offshore deposits of sand for beach restoration and stabilization. This Sand Inventory Program, in its exploration phase, uses seismic reflection profiles of the bottom and subbottom and also coring of the bottom. Laboratory analyses of the field data define the location, characteristics, extent, and quantity of the sand deposits that can be used for shore protection. CERC has conducted detailed exploration surveys off New Jersey, east Florida, New England, Long Island, and Norfolk, Virginia. This work covers 7,300 miles of geophysical surveys and includes 1,037 cores and more than 5,000 sand-sample analyses. Within several miles of the shore and in water shoaler than 100 feet, the surveys revealed more than 4 million cubic yards of sand suitable for beach nourishment. In 1966, off New Jersey, the Corps of Engineers proved the practicability of recovering these sand deposits from the bottom and putting them on eroded beaches at a competitive cost. The work was accomplished by a large hopper dredge with a pump-out capability. More recently, a Federal beach near Los Angeles was artificially replenished by recovering an offshore deposit with a pipeline dredge. (Author)
