"Manson Construction Company subcontracted work on the construction of outfalls to Agate Engineering. COA is in the process of getting the contract and project specifications for this reach of the Beach Erosion Control Project; however what we do know is that the subcontractor was supposed to remove the material offsite and properly dispose of it.
We discovered that the contractor had merely moved what was left of the material that had not washed away a block to the south (Ocean Lane) and a bit further up the beach away from the water, as well as sprinkled some clean sand on top of some of the piles of muck. However, there was no containment surrounding the pile, so the material was exposed to wind, waves, and tides, especially from a full moon nor'easter predicted for the next day. COA once again contacted State and Federal agencies to ensure that a real solution to this dirty dilemma was put into place.
By Monday afternoon, NJDEP Spokesperson Larry Hanja stated that NJDEP issued a notice of violation of the Waterfront Development Act and the Coastal Area Facility Review Act to Agate Engineering, however the specifics of the violation including penalty amounts are not yet known.
On Tuesday (February 23) we returned to the site (in the early afternoon which was around low tide) and discovered the contractor had put a 1 to 2 foot small black woven material ?silt fence? around the pile, and were in the process of using a bulldozer to push up a sand berm around the pile to shield it from the incoming storm."


So it appears the original company got a lot of moolah for the project. They then subcontracted with a sub to save even MORE money. This corruption stuff runs so deep. It was like they were doing this out in the open and didn't care. Why shouldn't Pallone or one of the politicians be held responsible for this? Just seems like more dirty business to me.

Pallone be held responsible now that's funny it didn't happen in Lock Harbor where he lives so he could give a sh_t. Him and his corrupt buddy Menendez who was suppose to be indicted guest it was over looked like Hilliary

I think there will be a lot of beach restoration coastwide after these fall hurricanes are done. jmo

"This photo & warning by JOE DOYLE > Be very careful walking along the high tide line in Margate. The sand can suddenly give way, and you're up to your thighs in quicksand.Picture was taken at Mansfield Ave on SAT afternoon. No less than a dozen people sunk into the sand, from their calves up to their thighs. One woman reported that it happened up closer to the pier as well.
Thanks to the Army Corp of Engineers & the NJ DEP for these public safety hazards: more rip currents, steep drops-offs, cliffs, contamination, and under-water landslides brought on by beach widening."
