Özet

The responsible lead agency is the U.S. Army Engineer District, New York. The entire project shoreline is approximately seven (7) miles long and includes the communities of Point Lookout, Nassau Beach, Lido Beach, and the City of Long Beach, within the Town of Hempstead, in Nassau County. The Department of the Army plan addresses issues of storm induced erosion and inundation by widening the existing beach with the placement of hydraulic fill, the rehabilitation of sixteen (16) of the existing groins at Long Beach, and the construction of six (6) new groins west of Point Lookout at Lido Beach. The plan is designed to maintain a 110-foot berm width along the shoreline between west of Point Lookout to approximately Yates Avenue where it would taper into the eastern portion of the Village of Atlantic Beach.
