We’ve seen some damage from the storms that blew along our coast this week.
It hit our coasts especially hard as many of them are still recovering from last year’s hurricane.
The dramatic amount of sand slated for the restoration project is now gone.
“Unfortunately, at least 50 percent of that sand has been lost after this northeastern storm,” said county engineer Faith Arkativ.
Heading north from Malakonpla Park through Washington Oaks State Park, the dunes again steepen, known as scarves.
There are two different sand reclamation projects that were recently completed, and in both projects, 50% of the newly laid sand was washed away by waves driven by high winds from the storm.
“As far as I’m concerned, it’s over. At this point, I don’t have the funds to come back and do more than what I’ve been doing lately,” Alkatib said.
The funding sources for the two projects were different.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency will provide $3.8 million for the 50,000 cubic yards of sand lost to Hurricane Dorian in 2019, and the DEP will provide 24,000 cubic yards to strengthen the dunes of Washington Oaks. provided an additional $1.8 million.
Losing more than half the sand seems like a waste of taxpayers’ money, but county engineer Alkhatib says a recent nutrition update has saved the home.
There were no floods.
“If we want to keep our beaches and dunes, this is our only option at the moment, to continue to maintain and serve them as much as possible,” Arkatib said.
County officials say an actual renutrition in this area, about 11.4 miles where the storm robbed the sand, would cost more than $100 million, and they don’t have the funding, at least for now.
But officials say they are working to identify additional funding for projects that are not yet on the books, and have allocated funds for several planned projects.
Efforts to keep Mother Nature at bay are costly and ongoing.
Flagler Beach’s long-awaited sand reclamation project, an approximately 2.6-mile Army Corps of Engineers project, is set to begin early next year.
