Authorized Activity:
Permanent disturbance of approximately 517 linear feet of Cattaraugus Creek [Class B(T)] within the coastal erosion hazard area, for the purpose of shoreline stabilization. Shoreline stabilization measures will include the removal of existing shoreline materials (approximately 6-to 8 feet deep, and then 6 feet back from the Creek), then the installation of log cribs, soil-filled geotextile grid, stone revetment, and revegetation of the shoreline. The project also involves the removal of a sidewalk within the limits of the northern most point of the Sunset Beach Marine Park.
Project Timeline: Work is expected to begin October 16, 2023, and proceed through December. Project completion is expected in the Spring of 2024.
