Final Project Completion Report - March 2005 (pdf)

Final inspection of the beach/dune/marsh creation construction was conducted on 7 January 2005. Approximately 4.6 MCY of material from the Little Pass borrow site restored a 2.2 mile segment on the eastern end of the island. Two significant storm events with significant rainfall/runoff and wave action occurred during the latter stages of construction and the newly created beach/dune/marsh environment performed well. Over 22,000 linear feet of sand fencing (a double row) was installed and has already begun trapping windblown sand. 5,000 lbs of Gulf Annual Rye Seed was dispersed and has already taken hold on the dune, further preventing erosion until the next project task, the vegetative planting component can begin. The most diverse species planting to date is expected to begin in mid-to-late March 2005. A total of eight different species will be planted completing the project.
