Lack of access endangers Reach 8 dune plan | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

One of the Town of Palm Beach's alternatives for what they refer to as "Reach 8" in their beach renourishment program would be to go through the Lake Worth Beach. We have denied them access for such activity, the last time was when Drautz was Mayor. They were able to get access through another condominium property, but now that property's HOA is asking questions and has their own consultant. Their concern is mostly about the poor quality of sand, which was a complaint by Lake Worth beach-goers the last time renourishment happened in this area of the island. Click title for link. From the article:

The building at 3360 S. Ocean Blvd. has allowed the town use of its property for previous dune work and is considering doing so again this time. But residents of the building and members of the Coalition to Save Our Shoreline, a group of concerned condo residents, have asked the town to explain its design details before the condo association decides whether to allow the trucks onto its property.
Most of the questions are about the source, grain size and volume of sand to be placed on the dune.
Richard Hunegs, president of the 3360 condo association and of SOS, could not be reached for comment. But Madelyn Greenberg, an SOS officer and 3360 resident, said the town has used poor-quality sand in some of its past beach and dune fills.
“SOS and 3360 would love to have this project go ahead,” Greenberg said Wednesday. “But we can’t agree to anything that violates any environmental laws or that is doomed to fail. We need information to make an educated decision. We don’t want to see a poor grade of sand washed out to sea.”
