Beach Replenishment On Track For Toms River
“Toms River’s ocean beaches are still on track for a federally-funded replenishment project to begin this fall.
“As far as the DEP and the Army Corps are concerned, we are in a good position,” said Paul Shives, township administrator.The project is contingent on the township – or state – obtaining easements voluntarily or through the eminent domain process for numerous properties along the oceanfront. The small slivers of land have been the subject of controversy as a few oceanfront residents have held out. Gov. Chris Christie has said all of the homeowners who do not sign easements will have them taken away through eminent domain proceedings.”
