Hi Mark
They need to provide a grain size sieve analysis for the native beach material and the sand to be used for nourishment
so that a comparison can be done.
Thanks

Hi Kelly;
My applicants are a little confused as to how many seive analysis to do for the beach nourishment.
Salt Box Association has been doing it for years, but without a sieve, I think.
And for Acres of Pines, it's their first.
They can get a sample from the contractor, but do we need one for the beach, and then one from the contractor to see
if there's a match, or is one do-able, and if so, which one?
I'm thinking that for the first time, we get one from the beach, and then one from the contractor.
Then after, as long as they use the same contractor and the source pit is the same, then they don't have to do it again.
Can you please explain what the requirement is, so I can tell them what to do?
