SUBJECT:Notice of Intent for barrier beach and dune renourishment located at Great Island
Road,West Yarmouth,MA 02673
DATE:November 14,2022
On November 14,2022,the Waterways and Shellfish Advisory Committee reviewed the above
noted Notice of Intent,presented by VHB for barrier beach and dine renourishment located at
Great Island Road,West Yarmouth,MA 02673
After a lengthy discussion,the Waterways and Shellfish Advisory Committee voted unanimously
to support the project as presented.There were noted concerns of material being trucked in from
an upland source which could pose a shoaling issue in the future,as more sand will be added to
the entire system.Because sediment flow analysis showed accretion along the coast to the east,
in areas that are not navigable nor are shellfish harvest areas,the committee was still supportive
of the project.
If you have any further questions concerning the above matter,please feel free to contact us at
the Natural Resource office,760-4800.
