Industry Day - Delaware Avenue Revetment, Cape May, NJ

Description: The purpose of the project is to manage the risk of on-going shoreline erosion along Delaware Avenue which is threatening the integrity of the road and a sanitary sewer utility line (8-inch force main) that runs along the northern right-of-way of the road, approx. 4 F under the surface. The least cost alternative and selected plan identified in the feasibility study involves the removal of approx. 8,400 cubic yards (CY) of existing rubble (sand, rock, concrete and paving debris) along the shoreline and the placement of approx. 3,000 CY of rip-rap. Once the rip-rap is placed, the water ward side of the structure will be backfilled with approx. 5,000 CY of sand and planted with native wetland vegetation.
