How did Blue Mountain Beach fair during Arlene?

Hey folks, We could all go to Home Depot and each buy 1 bag of pure white play sand. Then each donor could choose where to donate his/her section of beach. Those choosing Grayton Beach would be eligible for a free beverage at the Red Bar. Those choosing Seaside could then wait tables at the Red Bar. Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, Bob, you hit on something I was thinking about earlier. Suppose each individual property owner took it upon themselves to fix their own little area of the beach. I imagine it would probably take many bags of play sand, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

Whoa! The big question is, "who is monitoring the type and color of sand that owners are adding?" That is a huge issue right now. Who knows, Crazy Larry may dump a few trucks of of rip rap to ensure his house doesn't wash away.

The county could allow people to haul sand from one of their approved white sand suppliers, and people could just go get what they want. No charge of course. I doub't it would make much of a dent, but it couldn't hurt.

My understanding is that the County Commissioners are still working out the details on "approved pits." They were trying to change the wording of the law so that you would not have to have each load inspected and graded if it was excavated from an approved pit. I missed the last meeting and do not know if this issue was resolved.
