The US Army Corps has politely asked a state environmental agency to stand downâfor nowâon its questions about the quality of sand that would be scooped from Scusset Beach and deposited on Town Neck Beach.
Michael S. Riccio, the Army Corpsâ project manager for the New England District, said in a recent email to Town Manager George H. (Bud) Dunham that the Corps had erred in asking the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) to weigh in on the consistency of Scusset sand.
Mr. Riccio said that althoughâin seeking the many permits needed before the Army Corps can dredge and deposit almost 400,000 cubic yards of sand on badly eroded Town Neck Beachâthe Army Corps asked CZM for a âconsistency determinationâ the request came too soon in the lengthy process.
