Second extension for Oak Island beach nourishment May 20, 2021, by Eldin Ganic The Town of Oak Island last week received written confirmation from USACE and the N.C. Division of Coastal Management that a second extension had been granted for sand distribution operations in the 2020 / 2021 Nourishment Project. This second extension will now allow two dredges currently in operation, the Ohio and the Dodge Island to continue sand distribution to continue through midnight Saturday, May 22, for the Dodge Island. It maintains equipment demobilization during daylight hours only with a deadline of Wednesday, May 26, the Town said. As with the first extension, completion of the project remains a key priority towards providing the much-needed protection the sand berms would offer during the upcoming hurricane season.
