Beach Sand??
Would anyone have any ideas on which beach sand is the best to use. Also is permit required to add new sand to a single beach? Any restrictions??
Thanks for all your help on this. |

You better check with the DES. I'm sure you'll need a permit and you can be sure you will be paying big time for it.
Or you can just do like my neighbor who just built himself a beach and dumped a whole truck load of sand into the lake. No permit. |

EAGLE, you may have got your neighbor in trouble. I would not let any one know if some one fixes their property on any web site.

Do like they did on the Great Escape. Make pants that have big pockets with trap doors in them. Fill the pockets with sand in your garage and then walk around the beach and voila, after 10,221 mini-dumps (give or take a few thouand) you've got a replenished beach. Heck, you can even dump the sand while talking to your neighbor and they'll never know On the serious side, this is why the hairs on my neck get raised when people only want to blame those with lawns as the reason for lake water quality issues..... |

You are supposed to have a permit before replenishing beach sand. You can file with DES for a Permit by Notification for the placement of up to 10 cu yd. All sand must be placed above the normal high water line. If you can get clean, washed sand that would be best but there is no legal requirement to use it. The prohibitions are on introducing contaminants and causing turbidity not on the sand itself, so use your judgement as to whether the sand you are getting is appropriate. Beyond that consider slope and wave action when select coarse vs fine sand.

Since nobody knows where I live, I guess it really doesn't matter. And the State really doesn't give a damn except to collect permit fees. |
