ISLE OF PALMS, S.C. (WCSC) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, officially finished two dredging and sand placement projects on the Isle of Palms on Sunday.
The Breach Inlet Beneficial Use Projects moved about 700,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand from the Corps’ routine maintenance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway to nourish the Isle of Palms coastal system.
“These projects represent a major step forward in the beneficial use of dredged material in our state,” Jacob Kyzar, project manager, said. “It’s not waste—it’s a valuable resource and our goal with these projects is to provide multiple benefits to the area.”
