Lt. Gen. Todd T. Semonite, USACE Commanding General and 54th U.S. Army Chief of Engineers, yesterday signed the Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook Bay, Highlands, New Jersey, Coastal Storm Risk Management Chief’s Report. This project spans a geographic distance of approximately 8,000 linear ft. along the bay shoreline of Highlands, which has a history of devastating flood damages, and ties into high ground at each end. Because the project follows the actual perimeter of the shore, its total length is 10,737 linear feet. The recommended plan includes floodwall, a pump station, a detention pond, and related features. The signing of the report progresses the project to Congress for authorization. More information on this project from the New York District can be found here: https://go.usa.gov/xfukb
