The DEP, CAFRA and the Corps of Engineers are insidiously destroying the New Jersey beaches. Portions of the Belmar and Spring Lake beaches have been replenished with material that is a combination of gravel and dirt. Attached are pictures of grains of sand that I picked up on the Spring Lake beach. I no longer walk on the beach without sandals because I got something in my foot that is taking over three weeks to clear up. It seems there is still something in there. The companies which are replenishing the beaches are not being monitored and specifications are not enforced. Good ideas proposed by some of the towns are shot down by these organizations. They are not allowed to innovate. The Corps of Engineers recently came up with a $2 million solution to a problem they caused in Sea Girt. The problemw can be solved for no more than $5,000. Please join with me and other outraged citizens of New Jersey by petitioning Federal, State and Local government to decimate these organizations who are destroying our environment. They are not protecting our beaches or protecting us they are damaging beaches which I have lived almost on top of for 75 years. I have seen beaches come, go, rise, fall and be replenished. I have lived through countless hurricanes, Sandy and other major storms. Never have I seen the carnage these organizations are doing.
