This work to abate the beach erosion remains unfinished. There is a developing problem with this section of the concrete wall beginning to lean further into the channel. The concrete bags look as if they may exacerbate the situation. I showed this to J.R. and he feels we may need to put some posts next to the wall on the channel side to stop the lean before the wall falls into the channel. I believe it takes a GLO permit to put additional posts into the channel. We don't need to receive another fine from the GLO for not obtaining a proper permit.
This photo shows what has happened to our securing strap that was put in four years ago. It was a strong steel strap connecting the two perpendicular walls. It rusted out in no time and the separation is evident and increasing. This needs pretty immediate attention. Will anything be done in a timely manner? It may be like the end of the breakwater. I posted and pleaded almost two years ago that all we needed to do was to tighten the allthred nuts to secure the shoreguard before it began to unravel like a zipper. Nothing was done and now we are looking at a $15,000 repair even after paying Kinsel Construction to fix this earlier this year. It is difficult for our board to be proactive on repairs when they are seldom here.
