WE REALLY HAVE GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD

The Hopkins Construction Company out of Bridgeville, Delaware has sent in truckload after truckload of sand in the last few days for our shoreline restoration. Tons of sand is waiting in the park while the rest is in the Street waiting to become the shoreline on Bahia.
Terry McGean, the Town Engineer for Ocean City was responsible for contacting Hopkins and getting us this sand. There is no way to express our heartfelt gratitude for all he has done for us from the very beginning of this restoration. That shoreline is going in thanks to him, now it is our responsibility to do everything in our power to make this THE most beautiful place in Ocean City.
These photos, taken today, will show you the runoff, not only from the park, but the houses directly on the park/pond, just before you get to Oyster. These houses will have to divert their rainspouts so the shoreline won't erode.
The park needs water gardens to soak up the water so it doesn't run into the pond. You people reading this on the Internet, please do some research on the rain gardens and see if you don't agree. Remember that park was a marsh not too many years ago.
Dr. Jesien tells us we will need 2500 feet of jute matting to hold the sand in place. We will be able to plant through the matting. I will order that Monday. I have already placed the order for plants from Environmental Concerns using the money we received from the Maryland Coastal Bays Program. They will release the order as soon as I tell them.
Now the big question is: WHO IS GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS WORK? Will you help? Email me at 1vm.mccullough@verizon.net
