Agency says group missed deadline for cleaning beach
Associated Press
HILTON HEAD ISLAND--The South Island Dredging Association missed a deadline to clean up South Beach, state coastal regulatory officials said.
Chris Brooks, state Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management deputy commissioner, said the agency would talk with the dredging association this week to determine how the beach should be cleaned.
The state says the association put mud on the beach.
He said the state probably would require the dredging association to cover up the mud because removing it would further harm the beach.
The association has denied responsibility for the mud on the beach.
Stan Barnett, the association's attorney, has said the association has proof the material was on the beach before the project to pump up to 50,000 cubic yards of "beach quality" sand in May.
The town of Hilton Head Island agreed to pay up to $300,000 for the sand.
The association was dredging the mouth of nearby Baynard Cove. The town stopped the work May 20, shortly after it began, saying the material being pumped onto the beach didn't meet the standards called for in the contract.
The association was never paid for the work.
