Asharoken Trustees to Hold Special Meeting on Feasibility Study

The Asharoken Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting on Friday at 10 a.m. at the Village Hall Trailer, 1 Asharoken Avenue, to review an amendment to the Feasibility Study and other Village related business.

The Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting an ongoing feasibility study since early 2006 in order to analyze the most cost-effective means of permanent beach erosion prevention not only in front of the Asharoken seawall, but also the entire north shore of Long Island.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) concerns for wildlife and water quality with regard to the proposed locations for sand dredging would be addressed in the feasibility study.
