Enter SANDMAN
The article in the Walton sun on the Geo-Tubes going in at Gulf Dunes states that 10,000 to 15,000 yards of sand are required to cover the tubes and backfill behind them to finish the project .
That is a big expense. This is to cover and backfill 750' of tubes.
300k to 450k for Sand.
Did anyone see a numbers breakout for our Beach that would go for Sand to be put on top and behind the Tubes ?
By the way I was told by the folks at The Sea Turtle Survival League that if the Geo-Tubes become uncovered during Marine Turtle nesting season it is a violation of Federal Law.
