Mr. David Hansen, Deputy City Manager and Mr. Phil Rohrs City Public Works Engineer provided the BAC attendees with a brief overview of the city’s dredge spoils transfer project proposed for the area just east along Long Creek adjacent to the Marina Shores Marina.  The city is looking to eventually develop several sites in the Lynnhaven basin to transfer these non-beach suitable dredge spoils for disposal at the Oceana borrow pit.  Mr. Rohrs stated that the spoils will be mechanically transferred from barge to dump truck about 80% of the time.  City Council will specify and approve the hours of operations and the hauling schedule. Suitable precautions will be implemented to ensure site and area safety. Many civic associations including SDCC, Cape Story By the Sea, Cape Henry Shores and Bay Island have objected strongly to the proposed dredge transfer operation located next to the marina.  Much discussion followed Mr Hansen’s and Mr. Rohrs’ presentation.  Mrs Lynn Hume presented some particularly succinct points for both city officials to consider including zoning and safety issues.
