Local towns, including Belmar, to pay the rest.

Finally a positive report on this blog. Congratulations to Freeholder Arnone for his long and successful efforts. Maybe this can now get done and help the Belmar Marina and Maclearie Park as well.
Tom Burke liked a story on my blog. I apologize to my readers.
Never, ever wonder why there’s so much fanfare occurring about projects getting launched or “underway” at the same time as the election campaign.
Unabashedly biased project funding will be swamping the news cycles from now to 11/3/15 and let’s be honest 2016 is around the corner.
Name recognition come to mind?
Well…I thought he was going to take credit.
Took a look at the plans…. in brief …
1. Dredge material would be hydraulic pumped via pipeline to a Belmar Marina parking lot.
2. The liquid dredge spoils would be centrifuge de-watered in the parking lot.
3. Semi-dry muck would be loaded onto trucks for transport to landfill.
With the 106,000 cubic yard project …. using 20 cubic yard trucks? …. expect about 5,000 2-way truck movements …. hope the equipment is contained to control odor.
Is there another “shovel ready” requirement within this project that will delay the start of the dredging befoŕe the 12/31/2015 Maritime deadline?
Gee! another reason not to waste $600. a square foot on the Taylor. Choose dredge our most important natural asset used by tens of thousands each season OR
build a $4.1 million building for the woman’s club to meet in.VOTE NO
Great article and so long overdue.Mr Arnone worked very hard for this.Nice to see something positive happenening today.
what happens if Carylon damages the marina, Chef’s ability to do business? Comprehensive Insurance could pay for Maclerie and Marina if they sustained substantial injury that couldn’t be mitigated.
will commander Campbell be overseeing Carylon? Is Asbritt waiting in the wings should the commander be???
#1 Now maybe that guy Arnone can get money for the damn bulkhead …….Not Maclearie Park…That is for later on
#5…could you advise where this info can be accessed? was there any suggestion anywhere that Belmar’s out of pocket cost will be offset in any way for accepting the burden of the use of the parking area for this purpose? the paving in the marina is already decrepit and the 5000 truck movements you posit will no doubt cause further deterioration and advance the date of repaving…perhaps our leaders have negotiated some monetary adjustment with the other parties to recognize this?…..I am however very pleased to see this much needed attention given to the river…good job Tom Arnone.
Is Belmar going to pay the dumping fees for this. That is going to be very expensive. If so we need to find out how much that is going to be and hold the accountable for it. If not the will tell us one amount and spend another so the can move money around like they always do.
Maybe Belmar will buy another piece of garbage dredge like they did last time. They bought a dredge for substantial amount of money, used it for about 2 months and when it broke they couldn’t fix it. So they then took it to the junk yard and sold it for a 95% loss. While it sat in the Public Works yard the director had to buy a trailer for it so they could move it for about 20k.
Commander Campbell has to have had a background in seaport management to purchase the dreaded DREDGE without training or even maintenance manuals. Maybe a relative provided a video for the acquisition.
The county maintenance/motor works dept was is always available to municipalities.
Tom Arnone knows the score.
#12 …. the NJDEP permit application was sent to Neptune Twsp, Belmar and Neptune City clerks for public review.
SAVE SHARK RIVER FACEBOOK
CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT START
IT IS OFFICIAL. THE DREDGING CONTRACT FOR SHARK RIVER WAS AWARDED THIS WEEK!!!!
1OO’ WIDE -6’ @ LOW TIDE
After almost 40 years some of the river channels are scheduled and funded to be dredged.
THE NJDOT Bid was awarded to Mobile dredging & pump company.
I would like to thank some of the people who helped make this happen.
THE SAVE SHARK RIVER GROUP, DIVISION OF THE SHARK RIVER CLEANUP UP COALITION.
Senator Beck, Tom Arnone & all the other Freeholders for their support.
Randy Bishop, the towns of Neptune, Belmar & Neptune City, for their full cooperation and land use offering
& the NJDOT who is responsible for the river and its funding.
This should and must be the first part of keeping this valuable asset alive.
Maybe in the next phase Assemblyman Dave Rible and Assemblyman (also Wall attorney) Sean Kean will keep their promise they made in 2009 ”not to let politics get in the way and not stop working till the river comes back to health” It is time to do the right thing for all the residents who elected you. What happened?
The Wall Committee needs to work with all the surrounding towns and let the NJDEP evaluate the property on the river used in the past for dewatering. Wall has been dumping mud in the river for over 70 years without a plan to help remove it.
The Wall residents can benefit if the town works with the County and National Marine Fisheries to dredge along the historical channels, then set up a sailing program and kayak launching dock for all.
Congressman Smith we also need your help with the Army Corps.
Imagine if all our elected officials worked together for us, “we the people”.
This would have saved the taxpayers of Monmouth County and the State millions of dollars.
Thank you
John F. Dempsey

#12 …. FYI …. Neptune Township has the NJDEP dredge permit application online:
http://www.neptunetownship.org/sites/default/files/documents/PublicNotice/Permit%20Application%20to%20dredge%20Shark%20River%20channels.pdf
#18…thank you….I reviewed quickly and it is amazing the process for the state to get the states ok to do what the state wants done…as an aside,in China or Russia would you see this type of process or would it be ‘dig here,put it there’….I did not however see any detail on our marina site and the process of what takes place there, did I miss it or is it elsewhere?
Block 108, lot 1, Belmar, New Jersey.
MACLERIE area
#15 If my memory serves me right Michael Campbell was not working for the Borough when the last dredge was worked, where they piled tons of dirt all over the Marina including the parking areas. Check it out.
Business interruption insurance at 9th Avenue Pier, Fishermen’s den, etc?
