#3 …. Yep! …. many condos …. all built on dredge spoils …. Neptune Township owns 2.5 acres of vacant land at the entrance road and RT 35S …. you can see the undeveloped property from the elevated roadway.
NIMBY can be expected …. but, Neptune Township is the primary beneficiary of the dredging project …. not Belmar.
…..#4……Really cool word, NIMBY. Went right over my head, but so true. Going to add it to my vocabulary. (HaHaHa) From the little research I have done, the 2 1/2 acres of vacant land was always a proposed spoils drying site. I happen to live on the Island and think it is the best spot. Frees up additional parking and has little to no impact with the Island residents. Wall, of course, would have been the best choice!
a person who objects to the siting of something perceived as unpleasant or potentially dangerous in their own neighborhood, such as a landfill or hazardous waste facility, especially while raising no such objections to similar developments elsewhere.
Currently …. the Wall site is used by a nesting pair of American Bald Eagles …. eagle populations in NJ have increased since the DDT ban …. but, single eagles are still “rare” and nesting pairs are “rare and endangered”
Hopefully, next 4th of July …. we will be watching eagles soar over the Shark River Estuary.

As a matter of fact…and my siblings can attest to this…my Jewish name is Moishe, Yiddish for Moses.
The dredge spoils would be better handled on Seaview Island.
You forgot there are homes all over the man made island
