Two dredges will be used simultaneously to pump 1.2 million cubic yards of sand on storm-battered beaches in Sea Isle City and Avalon.
After losing a highly publicized coin flip involving both municipalities' mayors, Sea Isle City expected to follow Avalon and anticipated its beachfill would conclude shortly before the Fourth of July weekend.
But to meet a June 30 contract deadline, Illinois-based Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. is doubling its efforts and starting in both municipalities at the same time with two dredges, Sea Isle City officials said Friday.
The dredges will take sand from Townsends Inlet, sending 700,000 cubic yards to Sea Isle City's southern end and 500,000 cubic yards to Avalon's northern end.
The seaside municipalities partnered for a $10.4 million project to restock stretches of eroded shoreline. Earlier this week, the state agreed to fund 75 percent of the costs.
By contract, the work had to be finished by the end of June or the company would face fines. Delays could have meant work would take place during the busiest of times for a New Jersey shore town - the Fourth of July.
"You know what? That would be a nightmare with a capital N," Sea Isle Mayor Leonard Desiderio said.
A representative of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock could not be reached Friday.
Sea Isle City real estate agent Barbara Boeshe said the announcement Friday came as a relief. She had notified summer renters from 73rd to 93rd streets about the beachfill and the pipes or machinery that may accompany it temporarily.
As of yet, no one has backed out of a summer rental because of the beachfill, but moving the completion date up several weeks makes a world of difference, she said.
"It makes everything a whole lot easier. Not as many people are renting in June because of the snow days (for schools)," Boeshe said.
Avalon and Sea Isle City partnered on the project to split the nearly $2 million dredge mobilization cost and said they would use local funds because their beaches were in dire need of replenishment.
A dredge works like a huge vacuum cleaner. It churns sand from the ocean floor and sucks it through long tubes, where the sand is pumped onto beaches and graded to make them smooth and even.
On Tuesday, the state Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Coastal Engineering informed the municipalities that the state would cover 75 percent of the project's costs.
On April 21, both municipalities found a way to get some publicity out of their beachfills by flipping coins on the Townsends Inlet Bridge to determine who would go first. The dredge company indicated either one was fine with it.
Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi won the flip, although both mayors indicated they were glad the beachfills would be completed by summer.
Desiderio, who later joked the wind was blowing from Avalon the day of the coin flip, said Friday it seems Sea Isle City did not lose the toss after all.
"It looks like that coin fell on its side," Sea Isle City Administrator George Savastano said.

Rumor officially false: No ‘Jersey Shore’ in SIC! -
|
Friday, January 22, 2010
|

Sea Isle City had a real situation on its hands Thursday. Or make that a fake situation.
Rumors were flying around town and around cyberspace that the bad boys and girls of MTV’s hit show “Jersey Shore” were set to take their act south from Seaside Heights after that night’s season finale and set up shop in Sea Isle next summer for another run of shows. The people of Sea Isle — year-round population 2,909 — weren’t happy with that idea, and they were letting their leaders know it.
With calls and e-mails flooding City Hall, the mayor of the Cape May County city had to take the rare step of issuing an official statement denying a rumor. Mayor Leonard Desiderio said nobody from the network or show had contacted anyone from the town, and he was relieved when an MTV representative joined in to help squelch the rumor.
“We have not confirmed a second season” will air, let alone where that season would be set, said a network spokeswoman who declined to give her name.
Desiderio was sure by midafternoon that his Sea Isle office had broken all one-day January records for phone calls — most of them asking about “Jersey Shore,” and most of them complaining about it. A secretary in his office, Patty Ponichtera, estimated a bit later that the mayor himself got somewhere between 50 and 100 e-mails, all of them opposed to “Jersey Shore” landing in their little corner of that shore.
But the city Clerk’s Office was also getting calls, and so was the public relations office, where spokeswoman Katie Dalrymple said she had first heard the rumor Wednesday night.
“My friend texted me that ‘Jersey Shore is coming. It’s on Facebook,’” she said. “Then I came in this morning and had about 10 e-mails and phone calls about it.”
And the complaints kept coming for the rest of the day.
“They were all saying that if it’s here, it’s going to pretty much ruin some of their vacations,” Dalrymple said.
So the town went on the offensive — against a show its people apparently find so offensive.
“This is my 18th year (as mayor), and I never had to put out a statement denying a rumor before,” Desiderio said. “This story has taken on a life of its own, and it really ... grew and grew and grew.”
Desiderio said he had also never watched a “Jersey Shore” episode until Wednesday night, after he started getting a few calls asking whether Sea Isle would really host a second season of the infamous show. The source of the rumors, as far as he could figure, was an unattributed line repeated on several Internet blogs: “Filming will begin again this summer in the resort town of Sea Isle, N.J.”
His diagnosis — which he repeated at least a few dozen times Thursday, to residents, homeowners, renters, potential renters, bar-owners and media representatives , including radio talk-show hosts: “That’s got to be a misprint with Seaside Heights.”
Desiderio, who makes his living owning a bar, was with the people who don’t want “Jersey Shore” at his Jersey shore.
He gave that verdict after watching a rerun of an episode in which cast member Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi — a 4-foot-9-inch, 21-year-old woman with a penchant for doing headstands in bars while wearing a short skirt, forcing MTV to blur out certain parts of her in several shows — wore basically a corset and lots of makeup to Seaside Heights bars.
It was also the episode in which another character got arrested for punching out a guy in a bar. In a particularly controversial earlier episode, cameras were rolling when Snooki got punched in a bar, by a male gym teacher.
Another “Jersey Shore” fan favorite is Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, who took his nickname from peoples' reaction to his abs — or stomach — and who often refers to himself in the third person, as in, “Girls love The Situation,” or, “If you don’t love The Situation, I’m going to make you love The Situation.”
Whatever its charms, the show got to be popular enough that a Google search for the phrase “Snooki got punched” turns up more than 6 million hits. And Desiderio himself generally loves getting publicity for Sea Isle — but not all publicity is good publicity, he said, adding that “Jersey Shore” isn’t “something we would want to portray in our community and have the entire country viewing it.”
But he planned to watch the show for the second time Thursday, to catch that season finale.
Not because he’s such a big fan, Desiderio said, but “I just want to watch it to make sure at the end they don’t say, ‘Let’s go to Sea Isle!’”
