Delaware environmental officials are preparing to restart sand pumping activities at Indian River Inlet following the completion of a new service agreement.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control finalized a contract on March 3 with First State Crane Service to manage operations of the Indian River Inlet Sand Bypass System. Sand pumping is expected to begin again before the end of March.
The bypass system will work to strengthen beaches and build up dune systems in the area. Both DNREC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will jointly oversee the sand nourishment operations moving forward.
