Commissioner Bird couldn't imagine how unattractive these <br />breakwaters would be sticking out of the water at low tide and <br />exposing all the barnacles and algae. <br />Mr. Donaldson explained that if we want to stop the erosion, <br />we need to make the reefs taller. <br />Jeremy Kraft, director of the Division of Environmental <br />Resource Permitting, of the Department of Environmental Protection, <br />advised that his motive in coming down here today is to see if we <br />couldn't come to some resolution on this and move forward. <br />Certainly, sitting here and debating the issues doesn't solve <br />erosion problems. Whether or not the PEP reef will solve the <br />erosion problem is a matter of debate, but there is one sure way to <br />find out. He did not expect the agency to change requirements for <br />the reef, but he preferred to work together rather than have <br />antagonistic efforts. Mr. Kraft stated he would like to see us <br />move toward issuance of a permit so this reef can be constructed if <br />that is the County's desire. <br />Mr. Kraft referred to the following letter written by Paden E. <br />Woodruff, senior engineer, dated 3/24/95: <br />-- — --- - <br />B.ce March 24, 1995 t,5Z`Z7t�g; <br />ug.

As indicated in this correspondence, the Bureau <br />can review the data to determine an appropriate erosion rate. It <br />will be necessary to obtain the 1993 data in digitized form, <br />(i.e., on floppy disk). The data should be formatted to include <br />distance from the monument and elevation relative to NGVD. The <br />data should be -'accompanied by control information, including <br />MARCH 28, 1995 <br />L <br />23 <br />BOOK 94 mu 70 <br />
