UOK <br />While there has been some minor opposition to beach scrapping the general consensus that it is a <br />worthwhile procedure provided the scrapping is limited to a 1 foot or so depth at any one time. <br />We would request that the County Commission immediately authorize beach scrapping for these <br />critically eroded areas. The County's Coastal Engineer, Jeff Taber can monitor the procedure. <br />The property owners would hire the required equipment and pay all costs. <br />I understand many other beachfront property owners, including the developers of Orchid Island. <br />Windsor and the Town of Orchid, support this emergency measure. <br />I would like to take this opportunity to thank the County Commission, particularly Chairman <br />Macht, for allowing us to be added to the September 2 V agenda and I look forward to addressing <br />you at that time. Thank you for your kind attention. <br />RECEIVED <br />Thomas H.
