During active construction, the majority of these beaches will remain open and available for the public to enjoy.

The public will be able to track the progress of the project on a real time basis located on the Charleston District’s web mapper ( ). “While we acknowledge that people may see temporary inconveniences while the project is underway, the project has many long-term benefits, especially during storm season.” “The storm damage reduction project aims to minimize the impacts to people and property behind the dunes in a storm event,” said Wes Wilson, project manager.

Last year, North Myrtle, Garden City and Surfside Beaches received 1.3 million cubic yards of sand using emergency funding made available after impacts from Hurricane Matthew. This storm damage reduction project goes along with the regularly scheduled plan for this area which is to place sand on the beach every 8 years. The project will be completed no later than December 15th.

Details on the starting location and direction the project will move in have not yet been finalized. The nourishment will include approximately eight miles on Myrtle Beach, four miles on Surfside and Garden City Beaches and two miles on North Myrtle Beach.
