Town to Brief Public on Upcoming Beacon Hill Bluffs Stabilization Project
Monday, August 5 @ 7 p.m., North Hempstead Town Hall
North Hempstead, NY –
Town of North Hempstead
Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Council member Dina De Giorgio have announced an
informative public meeting will be held on Monday, August 5 at 7 p.m. at North
Hempstead Town Hall 220 Plandome Rd Manhasset, NY 11030 to brief the community
on the upcoming Beacon Hill Bluffs stabilization project. All are welcome to
attend.
This project will stabilize the
slopes located at the western end of Hempstead Harbor Wood behind Summit Road.
The project will serve as a long-term solution to stabilize the Beacon Hills
Bluffs, making the bluffs resistant to future erosion and permitting long-term
revegetation of native grasses and trees.
These slopes remain from the
former Colonial Sand and Stone Company property and land formally owned by
Nassau County. This project’s scope of work is similar to the work that
was performed by the Town along the Harbor Links Golf Course when that property
was developed.
The project
will involve removing vegetation and earthen material along the slope face;
regrading earthen material to create a properly pitched and terraced surface
that will minimize future erosion and control storm water runoff; and the
re-vegetation of the slope face with native grasses. The residents of Summit
Road may be impacted by higher than normal noise during work hours. If anyone
has any concerns please attend the meeting on August 5 at 7 p.m.
