If sand has accreted above the dune design elevation, will the Corps still add more sand on the dune?

Sand will only be placed up to the design elevations.  If the existing area has accreted above or to the design elevation at the time that the final design is completed, then no sand will be placed on that dune.

For more detail on the specific areas where dunes and berms are to be built, maps of the Project areas, as well as all Project documents, are available on the USACE website at: https://www.nan.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Projects-in-New-York/Fire-Island-to-Montauk-Point/
