Hollywood / Hallandale Summary & Conclusions

 
From the Broward County Department of Natural Resouce Protection 1996 Report (Reference)
  • In November of 1994, Tropical Storm Gordon caused significant (67,500 cubic yards) volume losses to the project area.  Overall, the beach performed well during the storm and protected the Hollywood/Hallandale beachfront from storm wave damages.
From the Broward County Department of Natural Resouce Protection 1997 Report (Reference)
  • Forty-nine percent of the fill, or 543,132 cubic yards remains within the project area and the project shoreline has receded an average of 14.0 feet per year, approximately five years after the renourishment.  The decrease in erosion rate indicates that the project fill may be stabilizing to a constant erosion rate.  In areas within the project, specifically the end areas, between R101 to R104 and R122 to R124, where the beach has eroded severely.  If erosion and shoreline recession continues at the present rate the beachfront at these areas may be subject to storm wave damage.
