Midtown Palm Beach Summary & Conclusions

• Based on the seven post-nourishment surveys representing approximately 3.5 years since nourishment, the Midtown Beach project has performed quite well.  Of the 880,000 cubic yards placed, there are some 616,800 cubic yards remaining in the placement area.   As of the April 1999 survey, approximately 70% of the volume placed remained in the placement area and 50% of the dry beach plan area were present.  It is evident that the groins are functioning to stabilize the sand placed in the 1995 beach nourishment project.
