2 beaches along Ruston Way closed for sewage-overflow checks

Posted on by

Two beaches along Ruston Way are closed as officials investigate whether Mondays storm caused the City of Tacomas sewage system to overflow.

Published: Nov. 21, 2012 at 3:46 p.m. PST Updated: Nov. 21, 2012 at 3:46 p.m. PST

Two beaches along Ruston Way are closed as officials investigate whether Mondays storm caused the City of Tacomas sewage system to overflow.

The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has posted warning signs at Jack Hyde and Dickman Mill parks. They will remain closed until the health department does further testing next week to check for contamination.

The City of Tacoma had alerted state officials that a sewage spill was possible because of heavy rains earlier this week. A follow-up investigation after the storm indicated there was no overflow, a finding supported by a bacterial analysis of the water in the sewer systems overflow vault.

The closures are a precautionary measure, the city said in a press release.

It is better to err on the side of caution in these events to ensure public health and safety, said Michael Slevin, the interim director of Tacomas Environmental Services Department.

NJ Beaches After Sandy 30 To 40 Feet Narrower, Study Says

Posted on by

Posted: November 20, 2012

NJ beaches were one of the first known casualties of Hurricane Sandy, and, even as she raged outside, footage of the devastation shocked locals as well as those watching globally.

NJ beaches along with coastal areas in New York were very hard hit by Sandys resultant floods. Damage to structures on the shore was heavily documented with images of Atlantic City and Asbury Park emerging as hallmarks of the horrors wrought by Sandy upon the region.

But, as Sandy plowed through the Northeast, NJ beaches remained under water after the massive flooding came in, making initial damage assessments difficult to gauge. Now thefloodwaterhas receded, and environmental experts are free to make assessments about how to best preserve beaches to prevent further erosion to coastal regions ahead of future disasters reigniting a debate about whether allocating funds for such measures is prudent or necessary.

A study conducted on NJ beaches after Sandy reveals that on average, 30 to 40 feet of coastline disappeared in her wake, except, says beach erosion expertStewart Farrell, director of Stockton Colleges Coastal Research Center, those that had recently been shored up with sand to prevent such a happenstance from occurring.

Farrell says that fiscal concerns aside, the measure is effective at preventing beach loss and explains:

It really, really works Where there was a federal beach fill in place, there was no major damage no homes destroyed, no sand piles in the streets. Where there was no beach fill, water broke through the dunes.

TheNew York Daily News reports that the programs to preserve NJ beaches and others at risk of erosion and sand loss are not without their detractors though.Sen. Tom Coburn, (R-OK), classed the spending as wasteful pork in a 2009 report titled Washed Out To Sea, and he said:

NJ Beaches After Sandy 30 To 40 Feet Narrower, Study Says

As tourists return, local beaches recover slowly

Posted on by

By Chuck Weber/CBS 12

As the holiday weekend approaches and tourists flock to our area, our beaches are still battered thanks to Hurricane Sandy.

But since the storm passed last month and gave beaches a beating, sand has started to wash back up. Many beaches are now wider, but the height-- or elevation-- of beaches and dunes will take much longer to come back.

"The storm definitely made them more vulnerable, because it did lower the elevation," explained Dan Bates, deputy director of Palm Beach County's Environmental Resources Management department.

"That means when we get high tides like we're having right now, and you get some good-sized waves, or you get one of these Norther (storms) coming in-- it can have additional impacts," said Bates.

Where beaches and dunes are depleted, local cities and counties may step in with emergency restoration projects. Work is already underway at Coral Cove County Park in Tequesta and on Singer Island-- even without a disaster declaration from the federal government.

"FEMA does allow for work that's considered to be critical for infrastructure protection and mitigation, or safety," said Bates. Local governments hope to ultimately receive reimbursement from the feds or the state.

Palm Beach County estimates Sandy caused $24 million in damage to beaches and beach structures on public land. There were millions in additional damage to private seawalls and structures.

"There's still plenty of beach out there," emphasized Bates. "It's just that we're going to have to keep maintaining them over time."

Some NJ beaches now 50 percent smaller

Two women walk along the shore where new sand is in place at the beach in Seaside Heights, N.J., on Nov. 18.

By Wayne Parry, The Associated Press

The average New Jersey beach is 30 to 40 feet narrower after Superstorm Sandy, according to a survey that is sure to intensify a long-running debate on whether federal dollars should be used to replenish stretches of sand that only a fraction of U.S. taxpayers use.

Some of New Jersey's famous beaches lost half their sand when Sandy slammed ashore in late October.

The shore town of Mantoloking, one of the hardest-hit communities, lost 150 feet of beach, said Stewart Farrell, director of Stockton College's Coastal Research Center and a leading expert on beach erosion.

Routine storms tear up beaches in any season, and one prescription for protecting communities from storm surge has been to replenish beaches with sand pumped from offshore. Places with recently beefed-up beaches saw comparatively little damage, said Farrell, whose study's findings were made available to The Associated Press.

"It really, really works," Farrell said. "Where there was a federal beach fill in place, there was no major damage no homes destroyed, no sand piles in the streets. Where there was no beach fill, water broke through the dunes."

The beach-replenishment projects have been controversial both for their expense and because waves continually wash away the new sand. The federal government picks up 65 percent of the cost, with the rest coming from state and local coffers.

How big the beaches are or whether there is a beach at all to go to is a crucial question that must be resolved before the summer tourism season. The Jersey shore powers the state's $35.5 billion tourism industry.

Grand Canyon Flood Underway to Rebuild Beaches

Posted on by

The Colorado River cascaded in a flood from the Glen Canyon Dam Monday (Nov. 19), the first step in an ongoing experiment to rebuild beaches and fish habitat in the iconic Grand Canyon.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar opened the dam's bypass tubes at noon Mountain Time, releasing a spectacular display of gushing water. The six-day flood started ramping up Sunday night (Nov. 18) at 11 p.m. MT, and the peak-flow of 42,000 cubic feet (1,189 cubic meters) per second is scheduled to last from 9 p.m. Monday night through 10 p.m. on Tuesday, according to a statement from the Bureau of Reclamation.

"This is truly an historic milestone for the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, and the United States Bureau of Reclamation," Salazar said. "This new protocol developed by Reclamation will protect both the Grand Canyon and the delivery of water for communities, agriculture and industry," he said.

The water release from Glen Canyon Dam is the first of many simulated floods planned by the Department of the Interior through 2020. The floods, or "high-flows," are an effort to restore the river's natural environment for both tourists and wildlife in the Grand Canyon.

"These high-flow releases, a new paradigm in water management, recognize that there are hugely beneficial impacts to river ecology from releasing the requisite water needed downstream in large pulses, rather than uniformly throughout the year," said U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt.

Officials hope to deposit sediment high along the walls of the Grand Canyon, away from the river's reach at lower water levels. Before Glen Canyon Dam's completion in 1966, the Colorado River supplied more than 90 percent of the sediment forming the canyon's beaches and sandbars, popular stops for tourists and river rafters.

Currently, sand and mud piles up behind the dam and natural beaches and sandbars have disappeared, allowing predatory non-native fish such as rainbow trout to flourish.

Vegetation, once buried or ripped away during periodic floods, now grows over riverside camping sites. And the National Park Service believes erosion threatens some archaeological sites.

Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: The climate change issue has been virtually a non-issue during the presidential campaign but it's primed to take a higher profile after the elections, in part due to Hurricane Sandy's horrific aftermath.

Evidence for Catastrophe - Lawrence Joseph - Coast to Coast AM Classic
http://www.jetnews.us Date: 02-08-07 Host: George Noory Guests: Lawrence Joseph Author Lawrence Joseph discussed how a variety of knowledge he gathered from around the world led him to conclude that humankind is soon to face major earth changes and catastrophe. Storms and intense activity on the sun are on the rise and connected with quakes and upheaval on the Earth, he said. For instance, in September 2005 there were unprecedented storms on the sun, and this was also the time of hurricanes such as Katrina and Rita. Meeting with Russian scientists in Siberia, he was told that our entire Solar System is passing through an interstellar energy cloud and this would bring on a global cataclysm within less than a decade. He also investigated the deterioration of the Earth #39;s magnetic field, interviewing scientists at a South African Magnetic Observatory. The Mayans had a precise system of astronomy, and their calendar which ends in 2012, completed the largest cycle of time they could graph, Joseph noted. They saw the center of our galaxy as a navel, and warned of a great disruption on Earth when the Sun aligns with the galactic center, he explained. As to the time frame for such an event, one shaman told him it would happen like "the deepening of twilight." Biography: Lawrence Joseph has written on science, nature, politics and business for the past twenty five years. In 1990, he published Gaia: The Growth of an Idea, exploring the Gaia Hypothesis that the global ecosystem adjusts and ...From:C2CPlanetViews:13 0ratingsTime:01:53:58More inEducation

Slaves to Superstition – The Enemies of Reason – Video

Slaves to Superstition - The Enemies of Reason
Dawkins points to some of science #39;s achievements and describes it as freeing most people from superstition and dogma. Picking up from his superstition-reason distinction in The Root of All Evil? (while recycling some footage from it), he then says reason is facing an "epidemic of superstition" that "impoverishes our culture" and introduces gurus that persuade us "to run away from reality". He calls the present day dangerous times. He returns to science #39;s achievements, including the fact that, by extending people #39;s lifespan, it helps them to take more advantage of life. He turns his attention to astrology, which he criticizes for stereotyping without evidence. Having put astrology to the test and referred to larger-scale experiments, he then briefly describes the mechanics of astronomy, and then expresses frustration that 50% of the UK population -- more than are members of one religion -- believe in the paranormal.From:davemark07Views:0 0ratingsTime:43:50More inScience Technology
