Mile 291 Report
Camp Magruder north, Watseco, Twin Rocks SW
June 12, 2021
Report Details
Conditions
Temperature: 64 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Direction: SW. Tide Level: 0.7 feet.
Human Activities
Storefront homeowners at Pine Beach Loop have cut down trees and removed limbs in many others from the bottom to just below a few top branches. This has occurred over a number of years, but has become highly pertinent in the present time, due to their application for a Goal 18 revetment. Having violated Ocean Shore rules, they are now seeking artificial protective measures to remediate their actions which have created additional exposure to more damage from erosion.
Concerns
Apparent violations: OAR 736-023 Statutory Vegetation Line.
Actions & Comments
Submitted public comments opposing their exception application.
