U.S. Army Corps of Engineeres is Ignoring Local Laws to Build a Massive Sandbag Revetment in Montauk

"Under a 2007 town law that divides the shoreline into four zones, as well as an earlier policy, the project, which involves approximately 14,500 sandbags and thousands of tons of fill placed on the beach for an indefinite period, is prohibited. A provision that would allow a short-term, six-month alternative with a possible one-time extension has not been invoked." - excerpt from article in The East Hampton Star.
