VILLAS — Work has begun to bring saltwater into Cox Hall Creek through a pipe into Delaware Bay and with two floodgates.
Pilings have been sunk on the beach for a 400-foot pipe which will extend into Delaware Bay.
The project was 11 years in the making and was tied up for a period while the state Division of Fish and Wildlife waited for a Tide Land Management permit.
Brian O’Connor, a GIS specialist with the county Planning Department, said a lot of organizations have been involved with the project including both the U.S. and state Fish and Wildlife services, Lower Township Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA), Lower Township, Ducks Unlimited, and county Mosquito Department.
A total 44 acres of the property were mowed which is visible from the “S” turn on Clubhouse Drive.
