The applicant, NASA, proposes to use “dredge material to nourish the shoreline.” Six rubble mound break- waters would be installed to restore the shoreline to pre-Hurricane Sandy conditions. “Restoration is necessary as the existing seawall is being un- dermined due to little or no protective sand beach remaining in the proposed work area,” the notice stated. An estimated 1.3 million cubic yards of sand would be placed along about 19,850 feet of shoreline. “The beach fill material will come from ex- cavating and performing minor dredg- ing at the north Wallops Island beach.” The proposal involves dredg- ing 37,515 cubic yards of sand from the north-end of Wallops Island and Photo by Linda Cicoira would impact 31 acres of land sea- Cape Charles Puts on the Glitz for Christmas ward of mean high water, the notice Festive Fridays, Cape Charles’ month-long Friday night holiday celebrations, are in full swing.

  • Statewide Rail Plan December 2009 5-1 5. the VIRGINIA RAIL SYSTEM
    Statewide Rail Plan 5. THE VIRGINIA RAIL SYSTEM 5.1. FRA Requirements This Chapter of the VSRP presents information related to Virginia’s entire rail system as required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2) and 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(6). The data required by the section is presented differently than stated in the requirement, to conform to the methodology used in the VTrans2035 documents. Virginia’s VTrans2035 methodology uses corridors connecting portions of Virginia and the surrounding states to define needs and programs. For the rail system, these corridors mirror the Class I high density freight lines. The requirement of 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2) is fulfilled by the Official State Railroad Map that is presented at a reduced scale in Figure 5-2. The data required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2)(i) is presented in figures 5-5 Class I Railroads and 5-10 Shortline Railroads. The data required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2)(ii) is presented in figures 5-8 and 5-9 that depict the tonnage within Virginia and the tonnage passing through Virginia. The data required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2)(iii) is presented in figure 5-13 Passenger routes in Virginia. The final requirement of 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2) is fulfilled by the narratives presented throughout this chapter discussion the transportation corridor, the passenger service, the Class 1 freight activity, and the Shortline Railroad profiles. 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(6) requires, to the extent that the data is available to Virginia, detailed information about specific lines.
