Thought I had posted this, but maybe not.

The below is an Email I sent back on July 30th to a HOBO member who inquired about Sand Island.

Just spoke with XXXXXXXXXXXX regarding Sand Island and here is an update.

Russell Lands has agreed to supply the boulders to front Sand Island. They really would like to do this once and not just place another bandage, as has been done in the past. So what the issue is now is how to get the boulders over to the island, as with the current water level they cannot get a barge over to the island. So right now project is on hold.

Supposedly, others have tried rip rap, sand bags and even a wood sea wall, but all have failed and so Russell does not want to go this route and have to fix again in 5 years or so.

Anyway, appears the project is sitting idle till somebody figures out a way to get the boulders and excavator over to the island at the current water level or the water rises to allow such.

FYI - Russell Lands owns Sand Island per APCo.
