Many homeowners along the Jersey Shore are the recipients of a letter from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Bob Martin explaining the importance of creating a dune system and the need for easements to be signed by all oceanfront homes.
Signed easements for a massive federal beach replenishment project are starting to trickle in once again after Long Beach Township posted the names of 63 holdout oceanfront property owners on its municipal website.
Government officials have been planning for a new system of sand dunes along New Jersey's coastline, in order to prevent similar destruction that was caused by Superstorm Sandy, but some homeowners remain opposed to the idea.
It's been months since Superstorm Sandy hit the Garden State, and while the rebuilding process gets underway, some are still trying to assess their damage.
