PINE CREEK DREDGING PROJECT BEING PEFORMED

 

PINE CREEK DREDGING PROJECT BEING PEFORMED

 

First Selectman Mike Tetreau announced today that the Town has received a Certificate of Permission from the State of Connecticut to begin dredging Pine Creek. The project will be performed by Coastline Consultants, a contractor which is located in Madison Connecticut. The contractor should begin the project before the end of November with some preparation work possibly beginning the week of November 25, 2013. Actual dredging will occur about a week or two after initial preparation work begins. The dredging will occur for about four to six weeks depending on weather and favorable tides.

 

The dredging project is being performed to remove sand that accumulated in Pine Creek during Storm Sandy.   The Creek will be dredged approximately two feet from the mouth of the creek to an area of current “sand bars”, which is approximately 1200 feet.  The dredge rig includes a 30’ x 40’ barge and a CAT 312 excavator with ¾ cubic yard bucket.  

 

Prior to dredging in the area, the contractor will let the Town and property owners know if vessels or temporary structures have to be moved for access to dredge. There will be a section of the Fairfield Beach Road turnaround located adjacent to 2182 Fairfield Beach Roadthat may be narrowed for transport of removed sand.  About half of the turnaround could be closed or narrowed.

 

For questions or to view the plans and permit, the public can contact or visit the Town’s Engineering Department at 725 Old Post Road or call 203-256-3015. Updated information will be placed on the Town’s website, www.fairfieldct.org.

Dear Eneida–Photos from a public place

Dear Eneida is a new feature I’m starting on DongItLocal.com to help educate citizens on their rights as citizens.  Newly elected City Council Member of Bridgeport, she has tried to silence us on our reporting because of an image we posted on a public street she did not like.  This is your elected official Bridgeport, she does not know her U.S. Constitution even though she swore to uphold it in her oath of office.  

From the very liberal American Civil Liberties Union website: ” Taking photographs of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is a constitutional right – and that includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties. ”  

They also say: “When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view. That includes pictures of federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police. Such photography is a form of public oversight over the government and is important in a free society”.

Eneida tried to suppress my ability to report to you.  Bridgeport, she is your newly elected official to the city council.  Bridgeport needs help in getting jobs to citizens, lowering taxes to those that pay. Do you have the time for “On The Job Training” on basic rights for an “activist”? 

I will continue these features to educate you and the public officials on what your rights truly are.
