. Beach changes at Atlantic City, New Jersey (1962-73). Beach erosion; Coast changes. Additional short-term changes that primarily affect the upper sections of the profiles result from the periodic removal of sand from under the Boardwalk (see Figs. 40, 41, and 42) for use as fill elsewhere on the beach (see Fig. 43). Although this procedure has been observed, it is not well documented in terms of frequency or quantities of material transferred.

Although this procedure has been observed, it is not well documented in terms of frequency or quantities of material transferred. The project during the winter and spring of 1979 was done by the City and called for the removal of 36,600 cubic meters of sand from under the Boardwalk near profile line 7 (Richmond to Raleigh Avenues) (M. Ingram, City Engineer, personal communica- tion, March 1979). This material was then placed on the foreshore midway between profile lines 4 and 5. Because of the relatively fine size of this well-sorted sand ( millimeter compared with millimeter reported by Ramsey and Galvin, 1977, for average foreshore sand size in March), the mate- rial would probably be easily eroded from the beach Figure 40. Borrow site under Boardwalk at Richmond Avenue on 9 March 1979. Note amount of sand removed by comparison to sand still evident behind and under Boardwalk (compare also to Fig. 39)..
