of Environmental Protection to dredge the Black Creek and Wreck Pond, which are

During heavy rainfalls, significant pollution from these bodies of water drain
into the ocean, causing beach closures in Spring Lake.� This project should
serve to mitigate this problem and prevent future beach closures.
