ALLEN ROAD LIVING SHORELINE POST CONSTRUCTION REPORT
The BSHCA “Living Shoreline” was completed 5:30 PM Sunday May 1, 2011 as the goose netting was installed around the entire 424 lineal feet perimeter of the project.
We had 85 volunteers Saturday including Mayor Varano and various council members, BSHCA members, Girl Scout Troop 94, Potter School children and local residents.
We had 41 volunteers on Sunday including the Superintendant of Central Regional, the Central Regional baseball team and their girlfriends, BSHCA members and local residents.
Close to 400 photographs were taken by Nancy Wieme our webmaster and BSHCA Director and can be seen on our website at: http://www.berkeleyshores.org

Our grant source allowed our one third share for the cost of the project to be paid by labor at $15 per hour per worker/volunteer.
The cost breakdown amounts to 85 volunteers times $15 times 4 hours (average) equals $5,100.00 for Saturday. 41 volunteers times $15 times 4 hours (average) equals $2,460.00 for Sunday. This totals $7,560.00 which more than covers our share of the cost.
The Barnegat Bay Partnership utilizing federal grant sources, covered the cost of the materials which amounted to almost $7,000.00. Berkeley Township covered the cost for the state and federal permits. Berkeley Shores Homeowners and Civic Association besides organizing the project, covered the cost for refreshments (coffee, donuts, pizza, water, etc.) and contingency materials such as gloves, shovels, fertilizer, wire, equipment rental, etc.
