Thanks Mav, Long Island famous ocean shore (and yes, WO'N, NJ's too,) is made up of barrier island with berms on the back (bay side).. any construction that impacts the berms requires an enviromental impact statement and public hearings.. so i have gone to speak about Sound Berms! (talk about confusion!!-- a public meeting on Sound (LI Sound) Berm (construction impact) -- but they left out the Blue!)
