Near-record tides sever boardwalk and flood city - On-Line ...

A2 THE SENTINEL-LEDGER Ocean City. N.J. Thurefliy, Nsvembef 21,1991
Uncertainty remains an beach aid even after tour
OCEAN QTY — A helicopter
tour of the area has
left city official as uncertain
as ever about how much, U
any, the federal government
wUl help with storm
recovery.
Stephen Kempf, regional
director for the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency (Ff MA), toured
Cape May County last
week in ike wake of the
desttucttve Halloween tidal
Storm. He was accompanied
by US. Reps. William
Hughes tod James Saxton
Taken by helicopter to
Ocean Qty, the group went
to 17th Street and the
boardwalk, tiie area of the
aty hardest hit by the
storm,
Interviewed ttiere, Kempf
said FEMA is in the middle
of assessing the amount of
damage, and it is uncertain
how much damage has
been done. He said the
agency has come up with a
preliminary assessment of
$13 million, but said that
number is by no means
final. Cape May County-Has
estimated the total damage
to-public property at $26
million, and to private
property at $30 million.
One of the reasons for the
discrepancy is FEMA's
rules for paying for lost
beach.
According to Marianne
Jackson, spokeswoman for
the agency, loss of beach
sand is only reimbursed if
the municipality lost money
on the beach, and even then
only under specific dreumstances.
It must be an engineered
and improved beach, meaning
it must have been
designed and constructed
using analysis of sand
grains size in order to

determine the size and
shape of the beach berm, or
flat area, and sand must be
added to the beach at least
every five years.
For instance, Sea Isle City,
which has had a beach
maintenance program has
been building dunes for
years, cannot get any
money for lost sand, but
may be able to get reimbursed
for lost dune fencing
and for workers salaries to
replace them, according to
Jackson.
"We treat beaches that
have been engineered like
we would a road or bridge
or anything else a municipality
puts funds toward,"
she said Tuesday. "An engineered
beach we see as a
government facility.*
However, no funding wiU
be available at all unless

"If the president signs
this as a disaster area, the
federal government pays 75
percent of the damage, she
said. "If it's not signed, it's
not a disaster area and so
nothing is paid for."
It is not certain how long
the decision wiU take.

Saxton said thegovemment
