FIMI Update  
In anticipation of the Thanksgiving holiday next week, we are giving THANKS that the sand placement portion of the FIMI project is nearly complete! It is on track to finish this Saturday, with only 65,000 cubic yards of sand placement to go. When completed, the Pines will have approximately 850,000 cubic yards of additional beach sand. Additionally, the beach will have some 150 cubic yards of sand that will taper off into the National Seashore area between the Pines and Cherry Grove to the west, and the Pines and the National Seashore area to the east of our community.
 
Our daily monitoring of the project, along with daily calls to Weeks Marine, allowed us to stay on top of this project and ensure its completion.





 
But we're not quite finished! Here's what comes next:
  • Once the sand placement is complete, Weeks Marine will remove all of their equipment and sweep the beach to give it a nice, smooth appearance 
  • The rebuilding of the crossover walks will start during the week of December 2nd through late January, depending on the weather 
  • The cut through area at Coast Guard Walk and at the East End will be "paved" with a crushed stone aggregate (timeline TBD) 
  • Sea grass will be planted throughout the dunes (timeline TBD) 
  • Dune fencing will be installed along the beach (timeline TBD) 
To keep up to date on all of these activities, please be sure to follow us on our Facebook page at "Fire Island Pines Property Owners Association"
 
Whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving in the Pines or elsewhere, we wish all of you a wonderful holiday!
