Corps of Engineers replenish eroding shoreline near Cathlamet

Dec 13, 2019

Waterfront residents at Cape Horn can rest easier now that their eroding beach has been restored with sand dredged from the Columbia River navigation channel.

The Project added enough sand to about half a mile of the cape to extend the beach by about 125 feet into the river. Grette Associates completed the aquatic permitting for this project and three more like it in Wahkiakum County.
