Around 130,000 cubic yards of sand, dredged from the Moriches Inlet, has already been placed at the mentioned area, stated Aphrodite Montalvo, the spokeswoman for the DEC.
She added that a total of 200,000 cubic yards will be pumped onto the Cupsogue Beach by the time the job is wrapped up on Friday, reports westhampton-hamptonbays.patch.com.
