The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Duluth are now acting on their plan to remove debris placed on Park Point Beach during 2020 beach nourishment. As a result, the section between 7th Street and 10th Street is now closed.
We have all heard about the metal debris that was found on Park Point Beach a few months ago and now The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Duluth are putting the clean up plan into place with a portion of Park Point blocked off. Right now on Park Point you can see big orange barrels in the sand between 7th and 10th street which is the portion of the beach that is closed.
This past spring some man made metal debris like aluminum cans, nails and even taconite pellets were somehow accidently dumped on the beach last fall when they were dredging it up. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Chief of Construction & Survey Corey Weston said to WDIO Although the material was small, small in relative sake for the amount of material that was placed out there, we aren t discounting that at all, and we re taking that very seriously, and working with the city to develop a plan to get that cleaned up.
