Capers,
As you know we announced the beginning of the Little Magothy River Dredge last week. This is an AA County/ State of MD Waterway Improvement Funding Grant on behalf of the Little Magothy River Association (LMRA) and their SCBD, which roughly 70% of the homes are in platted lots of Cape St. Claire.
Last week's announcement link if you missed it:

Given the time of year restrictions from a regulatory standpoint in the State of Maryland for dredging different points of the channel, we wanted to let Capers know, we have come to agreement with the Contractor, Shoreline Design on parking some equipment during the dredge project (approx. two months).
We will allow up to two excavators to be parked on the beach (sand portion) of Main Beach. (See Picture)
When necessary and to help increase the efficiency of the project (saving the county/ state potentially money or time), we felt it was a good project to support. We benefited from the last dredge and hope to be recipients again in future maintenance dredges with LMRA as long term partners in co-beneficial reuse dredging.
The contractor will "walk" the equipment off a barge and on to the beach using mats and park them landward of Mean High Water Line (see designated area of use in photo circle). There will be no activity other than loading and unloading equipment and all liability falls to the contractor per our agreement among other stipulations.
Please keep off all equipment, it will be marked and signs posted, but please if you see them loading/ unloading, stay safely away until they are completed their task.
Also you may see contractors vehicles parked near the overlook. On Monday, they parked on the walkway to the beach, tomorrow and beyond they will park in a way that does not impede the flow of foot traffic, we apologize for any inconvenience on Monday.
