A contract for work that’s the next step in the Sargent Beach breakwater and renourishment pilot study was approved by commissioners court at its regular meeting Monday, Oct. 7.
   “This is the next step” on a multi-phase process to prevent Sargent Beach erosion and to rebuild it, County Judge Nate McDonald said.
   Earlier this year, the study proposed placing five, 442-foot-long barriers – 600 feet apart – in the surf at an eight-foot depth.
   The study also calls for sand renourishment on the beach until that and the barriers restore the beach.
   The contract the county signed Monday for this part of the project with the state General Land Office (GLO) calls for “environmental permitting, engineering design, sand source investigation and public outreach.”
   GLO/CEPRA (Coastal Erosion Planning & Response Act) will fund 60%, or $118,200, of the $197,000 project and the county, as qualified project partner, will pay $78,800.
   McDonald said he was hopeful the project will rebuild the beach, “or what’s left of it.”
