Corps Officials Eye Pass Erosion Problems
U S Army Corps of Engineers officials surveyed erosion along the gulf coast of Destin to East Pass. Col. Patrick J. Kelly and Alton Colvin evaluated damage, with hope summer wave action may aid Panama City Beach. Dredging on East Pass could start by late June or July, pending spoil easement approvals. Coast Guard realigned navigational aids leaving eight feet of water. Funding for East Pass operations and maintenance, $626,000, was discussed in Congress with Earl Hutto urging approval.
