Cap’n Sams Cut – Today 6/10/2015
R.E. Goodson was on the jobsite at low tide early this morning to remove the dump truck and bulldozer that were submerged in the inlet. Using additional bulldozers, dump trucks and cables, the dump truck was removed at about 7:30am and the bulldozer at approximately 9:15am. Although the fuel had been drained from both vehicles when they became stuck in the inlet, absorbent barriers were positioned around the equipment in the event any fuel was released from the submerged vehicles during removal. Representatives of the Coast Guard, OCRM and SCDHEC were onsite for the entire process and indicated the site was clean and the activity posed no environmental threat.

The stockpiling of sand continues on both sides of the inlet. This will continue until sufficient quantities have been accumulated and the closure can be completed. Our engineering firm is optimistic that it can take place later this week depending on weather and tide cycles.

These are the guys working to stockpile more sand for the next attempt at closing.
The guys in the water I believe are connecting the cables to drag the equipment out tomorrow.
The last one is the new bulldozer coming in for tomorrow’s work.

Cap’n Sams Relocation Project Update: 06/08/15
R.E. Goodson was back on site this morning at 8:00 AM. They began scraping and stockpiling sand. They will continue stockpiling sand until they have enough to begin the closure sequence. The tide conditions are favorable on Thursday and Friday, and they hope to attempt the closure as early as Thursday if they have enough sand stockpiled.
R.E. Goodson will attempt to recover the dump truck and bulldozer that were lost during the first closure attempt on Wednesday morning at low tide by pulling them out using two bulldozers and steel cables. They are bringing in two additional larger bulldozers to help with this recovery and the closure sequence.
All of the fuel and oil was removed from the vehicles by a dive team over the weekend. SCDHEC and the US Coast Guard have visited the site and inspected it for navigation safety and environmental concerns. At no point did the contractor, engineer, or regulatory inspectors find any evidence fuel or oil leaks.

Defibrillator Units Being Replaced
Dennis Nagy, chair of the SIPOA Safety and Security Committee, has announced that the automated external defibrillator units (AEDs) owned by SIPOA are being replaced because the manufacturer will soon stop supporting the older equipment through parts supply. While few of the AEDs have been used, they can be critical to saving the life of someone suffering a cardiac arrhythmia while waiting for emergency responders to arrive.
The AEDS have not only clear visual instructions but also clear audio instructions. They were designed to be simple to use even without any training.
SIPOA owns eight AEDs that are tested daily. Three are located in the Lake House, one in each of the three SIPOA Security vehicles, one at the Oyster Catcher Community Center, and one at the SIPOA Administration Facility on Landfall Way. As no employee is normally at the Oyster Catcher Community Center, the AED there is located outside to the right and around the corner of the building on the outside wall near the pool.
Other AED units on the Island can be found in various high profile locations. Continue reading “Defibrillator Units Being Replaced”

Parking on the grass in front of improved lots is allowed only with the property owners’ permission. Otherwise the vehicle must have all four tires on the road.
To the extent practicable, parked vehicles are to be facing the direction of travel and on one side of the road.
No parking is allowed within 50 feet of all traffic islands and fire hydrants. No permanent street parking on the streets of Seabrook Island.
And as to whether or not you should park, ask yourself “Can an emergency vehicle get through?”

Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 61,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Madison Square Garden, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
