I just received word about the Army Corps' plans to dredge the Intracoastal in 2010 to renourish St. Augustine Beach. I knew about the plans to dredge the St. Augustine Inlet, but did not know about the Intracoastal. I have more details here. Below is a map showing where they plan to dredge. It does not show up well, so let me know if you'd like me to e-mail you a copy. Basically it is up and down the Intracoastal by the St. Augustine Inlet. There will be a public meeting at 3 p.m. on Nov. 17th at St. Augustine Beach City Hall.

On Tuesday, September 16, 2008, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners will review funding and budget requests for beach restoration. The meeting starts at 9 a.m. at the county auditorium at 4020 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine, FL.

According to the agenda for the meeting:
