Ordinance about ordnance
After removing 1,111 pieces of potentially explosive military ordnance from the sand and surf, the United States Army Corps of Engineers is ready to declare the beaches here (Surf City) and in neighboring Ship Bottom safe and recommend that they be reopened in time for Memorial Day.
So, once the State Department of Environmental Protection approves, the “Beach Closed” signs will come down. But in their place will be new signs prohibiting beachgoers from using metal detectors or digging deeper than a foot into the sand. These “land-use controls” will be posted at every entrance and on every lifeguard stand along the 1.4 miles of affected beach on Long Beach Island.

No worries. The U S Department of Defense, under the campaign of 'Enduring Freedom', has just set fire to southern New Jersey forcing the closure of Exit 63 and therefore securing and safeguarding the beaches of LBI.
