Ocean County Sites

 

Unconfined Disposal Site

 

154 – Tilton Point #1

155 – Tilton Point #2

 

Tilton Point #’s 1 and 2 are state-owned unconfined disposal sites (UDS).  They are both located southwest of Tilton Point and south of Applegate Cove in Toms River Twp. Site #1 is very small (1.4 acres) and symmetrical.  It is sandy, lightly vegetated and the east side borders the Barnegat Bay. Site #2 is (0.4 miles west) much larger (13 acres) and heavily vegetated.  Any fill is placed far more sporadically and is less defined compared to site #1.  It is a 0.25 mile south of Applegate Cove and can be accessed by land via Pickwick Drive.  This second location might be a combination of selected deposition of sediment among areas of natural uplands emergent through the salt marsh cover.  GPS and sediment data were not collected for either site.
