Unconfined Disposal Site

 

162 – Middle Sedge

 

Middle Sedge is a state-owned unconfined disposal site (UDS) located on Middle Thorofare in Toms River Township. It is a very small site consisting of just 0.25 acres of dredge material.  The dredge material placed consists of one small symmetrical pile as well as sporadic placement along the eastern shores of the Thorofare. Moderate vegetation has developed along this region which also is positioned adjacent to Chadwick Beach Island.  It is likely that this was a side-cast material placement site during the development and/or dredging around Chadwick Beach Island.  GPS and sediment data were not collected for the site.
