Belmar A Scene of Debris Removal, Pumped Lake, Detours

Belmar continued to push forward on clean-up and rebuild more than a month after Hurricane Sandy.

Construction equipment lined the pumped-out Silver Lake, where inches of black mud lined the lakefront nearly up to the sidewalk. On the beachfront, debris removal continued as front loaders and bulldozers pushed around sand and hauled off garbage.

A sifter along the beachfront had sand pouring through it, removing large and fine particles that was mixed up in the mess, and was creating a new pile of clean sand to be used.
