正文语种：	eng
摘要：	The Galveston Engineer District is partnering with state and local officials to bring a new round of fresh sand to Galveston Island's Babe's Beach. The district is working with the Galveston Park Board of Trustees, the City of Galveston and the Texas General Land Office on an ongoing effort to maintain and protect Galveston's beaches, all at no additional cost to local residents. "The replenishment of Babe's Beach, which begins west of 61st Street, is scheduled to start this summer," Andrew Cook, an operations manager with the Galveston Engineer District said. "To support this project, we are placing the sand- called Beneficial Use of Dredge Material (BUDM)-from our required dredging of Galveston's ship channel to replenish this beach area. The BUDM is dredged and collected into a dredging ship, which is then pumped through pipes from the dredging ship onto the beach. Up to 950,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand harvested from the dredging project will be used to renourish Babe's Beach."
