The North Bayfront Boat Ramp in Seaside Heights, located at Sunset Beach on the bayshore along Route 37\/35, will be replaced with a modern, improved ramp.<\/p>\n

The Seaside Heights borough council on Wednesday voted to accept a $71,625 grant from the state Green Acres program to fund the new ramp installation in time for next summer.<\/p>\n

“It will be a little deeper,” said Borough Administrator Christopher Vaz. “Some of the boats now that bottom out will no longer have that happen.”<\/p>\n

According to a Navionics chart, the depth of the water near the ramp tops out at about 3-feet under natural conditions, but quickly deepens to 11-feet in the channel between the shoreline and a sedge island that is part of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n

“The new ramp will be deeper, and the finished grade of the ramp will be what it\u2019s supposed to be,” said Vaz. “Apparently, there is a grading standard for boat ramps, but ours was built so long ago that it wasn\u2019t really built to any standard.”<\/p>\n

The new ramp will be “completely new,” Vaz said.<\/p>\n
