Holiday Charity

All event proceeds will be going to HomeFront

HomeFront’s mission is to end homelessness in Central New Jersey by harnessing the caring, resources, and expertise of the community. They lessen the immediate pain of homelessness and help families become self-sufficient. They work to give their clients the skills and opportunities to ensure adequate incomes, and they work to increase the availability of adequate, affordable housing. They help homeless families advocate for themselves individually and collectively. Find out more on their website! https://www.homefrontnj.org/

As we are not able to host a toy and book collection drive this year, we are asking attendees to consider donating to make the holiday season a little brighter for local children and teens!

You can donate by registering and entering a donation amount on the registration form. There is a "Donation ONLY" registration type for those who do not wish to attend the event.

Project Description

TWT’s challenge was to provide the size and shape of a new spillway and discharge structure that would pass flows from a 100-year storm event and prevent dam overtopping from storms up to the 0.50 Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). The existing dam was classified as a Class 2 Significant Hazard dam, but had a drastically undersized spillway and structure opening with the ability to only pass flows from a 25-year storm event without dam overtopping. The project was to be constructed while maintaining two-way traffic on Route 30 at all times, while providing the potential for 4 lanes of one-way traffic during hurricane season, as Route 30 is a designated shore evacuation route. Due to environmental restrictions, the normal pool elevation of Blue Anchor was to be maintained throughout construction.
