Anviron Prepares for Beach Erosion From Hurricane Ike
The Anviron Holding Company (Pinksheets:ANVH) (“Anviron”), a manufacturer and marketer of “Clean & Green” products and technology, today announced the repositioning of its environmental damage and restoration teams to Southwest Houston in preparation of Hurricane Ike making landfall in Texas over the weekend.
As the waves from Hurricane Ike come closer to shore and the Texas beach communities prepare for massive erosion damage, homeowners are scrambling to figure out what to do when the public beaches recede into the Gulf and private property is placed directly in harm’s way. Places like Surfside, Texas have seen some of the worst erosion on the Gulf coast in recent years and they face the wrath of Hurricane Ike without any natural protections. The Dunes are gone, salt grass missing and the homes sit at the water’s edge on stilts. Anviron’s damage assessment teams are preparing to enter the area shortly after the hurricane and assist in damage assessment for the local, state and federal governments.
Our assessment teams have spent the last three weeks going up and down the east cost and in the vicinity of New Orleans evaluating the storm damage from Tropical Storm Hanna and Hurricane Gustov for the development of next year’s project proposals. Beach erosion damage in Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina’s have been estimated at more than $312.6 million. FEMA officials had asked for a rough estimate, as a potential starting point for the damage costs. Example of some of the worst damage is in the area around New Smyrna Beach, Florida were they lost about 50 feet width of beach from the storm, said Volusia coastal division director Joe Nolin.
Anviron’s proprietary technology has been designed over the last 11 years to directly fix the problems and circumstances surrounding the eroded and highly saline property caused by Hurricanes and winter storms surge and extensive wave action. “Our people have been repositioned to SW Houston to again assist in the assessment of damage caused by these storms,” said Mark Whitermore — Marketing and Sales Manager for Anviron.
