USACE AJD10026, 2005, New Jersey - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

USACE AJD10026, 2005, NJ, is a US Army Corps of Engineers survey disk located in the sidewalk near the northwest corner of a municipal dock on the northwest bank of Arthur Kill (the channel that separates the northeast corner of Staten Island from New Jersey) in Elizabethport, NJ. The disk is mounted flush with the surface in the southeast corner of a sidewalk that forms a square walkway about 30 feet on a side. It is stamped USACE SURVEY MARK AJD10026 EST 2005 A JAMES DE BRUIN & SONS, and has an etched triangle and punch hole in the center. It is located about 18 feet southwest of an iron fence that runs along the northeast edge of the sidewalk, about 15 feet southwest of the described location for chiseled cross B+O 13 PID = KV6462 (Not found), about four feet northwest of the most northeastern concrete-filled iron post that supports a chain fence, about three feet northwest of the northwest edge of the wooden boardwalk/dock, and at handheld coordinates N40-38.805 W074-11.135. The disk was set in 2005 by A James De Bruin & Sons, probably under a USACE contract and probably to replace the chiseled cross at PID = KV6462. It is in neither the NGS nor Geocaching databases.

To reach from Exit 13A off the New Jersey Turnpike, follow signs for Jersey Gardens Blvd and take the Blvd southeast under the Turnpike to the intersection with 3rd Street about 0.4 miles southeast of the Turnpike underpass. Turn right and go southwest on 3rd Street for about 0.97 miles to the intersection with East Jersey Street. Turn left and go southeast on East Jersey Street for about 0.42 miles to the T-intersection with Front Street. Cross Front Street and enter the parking area for the municipal dock. Park and walk to the northeast corner of the parking area, the square walkway and the station in the southeast corner of the square walkway.

Recovery of this station was first logged at the Geocaching datasheet for station B+O 13, PID = KV6462.
