The prohibitions are on introducing contaminants and causing turbidity not on the sand itself, so use your judgement as to whether the sand you are getting is appropriate. Beyond that consider slope and wave action when select coarse vs fine sand.
Shore Things, could you list the DEP or RSA # that, that is listed under. I use to have it, but they have changed the site around and I can't locate it now. I know it also states the time period between the time one can replenish the sand, something like 3 years. We always use washed sand which helps reduce the chances of any bacteria etc in it. for any info that you maybe able to pass on.
