Poison Ivy Removal - Total, Complete ?

viz: I want to store a kayak on that spot. It's higher than the beach by several feet and therefore less susceptible to storm action. I'm hyper-sensitive to poison ivy, so I need to clear that spot out in such a way that working there (as in burying a dry-land "Anchor", placing the support blocks for the kayak, and repeatedly placing/retrieving the kayak won't leave me with poison ivy. This is coastal Southern New Jersey - where poison ivy *really* thrives... I can think of whole areas that seem to be held together by the stuff. That's a hotel in the background so burning is probably not an option - although if somebody says liberal application of a flame weeder will do the trick that might be doable. This does not have to happen tomorrow, or next week, or even next month. Storm season is coming and it's probably best to wait until next spring to actually place the kayak. Meanwhile, I'd like to kill that poison ivy, have it stay killed, and not get a case of the stuff preparing/using the site. Short-term, there's no need for any vegetation at all to survive in that area. Long term, I'd try to plant it with beach grass and fertilize it hoping to maintain a poison ivy-free/erosion-free zone. Anybody have a plan?

In my dreams.

The real question is "Who cares"... and the answer so far has been "Nobody".
