Abbreviated Detailed Project Report, Mitigation of Erosion Damages, Delaware River, Pennsville, New Jersey.

Abstract

The purpose of this detailed project study and report was to determine how much shoreline erosion damage was attributable to a dike constructed at Pennsville, NJ on the Delaware River and to investigate possible solutions to the control of the bank erosion. Of the several design alternatives presented it was proposed to reinforce the existing steel bulkhead at Pennsville, NJ by the provision of rubble-toe protection which would have a 13 foot top width at elevation 4.5 NGUD and a face which would extend to the existing ground on a 2:1 slope.
