Feasibility Study of Shoreline Protection and Lake Level Regulation for Lake Ontario. Reconnaissance Report. Volume I. Main Report.

Abstract

This report identifies problems and needs along the United States shoreline of Lake Ontario associated with shore erosion and coastal flooding. The report includes a survey of existing conditions including those associated with the natural and human environment. Alternatives are formulated to address the needs and include lake level vegetation and standard structural and nonstructural shoreline protection measures. Significant flood and erosion areas are identified based on dollar damages and the feasibility of protection considered based on the costs of protection. Several areas were identified where shoreline protection may be feasible. (Author)
