Bank Conditions and Recession Along the U.S. Shorelines of the St. Marys, St. Clair, Detroit and St. Lawrence Rivers: Ancillary Data
Abstract
The analysis of bank conditions and recession along the shorelines of the St. Marys, St. Clair, Detroit and St. Lawrence Rivers was done from 1977 to 1980. As part of that analysis, a large volume of detailed, site-specific field data and photographs were collected to characterize the bank conditions. During the initial boat survey of the Detroit River, the shoreline of Lake St. Clair was observed from Grosse Point Yacht Club to Windmill Point. This shoreline was protected with various types of structures, primarily bulkheads or seawalls. The remainder of the U.S. portion of the lakeshore is greater than three miles away from the navigation channel, well beyond the zone influenced by passing ships. Bank soils maps adapted from the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) soil surveys were prepared for the St. Marys and St. Clair Rivers to provide additional data on bank composition. (SDW)
