Shoreline Stabilization Design and Wetland Restoration
Abstract
The Shoreline Stabilization and Wetland Restoration Project was a cooperative effort between the United States Air Force, Langley Air Force Base (LAFB) and the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). The project was for the design of shoreline stabilization and potential wetland restoration at five sites within LAFB. DCR would further expand the cooperative effort by contracting with Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF) and The Coastal Engineering Centre at Old Dominion University for design solutions at the sites. The project addressed LAFB desire to develop cooperative projects with DCR to become an active participant in improving water quality in the Chesapeake Bay. The project addresses the "Action Items for the Chesapeake Bay Program" of September 14,1993 developed by the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency on April 20, 1990. The specific Goals of the Action Plan addressed are "Restore and Protect Living Resources" and "Improve Water Quality". The proposed shoreline stabilization planning is proposed in conjunction with the 1998 Federal Agencies Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem Unified Plan initiatives as well as the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement.
