Shoreline stabilization definition
Shoreline stabilization includes actions taken to address erosion impacts to property and dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural processes, such as current, flood, wind, or wave action. These actions include structural and nonstructural methods. Nonstructural methods include building setbacks, relocation of the structure to be protected, groundwater management, and planning and regulatory measures to avoid the need for structural stabilization.
Shoreline stabilization means actions taken to address erosion impacts to
Shoreline stabilization means modifications to the existing shoreline intended to reduce or prevent erosion of uplands or beaches and/or influence wave action, currents and/or the natural transport of sediments along the shoreline. Shoreline stabilization measures may consist of:
Examples of Shoreline stabilization in a sentence
Shoreline stabilization shall be designed so that net loss of ecological functions does not occur.
Shoreline stabilization means actions taken to prevent or mitigate erosion impacts to property, dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural shoreline processes such as currents, floods, tides, wind or wave action.
Shoreline stabilization includes structural armoring approaches such as bulkheads and revetments and nonstructural approaches such as bio-engineering.
Shoreline stabilization includes actions taken to address erosion impacts to property and dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural processes, such as current, flood, wind, or wave action.
Shoreline stabilization standards can be found in WAC 173-26-231(3)(a)(iii).
More Definitions of Shoreline stabilization
Shoreline stabilization means nonstructural modifications to the existing shoreline intended to reduce or prevent erosion of uplands or beaches and/or influence wave action, currents and/or the natural transport of sediments along the shoreline. This includes use of bioengineering and other forms of vegetative stabilization.
Shoreline stabilization means structural and nonstructural actions taken to address erosion impacts to property, dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural shoreline processes such as currents, floods, tides, wind, or wave action. Expansion or enlargement of existing stabilization measures is considered new stabilization.
Shoreline stabilization means actions taken to address erosion impacts to property and dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural processes, such as current, wind, or wave action. These actions include structural and nonstructural methods. Nonstructural methods include building setbacks, relocation of the structure to be protected, ground water management, planning and regulatory measures to avoid the need for structural stabilization.
Shoreline stabilization means the anchoring of soil at the water's edge, or in shallow water, by fibrous plant root complexes; this may include long-term accretion of sediment or peat, along with shoreline progradation in such areas.
Shoreline stabilization means structural or non-structural modifications to the existing shoreline intended to address erosion impacts to property and dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural processes, such as current, flood, wind, or wave action. They are generally located parallel to the shoreline at or near the OHWM.
Shoreline stabilization means structural and nonstructural methods to address erosion impacts to property and dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural processes, such as currents, floods, tides, wind, or wave action.
Shoreline stabilization means actions taken to address erosion impacts to property and dwellings, businesses, or structures caused by natural processes, such as current, flood, tides, wind, or wave action, including both structural and nonstructural methods.
