| Type of erosion: |
Undercut bank |
|
| Severity of erosion: |
Undercutting extended into the bank 2" to 6" along entire shoreline |
| Energy level: |
Minor |
| Height of eroded face: |
Seven inches above water line |
Depth of water along the shoreline: |
Five inches |
| Bank consistency: |
Organic, silty soil with gravelly, mucky substrate |
| Presence of ice heaving: |
No |
 |
Rooted aquatic vegetation present: |
Yes - submergent |
| Fetch: |
200 yards |
| Main erosive factor: |
Wave action* (an old pier anchored parallel to the shoreline was the main problem - it limited vegetation growth and therefore allowed the soil to be eroded away) |
Erosion control option chosen: |
Biolog and planting of natives on slope in bare areas |
