Shoreline Protection and Beach Erosion Control Study. Phase 1: Cost Comparison of Shoreline Protection Projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

摘要

This report defines the scope of the Federal shore protection program over the period 1950-1993 in terms of: the number of projects and types of protective measures; lineal distances of protected shorelines; project costs and expenditures to date; and the quantities of sand used in the restoration and subsequent nourishment of beaches. This report also provides a projection of future costs of constructed protects requiring continued Federal involvement such as beach nourishment as well as an analysis of projected costs for projects which have a strong possibility of being constructed in the next five to ten years (1999 to 2004).
