Abbe Sess10 101309
The document discusses a project to protect a silt bench and levee along the Puyallup River from erosion using a naturalized approach. It describes how past engineering solutions failed to consider important natural factors like vegetation, snags, and natural shoreline development. The solution was to design a complex, dynamic revetment that emulates a natural riparian shoreline using large interlocking stones and wood debris. This self-settling design simulates how snags anchor and protect river banks, with the goal of evolving naturally over time like a real riparian zone. The revetment was constructed simply and cost significantly less than traditional engineered approaches.

Presentation (3-9-04)
This document provides an overview of waters and wetlands regulations. It defines jurisdictional features like waters of the US, streams, and wetlands. Wetlands require three criteria: water, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils. The Army Corps of Engineers regulates activities affecting these waters and wetlands under Sections 9, 10, and 404 of the Clean Water Act. Permits may be individual, general, or nationwide and require avoidance, minimization and possible compensation of impacts through wetland preservation, enhancement, creation or mitigation banking. States may also require water quality certification under Section 401.

3) Improvements to stormwater management through green infrastructure projects like rain gardens to capture and clean rainwater running off of impervious surfaces and into waterways like the North River.
Submarine Groundwater...2006
This document reviews recent advances in understanding submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). SGD occurs where groundwater meets the ocean, driven by the hydraulic gradient. It can be diffuse seepage or rapid flow through fractures. Mechanisms include tidal fluctuations, wave setup, thermal/density convection. Studies in Japan have measured SGD rates using geochemistry, modeling, and direct measurements. Globally, estimates indicate SGD comprises a significant portion of total water flux, though rates are highly variable due to local conditions. Advances include using tracers like radon, temperature profiles, and models to better quantify SGD.

Fieldwork and research cuckmere haven
Cuckmere Haven in Sussex was chosen as the study site due to its proximity to the school and evidence of ongoing coastal erosion. Fieldwork methods including annotated photos, beach profiles, pebble analysis, and groyne measurements were used to collect data on coastal erosion processes. Findings indicated a high risk of erosion due to steep beach profiles, unsorted sediments, and frequent strong waves. Annotated photos and historical maps provided evidence of past erosion. Groynes were found to be effectively trapping sediments, though erosion remains an issue in unprotected areas. Secondary research and technology could improve understanding of changing erosion rates over time.

Responses to Public Comments About Beach Restoration at Quogue
This document is a letter from First Coastal Corporation responding to public comments on a beach restoration project in Quogue, NY. It summarizes 15 topics of public concern and provides responses to each. The key points addressed are that studies show the area has lost 500,000 cubic yards of sand and needs restoration, the project will have minimal short-term environmental impacts and restore habitat, and it is designed with a 10-year lifespan based on scientific calculations of erosion rates.
Wetlands and Stormwater Management
This document summarizes a case study of balancing wetland and stream preservation with stormwater management for a development project. The initial development proposal impacted wetlands and streams, but these impacts were avoided and minimized through design revisions. Additional mitigation included onsite wetland creation. However, the proposed regional stormwater management ponds could impact water quality in the streams. Alternative approaches were developed that focused on managing stormwater in upland areas before release into waters and wetlands. A monitoring plan was also implemented to evaluate impacts. Through these measures, growth was accommodated while avoiding impacts to resources and maintaining effective stormwater strategies.
Sedimentary Petrology
This document discusses the formation and classification of sedimentary rocks. It explains that sedimentary rocks are formed through the weathering and erosion of existing rocks, the deposition of sediments, and the lithification and cementation of those sediments over time. The document also notes that sedimentary rocks make up around 75% of the Earth's crust by volume, though the actual volume of sedimentary rock is between 5-8% of the crust. It proceeds to provide details on the three stages of sedimentary rock formation and classifications.

All about coasts
The document discusses several key topics regarding coastal processes and geomorphology:
1) Coasts are important interfaces between land and sea that are hazardous due to erosion and flooding. They also provide economic value through activities like tourism.
2) Coasts are open systems with inputs of energy, sediments, and processes like erosion and deposition that create landforms. They have outputs like deposited material onshore.
3) Sediment cells define discrete lengths of coastline where sediment movement is self-contained through longshore drift. These inform shoreline management plans.
Ga presentation - scc capitol lake 10-12-10a
This document summarizes the history and context of Capitol Lake planning in Washington state. It discusses the various proposals that have been considered over time to manage the lake and sediment accumulation, including maintaining the lake, restoring an estuary, or creating a dual basin estuary. It also outlines some of the technical, economic, environmental, and regulatory considerations of each alternative. Moving forward, the state legislature will need to decide on a long-term management strategy, but permitting for major changes could take 4-6 years.
Ga presentation - scc capitol lake 10-12-10a
This document summarizes the history and context of Capitol Lake planning in Washington state, including:
1) Capitol Lake was created in 1937 by damming the Deschutes River to form a lake as part of the state capitol campus. Since then, sediment accumulation has been an ongoing issue requiring dredging.
2) Recent studies from 1997-2009 have evaluated managing the lake or restoring an estuary, considering environmental, economic, technical, and community factors.
3) Key recommendations and considerations related to ongoing management of the lake or restoring an estuary include costs and timing of dredging, infrastructure needs, water quality impacts, and habitat restoration.
4) Next steps require action by the State Capitol
Coastal defense structures
This document discusses various coastal defense structures used to protect coastlines from erosion. It describes hard structures like seawalls, breakwaters, groins and jetties which use solid materials to reduce wave energy. It also describes soft structures like beach nourishment, dune building and mangrove planting which use natural materials. Hard structures provide strong defense but can disrupt sediment flows while soft structures are more sustainable but require ongoing maintenance. The effectiveness and tradeoffs of different coastal protection measures are compared. The document also discusses harbor oscillations, how narrowing a harbor's entrance can paradoxically increase wave amplification due to higher quality factors, and references the related 1961 paper by Miles and Munk on the harbor paradox.

2008 04 Flooding: The Forecast Nick Lyness, Environment Agency
A presentation was given about the flood risk and environmental impacts of building a Severn Barrage. It was noted that while a barrage could decrease flood risk from storm surges, existing flood defences are sufficient to manage climate change risks without one. A barrage would negatively impact habitats in the Severn Estuary Special Protection Area and proposed Special Area of Conservation. It would require upgrading over 100 drainage schemes at a cost of up to £60 million and could irreversibly impact species like shad that rely on the Severn. Major environmental studies would also be needed given the vast materials required and impacts on permits.
Coasts, Estuaries and Issues
The document discusses various topics related to coasts, estuaries, and environmental issues. It provides information on different types of estuaries, the importance of estuaries and coastal zones. It also discusses issues like climate change, pollution, toxins, oil spills, marine debris, and different types of beaches. The document contains numerous links to additional resources on these topics.
Field Rep Assessments
The document summarizes assessments of stream restoration and stormwater projects funded by the CWMTF. It discusses the types of restoration and stormwater projects funded, methods used to assess the projects, findings from site visits by field representatives, and presentations made on various project types including stream restoration, wetland restoration, agricultural BMPs, and stormwater BMPs. Key highlights include that most funded projects showed water quality benefits and compliance with goals, though some required maintenance and repairs, and presentations provided examples and findings on different best management practices.
Artificial Reef 2001 Anglers Club
The document discusses artificial reefs and Martin County's artificial reef program. It describes the purposes of artificial reefs which include increasing habitat for marine organisms and decreasing stress on natural reefs. It also outlines the types of artificial reef materials and reef designs used, including individual units, rubble mounds, and recycled materials. Finally, it provides details on Martin County's past and planned artificial reef projects in partnership with other organizations.
Army Corps of Engineers Report on Restoration Planning in Jamaica bay
The document discusses several ecosystem restoration projects being planned in and around Jamaica Bay in New York. It summarizes plans to restore over 360 acres of wetlands and other habitat across multiple sites. Key projects discussed include restoring wetlands and removing invasive species at Dead Horse Bay, Fresh Creek, and several Jamaica Bay Marsh Islands. It also describes flood risk reduction projects along the Atlantic Coast, including high frequency flooding features to reduce risk from frequent flooding in Jamaica Bay.
18. Environmental Impacts of Dams (Supply).pdf
Dams provide many benefits like improving quality of life through irrigation, flood control, hydropower, and more. However, they can also negatively impact the environment and human populations. Key impacts include displacing many people worldwide and inadequate compensation, harming terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by blocking animal migrations and altering natural river flows, and emitting greenhouse gases from reservoirs. While dams provide irrigation and hydropower, their construction often undercounts displaced people and fails to fully resettle them, compromising livelihoods. Cultural heritage sites can also be damaged or lost. Mitigation efforts are often insufficient to address these social and environmental impacts.
Ecological Enhancement of Coastal and Marine Infrastructures
This document discusses strategies for decreasing the ecological footprint of coastal and marine infrastructures. It provides an overview of the environmental impacts of coastal development such as habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species. The strategies presented include environmental compensation, ecological engineering, and designing infrastructures to be ecologically active. Ecologically active infrastructures use texture, composition, and macro-design elements to support biological productivity while meeting construction requirements. This enhances biodiversity and ecosystem services without compromising structural integrity. The document advocates for scientists, engineers, and policymakers to collaborate on more sustainable coastal infrastructure design and enhancement.

This presentation was given at the 2011 Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It summarized the Town of Hilton Head Island's beach management program, which includes regular beach monitoring, renourishment projects using nearby sand sources, and stabilizing structures. The program has widened beaches, increased recreation areas, and protected development from erosion at a total cost of $40 million. Future projects aim to maintain current beach conditions with smaller volumes of sand rather than continual widening.Eco Dive Club 2012-02-07
This document summarizes Southern California Edison's marine mitigation program for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. It describes the station's once-through cooling system and its impacts on marine life, including entrainment of fish eggs and larvae and effects on the nearby kelp forest. As required by the Coastal Commission, SCE established a mitigation program that included constructing 150 acres of artificial reef habitat and 150 acres of tidal wetlands to compensate for these impacts. The program also included studies of the station's fish return system and long-term monitoring. SCE has spent over $172 million on the mitigation program to date with additional ongoing monitoring costs.
