We have conducted a comprehensive inventory and analysis of the existing shoreline conditions. The entire shoreline is approximately 1,750 linear feet. The proposed plan calls for stabilization of 1,410 linear feet of the total shoreline. Every effort will be made to use bio- engineered solutions as much as possible in reference to hardened shorelines. Enhanced rip -rap will be used on 210.5 linear feet of shoreline and rip rap alone is proposed for approximately 1, 199.5 linear feet. The techniques to be used are taken from the Duke Energy Shoreline Management Guidelines which include rip -rap and enhanced rip - rap. Each of the techniques have been selected dependent on the existing shoreline conditions as described in the inventory created by David Penalva, P.E. ofNOVA Engineering and Environmental. This stabilization will help to protect the Davidson Retirement Residence from further degradation by erosion on the water side. Stabilization will protect Lake Norman from additional sedimentation by erosion and may serve as a demonstration project for future shoreline stabilization projects. Table 1: Proposed Shoreline Stabilization Total Project (F`T) Rip Rap (M Enhanced Rip Rap (am) 1410.0 1199.5 210.5 The entire project will be performed form the land side due to the location of the proposed shoreline stabilization. We will make every effort to minimize the amount of clearing required for the access road. Any damage incurred during the project will be repaired as part of this project.
