Establishing Standards for Building Setbacks: Incorporation of Erosion Rate Variability
Building setbacks in coastal areas are often established using average annual erosion rates as a predictor of future shoreline trends. Review of actual shoreline movements in many areas reveals what are often wide variations in erosion rates through time. Setbacks based solely on average annual erosion rates fail to take this variability into account, and may understate the true erosion risk to a structure, depending upon its location relative to the setback. This paper presents a method to review erosion rate variability at a site and to better gauge the likelihood that a structure at a given location will be undermined by erosion.
