Shoreline erosion control arrangement and method
A method for protecting and/or repairing a shoreline incorporates a liner material laid upon and following a contour of a scoured shoreline, a plurality of filled bags placed upon the liner material in a linear arrangement at or below an extreme low water shoreline and a volume of rock fill placed upon the liner material between a shore wall and the linear arrangement of the filled bags. An upper surface of the rock fill is preferably arranged forming a grading sloping downward from the shore toward the filled bags. A liner return segment is arranged covering the rock fill and secured to the shore. Vegetation is disposed upon and covering an exposed portion of the liner material to complete the restoration construction. The liner material can be a geotextile filter fabric paper. The filled bags can be concrete bags. The rock fill can include an aggregate of fifty-seven rock.
