Shore Erosion Study Technical Report. Shoreline Erosion and Bluff Stability Along Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Shorelines of Wisconsin. Appendix 3. Milwaukee County
Detailed information on shoreline conditions within much of Milwaukee County is presented. A text which describes the characteristics of shoreline conditions at the beginning of each reach section is accompanied by a map of the whole reach which shows the sections, public perception of erosion hazards, shore damage in 1952, short- and long-term recession rates, bluff height, shore protection structures, houses per mile, and boat ramps. Also on the map, locations of measured profiles are shown along the shoreline. A running description of bluff characteristics, materials making up the toe of the slope, and beach characteristics are also given. Engineering data such as safety factor, the confidence level on this safety factor, and the distance the slope must retreat to attain a stable slope angle is given. Profiles from the water's edge to the bluff top are included with each section. These profiles show stratigraphy, slope angles, circles of failure, and calculated safety factors along the shoreline.
