The purpose of this manual is to present information on project operation and maintenance (O & M) for compliance with Federal regulations. Shoreline erosion control features at Lincoln Park, Seattle, Washington, were constructed in 1988 under the River and Harbor Act of 1962. Lincoln Park is a heavily wooded park consisting of flat uplands, steep bluffs, and gently sloping beaches. Park facilities include a 1-mile-long saltwater beach. A concrete and cobblestone seawall extends the entire length of the shoreline. The project is designed to provide long-term shoreline-erosion protection at Lincoln Park in order to prevent damage to publicly owned property. Major O & M components for the revetment, periodic beach nourishment, and project monitoring are discussed. The primary objective of the revetment is to absorb wave energy and reduce wave overtopping and wave erosion. The primary objective of nourishment is to maintain the nearshore beach profile seaward to the limits of active wave influence on the bottom materials. An annual field inspection will be made to ascertain armor and toe rock displacement, overtopping problems, and damaged or vulnerable portions of the revetment and to observe and note the degree of erosion/accretion of the beach nourishment.

This report presents the findings of a task force review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Shoreline Protection and Beach Erosion Control Program. The assessment of the program was in response to Fiscal Year 1994 "Passback Language" from the Office of Management and Budget. The report responds to concerns about the shoreline protection program, particularly concerning costs, benefits, environmental effects and the related influences on shoreline development. The study was performed in two phases. The initial phase was completed in January 1994 and published as IWR Report 94-PS-1, Shoreline Protection and Beach Erosion Control Study. Phase I: Cost Comparison of Shoreline Protection Projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The purpose of the first phase report was to provide early input to the Office of the Management and Budget regarding the scope and cost of Federal Civil Works shore protection. This second and final phase of the study incorporates: additional analysis of project costs and sand emplacements; and overview of risk management in the coastal zone; a comparison of actual versus anticipated benefits; a discussion on environmental considerations; and an analysis of any induced development effects associated with the Federal shore protection and beach erosion control program. Also, included is a summary of study findings and conclusions. The basis of this report and the data compiled by the task force reflects conditions as of 1 July 1993.
