placement of suitable sand on the shore and extension of seven existing 

 stone groins. A study of the completed project revealed that loss of 

 beach fill exceeded the estimated rate because: (1) fill sediment was 

 finer-grained than the native sand; (2) shifting of inlet channels and 

 bars caused extensive movement of beach material and; (3) the shore- 

 line in the project area advanced relative to the adjacent shoreline 

 to the southwest.

A series of fourteen timber groins were built at Grand Isle, 

 Louisiana to control erosion. Erosion was not checked, and following 

 Beach Erosion Board recommendations, hydraulic fill was introduced into 

 the system. Preparation procedures are outlined, quantitative figures 

 on sand loss and gain, and textural characteristics of the sand are 

 given.
