residential purposes o The eroding shore line has been partially protected 

 by nmnerous groins and bulkheadSo 



do Artificial Fill Sectiono Little natural shore line exists in 

 this area, extending about 20 miles frcta Foster Avenue to the Indiana State 

 lineo The littoral drift from the north is impounded north of Foster Avenueo 

 Protection of the shore by breakwaters., bulkheads^ seawalls and structures 

 to retain the beaches reduces the littoral drift in ttie area to a negligible 

 quantity.. A large proportion of the frontage is publicly owned and used for 

 park purposes o Although 13 beaches are available in the area for recreational 

 use J the demand far exceeds the capacity of ttie beach area available o 



The Board concluded the following measures are suitable for tiie pro-
