BEACH EROSION STUDIES 



beach erosion control studies of specific localities are usually 

 made by the Corps of Engineers in cooperation with appropriate agencies 

 of the various States by authority of Section 2 of the River and Harbor 

 Act approved 3 July 1930. By executive ruling the costs of these 

 studies are divided equally between the United States and the cooperat- 

 ing agencies. Information concerning the initiation of a cooperative 

 study may be obtained from any District or Division Engineer of the 

 Corps of Engineers. A list of authorized cooperative studies follows:
