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:
