alternative plan provides for reconstruction 

 of groin system and protective beach of

They found evaluated benefits insufficient to justify Federal 

 participation in the costs of additional protection for the shores of 

 Kenosha, and recommended that no projects be adopted by the United States 

 at this time for protection of shores of Lake Michigan within the city of 

 Kenosha. They further recommended that protective measures which may be 

 undertaken by local interests, in accordance with their own determination 

 of economic justification, be accomplished in accordance with plans 

 proposed in this report. 



The Chief of Engineers concurred in the views and recommendations of 

 the Beach Erosion Board. 



MANITOWOC COUNTY FROM TWO RIVERS TO MANITOWOC, WISCONSIN 



The study area comprises a 92-mile section of the shore of Manitowoc 

 County from the north limit of Two Rivers to the south limit of Manitowoc. 

 It is located about 70 miles north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. About 77 

 percent of the shore frontage of the study area is publicly owned. The 

 remainder of the above frontage is used for industrial and residential 

 purposes. The county has a population of about 67,000. The exposed 

 shore frontage of the study area is divided into three sections by the 

 Federally improved harbors of Two Rivers and Manitowoc. North of Two 

 Rivers Harbor the shore is backed by low banks averaging about 6 feet in 

 height above mean lake level. Beaches are 50 to 100 feet in width at 

 mean lake level. The entrance to Two Rivers Harbor is protected by 

 parallel jetties (locally known as piers) through which East and West 

 Twin Rivers discharge. Between the harbors the shore consists of low 

 bluffs ranging in height to a maximum of about 25 feet above mean lake 

 level. Beaches are generally narrow at mean lake stage. The outer basin 

 of Manitowoc Harbor at the mouth of Manitowoc River is formed by two 

 shore-connected converging breakwaters. South of the harbor the elevations 

 of the shore bluffs range from about 5 to 50 feet above mean lake level.
