BEACH EROSION STUDIES 



The principal types of beach erosion control studies of specific 

 localities are the following* 



a. Cooperative studies (authorization by the Chief of Engi- 

 neers in accordance with Section 2, River and Harbor Act 

 approved 3 July 1930), 



be Preliminary examination and surveys (Congressional author-, 

 ization by reference to locality by name), 



Ce Reports on shore line changes which may result from im- 

 provements of the entrances at the mouths of rivers and 

 inlets (Section 5, Public Law No , 409, 74th Congress), 



d. Reports on shore protection of Federal property (author- 

 ization by the Chief of Engineers), 



Of these types of studies, cooperative beach erosion studies are 

 the type most frequently made when a community desires investigation of 

 its particular problem. As these studies have greater general interest, 

 information concerning studies of specific localities contained in these 

 quarterly bulletins will be confined to cooperative studies. Information 

 about other types of studies can be obtained upon inquiry to this office., 



Cooperative studies of beach erosion are studies 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 cost of these studies is divided 

 equally between the United States and the cooperating agency. Informa- 

 tion concerning the initiation of the cooperative study may be obtained 

 from any District Engineer of the Corps of Engineers, After a report on 

 a cooperative study has been transmitted to Congress, a summary the reof 

 is included in the next issue of this bulletin, A list of authorized 

 cooperative studies follows*
