PREFACE 



This report on sand resources of southeastern Lake Michigan is one 

 of a series which presents results of the Inner Continental Shelf Sedi- 

 ment and Structure (ICONS) study. The primary objective of the ICONS 

 study is to locate offshore sand and gravel deposits suitable for beach 

 nourishment and restoration. The work is carried out under the coastal 

 processes program of the U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center 

 (CERC). 



The report was prepared by Edward P. Meisburger, S. Jeffress Williams, 

 and Dennis A. Prins, under the general supervision of Dr. C.H. Everts, 

 Chief, Geotechnical Engineering Branch. The manuscript was reviewed by 

 Dr. Everts and Dr. R.M. Sorensen (at the time Acting Chief, Engineering 

 Development Division). 



Data collection was conducted by CERC with the assistance of three 

 U.S. Army Engineer Districts (Chicago, Detroit, and Mobile) and the U.S. 

 Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station.
