continued during recent high lake levels which lasted from the early 1970 's 

 through the monitoring period. Lake level peaked in 1973 and again in 1986.

 and a seawall were built and repeatedly repaired with only limited success to 

 halt shore erosion. Storm waves and high lake levels during the 1970 's 

 damaged the coast, and the seawall protecting Lakeview Park with its bathhouse 

 was undermined and collapsed. 



Existing Project 



347. To meet the project goals, a plan that included a beach fill, 

 groins, and detached breakwaters was developed in 1974 in a 1-year study that 

 did not involve use of either mathematical or hydraulic models, leading to a 

 comprehensive GDM (USAED, Buffalo 1975). The project was completed in October 

 1977, and a 5-year monitoring program was begun. The fill was designed to 

 protect the park and serve as a recreational beach; the detached breakwaters
