Shoreline Protection

Living Shorelines

  • Controls shoreline erosion
  • Provides a productive, natural shoreline
  • Strategic placement of plants, stone, sand fill and other

structural and organic materials

  • Implemented through a variety of shoreline protection

methods

Dredged Material Placement

Idlewilde DMP Site primarily used for South County recreational dredging projects such as:

  • Parish Creek (Federal and County channels)
  • Rockhold Creek Jetty
  • Broadwater Creek
  • Church Creek
  • West River, etc…

All materials are tested before dredging

  • Metals
  • Pesticides & PCBs
  • Priority pollutants volatiles & semi-volatiles
  • Total of 149 parameters

Dredged Material Placement

Place dry material from Idlewilde DMP Site

  • 14,000 cubic yards
  • 3-acre area
  • Amend soil with lime and fertilizer
  • Cover with 6 inches of topsoil
  • Shape to form natural land features
  • Re-seed with meadow mix
