Before/After Examples
Egg Harbor, Wisconsin
SLIDE 58
BEFORE: Low, flat beach with large swash zone. Rock jetties reduce water movement.
SLIDE 59
BEFORE: Low, flat beach with large swash zone. Minimal vegetation to hold sand in place. Waterfowl loafing helps create environment for bacterial growth.
SLIDE 60
BEFORE: Low, flat beach with large swash zone. Large populations of waterfowl consistently utilizing beach area.
SLIDE 61
DURING CONSTRUCTION: Beach is nourished to minimize swash zone and improve infiltration. Native plantings are used to hold sand in place and discourage waterfowl. Stormwater runoff is treated through infiltration and bio- infiltration prior to entering the sandy beach area.
SLIDE 62
DURING CONSTRUCTION: Native plantings improve aesthetics, treat stormwater, and hold sand in place. Walkways and picnic areas are established throughout the planting area.
SLIDE 63
AFTER: Beach is higher and drier as a result of beach nourishment.
SLIDE 64
AFTER: Native vegetation assists in holding sand in place, treating stormwater runoff from parking lot and nearby roadways, and preventing waterfowl loafing.
SLIDE 65
AFTER: Boardwalks and pathways direct beachgoers to sandy beach area with minimal disturbance to vegetation.
SLIDE 66
AFTER: Picnic areas are designated throughout park/beach area.
