These shoreline erosion estimates equate to an average annual loading of approximately 410 tons/year. The total tons of delivered soil were calculated using a dry unit weight of 100 pounds per cubic-ft for undisturbed, native soil densities. The estimated loading to Lake Hillsboro based on the 2007 shoreline survey was estimated by extending the eroded bank into the lake at a projected slope of 3:1 (3 foot horizontal to 1 foot vertical) to form a typical triangular end area. Then, the length of the eroded shoreline in linear feet was multiplied by the projected end area for each degree of classification of erosion. | | | | Date Created: | 07 25 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041059 Original UID: 21118 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
