3a. MOVE THE IMPROVEMENT, IF POSSIBLE; CONSULT WITH AN EXPERT
In a situation with high or undercut erosion of a non-forested shoreline, bank grading and vegetation planting is the preferred option. However, if upland improvements (e.g., house, well, septic system) would be in the grading zone, then moving the improvement, if possible, in order to allow for grading is recommended. In some cases, the improvement can be easily moved (e.g., a gazebo or small shed). In other cases, moving the improvement may be more difficult and require the services of experts. In some cases, moving the improvement may not be possible or feasible. In those cases, an alternative erosion protection approach may be necessary, also requiring the services of experts.

Here the house is too close to the bank for grading. Alternative erosion protection may be necessary. |
