Based on feedback from workshop participants, we have made the following revisions to the Currently Defended Decision Trees that were presented at the 5/5/11 workshop. The revised decision trees are available by scrolling down to the links on this page:
-
Title for each decision tree now in bold red.
-
Serviceable bulkheads and revetments in good condition – added suggestion to consider real need for structure at that location; if not really needed, consider removing it; if needed, inspect and maintain while considering alternatives for eventual replacement.
-
Low energy settings – added “grade bank if necessary” to “remove and replace with integrated vegetation buffers.”
