Lake Erosion Control Specifications

Lake Erosion Control Specifications

 

These specifications are based on the 2008 Charlotte Engineering report. They were approved at the October PBCA board meeting.

The specifications of allowed methods in Placido lakes are:

1. Aquatic plantings/prevegetated mats

2. Coir rolls (turtle logs)

3. Coir fiber matrix system

4. Geoweb cellular confinement system

5. Geotextile tube erosion control

6. Seawalls are only allowed in lakes where seawalls already exist – Lakes #3, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10   

Seawalls can be either wood or vinyl, with wood or concrete caps.

Since methods #3 and #4 require lowering of the lakes, they must be coordinated with PBCA throughout the project.

 

Any proposed erosion control work by a resident or neighborhood must be approved by the DRC, which consults the Lake Committee.
