RESULT: Stabilized 550ft of shoreline along Lake George and prevented 320 tons of sedimentation annually.
The shoreline along Lake George in Hobart has
become a significant source of sedimentation to the lake
and Deep River. This problem was identified through the
completion of the Deep River/Turkey Creek Watershed
Management Plan. Jerry Pavese Park, a popular lakeside
park along Lake George, contributed 320 tons of sediment
per year into the lake and Deep River.
Realizing the need to prevent such erosion, the City
of Hobart stabilized 550 ft of eroded shoreline at Jerry
Pavese Park. The restoration utilized a variety of
bioengineering methods approved by the Department of
Natural Resources. Additionally, an engineering feasibility
and design study was completed to ensure that the erosion
problem would be properly mitigated while also enhancing
the ecological integrity of the park.
