Table 3.

Attributes used to assess shoreland landform restoration and stabilization at each site. Slope (%) was measured from paved pathways to OHW elevation. The berms of five sites (B, E, F, G, H) extend the full shoreline length. The C site berm provides partial protection. Three sites (A, D, I) do not have riprap berms. Note that there was no buffer width lost on any site, no patches of bare soil > 0.1 m2 other than those associated with paths, and no change to riprap berm elevation.
