emote imagery, and the development of a centralized shorezone database. Thepossibilities for measurement will almost always exceed the budget, sopriorities must be set by the project engineer and permit planner or theproject’s Technical Advisory Committee. 86Monitoring must address the immediate project level concerns, but it must alsoprovide meaningful data for shorezone adaptive management. There are severalstages in this process:• Understanding the past: observing short-term fluctuations anddocumenting long-term trends as they relate to development and land use inorder to understand the present and inform the future.• Identifying potential problems: monitoring allows significant change to beidentified and addressed. For example, if backshore and foreshore erosionwill result in damage to an important structural asset, the appropriate datacollection and modeling should be part of the design alternative analysisprocess.• Predicting the future: past and recent development and land use along theshoreline can provide a guide to future littoral response and shorelineevolution.• Monitoring management operations: feedback on shorezone response tooperations will guide future management decision making, possiblyproviding on-going institutional refinements or alternatives to projectplanning and engineering. 87• Managing a protective structure installation within the Lake <strong>Tahoe</strong>shorezone requires data on the initial character of the system as well as thechanges over a range of time scales and the causative factors of change. Thedata are needed in order to achieve the following:• Identify and understand change associated with the protectiveinstallation.• Guide the planning of management operations for its functionalmaintenance.• Programmatically appraise the performance and impacts of project levelengineering decisions.Overall, protective structure monitoring provides either a temporary orpermanent <strong>BMP</strong>, which applies source, hydrologic, and pollution control forwater quality.86USACE, 1989, EM 1110-2 -5025, Environmental Engineering for Coastal Shore Protection andUSACE, 2008, Coastal Engineering Manual - Parts I-687USACE, 1989, EM 1110-2 -5025, Environmental Engineering for Coastal Shore Protection andUSACE, 2008, Coastal Engineering Manual - Parts I-6CHAPTER 8: Shorezone Protective Structures and <strong>BMP</strong>sTRPA <strong>BMP</strong> HandbookPage 8-88 2012
