Vegetation (upland) (b) On a shoreline fronting on open water, seawalls shall be constructed' of Rip-Rap (boulders) in order to release and disperse wave -energy and reduce erosion of the shoreline.

A solid poured w~ll on open water tends to transmit wave energy along the face of the wall and concentrate ~rosion action at the ends of the wall, often on adjoining property. The rip-rapJseawall.shall be constructed of large boulders, carefully placed to eliminate large openings, and firmly bedded so that each boulder lends good support to those ahove, preventing dislodgement by wave action. Wherever possible, the rip':'rap-lshall be placed on a natural rock foundation. Loose fill or fine material shall not be used immediately behind or between the boulders. If necessary~--a fibreglass screen shall-be pl~ced directly behind the boulders to retain the backfill material.
