Shoreline Surveys
Note: Only those Shoreline Surveys created utilizing the Division's GIS are linked below. These surveys reflect ground condition at the date of the survey completion.
These do NOT show corrections made to noted deficiencies - click here for a spreadsheet of shoreline survey deficiencies and significant properties extracted bi-annually from the Division's GIS. Search by the following columns "Growing Area" (GA #), "Deficiency number" (LABEL #), and "Confirmation of correction" (CORR1 and/or CORR2) marked as either 'Y' or 'N' for yes or no.
For further deficiency correction related inquiries, please contact Keith Skiles or Daniel Powell.
