Policy Standards 4.1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards. The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures fi.om flooding and erosion hazards are suggested: Use hard structural erosion protection measures for control of erosion only where: Construction of a hard structure is the only practical desi..~ consideration and is essential to protecting the principal use. The proposed hard structural erosion protection measures are: a. limited to the minimum scale necessary b. based on sound engineering practices Practical vegetative methods have been included in the project design and implementation. Adequate mitigation is provided and maintained to ensure that there is no adverse impact to adjacent property or to natural coastal processes and natural resources and, if undertaken by a private property owner, does not incur significant direct or indirect public costs.
