Shoreline erosion risk increases Tuesday

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority has issued a special watershed conditions statement for lakeshore municipalities.

Strong winds and waves Tuesday could cause flooding and erosion problems along the Lake Huron shoreline.

The winds, combined with above-normal water levels on Lake Huron will result in higher than normal waves hitting shoreline areas.

The increased wave height may result in minor flooding of low-lying coastal areas, as well as increased risk of erosion to lakeshore bluffs.

Residents and municipal officials are reminded to stay well back from breaking waves. Approach top-of-bluff areas with caution, during and immediately after the storm, in case there has been any movement of the bank.
