Bimini Beach Stormwater Management & Retaining Wall
Treasure Lake Property Owners Association, Lake Bimini, DuBois, PA
Stahl Sheaffer Engineering provided stormwater management services to the Treasure Lake Property Owners Association (TLPOA) to alleviate runoff issues that resulted in unnecessary loss of sand from the beach area at Bimini Lake. The beach area at Bimini Lake is maintained for swimming and is a popular beach within the Treasure Lake development. Stahl Sheaffer also coordinated with the TLPOA to design a natural boulder retaining wall at the sand/grass interface that is in keeping with the current aesthetic appeal of the Treasure Lake property. Bimini Beach is a moderately sloping beach, with sloping open grass areas used by beach goers. The new retaining wall provides additional protection from loss of sand, saving money and protecting the beach with greater sand retention. In addition, the wall provides a safer entrance for foot traffic onto the beach by eliminating the previous uneven eroded edge along the grass/sand interface
