Pounding Lake Erie waves have undermined the two sea walls that buttress the shorelines at Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial in Ohio, prompting the National Park Service to draw up plans for restoring the walls.

The sea walls are necessary to protect the cultural resources of the park due to the proximity of the memorial to the shorelines of Lake Erie and the relatively low elevation of the park. An environmental assessment has been prepared to evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed action and the no action alternative.

The proposed action would restore and extend the sea walls, improve stormwater management, protect cultural resources, and enhance the visitor experience at the park. Additionally, the EA identifies and considers the potential effects of the proposed action on historic properties, as required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

The 25-acre park contains one historic property—the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial. The historic property has three resources and six historic viewsheds, all of which contribute to the historic property. Park staff has determined the proposed action will have no adverse effects on the historic property.

You can find the EA at this site. The Park Service is taking public comments on the plan through December 31.
