Persistent and excessive shoaling occurs in the outer harbor and approach channel of the Waukegan Harbor, Illinois. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) applied numerical modeling to investigate a variety of structural solutions to intercept and divert sediments to reduce shoaling in the navigation channel. These solutions include breakwaters, groins, spurs, and structural extensions with varying length and crest elevation connecting to the north beach and existing north breakwater. Using an integrated wave-flow-sediment transport numerical modeling approach, results provide estimates of both shoaling volume and height with and without structural alternatives. The model results showed these alternatives could effectively reduce the channel shoaling rate.
