Slope Stabilization at Fort Wadsworth
Gateway National Recreation Area » Slope Stabilization at Fort Wadsworth » Document List
The project is needed because the bluffs receded by as much as 20 feet due to storm action. These bluffs support batteries from the Endicott period of development (1885 - 1905) at the fort. Continued erosion and slumping of the bluff could threaten these primary park resources, including batteries Barbour, Turnbull and Hudson at the top of the bluff and the Experimental Battery (a post-Civil War battery) at the base.
