    A rocky embankment or causeway runs diagonally through the foreground, bordered by shrubs and vegetation on the left side and a calm river or lake on both sides. In the background, a city skyline is visible with several mid-to-high-rise buildings rising above a treeline. The scene appears to be a urban waterfront park or nature reserve on a clear, sunny day.

    U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District team members inspect the Times Beach Nature Preserve and former Times Beach confined disposal facility, Buffalo, NY, September 4, 2020.

    In the 1970s, the Buffalo District constructed and placed dredged material into the CDF from the Buffalo Harbor. Over time, the structure has received wind and wave damage, and the primary risk from damage is contaminated sediments inside the structure releasing into Lake Erie.

    If the team determines there is a design deficiency at the CDF, the District will pursue funding for future repair work.

    A rocky breakwater or jetty extends into a body of blue water, flanked on both sides by calm waterways. The structure is composed of large gray limestone or granite riprap stones and leads toward a tree-lined area with an urban skyline visible in the background. The scene appears to be a waterfront park or harbor area on a clear, sunny day.

    A rocky breakwater or jetty extends along a large body of blue water under a partly cloudy sky. The foreground features large, angular riprap rocks typical of engineered shoreline protection structures. In the distance, wind turbines and industrial structures are faintly visible on the horizon.
    A waterfront scene photographed from a rocky shoreline or breakwater, looking across a calm body of water toward a city skyline. The foreground features large grey boulders with small green plants growing between them. The background shows a mix of dense green trees and urban buildings under a clear blue sky.
    A rocky breakwater or jetty extends outward into a calm, blue body of water under clear skies. The structure is composed of large, irregularly shaped gray limestone or granite rocks with low-growing vegetation and small trees colonizing the surface. In the background, tree-lined shores and distant structures are visible across the water.
    Three individuals are standing on a rocky shoreline near a body of water on a sunny day. All three are wearing personal flotation devices (life vests), suggesting a water safety or field work context. Industrial or urban infrastructure is visible in the background across the water.
    Two individuals are standing on large rocks in an outdoor coastal or waterfront setting on a sunny day. One person wearing a high-visibility yellow safety vest and face covering is holding a smartphone, while the other person in a dark jacket is pointing upward with one arm raised. The scene appears to be a field survey or outdoor work activity near a rocky shoreline with vegetation.
    A group of four people stand on a large granite rock formation with visible fractures and stepped ledges. Three individuals are wearing safety or life vests, and one person is crouching with a camera, suggesting a professional field survey or inspection. The scene is set outdoors under a clear blue sky with green vegetation visible in the background.
    Four individuals are gathered on a rocky waterfront structure, appearing to conduct a site inspection or safety briefing. Three of the four people are wearing personal flotation devices (PFDs) or life vests, and all are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The setting appears to be a deteriorating concrete and rock breakwater or jetty along a large body of water.
    A calm body of water, likely a river or pond, is bordered by rocky shorelines and dense green vegetation in the foreground. In the background, a small structure or dock is visible across the water, along with buildings partially obscured by mature trees. The scene appears to be a semi-natural waterfront area near a small town or industrial zone.
    A stone staircase or stepped pathway ascends through dense green vegetation toward a body of bright blue water in the background. The steps appear to be constructed from large flat granite or limestone slabs, with smaller cut stone blocks forming a retaining wall on the right side. The path is partially overgrown with shrubs and vines, suggesting limited recent maintenance.
    Three people are walking along a rocky shoreline next to a large body of blue water, partially shaded by overhanging trees. The foreground person is wearing a yellow high-visibility vest and a life jacket, bending forward to examine something on the rocks. The scene appears to be an inspection, survey, or environmental assessment activity along a waterfront.
    Three individuals wearing safety/high-visibility vests are walking along a rocky riverbank or shoreline. The scene appears to be a site inspection or assessment, likely related to infrastructure, environmental, or emergency management work. Lush green vegetation and a body of water are visible in the background.
    A rocky shoreline scene featuring large tree trunks growing at the water's edge, surrounded by scattered flat and angular rocks of varying sizes. The image captures a natural waterfront environment with bright sunlight casting distinct shadows across the stone surfaces. Blue rippling water is visible in the background, suggesting a lake or river setting.
    The image shows a rocky ground surface covered with angular grey and white stones of varying sizes, interspersed with vegetation. Dry, bare branches and vines are draped across the rocks, while green leafy plants grow along the left edge and in small clusters between the stones. The scene appears to be a natural outdoor environment, possibly a rocky hillside or streambed, captured in bright sunlight creating strong shadows.
    Two individuals stand on a rocky shoreline near a body of water, appearing to conduct an environmental or field survey. One person wearing a high-visibility safety vest and face covering is pointing toward vegetation or the water, while the other wears a personal flotation device and face mask. A dock or pier structure is visible across the water in the background.
    Three individuals are inspecting what appears to be a collapsed or severely damaged road or pavement structure. The surface has fractured and crumbled, with large chunks of asphalt and rubble scattered below the broken edge. The scene suggests a post-disaster or structural failure assessment.
    A wooden boardwalk or bridge structure has sustained significant damage, with broken railings and debris scattered across the deck. Multiple large trees have fallen in the background, suggesting the damage was caused by a severe storm or high winds. The surrounding vegetation remains lush and green, indicating the photo was taken shortly after the damaging event.
