After severe Nor'easter storms in January and February, 1998, a constructed berm was installed on the northend of Assateague Island through a partnership including Assateague Island National Seashore, US Army Corps of Engineers, and MD Department of Natural Resources. In 2002, the berm was rebuilt, and in January 2005, notches were created through the berm by a bulldozer in an attempt to re-introduce natural overwash processes. These notches are monitored every month, through collecting elevation surveys, in addition to one survey prior to the notching. These surveys can be used to create an elevation surface.
