toe line

Not absolutely sure, but I think your own suggestion would probably be fine! PS: Try googling 'toe line' in combination with 'embankment', for example.

Kluwer Woordenboek Bouw:
1. inside emabnkment toe = teen (dijk)
2. toe of the dam = teen van de dam

long run. Date and palmyra are suggested for the inner slope **toe line**.
