Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1903- The construction of an 800-ft-long east pier and a 45-ft-long pile 

 1904 revetment progressed at the site (Figure 13) . 



1906 The outer 555 ft of the west pier (Figure 13, Section A) was con- 

 structed. The structure consisted of wood piles filled with wood 

 slabs and capped with stone. It was 11 ft wide and installed at an 

 el of +5.5 ft Iwd. 



1917 The inner 224 ft of the west pier was constructed. The cross section 

 of the structure was the same as the outer portion built in 1906. 



1946 The outer portion of the west pier (45.6 ft long) was rebuilt (Fig- 

 ures 13 and 14, Section B) . Steel sheetpiling and stone were used to 

 increase the width of the structure to 18.7 ft. Large stone was used 

 to cap the structure. The crest el was +5 ft Iwd. 



1949- The east pier and pile revetment were rebuilt. The east pier con- 

 1950 sisted of wood piles filled with stone and capped with a concrete and 

 stone superstructure. The crest el of the structure was +5.5 ft Iwd 

 with a 19.75-ft width, and the length was decreased to 446.5 ft. 

 Stone was placed on the lakeside of the pier (Figure 14, Section C) . 

 The pile revetment consisted of woodpiling filled with sand and 

 capped with concrete. It was increased to 388 ft in length. The el 

 was +4.0 ft Iwd, and stone was placed on the channel side (Figure 14, 

 Section D) . 



1961 Steel sheetpiling was placed on the shoreward end of the west pier 

 for a distance of 192.4 ft (Figures 13 and 14, Section E) . The 

 structure was 1.0 ft wide at an el of +5.5 ft Iwd. A rock berm was 

 installed on each side of the structure (Figure 14, Section E) . 

 Steel sheetpiling was also placed on the channel side of the west 

 pier for a distance of 779 ft (Figures 13 and 14, Section A). 



1986 The structures presently are in good condition.
