Saxon, Wisconsin 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1965 Construction of a 417-ft-long west breakwater and a 616-ft-long east 

 breakwater was completed at the site (Figure 23). The shoreward 

 335 ft of the east breakwater was of rubble-mound construction. The 

 crest el was +8 ft Iwd with an 8-ft width, and side slopes were 

 1V:1.5H (Figure 24, Section A). Armor stone was approximately 6 ft 

 thick. The shoreward 381.5 ft of the west breakwater was constructed 

 of steel sheetpiling with rock toe protection (Figure 24, Section B) . 

 The crest el was +8 ft Iwd. The lakeward ends of both structures 

 were cellular sheet pile (Figures 23 and 24, Section C) . Cells with 

 diameters of 35.65 ft were used. They were filled with excavation 

 fill and capped with stone (voids filled with concrete) . The crest 

 el of the cells was +8 ft Iwd, and toe protection was included. 



1983 An inspection made of the site Indicated minor cracking of the cap of 

 the innermost east breakwater cell. The cap of the outermost east 

 breakwater cell was also noted cracking with a void in the center of 

 the cap. In addition, the cap had settled as much as 8 in. in some 

 areas. 



1986 The structures have undergone only routine maintenance and presently 

 are in good condition.
