Fairport, Ohio 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1868 Construction of the east pier (Figure 234) was completed. The pier 

 was a stone-filled timber crib structure that was 20 ft wide (Fig- 

 ure 235, Section E) . 



1905 The east pier was capped with a concrete and stone superstructure 



(Figure 235, Section E) . Construction of the shoreward 2,325-f t-long 

 portion of the west breakwater (Figure 234, Sections H and J) was 

 completed. The innermost 1,500-ft portion of the breakwater was of 

 rubble-mound construction (Figure 236, Section H) . It had a crest el 

 of +9.9 ft Iwd with a width of 10 ft. Side slopes were 1V:2H on the 

 lakeside and 1V:1.3H on the channel side. The lakeward portion of 

 the breakwater was constructed with stone-filled timber cribs (Fig- 

 ure 236, Section J) that were 26 ft wide. 



1911 The west breakwater was extended by 1,053 ft (Figure 234, Section A). 

 The extension was of rubble-mound construction and had an el of 

 +10.4 ft Iwd with a crest width of 10 ft (Figure 235, Section A). 

 Side slopes were 1V:1.5H, and the armor stones used ranged from 4 to 

 8 tons each. 



1925 Stone was placed over the cap and on the lakeside of the timber crib 

 portion of the west breakwater (Figures 234 and 236, Section J). The 

 stone was placed at an el of +9.9 ft Iwd with a crest width of 10 ft 

 and side slopes of IV: 2H. 



1932 Construction of a 6, 750-f t-long rubble-mound detached east breakwater 

 (Figure 234, Section B) was completed. The breakwater had a crest el 

 of +8.2 ft Iwd and a width of 10 ft (Figure 235, Section B) . Side 

 slopes were 1V:1.5H and had a minimum weight of 3 tons. 



1935 A 500-f t-long extension of the west breakwater (Figure 234, Sec- 

 tion F) was completed. The extension consisted of a sand-filled 

 cellular steel sheet-pile structure (Figure 235, Section F) . The 

 cells were 30 ft in diameter and capped with concrete at an el of 

 +8.4 ft Iwd. Riprap was placed on the channel side. 



1939 Construction of a 500-f t-long west pier (Figure 234, Section D) was 

 completed. The pier consisted of sand-filled cellular steel sheet- 

 pile structures (Figure 235, Section D) . The cell diameters were 

 34 ft, and they were capped with concrete at an el of +7.9 ft Iwd. 



1946 Because of settlement of the sand fill, one of the cells in the west 

 breakwater extension was repaired by using cut stone to replace the 



concrete cap.
