Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1949 The north and south breakwaters were constructed of rubble stone to 

 lengths of 1,130 and 825 ft, respectively (Figure 39). Stone 

 weighing from 0.25- to 4-tons was placed to a crown elevation of 

 +6 ft mlw, a 5-ft crown width, and 1V:1.5H side slopes. Water depths 

 varied from -2 to -10 ft mlw along the breakwaters' center lines. A 

 total of 23,920 tons of stone was placed for a cost of $117,250. 



1962- Visual inspections show that both breakwaters have minor displacement 

 1977 of stone. As of 1977, the north and south breakwaters were in good 

 and fair conditions, respectively. 



1985 Yearly visual inspection of the breakwaters indicated they were in 

 good condition.
