Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1956 A 600-ft-long rubble-mound jetty was constructed on the west side of 

 the mouth of the Patchogue and Menunketesuck Rivers, providing 

 protection to the 8-ft-deep Patchogue entrance channel (Figure 46). 

 The design section consisted of a +9.5 ft mlw crown elevation, a 7-ft 

 crown width, and 1V:1.5H side slopes. The jetty was built with a 

 sand-tight core of 3-in. to 200-lb stone and covered with a 3-ft- 

 thick layer of 1- to 6- ton stone. The cost for placing 6,470 tons of 

 stone was $45, 100.
