Construction and Rehabilitation History 



An 800-ft-long sand-tight jetty was constructed on the west side 

 (Jennings Beach) of the mouth of Ash Creek (Figure 50). The jetty 

 cross section consisted of a +9 ft mlw crown elevation, a 5-ft crown 

 width, and side slopes of 1V:1.5H. The jetty had a run of quarry 

 core and a 3-ft-thick double layer of cover stone (size not known). 

 The jetty was built by local interests who were reimbursed one-third 

 the first cost of construction by the Federal government. 



The jetty has no known repair history, and its present condition is 

 not known.
