(b) Calf Pasture Beach Park - South Shore, Norwalk. Con- 

 struction of two impermeable groins to a 350-foot length; 



(c) Cove Island, Stamford. Wid ening to a 125-foot width by 

 direct placement of sand fill, 1,200 feet of the east shore of Cove 

 Island and construction of an impermeable jetty 400 feet long at the 

 east limit of the fill, (the fill material may be obtained by excavation 

 of a wider and straighter entrance channel to Holly Pond in a manner 

 that will reduce the swift currents close to Weed Beach); 



(d) Cummings Park, Stamford . Widening to a 125-foot width in 

 front of the existing bathhouse by direct placement of sand fill approx- 

 imately 1,000 feet of the public bathing beach, lengthening of the ex- 

 isting groin to a 400-foot length, and raising the inshore end of the 

 existing jetty; 



(e) Greenwich Point, Greenwich. Widening, generally to a 

 125-foot width by direct placement of sand fill, approximately 2,800 

 feet of the public bathing beach; 



(f) Byram Point, Greenwich . Landward extension and repairs 

 to the existing jetty to make it impermeable to the passage of sand. 



The division engineer and Beach Erosion Board also found that pro- 

 tection and improvement of the east shore at Calf Pasture Beach Park 

 euid shores at Cove Island, Cummings Park and Greenwich Point Eire 

 justified by evaluated benefits. They further found that the nature 

 and amount of benefits warrant Federal participation, and recommended 

 subject to certain conditions, adoption of projects by the United States 

 authorizing Federal participation by the contribution of Federal 

 funds in an amount equal to one-third of the first costs of construction 

 of the plans for those four publicly owned shores. They also recommended 

 that protective measures which may be undertaken by local, interests, 

 based on their determination of economic justification, be accomplished 

 in accordance with the methods proposed and projects considered in his 

 report. 



The Chief of Engineers concurred in the views and recommendations 

 of the Beach Erosion Board. 



SANTA CRUZ COUyTY, CALIFORNIA 



Santa Cruz County is in the central portion of the coast of 

 California, about 65 miles south of San Francisco. Its Pacific Ocean 

 shore line, extending in a general northwest-southeast direction, is 

 about 40 miles long. The coastal area is divided into three principal 

 natural segments. From the northern county line to the west city line 

 of Santa Cruz, the shore cliffs range from 30 to 250 feet in height. 

 This segment has a northwest-southeast orientation. Shallow indentations 

 and coves contain sandy beaches and dunes at the mouths of the short
