and the proposed structure location, both with and without the 

 breakwater installed. 



/. The offshore breakwater will not interfere with the migration of 

 wave-induced sediment into the cove for waves from northwest; 

 however, for waves from southwest, the breakwater will prevent 

 some sediment from penetrating as deeply shoreward in the cove as 

 it did under existing conditions. 



g. The offshore breakwater plan will have no adverse impact on surge 

 conditions due to long-period wave energy in Noyo Harbor, Dolphin 

 Marina, and the lower reaches of the river.
