Construction and Rehabilitation History 



A 4,950-ft jetty was constructed to stabilize the inlet (Figure 21) 

 Crest elevation was +8.0 ft mlw, crown width was 12.0 ft, and side 

 slopes were 1V:2H. The jetty rested on a 3-ft-thick blanket which 

 extended 50 ft seaward of the jetty toe. 



A survey indicated the sand trapping capacity of the jetty was 

 reached, and the jetty was in fair condition. 



No further repair or maintenance information has been found.
