East Rockaway (Debs) Inlet Jetty 



Long Beach, New York 



New York District 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1934 A 3,750-ft-long jetty was constructed on the east side of the inlet 

 for stabilization (Figure 23). The jetty was constructed in three 

 sections with lengths of 1,400 ft, 1,400 ft, and 950 ft, landward to 

 seaward, respectively. The design geometry for each section was: 



Section 1: Crest elevation of +8.0 ft mlw, 6.0-ft crown width, 1:1 

 side slopes, and one layer of cover and capstone. 



Section 2: Crest elevation of +8.0 ft mlw, 8.0-ft crown width, 1:1 

 side slopes, and one layer of cover and capstone. 



Section 3: Crest elevation of +10.0 ft mlw, 15.0-ft crown width, 

 1V:1.5H side slopes, and one layer cover and capstone. 



The jetty rested on a 1.0-ft-thick blanket and a 1.0-ft-thick apron 

 which extended seaward of the toe 500 ft. A jetty was to be built 

 west of the inlet if necessary. 



1935 Repairs were made to the jetty beginning 2,500 ft from the landward 

 end, and extending seaward 250 ft. The cost of repairs was $14,426, 

 and 1,926 tons of stone were used. 



1941 Repairs were made by rearranging 212 tons of stone on the seaward 

 610 ft at a cost of $6,000. An additional 375 tons were placed on 

 the east side of the seaward end at a cost of $1,670. 



1946 Twenty-four hundred tons of stone were placed on the jetty at a cost 

 of $78,000. The jetty was considered to be in good condition. 



1963 Repairs were made using 800 tons of stone at a cost of $18,411, and 

 the structure was in good condition with the exception of minor 

 repairs. 



1986 No further repair or maintenance information is available on the east 

 jetty. The west jetty has not been built. The project has been 

 deauthorized.
