Barnegat Inlet Jetties 



Barnegat, New Jersey 



Philadelphia District 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1940 Two converging stone jetties were constructed north and south of the 

 inlet for channel protection. The north jetty was 4,675 ft long, and 

 the south jetty was 2,820 ft long (Figure 40). Design crest eleva- 

 tion was +2.0 ft mlw. 



1944 The shoreward 100 ft of the south jetty was lowered. 



1950 Repairs were made to the seaward end of the north jetty. 



1954 Repairs were made to the shoreward portion of the south jetty. 



1972- To prevent sand passing through and waves overtopping the north 

 1974 jetty, the shoreward 3,700 ft was raised to +8.0 ft mlw and made 



impermeable. The center line of the section repaired was offset 12.0 

 ft toward the inlet from the existing section (Figure 40). 



1985 Due to instability and continuous shoaling of the navigation channel, 

 proposals are being considered to construct a new south jetty. Por- 

 tions of the jetties have crest elevations of +10.0 ft mlw. These 

 sections were probably built as part of repair work conducted in 1950 

 and 1954. Figure 41 is an aerial photograph of the jetties in 1984.
