Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1981 A 200-ft-long breakwater was constructed at an estimated cost of 



$140,000 with 1,750 tons of stone to reduce wave action in the inner 

 harbor area (Figure 57). Crown elevation was +6.0 ft mlw and allowed 

 for expected settling to +5.0 ft mlw. Crown width was 6.0 ft, and 

 side slopes were 1V:1.5H. The structure consisted of two layers of 

 armor stone, 750 to 1,200 lb and 70 to 130 lb, and a 1- to 50-lb core 

 and bedding layer. Design wave height and period were 2.3 ft and 

 4.0 sec. 



1986 No further repair or maintenance information has been found.
