Little Wicomico River Jetties 



Norththumberland County, Virginia 



Baltimore District 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1937 Two stone jetties were constructed to lengths of 1,000 and 1,300 ft 

 north and south, respectively (Figure 67). Timber pile jetties were 

 also placed at the landward ends of the stone jetties. Lengths of 

 the timber piles were 357 ft north and 650 ft south. 



1970 The north timber pile jetty was repaired at a cost of $51,822. 



1981 Survey of the jetties indicated the seaward 300 ft of each jetty had 

 crown elevations ranging from -2.0 to +6.0 ft and no semblance of a 

 crown width. 



1985 The jetties were to be rehabilitated to minimize shoaling of the fed- 

 eral channel. The seaward 290 ft of each jetty was to be made sand 

 tight by placing core stone and cover stone on the outer face at a 

 1 -V : 1 . 5-H slope. Crown elevation was to be +4.0 ft mlw, with a crown 

 width up to 15.0 ft along the sections with crown elevations below 

 +4.0 ft mlw. Toe protection was to be provided by a 2.0-ft-thick by 

 5.0-ft-wide extension of the core stone. A double layer of 1.0-ton 

 cover stone was to be used. It is not known if the work was done.
