Port Angeles Harbor and Ediz Hook 



Port Angeles, Washington 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1945 The project was authorized for expansion of the small-boat harbor and 

 construction of the breakwaters. 



1946 The breakwater was constructed of earth embankment core held in place 

 by a two-step pile and plank bulkhead with the sides and slopes pro- 

 tected by rock. The top width of the earth embankment was about 



100 ft; and the length of the breakwater was 750 ft. 



1958 Plans for expansion of the boat basin and construction of the break- 

 waters were adopted. 



1959 Port Angeles Harbor mooring basin was completed, including a 1,026-ft 

 main breakwater and a 145-ft entrance breakwater, both of rock rein- 

 forced treated wood pile construction for a 5-ft design wave. The 

 main breakwater was constructed to a top elevation of +17 ft mllw and 

 left a 100-ft entrance gap between the main breakwater and an exist- 

 ing 750-ft long breakwater, with the gap protected by the entrance 

 breakwater. The main breakwater was originally designed for rubble- 

 mound construction, but it was modified to rock reinforced treated 

 wood pile at the request of local interests to expedite the project. 



1985 The harbor and cross section of the breakwater are illustrated in 



Figure 75. There are no records of needed repairs or rehabilitation.
