Quillayute River Boat Basin 



La Push, Washington 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1929 Congress authorized a Jetty and a dike at the river mouth. The spit 

 was maintained by local interests. 



1931 Jetty, dike, and bank revetment were constructed using 737 cu yd of 

 rock for the dike and 17,226 tons of rock for the jetty. 



1932 Storms damaged the jetty and the dike. Both were repaired and ex- 

 tended using 15,411 tons of rock. 



1934 Settling was detected on the dike and Jetty. 



1939 Maintenance of the Jetty and dike required 4,900 tons of rock. 



1941 Repairs were made to the jetty and dike. 



1950 The Corps recommended to Congress a deeper and longer channel and a 

 raised jetty. 



1954 Congress authorized a channel, a boat basin, and a raised jetty (to 

 +15 ft rallw). 



1955 The spit was breached in November. 



1956 Port Angeles repaired the breach in the spit. The Corps dredged the 

 channel, placing the dredge deposits on the spit, and assumed respon- 

 sibility for repairing the spit. The spit was breached again in 

 December, and the Corps performed emergency repairs. 



1957 The boat basin was dredged, and a channel was dredged from the basin 

 to Smith Slough. Dredged materials were deposited on the spit. The 

 jetty was raised with 39,800 tons of rock, and emergency repairs were 

 made on the dike with 2,000 cu yd of rock. 



1959 The channel seaward of the basin was dredged. 



i960 The jetty was raised and extended landward using 7,938 tons of rock. 



1961 The jetty was repaired with 3,480 tons of rock. 



1962 The timber training wall was built for the boat basin to help prevent 

 shoaling, and the basin was dredged. In November, 135 ft of the 

 recently completed training wall was undercut by the river and 

 failed.
