suitable design of all alternatives tested. The revetment section with its 

 6.3-ton primary armor stone demonstrated a favorable stability response when 

 subjected to the most severe wave and water level conditions expected in the 

 prototype. Also, there was no indication of problems related to the inter- 

 action and combined stability of the seawall and revetment. The seawall cur- 

 vature proposed by SAW was found acceptable in minimizing wave forces when 

 compared with the vertical wall; however, a structural modification to the 

 crown of the recurved seawall was included in the final design. This modifi- 

 cation eliminated wave overtopping for all but the most severe water level and 

 wave conditions.
