Preface 



The study reported herein was conducted as part of the Monitoring Completed 

 Navigation Projects (MCNP) Program (formerly Monitoring Completed Coastal 

 Projects) Program. Work was carried out imder Work Unit IIMIO, "St. Paul 

 Harbor, Alaska." Overall program management for MCNP is accomplished by the 

 Hydraulic Design Section of Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

 (HQUSACE). The Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), (in FY 97 the 

 Coastal Engineering Research Center and Hydraulics Laboratory merged into CHL), 

 U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), is responsible for 

 technical and data management and support for HQUSACE review and technology 

 transfer. Program Monitors for the MCNP program are Messrs. John H. 

 Lockhart, Jr., Barry W. Holliday, and Charles B. Chesnutt (HQUSACE). The 

 Program Manager is Ms. Carolyn M. Holmes (CHL). 



The work was conducted during the period July 1993 through June 1996 under 

 the general supervision of Dr. James R. Houston, Mr. Charles C. Calhoun, Jr., 

 Director and Assistant Director, CHL, and under the direct supervision of 

 Messrs. C. E. Chatham, Jr., Chief, Wave Dynamics Division, and Dennis G. 

 Markle, Chief, Wave Processes Branch, CHL. Principal investigators for the study 

 were Mr. Robert R. Bottin, Jr., Research Physical Scientist, CHL, and Mr. Kenneth 

 J. Eisses, Hydraulic Engineer, U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska (CENPA). This 

 report was prepared by Messrs. Bottin and Eisses. 



Limited ground surveys, aerial photography, and photogrammetric analysis of 

 the breakwater were conducted by Richard B. Davis, Inc., Smith River, CA, and 

 bathymetric surveys of the harbor were conducted by LCMS Limited, Inc., 

 Anchorage, AK, imder contract to the Corps of Engineers. Acknowledgements also
