the north and south jetties, respectively. The outer 990 ft and
1940
450 ft of the north and south jetties were brought up to
ft mlw
(Cont)
with a 12-ft crest and
mlw crest elevation, a
head section of each jetty had a
24-ft-diam crest, and
side slopes radiating away from the
crown. A total of 18,900 tons of 4- to 12-ton granite stone was
placed. (Other work consisted of placing 750 tons of 25- to 150-lb
chinking stone and handling of 1,200 pieces of old stone.) Total
cost of the repairs was 2,700.
1978-
As part of harbor deepening improvements, the seaward 200 ft of the
1979
north jetty was realigned parallel to the entrance channel (Fig-
5 . The realignment allowed the
channel width
between the
jetties to be increased from 300 to 450 ft. The estimated realign-
ment cost was ,000.
The inner ends of the jetties were repaired by rebuilding the armor
1984-
stone layer with new and existing stone. To allow the jetties to be
1985
used as fishing piers, void spaces were chinked with smaller stone,
and a layer of asphalt was piled on the crown. Prior to the re-
pairs, the inner ends were in very poor condition with numerous void
spaces while the remaining parts of the jetties were considered to
be in satisfactory condition.
