Construction and Rehabilitation History
1963
Rehabilitation of 1,000 ft of the protective riprap slope on the
lakeside of the west breakwater (Figures 226 and 227) was performed.
1979
Portions of the west breakwater were rehabilitated (Figure 229). The

was installed along the lakeside of the riprap slope. The eastern
portion of
east breakwater was in poor condition during a site
inspection.

Many of these units were broken during initial
placement. A concentration of broken dolosse near the top of the
slope at the head was believed to be remnants of those broken during
the 1982 storm. In general, dolosse are generally confined to the
upper third of the structure slope and are at about 2 percent of the
total number placed.

awarded to rehabilitate an additional 3,300 ft of the

20-ton armor-stone mix. Model testing was conducted prior to reha-
(Markle and Dubose 1985).

the latest rehabilitation, the structures are considered to be in
good condition. Aerial photos showing the Cleveland Harbor struc-
tures are presented in Figures 230-233.
