Construction and Rehabilitation History
There were areas of partial washouts of stone, settlement, and
1985
(Cont.) interlocking capstones. The seaward 300 ft was completely unraveled,
with all stones scattered (Figure 1 ) It was determined that the
jetties had served their function of inlet stabilization and they
were not leaking significant amounts of sand.
1986
Plans call for rehabilitation of the jetties. The east jetty will
need new capstones and core stones where there are complete washouts,
approximately 450 ft. Original stones will be removed and reset
where settlement and sloughing has occurred, approximately 700 ft.
The 300-ft east jetty head section will be completely rebuilt with
new and original stone. A blanket will be
for scour protec-
tion. A 5.0-ft-thick blanket using 1,000-lb stone will be laid on
the existing bottom to prevent additional scouring of the west jetty
toe. New capstone and core stone are needed to supplement the dis-
placed stones of the west jetty head. The section,will be rebuilt
using existing stone but will consist of two layers of armor stone.
