for stabilization (Figure 2 ) The jetty was constructed in three
sections with lengths of 1,400 ft, 1,400 ft, and 950 ft, landward to
seaward, respectively. The design geometry for each section was:
Section 1 : Crest elevation of
mlw, 6.0-ft crown width,
side slopes, and one layer of cover and capstone.
Section 2 Crest elevation of
:
mlw, 8.0-ft crown width,
side slopes, and one layer of cover and capstone.
Section 3: Crest elevation of
mlw, 15.0-ft crown width,
side slopes, and one layer cover and capstone.
The jetty rested on a 1.0-ft-thick blanket and a
apron
which extended seaward of the toe 500 ft. A jetty was to be built
west of the inlet if necessary.
Repairs were made to the jetty beginning 2,500 ft from the landward

end, and extending seaward 250 ft. The cost of repairs was ,426,
and 1,926 tons of stone were used.
Repairs were made by rearranging 212 tons of stone on the seaward
