129. The breakwater required repairs in 1950 and 1954 then was restored
to its design height in 1960. In addition, the breakwater was extended
northerly, and a
easterly spur was added to provide additional protec-
tion against southeasterly storms. In 1971 the channel was widened to 200
of dredging. A chronology of events related to the

Neah Bay, Washington
130. Neah Bay is located on the Strait of Juan de Fuca about 5 miles
east of Cape Flattery at the northwest tip of the State of Washington. The
project includes an 8,000-ft rubble-mound breakwater extending from the west
side of Neah Bay to Waada Island and a revetment extending west from Baada
Point for 3,000 ft.
131. The breakwater was authorized in 1938 and constructed during 1941
to
The breakwater was repeatedly damaged by displacement of armor stone
during winter storms, and by 1949 it had been breached in about ten places.
The breakwater was restored in 1949 and again in 1959. By 1978 the breakwater
had again been breached in 10 to 12 places. The westerly 4,200 ft of the
breakwater were rehabilitated in 1980.
132. Construction of the breakwater resulted in sustained erosion of
material from the beach west of Baada Point. The Crown-Zellerbach Corp., the
US Coast Guard, and the Indian Agency, therefore, constructed a 2,200-ft
revetment to protect the shoreline. In 1956, the Corps of Engineers rein-
forced the existing revetment and extended
westerly.

Olympia Harbor, Washington
134. East Bay Marina is located in Olympia Harbor at the southern end
of Puget Sound, about 62 miles south of Seattle, Washington. The project in-
cludes a marina, an entrance channel, two access channels, and a 656-ft long
floating breakwater.
of the breakwater was completed in 1983. The break-
water is a floating concrete structure consisting of seven hollow rectangular

shore. No repairs or structural problems have been reported. A chronology of
