Construction and Rehabilitation History
Congress authorized a jetty and a dike at the river mouth. The spit
1929
was maintained by local interests.
Jetty, dike, and bank revetment were constructed using 737 cu yd of
1931
rock for the dike and 17,226 tons of rock for the jetty,
Storms damaged the jetty and the dike. Both were repaired and ex-
1932
tended using 15,411 tons of rock.
Settling was detected on the dike and jetty.
1934
Maintenance of the jetty and dike required 4,900 tons of rock.
1939
Repairs were made to the jetty and dike.
1941
The Corps recommended to Congress a deeper and longer channel and a
1950
raised jetty.
Congress authorized a channel, a boat basin, and a raised jetty (to
1954
+15 ft mllw).
The spit was breached in November.
1955
Port Angeles repaired the breach in the spit. The Corps dredged the
1956
channel, placing the dredge deposits on the spit, and assumed respon-
sibility for repairing the spit. The spit was breached again in
December, and the Corps performed emergency repairs.
The boat basin was dredged, and a channel was dredged from the basin
1957
to Smith Slough. Dredged materials were deposited on the spit. The
jetty was raised with 39,800 tons of rock, and emergency repairs were
made on the dike with 2,000 cu yd of rock.
The channel seaward of the basin was dredged.
1959
The jetty was raised and extended landward using 7,938 tons of rock.
1960
The jetty was repaired with 3,480 tons of rock.
1961
The timber training wall was built for the boat basin to help prevent
1962
shoaling, and the basin was dredged. In November, 135 ft of the
recently completed training wall was undercut by the river and
failed.
