Public Notice          Figures

The applicant proposes to construct both a living shoreline and nearshore breakwaters to provide shoreline protection from erosion, and a pier for park enhancement. The project would use two types of breakwaters - primary breakwaters and gap protection breakwaters. The project proposes to fill approximately 0.41 acre (3,510 cubic yards [CY]) of unvegetated bay bottom for primary breakwaters. The primary breakwater structures would be constructed parallel to the shoreline and vary in dimensions. The maximum bottom width of the primary breakwaters would be approximately 28.5 feet and have a maximum length of 130 feet. The proposed gap breakwaters would be placed approximately five to ten feet shoreward between the primary breakwaters and fill approximately 0.08 acre (475 CY) of unvegetated bay bottom. The gap breakwaters would vary in dimensions but have a maximum width of approximately 15 feet and a maximum length of 50 feet. The combined footprint of the breakwater structures total 0.49 acre.
