Report Details
The beach armoring approved under OPRD permit 644-10 was begun and completed in mid-Novembber. They did obsrve the approved beach encroachment of 6 feet. The rocks were covered with a layer of beach sand over their face.(EDIT CHANGE)The lower portions, which are washed into or away from the underlying of the rock. THE RIPRAP will NOT divert wave energy from behing shifted to the bluff on either side of the armoring, as advertized by the contracting engineer in the project application. AS FIRST REPORTED PUBLISHED HERE I WAS SEEN TO ENDORSE THE ENGINEERS EFFORTS WHICH I DO NOT. I SEE NOTHING IN THE STRUCTURE AS INSTALLED THAT WILL PREVENT WAVE THRUST FROM BEING DIVERTED TO THE ADJACENT UNPROTECTED BLUFFS.
