  • The number of proposed breakwaters for this project will be between two to four and placed approximately 200 feet offshore (from Mean High Water elevation). Each breakwater will be constructed of Type II rip rap for armor stone and VDOT Class III stone for core stone. The weight of material for each breakwater is approximately 10,000 tons. Breakwaters are to be placed on 12-inch-thick marine mattress with geotextile fabric. Water depths for breakwater placement range between -9.5 ft and -12.0 ft NAVD88. Each breakwater will be constructed to a crest height of +7 ft NAVD88. Material for breakwaters may be transported to the project site either by land or sea. Construction of breakwaters may occur either by land or sea. Various work restrictions are expected due to active rocket launches within the vicinity of the project site, which will require all construction activities to stop and personnel to vacate the premises for hours to day(s).
