  • Construction of approximately 283 feet of stone sill and intermittent marsh toe revetment with grading and marsh planting behind the new stone sill
  • Repairs to an existing stone revetment for 20 feet to the west
  • Demolition and removal of existing wood bulkhead
  • Construction of approximately 443 feet of new stone sill
