- 9. Project Description/Overview
- This project is intended to construct improvements to the southeast corner of the Long Beach Smallcraft Harbor. The improvements will be in the form of a constructed bulkhead wall which will provide protection and stabilization at that location, which has historically been damaged repetitively. Not only do these repetitive damages and the subsequent repairs cause significant economic damage to the City, but they additionally cause substantial impact to the operation and function of the Harbor, a critical public service in the City. Furthermore, the damage which occurs during a storm generally includes large amounts of material washing up into the parking area near the project area, and also material washing away into the MS Sound. A bulkhead wall will help ameliorate all these impacts. The City has already identified this project as a critical step in protecting the Harbor infrastructure and has procured design and permitting services for the project. The design is nearly completed and permits are in hand for the work. While construction could begin within months, the funding of the project is incomplete.
