“…Meanwhile, damage due to excessive wave action was occurring in the Harbor interior and to vessels moored within the Harbor. Exceedingly high cost and maintenance issues resulted in an extensive monitoring effort to evaluate the design process and to identify the causes of excessive wave energy in the harbor (McGehee et al 1997). New physical model studies conducted at ERDC evaluated possible solutions (Carver and Wright 1995;Acuff and Bottin 1995).…”

“…Some of the methods employed included site inspections, dive inspections, side-scan sonar surveys, geotechnical data collection, and wave and water level data collection. Details of the initial monitoring conducted during 1985-1992 can be found in McGehee et al (1997). Results of this initial monitoring are summarized in Hales and Richie (2004) as follows:…”

“…An improved hindcast, supplemented with wave data, produced an updated extremal analysis. The original 13-ft design wave was determined to be a 2-year event (McGehee et al 1997).…”

“…Bums Harbor was originally monitored during the period 1985 through 1989, however, detailed, quantifiable positions of the above-water breakwater armor stone were not obtained. The effort studied structural stability, geotechnical stability, and waves and water levels (McGehee et al 1997). Data collection included site inspections, dive inspections, side-scan sonar surveys, geotechnical data, and wave and water-level data.…”

ABSTRACT:This report presents results of inspections of rubble-mound coastal structures monitored previously under the Monitoring Completed Navigation Projects (MCNP) Program. Expedient, low-cost walking inspections were performed at 11 sites. Positions of breakwater and jetty armor units were compared with their positions in previous aerial photography and photogrammetric surveys. Settlement of portions of the structures as well as voids in their armor cover also was noted, and photographs of the structures were obtained. Summaries of inspection results as well as recommendations are presented in this report. The work was conducted under the "Periodic Inspections" work unit of the MCNP Program.

The study reported herein was conducted as part of the Monitoring Completed Navigation Projects (MCNP) Program, formerly the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Program. Work was carried out under Work Unit 11M-7, "Periodic Inspections." Overall program management for MCNP is accomplished by the Hydraulic Design Section of Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE). The Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), is responsible for technical and data management support for HQUSACE review and technology transfer. Technical Monitors for the MCNP program are Messrs.
