Document Description
The project is limited to the installation of a 114-foot steel sheet pile seawall to fortify the existing shoreline.
The new seawall will be approximately 12 feet high and consist of approximately 60 sheet piles. The new
seawall will be constructed directly in front of the existing cinderblock seawall and approximately 105 yards
of light lava rock will be backfilled behind the wall. Construction will be completed via a 40-foot by 65-foot
barge equipped with a hydraulic vibrohammer. The Muller-Vibrator MS-4 vibrohammer will drive individual
piles to a specified engineered depth of 12 feet below the lakebed. No demolition of the existing cinderblock
seawall will occur. Materials and equipment will be floated to the project location on the barge. No native
trees or vegetation will be removed as a result of project activities. In-water Project activities shall not take
place outside of the CLH work window (October 15 - December 31) unless otherwise approved by CDFW in
writing.
