A total of 38,300 tons of stone was placed at a cost of $264,000. Two sections of the east jetty were repaired and a 100-ft-long jetty tie-in constructed. A 650-ft section of the concrete cap, located about 5,400 ft from the seaward end, was buttressed with stone. The design geometry was identical to that used in 1966 repairs (Figure 10). A 300-ft section and tie-in section, located 6,900 and 8,500 ft from the outer end, respectively, were built up to + ft mlg, with a 6-ft crown width and 1 side slopes. The repairs were made with 300-lb to 2-ton stone, and a 1-ft-thick layer of shell was placed as bedding for the Jetty tie-in. A total of 16,500 tons of stone and 500 cu yd of shell was used for an approximate total cost of $164,000. No new work has been done since 1971, and the project has been essentially inactive since 1978. All deep-draft traffic now uses Southwest Pass. Figure 11 is a 1977 photograph of the east Figure 11.
