The existing timber bulkhead primarily consists of timber sheathing (2" x 9 secured by upper, middle and lower timber walers (6" x 6") on the seaward face and a timber clamp (4" x 6" ) along the landward face, in turn secured by timber pilings (12" (D). The proposed vinyl-sheathed bulkhead will replace the existing timber- sheathed bulkhead "in-place" and will consist of vinyl sheathing (i.e., C-Loc or similar), an upper, middle and lower timber waler (6" x 8"), secured by timber pilings (12" (D). The timber pilings will be secured by timber deadmen (8.0' L x 8" 4)) & timber lay-logs (6.0' x 8.0' L x 6.0" (D), all attached by tie-rods (16.0' L). A timber top C-LOCVINYL SHEET PILING cap (2" x 18") is proposed to sit atop the reconstructed bulkhead. Additionally, applicant proposes to reconstruct beach access stairs, which will consist of a seaward platform (3.0' x 4.0') and hinged stairway (3.0' x 15.0') to be lowered during use, and stored in the "up" position during non-use. Finally, applicant proposes to establish a "Non-TurfBuf]er" along the landward side of the reconstructed bulkhead (18.0' W). NOTES: . — • Reconstructed Bulkhead will not encroach any further seaward than the existing bulkhead. • AHW located along the seaward side of both existing and reconstructed bulkheads. • No proposed fill is to be brought onto the site. All excavated fill to be returned as backfill landward of the reconstructed bulkhead.
