Storm Damage Repair Progress
PHASE ONE
PROJECT 1 | LITTLE STAIRS BEACH
Damage: Storm activity undermined the concrete stair foundation and caused structural deterioration.
Repair: Storm debris was cleared, ledge was secured with waterproof grout, and the concrete stairs and platforms were rebuilt and stabilized.
PROJECT 2 | MOTHER’S BEACH STAIRS
Damage: Storms damaged the stairs and created an unstable path to Wedding Rock, as well as cliff edge instability.
Repair: Stone steps and cliffside boulders were installed and pinned to ledge, and the concrete stair system was repaired to ensure safe access.
PROJECT 6 | BENCH 12 RIPRAP DISPLACED
Damage: Soil beneath Bench 12 was washed away by wave action, exposing the masonry foundation.
Repair: Large boulders were added on the seaward side, pinned to ledge, with backfill, erosion control matting, and new shrubs planted for stabilization.
PROJECT 7 | BENCH 22
Damage: Erosion exposed the bench foundation and nearby vegetation root systems.
Repair: Riprap boulders were installed and pinned to ledge, with backfill of topsoil and gravel, and erosion-resistant vegetation planted to stabilize the site.
PROJECT 8 | BENCHES 23 & 24
Damage: Storms eroded and exposed the bench foundations.
Repair: Pinned stones and geotextile fabric were installed to retain soil, with gravel added around the pads for additional stability.
PROJECT 9 | BENCH 25
Damage: Severe erosion undercut the bench foundation and surrounding soil.
Repair: A 20-foot boulder wall was installed and pinned to ledge. Geotextile fabric, backfill, gravel, and native plantings were added to restore and protect the area.
PROJECT 10 | WINTERBERRY MEADOW
Damage: Vertical erosion exposed bedrock and destabilized the area.
Repair: A pinned boulder revetment was installed with geotextile fabric, topsoil, erosion control matting, and seeding to stabilize and restore the meadow.
PROJECT 12 | BENCH 30
Damage: Storms undermined the mortared bench foundation, breaking away stones.
Repair: The bench pad was expanded with new mortared stones and the undermined areas were filled and stabilized.
PROJECT 13 | BETWEEN BENCHES 30 & 31
Damage: Slope erosion exposed roots and bare earth along a 35-foot stretch.
Repair: A new 35-foot boulder wall was pinned to ledge, backfilled with gravel, and replanted with vegetation for erosion control.
PROJECT 14 | BENCH 31
Damage: Erosion undermined the bench pad and nearby walkway, stripping vegetation.
Repair: Boulders were installed to protect the area, with geotextile fabric, gravel, loam, and native vegetation added to stabilize and restore the site.
PROJECT 19 | IN FRONT OF BENCH 34
Damage: Erosion undermined approximately 135 square feet of soil near the paved walk.
Repair: Gravel was placed adjacent to the sidewalk to reinforce and protect the pavement.
