The project is limited to the installation of 69 linear feet of new seawall, 4 feet lakeward of the

will be staged on the barge on site. No vegetation will be removed as part of this project.
The project will be constructed using welders, power tools, trucks, and a barge with a
mounted excavator and pneumatic hammer.
