SEAWALLS, STAIRS, AND RIP RAP

We can do work such as new seawalls, seawall repair, stairs, and riprap during the drawdown on Lakes Hamilton and Catherine. “Natural undisturbed shoreline provides valuable nursery habitat and food source for newly spawned fish. To mitigate the impact to the environment caused by the construction of retaining walls, riprap (rock 4” to 12” in diameter) is required along the entire length of all new walls constructed, up to or just above the surface of normal summertime pool levels with a ratio of 1:1. In addition to protecting the environment, riprap absorbs wave action that causes erosion and damages docks. While a permit is required, there is no permit fee to place riprap along the base of existing walls.” (Page 7, Entergy Hydro’s Single Family Dock Application Packet)
