1. Restoration of the existing shoreline, including an armored approach with vegetation above the riprap. The project is designed to address pressing shoreline erosion and protect both historical and ecological assets. The project scope is divided into two key areas: shoreline stabilization and berm and jetty reinforcement. The shoreline segment spans 250 linear feet between the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Jamestown Ferry Pier and the Jamestown Settlement Pier. The scope for this area includes the installation of riprap to prevent further erosion and the establishment of a living shoreline. The project will incorporate native vegetation specifically selected for its resilience to tidal forces, soil composition, and local light conditions, supporting erosion control and fostering biodiversity. 2.The second project segment involves reinforcing the existing berm and jetty, a structure that has suffered from cumulative weather damage, including storm surges and high tides that occasionally submerge these protective features. The berm and jetty are essential for maintaining the integrity of the harbor, protecting the historical fleet docked there, and enhancing the historical experience for visitors. Repairs will include the placement of VDOT Class II riprap along the berm and jetty’s length to bolster their structural stability and resilience against high-energy wave action.
