The proposed shore protection plan provides for 900 feet of revetment between the right bank of the Talofofo River mouth and the existing revetment at Gayloup Point. Revetment construction would be preceded by excavation of about 16,000 cubic yards of beach sand. Construction of the revetment would result in a low continuous rock structure from the Talofofo Bridge to Gayloup Point where there was once only sand. The structure would impair access to the shoreline to some extent and the proposed grading and grassing would result in a change in the existing sparse vegetation. The improvements would stabilize 2.2 acres of land between the revetment and the highway, and sand is expected to accumulate on the seaward side of the revetment during most of the year. The plans are consistent with the Guam Outdoor Recreation Plan and the revetment alignment serves the interests of both surfers and picnickers. Adverse environmental impacts are discussed.
