A plan of improvement is recommended to reduce the size of storm waves entering the harbor by adding a 70-foot extension to the south breakwater and a 327-foot arm to the north breakwater. Harbor improvement will benefit locally-based and transient recreational craft by providing increased protection from damaging storm waves to the inner harbor. The proposed action will cause a temporary increase in turbidity, noise, and vessel traffic during construction. Fish in the vicinity of construction will be temporarily displaced. Lake bottom area will be lost as the extensions are built.
