The authorized plan for navigation improvement consists of the following: dredging an entrance channel, 300 feet wide and 12 feet deep through the offshore bar, a distance of approximately 3,300 feet; an inner channel, 90 feet wide and 10 feet deep from the entrance channel to the major berthing area at the old Army crash boat dock in the village of Murrells Inlet, a distance of 15,700 feet, where it would terminate with a turning basin; a 16-acre diked disposal area to accomodate shoal material found unsuitable for beach nourishment; a jetty on the north side of the inlet approximately 3,300 feet long, having a low weir section over which littoral materials pass en route to a deposition basin; a south jetty, approximately 2,300 feet long; and sand transition dikes connecting the jetty structures to the shore. The main recreational feature in the authorized project is an 8-foot wide fishing walkway to be constructed along the entire length of the south jetty. For public access, an existing road from Huntington Beach State Park would extend from the present parking area to the proposed south jetty. Public accomodations in the park would be readily available for fishermen using the walkway.
