Breakwater Reconstruction at Sandford Small Craft Harbour, Yarmouth County, NS
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
The Small Craft Harbours Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada proposes to undertake a breakwater reconstruction and expansion project at Sandford Harbour, located in the community of Sandford, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia. The breakwater currently contains remnants of a failed crib wharf which will be removed to the corestone limits of the new breakwater structure and disposed of in a provincially-approved manner. Once the wharf removal is complete, new and reinstated corestone will be built up on either side of the wharf remnants. Two layers of filterstone will be placed on top of the corestone and overlain with two layers of armourstone. The work could result in a total footprint change of up to 700 m2. The crest elevation will be approximately +7.5 m above chart datum with a width of 4.5 m, transitioning into an elevation of +8.3 m above chart datum with a crest width of 3.7 m at the toe of the breakwater. Side slopes will be constructed at a general 2:1 ratio, with the inner side of the toe increasing the slope slightly to accommodate for the increased elevation. Existing armourstone from the current structure will be salvaged for reuse where possible.
