ALBERT WHITTED AIRPORT<br />

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM<br />

SHORELINE PROTECTION<br />

1.0 BACKGROUND<br />

Albert Whitted Airport (SPG) is surrounded on three sides by water. The east side, which is the<br />

focus <strong>of</strong> this Technical Memorandum, directly faces Tampa Bay and can be affected by wave<br />

run-up, erosion and in certain weather conditions storm surge. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Petersburg</strong><br />

intends to protect the shoreline <strong>of</strong> SPG in order to reduce further erosion <strong>of</strong> the airport land.<br />

The purpose <strong>of</strong> this Technical Memorandum is to investigate the feasibility <strong>of</strong> transporting<br />

approximately 15,000 cubic yards (cy) <strong>of</strong> Pier concrete waste material by a barge and/or by<br />

truck to SPG. The material would then be re-used for shoreline protection purposes along the<br />

eastern most limits <strong>of</strong> the airport property. The goal would be to provide added sea-wall<br />

protection for Runway 18-36 at SPG in the areas depicted in the Exhibits 1 and 2 below.<br />
