B-839S SCOUR MONITORING DEVICE DATA<br />

Sonar installed on upstream nose of easternmost pier (pier 4).<br />

One channel 1 float-out installed 3 feet deep in 6 foot riprap layer at upstream nose of easternmost pier (pier 4).<br />

One channel 2 float-out installed 3 feet deep in 6 foot riprap layer at each upstream nose of center pier (pier 3)<br />

and westernmost pier (pier 2).<br />

Elevation data from contract 1108 and field measurements during installations:<br />
