Project is located: in CLAYTON in JEFFERSON COUNTY Project Description:
The Town of Clayton proposes the following changes to the existing public boat launch at the upper
Landing on Grindstone Island as part of the NYS Municipal REDI program.

The existing wooden gangway, fixed dock, concrete abutments, sheet pilling and stone retaining wall
will be removed. The stone from the retaining wall will be reused as rip rap on the western edge of
the new boat ramp. The rip rap will extend along 30 feet of shoreline and be no more than 10 feet
wide and 5 feet high. Seven 24’Lx5’W floating finger docks will be added to a floating dock. Each finger dock will be
anchored with an 8’x8’x1′ concrete block.

Approximately 2,572 square feet of river bottom will be dredged to accommodate the new boat ramp at
standard slope. A total of 165 cubic yards of sediment will be removed and disposed of at an upland
location. The area at the toe of the ramp where rip rap will be placed will be dredged 1.5 feet
while the area where the ramp will be installed will be dredged no more than 2 feet. Exact dredging
depths will vary due to differences in the depth to the existing river bottom.

Fine rip rap (21 cubic yards) will be placed at the toe of the new 114′-8-1/2″Lx28’W concrete slab
ramp. The rip rap will be no more than 8’Lx4’Wx16″D. Crushed stone (96 cubic yards) will be added
