The affected areas must be repaired. <br />· All the hardware throughout the docks exhibits moderated to heavy corrosion <br />and should be painted with protective materials at a minimum or replaced. <br />· The ufilities throughout the docks appear to be inoperable and exhibit exposed <br />wires,(- broken connectors and missing cover lids at some locations. These <br />utilities should be restored. <br />· The steel gate at the entrance to the docks is moderated corroded and should <br />be painted with protective materials or replaced. <br />I <br /> <br />. The dock's structure main components are in sound condition and only the minor <br />repairs outlined above should be performed in order to bring the docks to full <br />operational stahdards. <br /> <br />Fishing Pier. <br />· Most fimber piles exhibit severe marine borer parasite damage with up to 90% <br />section loss. <br />I The ~teel main girders exhibit typically severe corrosion with up to 100% <br />sectioh loss and large cracked areas.
