WJFW-TV Channel 12 did a piece on this site. You can watch it by clicking on the story above. When rock rip rap is sent by chute to the shoreline about 50 feet away, as seen in this video, it helps to protect the landscape and the shoreline. The contractor will lay all rock by hand.
Small Correction: Contractors are hired by landowners, not Oneida County. The County designs and coordinates the project.
