Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Humble Canal, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Coast Guard has issued a 
temporary deviation to the regulations governing the opening of a 
drawbridge over the Humble Canal, from March 7 through May 4, 1994. 
This deviation requires the Louisiana Department of Transportation and 
Development (LDOTD) to close the bridge for a continuous 59-day period. 
The purpose of the closure is to allow LDOTD to stabilize and 
strengthen the bridge so that the South Terrebonne Parish Tidewater 
Management & Conservation District will be able to haul dirt and heavy 
equipment for the construction of a hurricane protection levee south of 
the bridge.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The period of deviation begins on Monday, March 7, 
1994, and continues through Wednesday, May 4, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rose A. Payne, Bridge Program Manager, Eighth Coast Guard District. 
Telephone number (504) 589-2965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The only economic consequences involve the 
rerouting of navigation presently using Humble Canal. However, an 
alternate route is available via Bayou Terrebonne and Lake Barre. This 
deviation is for the purpose of providing a specific time frame to 
commence construction of a hurricane protection levee for many 
residents living in the low areas of South Terrebonne Parish.
    This deviation from normal operating regulations is authorized in 
accordance with the provisions of Title 33 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, Secs. 117.35 and 117.37.


    Dated: February 23, 1994.
J.C. Card,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.
