33 CFR Part 117

[CGD11-00-011]


Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Sacramento River, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District has approved a 
temporary deviation to the regulations governing the opening of the 
Isleton bascule drawbridge at mile 18.7 over the Sacramento River, 
Solano County, CA. The approval specifies that the bridge need not open 
for vessel traffic from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 23 October 2000. This 
deviation is to allow California Department of Transportation to 
perform essential maintenance on the bridge.

DATES: Effective period of the deviation is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 23 
October 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge 
Section; Eleventh Coast Guard District, Bldg 50-6 Coast Guard Island, 
Alameda, CA 94501-5100, telephone (510) 437-3516.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Isleton Drawbridge, mile 18.7, over the 
Sacramento River, Solano County, CA, provides 18 feet vertical 
clearance above Mean Lower Low Water when closed. Vessels that can pass 
under the bridge without an opening may do so at all times. This 
deviation has been coordinated with commercial operators and various 
marinas on the waterway. No objections were received. The normal 
drawbridge regulation requires the bridge to open on signal from May 1 
through October 31 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and from November 1 through 
April 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At all other times, the draws shall open 
on signal if at least four hours notice is given.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed 
with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as 
soon as possible. This deviation from the normal operating regulations 
in 33 CFR 117.5 is authorized in accordance with the provisions of 33 
CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 29, 2000.
C.D. Wurster,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard 
District.
