Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Sacramento River, Sacramento, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the Tower Drawbridge across the 
Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The deviation is 
necessary to allow the community to participate in the Juvenile 
Diabetes Research Foundation One Walk. This deviation allows the bridge 
to remain in the closed-to-navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 9:30 a.m. through 11 a.m. on 
October 7, 2018.

temporary deviation, call or email Carl T. Hausner, Chief, Bridge 
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone 510-437-3516, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation 
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower 
Drawbridge, mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The 
drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet 
above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw 
operates as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway 
is commercial and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position 
from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on October 7, 2018, to allow the community to 
participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation One Walk. This 
temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. No 
objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised. Vessels 
able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at 
anytime. In the event of an emergency the draw span can open on signal 
if at least one hour notice is given to the bridge operator. There are 
no immediate alternate routes for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will 
also inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast 
Notices to Mariners of the change in the operating schedule for the 
bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to minimize 
any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 17, 2018.
Carl T. Hausner,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
