    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The I & M Rail Link Railroad requested a temporary deviation on December 20, 2001 from the drawbridge operation regulations to allow the bridge owner time for preventative maintenance. The drawbridge operation regulations require that the drawbridge open on signal.

    The Sabula Railroad Drawbridge provides a vertical clearance of 18.1 feet above normal pool in the closed-to-navigation position. Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial tows and recreational watercraft. This deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. There were no objections.

    This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation from 12:01 a.m., January 20, 2002 to 12:01 a.m., March 11, 2002 with openings provided upon receipt of twenty-four (24) hours advance notice.
