    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On December 31, 2001 the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad requested the bridge be maintained in the closed-to-navigation position to allow the bridge owner time for preventative maintenance in the winter when there is less impact on navigation instead of scheduling maintenance in the summer when river traffic increases. The drawbridge operation regulations require the drawbridge to open on signal.

    The Crescent Railroad Drawbridge provides a vertical clearance of 25.7 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. No objections were received.

    This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation from 12:01 Start Printed Page 5063a.m. on January 21, 2002, until 12:01 a.m. on February 21, 2002. The drawbridge will open on signal if at least six (6) hours advance notice is given.
