33 CFR Part 117
[CGD11-99-012]
Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Sacramento River, California
Department of Transportation Highway Bridge at Mile 90.1, at Knights
Landing, Between Sutter and Yolo Counties, CA
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation to
regulations governing opening of the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) Knights Landing bascule bridge over the
Sacramento River at Knights Landing, CA. The bridge need open for
vessels only on 24 hours advance notice from August 2 through September
14, 1999. Additionally, only the south leaf of the bridge will be in
service during this period. The bridge is normally operated on 12 hour
advance notice, but Caltrans needs additional notice to facilitate
replacement of the submarine power cable.
DATES: Effective period of the deviation is August 2, 1999, through
September 14, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jerry Olmes, Bridge Administrator,
Eleventh Coast Guard District, Building 50-6, Coast Guard Island,
Alameda, CA 94501-5100, telephone (510) 437-3515.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Caltrans notified the Eleventh Coast Guard
District of the need for the submarine cable replacement on June 25,
1999. These dates represent the only available work window, due to
potential impacts to sensitive species at other times. Although
alternate routes past the bridge are not available, there would be
little or no impact to vessel traffic since vessels can still transit
the bridge with advance notice. The horizontal clearance through the
bridge with one leaf operation is 100 feet, which is adequate for all
vessels normally using the waterway in the Knights Landing area. The
bridge provides 30 feet vertical clearance above Low Water and is
opened only a few times each year for large recreational vessels or
marine construction or dredging equipment.
This deviation from the normal operating regulations in 33 CFR
117.189(b) is authorized in accordance with the provisions of 33 CFR
117.35.
Dated: July 22, 1999.
T.H. Collins,
Vice Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard
District.
