Safety Zone; Los Angeles Harbor-San Pedro Bay, CA

Resumen

The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone in two locations on the waters of San Pedro Bay, California. The event requiring establishment of this safety zone is the dredging and landfill activities associated with the Port of Los Angeles Pier 400 project. Duration of this project is estimated to be 33 months. There will be two separate safety zone locations covered by this rulemaking. The first location, the site of the future Pier 400, is to the east of the Los Angeles main channel, adjacent to Reservation Point. It encompasses anchorages B1-B3, B6-B8, C1-C3, and C7-C9. The second location is to the southwest of the main channel which will transform anchorages Al-A5 into a permanent shallow water habitat as a mitigation measure for the Pier 400 landfill project. Entry into, transit through, or anchoring within the safety zones by vessels other than those engaged in the construction of Pier 400 or the development of the shallow water habitat is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port.
