Safety Zone Regulation: Hammerman Area of Gunpowder Falls State Park, Baltimore County, MD

Résumé

The Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Baltimore is considering a proposal to establish a safety zone for the purpose of the third annual Maryland ``Swim For Life'', at the request of the Maryland ``Swim For Life'' Committee of Baltimore, Maryland. The ``Swim For Life'' event will consist of a two and a one half mile swim to be held at the Hammerman area of Gunpowder Falls State Park, Gunpowder River, Maryland. The Swim will start at Hammerman area beach number five, to the Maxwell Point buoy, thence to Oliver Point buoy and thence to Hammerman area beach numbers one and two. The safety zone is necessary to control small craft and recreational vessel traffic, and to provide for the safety of life and property on U.S. navigable waters from the hazards associated with this swimming event. Entry into this zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port.
