Safety Zone; Lake Erie, in the Vicinity of Euclid, OH

概要

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on Lake Erie with a one quarter mile radius centered on 41-47.6' N, 081- 36.1' W. This safety zone is needed in the warmer summer months to prevent recreational and commercial divers from tampering with the exposed valves on the sunken tank barge Cleveco. Such tampering may lead to the release of oil in quantities that may be harmful to the environment, as the Cleveco contains approximately 165,000 gallons of oil. In addition, the Coast Guard is making preparations to remove the oil from the tank barge this summer. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port.
