Special Local Regulations for Marine Events; Norfolk Harbor, Elizabeth River, Norfolk and Portsmouth, VA

摘要

The Coast Guard is implementing the special local regulations at 33 CFR 100.501 during the "Chesapeake Bay Workboat Races" to be held September 19, 2004, on the waters of the Elizabeth River between Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia. These special local regulations are necessary to control vessel traffic due to the confined nature of the waterway and expected vessel congestion during the marine event. The effect will be to restrict general navigation in the regulated area for the safety of participants, spectators and other vessels transiting the event area.
