Safety Zones; Potomac River, Woodbridge VA to District of Columbia

摘要

The Coast Guard is establishing temporary safety zones of 100 yards around any vessel employed in the loading, transit, or set up of the Salute to America Fireworks Show. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with an overwater fireworks display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Maryland National Capital Region, or their designated representative. On the Anacostia River a second show will occur concurrently establishing a safety zone for all waters of the Anacostia River between the Frederick Douglas Bridge and the 11th Street Bridge. Vessels and people will not be allowed to enter the zone during this time, unless authorized by the COTP.
