SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) has requested a temporary change to the operation of the
Isleton Drawbridge, mile 18.7, over Sacramento River, at Isleton, CA.
The drawbridge
[[Page 37197]]
navigation span provides 15 feet vertical clearance above Mean High
Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw opens on signal
from May 1 through October 31 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from November
1 through April 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At all other times the draw
shall open on signal if at least four hours notice is given to the
drawtender at the Rio Vista bridge across the Sacramento River, mile
12.8, as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway is
commercial and recreational.
During the deviation period, either leaf of the double bascule
drawspan will require 15 minutes to raise it to the fully open
position. The other leaf will be secured open. This temporary deviation
has been coordinated with the waterway users. No objections to the
proposed temporary deviation were raised.
Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies upon
15 minutes advance notice and there is no immediate alternate route for
vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the
waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange
their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary
deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: June 17, 2014.
D.H. Sulouff,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
