SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: San
Joaquin County Department of Public
Works has requested a temporary
change to the operation of the Bacon
Island Drawbridge, mile 8.6, over
Middle River, near Stockton, CA. The
drawbridge navigation span provides a
vertical clearance of approximately 8
feet above Mean High Water in the
closed-to-navigation position. In
accordance with 33 CFR 117.171(a), the
draw opens on signal from May 15
through September 15 from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. From September 16 through May
14, the draw opens on signal from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. from Thursday through
Monday. At all other times, the draw
shall open on signal if at least 12 hours
notice is given to the San Joaquin
County Department of Public Works at
Stockton. Navigation on the waterway is
commercial and recreational.
The drawspan will be secured in the
closed-to-navigation position from 12:01
a.m. on September 30, 2013 to 11:59
p.m. on October 31, 2013, due to
structural maintenance work in
replacing the approach deck slabs. The
work will require loss of power to the
bridge electrical systems.
This temporary deviation has been
coordinated with commercial operators
and various marinas. No objections to
the proposed temporary deviation were
raised. Vessels that can transit the
bridge, while in the closed-to-navigation
position, may continue to do so at any
time.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: May 24, 2013.
