Inland Waterways Navigation Regulation: Sacramento River, CA
The Coast Guard is confirming the removal of the Decker Island restricted anchorage area in the Sacramento River.

The United States Army relinquished control of the Island in 1975. A direct final rule detailing the removal of the restricted anchorage regulation was published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2013. We received no comments in response, therefore, the rule will go into effect as scheduled.
