BALLAST WATER EXCHANGE

All ships bound for the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes (U. S.
and Canadian ports) are reminded that all ballast water originating
outside of the

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States must be exchanged
prior to entering the Great Lakes. This includes vessels that may enter
the EEZ with

only unpumpable quantities of ballast in the tanks and subsequently add
ballast during/after cargo operations in a U. S. or Canadian Maritime
port, or while

transiting the EEZ. Vessels must conduct a deep ocean exchange in water
200nm off shore and in depths of 2000m or more for ballast not
originating within

the EEZ. The regulations for the ballast water exchange program are
contained in 33 CFR 151 Sub-part C. Exceptions to these requirements can
be made

on a case by case basis WITH PRIOR APPROVAL, due to \"extraordinary
conditions\" such as vessel loading, weather, or other situations. Also,
vessels taking

on ballast in a U. S. or Canadian coastal port, or during a coastal
transit may be authorized to exchange ballast closer to shore WITH PRIOR
APPROVAL.

Requests for deviations from the regulations will be reviewed by Marine
Safety Office Buffalo and approved on a case by case basis. Further
guidance on the

ballast water regulations and use of alternative exchange sites may be
obtained by contacting Marine Safety Office Buffalo at (716) 843-9570 or
Marine

Safety Detachment Massena at (315)764-3284. \[20/96\].

GREAT LAKES - PERMANENT REGULATIONS

The event(s) listed below is/are or will be published as a Permanent
Special Local Regulation for Great Lakes Annual Marine Events in 33 CFR
Part 100.

Mariners desiring to transit the regulated area may do so only with
prior approval of the Coast Guard Patrol Commander for the event. The
Patrol

Commander may be contacted on VHF-FM channel 16 (156.8 MHZ) by the call
sign \"Coast Guard Patrol Commander\".

The following regulations apply to each annual marine event as published
in 33 CFR 100.901:

\(1\) The Coast Guard will patrol the regulated area under the direction
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may

be contacted on Channel 16 (156.8 MHZ) by the call sign \"Coast Guard
Patrol Commander.\" Vessels desiring to transit the regulated area may
do so

only with prior approval of the Patrol Commander and when so directed by
that officer. Vessels will be operated at a no wake speed to reduce the

wake to a minimum, and in a manner which will not endanger participants
in the event or any other craft. The rules contained in the above two

sentences shall not apply to participants in the event or vessels of the
patrol operating in the performance of their assigned dueties.

\(2\) The Patrol Commander may direct the anchoring, mooring, or
movement of any boat or vessel within the regulated area. A succession
of sharp,

short signals by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under
the direction of the U.S. Coast Guard Patrol Commander shall serve as a
signal

to stop. Vessels so signaled shall stop and shall comply with the orders
of the Patrol Commander. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from
the

area, citation for failure to comply, or both.

\(3\) The Patrol Commander may establish vessel size and speed
limitations and operating conditions.

\(4\) The Patrol Commander may restrict vessel operation within the
regulated area to vessels having particular operating characteristics.

\(5\) The Patrol Commander may terminate the marine event or the
operation of any vessel at any time it is deemed necessary for the
protection of life

and property.
