# SPECIAL NOTICES

# OIL WELL STRUCTURES IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

Caution should be exercised when navigating in the Gulf of Mexico, in
order to avoid collision with oil well structures and their associated
mooring piles, anchor and mooring buoys, etc. In general, oil well
structures can be identified at night by the display of one or more
quick flashing white or red lights. However, ships can expect to
encounter unlighted structures as well. Structures may be equipped with
a fog signal consisting of a horn sounding one 2-second blast every 20
seconds. Submerged wells may be marked by lighted or unlighted buoys.

Shipping safety fairways have been established through the concentration
of oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Mariners are encouraged to use these
fairways and should avoid anchoring within a safety fairway. Certain
areas adjacent to shipping safety fairways have been charted as fairway
anchorages.

# DRAWBRIDGE OPERATIONS - PROPER SIGNALING

The Coast Guard continues to receive complaints from bridge owners
concerning vessel operators that fail to give proper signals for a
drawbridge opening. Vessel owners/operators are responsible for ensuring
that persons who operate vessels are familiar with the regulations
requiring that proper signals be given when approaching a drawbridge.
The signal for requesting the opening of a drawbridge is one long blast
of four to six seconds followed by one short blast of one second
duration. When the draw can be opened promptly, the acknowledging signal
by the bridgetender is one long blast followed by one short blast. When
the draw cannot be opened, the signal given by the bridgetender is five
short blasts. When the request for a draw opening and the answering
acknowledgment is given by radiotelephone, sound signals need not be
given, provided that the contact is maintained until the vessel clears
the draw. Otherwise, sound signals MUST be used.

# REPORTING HAZARDS TO NAVIGATION OR OTHER UNSAFE CONDITIONS

Mariners occasionally discover shoals, sunken derelict vessels,
miscellaneous debris or damaged bridge fenders which could endanger
other navigators. Upon discovery of such potential hazards to
navigation, mariners should immediately report them to the nearest Coast
Guard unit, Defense Mapping Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
providing as much of the following information as possible:

-   Description of the obstruction

-   Location in latitude and longitude (Reference chart used)

-   Depth of water over obstruction if submerged

-   Reporting vessel and observer

-   Time and date observation made

# INLAND HAZARDS TO NAVIGATION

In addition to numerous bayous and natural canals, thousands of man-made
canals have been dredged in the wetlands of the Eighth Coast Guard

District. While the original purpose of these canals was for private
access to pipelines, well locations, or for other mineral related
activities, some are

being used by boaters. These canals and bayous contain numerous
obstructions including barriers, pipes, piles, construction debris, etc.
Some of these

structures are permanently maintained and have been suitably marked or
lighted by their owners. Many others appear and disappear without notice
and

are uncharted, unlighted, and unmarked. Even on marked structures,
because of vandalism, etc. mariners cannot rely on the markings always
being

maintained in good condition. Therefore, all persons using canals and
bayous must anticipated the hazards posed by these obstructions and
navigate

with extreme caution, especially at night and during periods of reduced
visibility.

## MS - BACK BAY OF BILOXI - Bridge Maintenance - Temporary Change

The operating machinery of the Popps Ferry bascule span drawbridge
across the Back Bay of Biloxi, Mile 8.0 is being converted from motor
driven gear

mechanism to hydraulic. The mechanism is presently being replaced on the
north leaf, a process which is expected to take approximately 90 days.

During this period, the north leaf will remain in the closed to
navigation position. The south leaf will open on signal during daylight
hours only. Work will

be accomplished from equipment which will be suspended beneath the draw
span and will reduce the vertical clearance from 25 feet to
approximately 23

feet above mean high water. The equipment will be marked with flashing
amber lights at night. Periodically, a small work barge will moor in the
channel

under the bridge to unload materials.

-   TX - TAYLOR BAYOU OUTFALL CANAL (JOINT OUTFALL CANAL) - Proposed New
    Bridge - Solicitation of Views

Interested parties are notified that the Commander, Eighth Coast Guard
District has received a request for the approval of the location and
plans for a new

temporary bridge across the Taylor Bayou Outfall Canal, a navigable
waterway of the United States. Chevron U.S.A. Products Company proposes
to

construct a floating, removal span bridge across the Taylor Bayou
Outfall Canal approximately 2.4 miles above the bayou's intersection
with the

Intracoastal waterway, mile 290.3, west of Harvey Lock. The bridge will
consist of two sheet pile abutments, two spudded barges and a movable
barge as

the center span, made mobile by an attendant tug. The bridge will
provide a horizontal clearance of 40 feet between spudded barges when
the center

barge is removed.

The purpose of the bridge is to provide truck and equipment access to a
construction site along the west bank of the canal. The bridge is
expected to

remain in place for about one year, after which it will be removed from
the waterway. The abutments will remain for future use. No federal funds
will be

used for the project. Construction is in a floodplain with a 100-year
flood elevation of 9.0 feet mean sea level. Texas Natural Resources
Conservation

Commission (TNRCC) will be required to furnish a consistency statement
that the project meets the requirements of the State Implementation Plan
on air

quality. (TNRCC) may conduct a public hearing to consider all comments
concerning water quality if requested. At the site of the proposed
bridge, no

wetlands will be filled. No park land, recreational areas, wildlife or
waterfowl refuges, historic or archaeological sites will be affected. No
prime farmland

will be taken and no significant effects on public utilities, fire
protection or other emergency services are anticipated.

Interested parties are requested to express their views in writing,
giving sufficient details to establish a clear understanding of reasons
for support or

opposition. Comments should be submitted in writing to Commander (ob),
Eighth Coast Guard District, 501 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana

70130 through March 31, 1997.
