# CAUTION TO BE USED IN RELIANCE UPON AIDS TO NAVIGATION

The aids to navigation depicted on charts comprise a system of fixed and
floating aids with varying degrees of reliability. Therefore, prudent
mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation,
particularly a floating aid. With respect to buoys, the buoy symbol is
used to indicate the approximate position of the buoy body and the
sinker which secures the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is
used because of practical limitations in positioning and maintaining
buoys and their sinkers in precise geographical locations. These
limitations include, but are not limited to, inherent imprecisions in
position fixing methods, prevailing atmospheric and sea conditions, the
slope of and the material making up the seabed, the fact that buoys are
moored to sinkers by varying lengths of chain, and the fact that buoy
body and/or sinker positions are not under continuous surveillance but
are normally checked only during periodic maintenance visits which often
occur more than a year apart. The position of the buoy body can be
expected to shift inside and outside the charting symbol due to the
forces of nature. The mariner is also cautioned that buoys are liable to
be carried away, shifted, capsized, sunk, etc. Lighted buoys may be
extinguished or sound signals may not function as the result of ice,
running ice or other natural causes, collisions, or other accidents. For
the foregoing reasons, a prudent mariner must not rely completely upon
the position or operation of floating aids to navigation, but will also
utilize bearings from fixed objects and aids to navigation on shore.
Further, a vessel attempting to pass close aboard always risks collision
with a yawing buoy or with the obstruction the buoy marks.

# BRIDGE-TO-BRIDGE RADIOTELEPHONE PROCEDURES

Federal Regulations regarding the Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act
are issued in Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 26 and
47 CFR, Articles 83.251 and 893.701. Briefly, these regulations provide
that all vessels: 1) 300 gross tons and over, 2) 100 gross tons and over
carrying passengers for hire, or 3) 26 feet in length or more engaged in
towing, must maintain a continuous watch on VHF-FM Channel 13 (156.650
MHz) for exchange of navigational safety information such as in passing
situations. Vessels required to have Channel 13 must guard this channel
full time while upon those waters governed by the navigation rules for
harbors, rivers and inland waters. The use of Bridge-to-Bridge
radiotelephone contributes significantly to navigation safety.
Communications on Channel 13 relating to matters other than safety of
navigation are prohibited and violators are subject to being cited and
possibly fined. Use it, but use it properly.

United States any aid to maritime navigation, without first obtaining
permission to do so from the Coast Guard, nor shall any person, public
body, or instrumentality change, move, discontinue or transfer ownership
of any private aid to navigation so authorized without first obtaining
permission to do so from the Coast Guard. Private aids to navigation

Corps of Engineers Approval: Before any private aid to navigation
consisting of a fixed structure, or buoy for any purpose, is placed in
the navigable waters of the United States, authorization to erect such a
structure or establish such a buoy shall also be obtained from the
District Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in whose district the
aid will be located. Cautionary Note: Prior to the placement of any
structures in the waterway to support an aid to navigation, local
authorities should be contacted to ensure their requirements are met.

Protection of Private Aids: Private aids to navigation lawfully
maintained are entitled to the same protection against interference or
obstruction as is afforded by law to Coast Guard aids to navigation. If
interference or obstruction occurs, a prompt report containing all the
evidence available should be made to the Fifth Coast Guard District, and
any person obstructing or interfering with an authorized private aid to
navigation shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject
to a fine not exceeding the sum of \$500 for each offense (33 CFR
70.0l).

## IV CHART CORRECTIONS

Corrective action affecting charts is contained in this section. Chart
corrections are listed numerically by chart number. The correction
listed pertains to that chart only. It is up to the mariner to decide
what charts are to be corrected. The following example explains the
individual elements of a typical correction.

The letter (M) immediately following the chart number indicates that the
correction should be applied to the metric side of the chart only.
(Temp) indicates that the chart correction action is temporary in
nature. Courses and bearings are given in degrees clockwise from 000
true. Bearings of light sectors are toward the light from seaward. The
nominal range of lights is expressed in nautical miles (M).

## DREDGING OPERATIONS

The following is a list of dredging operations being conducted in the
Fifth Coast Guard District. All operators should be aware that the
dredge and pontoon lines are held in place by cables which are attached
to anchors some distance from the dredge and pontoons. Buoys are
attached to the anchors so that they may be moved as the dredge
advances. Mariners are advised that dredges, tugs, barges, submerged and
or floating pipes, derricks, operating wires and buoys to mark positions
of anchors may be located in the vicinity of dredging operations and
that aids to navigation may be temporarily relocated to facilitate
dredging. The dredge and related equipment will be lighted and marked in
accordance with International or Inland Navigation Rules and the dredge
will monitor channels 13 and 16 VHF-FM unless otherwise noted. Mariners
are cautioned to strictly comply with Inland Navigation Rules when
approaching, passing and leaving the area of operations, to remain a
safe distance from the equipment, and to contact the dredge for specific
transiting information.

## NJ - CAPE MAY INLET - Beach Renourishment

The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock company will be performing beach
renourishment at the town of Cape May, New Jersey. The hydraulic cutter
dredge ILLINOIS and Jack-up Booster No. 1 to perform this project. The
project entails the dredging of sand form an offshore borrow area
approximately 5,000 feet from the town of Cape May and pumping the sand
ashore. Dredging, transporting and discharging ashore will all be done
by the ILLINOIS.

There will be two submerged pipelines in the Atlantic Ocean at two
different locations to pump the sand ashore. The submerged pipeline will
have a floating discharge hose attached to the seaward end. There will
also be five anchors placed offshore for the dredge to use to maintain
station wile dredging and discharging ashore. The anchors and submerged
pipeline will be marked with approved buoys and signal lights. The
floating hose assembly will be marked with proper signal lights. The
floating hose will be located approximately 5,000 feet offshore. Work
will completed approximately January 15, 1997. The dredge will work 24
hours a day, 7 days a week until completion. The dredge will monitor VHF
channels 13 and 16 at all times.

## NJ - PA - DELAWARE RIVER - FRANKFORD CHNL - Bridge Info

I.A. Construction has commenced replacement of the bridge deck and
maintenance walk area on the downstream side of the Tacony-Palmyra
Bridge across the Delaware River, mile 107.2, at Burlington County, NJ
using multiple crews in four locations. Work will be performed 20 hours
per day Monday through Saturday. Wood shielding and debris nets will be
placed and relocated under the work areas as the work progresses.
Mariners are advised to exercise caution when transiting the area and
watch for inadvertent temporary reductions in vertical clearance caused
by material caught in the netting or dislodged debris. No netting or
structural work will take place in the bascule span. Because vehicular
traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, Burlington County
Bridge Commission has requested marine traffic requiring openings of the
draw span to voluntarily, when possible, schedule transits outside of
peak morning and evening rush hours. Operation of the bascule span will
not be effected by the work which is expected to progress continuously
through the end of December 1997.

helicopters, sufficient to blow people and objects from exposed decks
and capsize small craft. The towed devices may be completely invisible
