ST. MARYS RIVER - MI - Little Rapids Channel - Ice Control Booms - Chart
14884

The ice control booms will be installed at the head of Little Rapids
Channel and will remain in place throughout the winter. Operations will
commence on the

easterly side of upper Course 2, Little Rapids Channel, on or about 18
November 1996. Little Rapids Cut temporary lighted Ice buoy R98B
(LLNR-14105),

showing characteristic quick flashing red (QR) will be installed in
approximate position 134 degrees, 4,800 feet from Bayfield Dike Light
(LLNR-14185)

(ISO.R), to mark the upstream limits of the east boom anchor system.
When Buoy R98B is positioned, the easterly 175 feet of the channel will
be closed to

navigation. During the first week of December 1996, the West Ice Control
Boom will be installed. The boom will project into the channel no more
than 40 feet

immediately upstream of light 99 (LLNR-14110) (FG). Submerged anchor
chains and cable will extend upstream from the floating portion of the
boom to the

ice stabilization island. At that time, the channel width available for
navigation will be restricted to about 385 feet until removal of the
booms in the spring of

1997\. The positions of the booms to be installed are showed on the
attached chartlet (enclosure 1). All vessel operators are cautioned that
anchor cables and

chains are located under water and extend upstream and shoreward of the
visible portions of the booms. Mariners are requested to exercise care
in

navigating the areas and to be especially alert to avoid fouling with
the submerged cables and chains. Small boat operators are cautioned to
stay clear of the

steel piles, ice stabilization islands, and partially submerged anchor
cables, and to be especially alert after dark to avoid the floating
portions of the ice booms.

### LAKE HURON / LAKE SUPERIOR - Tug Assist Policy

Mariners are advised that often times adverse local conditions, i.e.
high winds, current conditions, and inclement weather exist as vessels
approach, enter

and/or depart the Soo Locks. These conditions combined with close
quarters slow speed maneuvering, particularly with large vessels not
equipped with bow

or stern thrusters, may cause control difficulties for certain classes
of vessels. Therefore, any vessel requesting lockage which, in the
opinion of the Master

in consultation with the Pilot on board, where applicable, may
experience severe control problems due to the above conditions must
request assistance by

one or more tugs to ensure full control over the vessel at all times.
Vessel Masters and Pilots must consult with the Lockmaster concerning
local conditions

well in advance of arrival at the lock to allow tug assistance to be
arranged, if necessary. These guidelines apply to all vessels. This
Notice rescinds previous

NTNI L96-20, dated 19 April 1996. \[33/96\]
