California: Temporary Closure of

Senator Wash Reservoir to All Types

of Boating, Imperial County, California

AGENCY: Bureau of the Land

Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Temporary Closure of

Senator Wash Reservoir to all types of

boating: April 25, 1997, through April

27, 1997, and June 13, 1997, through

June 15, 1997.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that all

types of boating are temporarily

prohibited on the water surface of

Senator Wash Reservoir. The closure

area is within sections 31 and 32, T. 14

S., R. 24 E. and sections 5 and 6, T. 15

S., R. 24 E. San Bernardino Meridian,

California. The area affected by the

closure contains 353 acres more or less

at the high water mark of Senator Wash

Reservoir.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

temporary closure of Senator Wash

Reservoir to all non-event watercraft is

being implemented for health and safety

concerns during a water ski tournament

sponsored by International Novice

Tournaments (INT) to be held April 25

through April 27, 1997, and June 13

through June 15, 1997. The surface area

of the water is not expected to allow

dispersal of waves created by traditional

boating use during the water ski

tournament. Wave action during this

type of event greatly increases the

potential for serious accident or injury

to participants. This closure shall apply

to all persons and watercraft except

those permitted by a Bureau of Land

Management Officer and shall remain in

effect until 6:00 p.m. on the event

completion dates. Authority for this

action is contained in 43 CFR 8364.1.

Violation of this regulation is

punishable by a fine not to exceed

$100,000 and/or imprisonment not to

exceed 12 months. A map of the boating

access closure area is available at the

Yuma Field Office, 2555 Gila Ridge

Road, Yuma, Arizona 85365.
