DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Corps of Engineers, Department of the 

Army 

33 CFR Part 207 

RIN 0710–AA63 

Navigation Regulations 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

and request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Corps is proposing to 

amend the regulations for lockage 

operations at Bonneville Lock and Dam 

and amend the regulations which 

establish the restricted areas at Little 

Goose Lock and Dam. The Corps is 

making corrections and adjustments to 

the lockage control, signals, and 

permissible dimensions of vessels for 

Bonneville Lock and Dam. These 

changes correct language for the new 

replacement lock. For the Little Goose 

Lock and Dam the Corps is making 

adjustments in the upstream channel 

restricted area boundary to provide a 

recreational craft corridor along the 

north shoreline. This will provide better 

boat ramp access in support of the small 

craft portage route and reduce 

interference between fisherman and the 

boat ramp. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 8, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, ATTN: CECW–NWD, 441 G 

Street NW., Washington, DC 20314–

1000. Comments may also be faxed to 

(202) 761–5096 or e-mail to: 

Ken.C.Hall@usace.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Ken Hall, Program Manager, CECWNWD at (202) 761–4717, or Brian 

Schmidtke, (503) 808–4333 for 

Bonneville Lock and Dam or Ms. Ann 

Glassley at (509) 527–7115 for Little 

Goose Lock and Dam. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to its authorities in section 4, 7, and 28 

of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 

(40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter 

XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 

1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the 

Corps proposes to amend the 

regulations in 33 CFR part 207.718. The 

Corps is proposing to amend the 

regulations in 33 CFR part 207.718 (b), 

(d)(3), (e), (f)(1), (j) and (w)(7). Paragraph 

(b) changes the description of the limits 

of the approach channels at Bonneville 

Lock and Dam. Paragraph (d)(3) deletes 

the Bonneville Lock and Dam specific 

exception referring to vessels entering 

under an amber light. This provides 

consistent entering and exiting signals 

for the entire Columbia/Snake lock and 

dam system. Paragraph (e) had several 

changes. The new paragraph deletes the 

Bonneville specific exception on 

useable chamber size. The new 

paragraph adds text detailing the 

Bonneville Lock and Dam staff gauges, 

sill elevations, and how to compute 

depth over the sill, since Bonneville’s 

staff gauges are different from all other 

Columbia/Snake lock and dams that 

directly read depth over the sill. The 

new paragraph replaces a sentence 

referring to vessel draft so it refers to 

depth over the sill and not staff gauge 

readings. This change makes the 

sentence correct for all Columbia/Snake 

locks including Bonneville. The new 

paragraph corrects the minimum depth 

over the sill at Bonneville Lock and 

Dam at 19 feet. The new paragraph 

deletes three sentences concerning 

rearrangement of tows specifically at 

Bonneville Lock and Dam, and the new 

paragraph deletes one sentence 

concerning inundation of the 

downstream guide wall at Bonneville 

Lock and Dam. Paragraph (f)(1) corrects 

grammar by changing the last word from 

‘‘sections’’ to ‘‘section.’’ Paragraph (j) 

includes grammatical changes and 

corrects and details the location of the 

downstream mooring facility at 

Bonneville Lock and Dam. This new 

paragraph also deletes reference to 

vessels being allowed to lay-to against 

the upstream guide wall at Bonneville 

Lock and Dam. Paragraph (w)(7) revises 

the upstream restricted area of Little 

Goose Lock and Dam to allow less 

interference between fisherman and the 

boat ramp on the north river bank as 

more small craft portaging is expected 

coinciding with the Lewis and Cark 

bicentennial. The regulation governing 

61402 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 204 / Monday, October 24, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

the navigation locks and approach 

channels, Columbia and Snake Rivers, 

Washington and Oregon, 33 CFR 

207.718 was adopted on January 23, 

1978 (43 FR 3115). The last amendment 

to 33 CFR 207.718 January 26, 2000 (65 

FR 4125). This proposed rule is not a 

major rule for the purposes of Executive 

Order 12866. As required by the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Corps of 

Engineers certifies that this proposed 

rule would not have a significant impact 

on small business entities. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 207 

Navigation (water), Vessels, Water 

Transportation, Danger Zones. 

Dated: October 11, 2005. 

Gerald W. Barnes, 

Chief, Operations, Directorate of Civil Works. 

For the reasons stated above, the 

Corps proposes to amend 33 CFR part 

207 as follows: 

PART 207—NAVIGATION 

REGULATIONS 

1. The authority citation for part 207 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 40 Stat. 266 (33 U.S.C. 1). 

2. Amend § 207.718 by revising 

paragraphs (b), (d)(3), (e), (f)(1), (j) and 

(w)(7) to read as follows. 

§ 207.718 Navigation locks and approach 

channels, Columbia and Snake Rivers, 

Oreg. and Wash. 

* * * * * 

(b) Lockage control. The Lock Master 

shall be charged with immediate control 

and management of the lock, and of the 

area set aside as the lock area, including 

the lock approach channels. Upstream 

and downstream approach channels 

extend to the end of the wing or the 

guide wall, whichever is longer. At 

Bonneville lock the upstream approach 

channel extends to the mooring tie offs 

at Fort Rains and the downstream 

approach channel extends to the 

downstream tip of Robins Island. The 

Lock Master shall demand compliance 

with all laws, rules and regulations for 

the use of the lock and lock area and is 

authorized to issue necessary orders and 

directions, both to employees of the 

Government or to other persons within 

the limits of the lock or lock area, 

whether navigating the lock or not. Use 

of lock facilities is contingent upon 

compliance with regulations, Lock 

Master instructions and the safety of 

people and property. 

* * * * * 

(d) * * * 

(3) Entering and exit signals. Signal 

lights are located outside each lock gate. 

When the green (go) light is on, all 

vessels will enter in the sequence 

prescribed by the Lock Master. When 

the red (stop) light is on, the lock is not 

ready for entrance and vessels shall 

stand clear. In addition to the above 

visual signals, the Lock Master will 

signal that the lock is ready for entrance 

by sounding one long blast on the lock 

air horn. The Lock Master will signal 

that the lock is ready for exit by lighting 

the green exit light and sounding one 

short blast on the air horn. 

* * * * * 

(e) Permissible dimensions of vessels. 

Nominal overall dimensions of vessels 

allowed in the lock chamber are 84 feet 

wide and 650 feet long. Depth of water 

in the lock depends upon river levels 

which may vary from day to day. Staff 

gauges showing the minimum water 

level depth over gate sills are located 

inside the lock chamber near each lock 

gate and outside the lock chamber near 

the end of both upstream and 

downstream guide walls, except at 

Bonneville where the staff gauges show 

water levels in feet above MSL and are 

located on the southern guide walls at 

the upstream and downstream miter 

gates. Bonneville’s upstream sill 

elevation is 51 feet MSL and the 

downstream sill elevation is—12 feet 

MSL. Depth over sill at Bonneville is 

determined by subtracting the sill 

elevation from the gauge reading. 

Vessels shall not enter the navigation 

lock unless the vessel draft is at least 

one foot less than the water depth over 

the sill. Information concerning 

allowable draft for vessel passage 

through the locks may be obtained from 

the Lock Master. Minimum lock 

chamber water level depth is 15 feet 

except at Ice Harbor where it is 14 feet 

and at Bonneville where it is 19 feet. 

When the river flow at Lower Granite 

exceeds 330,000 cubic feet per second 

the normal minimum 15-foot depth may 

be decreased to as little as eight feet. 

* * * * * 

(f) * * * 

(1) When a recreational vessel lockage 

schedule is in effect, at the appointed 

time for lockage of recreation craft, 

recreation craft shall take precedence; 

however, commercial vessels may be 

locked through with recreation craft if 

safety and space permit. At other than 

the appointed time, the lockage of 

commercial and tow vessels shall take 

precedence and recreational craft may 

(only) lock through with commercial 

vessels only as provided in paragraph 

(h) of this section. 

* * * * * 

(j) Waiting for lockage. Vessels 

waiting for lockage shall wait in the 

clear outside of the lock approach 

channel, or contingent upon permission 

by the Lock Master, may at their own 

risk, lie inside the approach channel at 

a place specified by the Lock Master. At 

Bonneville, vessels may at their own 

risk, lay-to at the downstream moorage 

facility on the north shore downstream 

from the north guide wall provided a 

100-foot-wide open channel is 

maintained. 

* * * * * 

(w) * * * 

(7) At Little Goose Lock and Dam. The 

waters restricted to all vessels, except 

Government vessels, are described as all 

waters commencing at the upstream of 

the navigation lock guidewall and 

running in a direction of 60°37′ true for 

a distance of 676 yards; thence 345°26′ 

true for a distance of 494 yards; thence 

262°37′47′′ true to the dam embankment 

shoreline. The downstream limits 

commence 512 yards downstream and 

at right angles to the axis of the dam on 

the south shore; thence parallel to the 

axis of the dam to the north shore. Signs 

designate the restricted areas.
