National Harbor, Md. -- Mariners are advised that an aerial fireworks display is scheduled to occur on the Potomac River on Friday, November 25 (rain date November 26), at approximately 7 p.m. As described in Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations Section 165.506, a temporary safety zone is established for all waters of the Potomac River, within an area bounded by a line drawn from the following points: latitude 38°47’18” N, longitude 077°01’01” W; thence to latitude 38°47’11” N, longitude 077°01’26” W; thence to latitude 38°47’25” N, longitude 077°01’33” W; thence to latitude 38°47’32” N, longitude 077°01’08” W; thence to the point of origin, located at National Harbor, Maryland (NAD 1983).
This zone will be enforced from 6 p.m. through 9 p.m. on November 25, and if necessary due to inclement weather, from 6 p.m. through 9 p.m. on November 26. The zone is necessary to control vessel traffic for safety of life and property on navigable waters during the event. The effect will be to restrict vessel traffic on a portion of the Potomac River. All vessels and persons are prohibited from entering this zone, except as authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Baltimore.
Persons or vessels requiring entry into or passage within the safety zone must first request authorization from the COTP Baltimore or his designated representative by telephone at 410-576-2693 or on marine band radio VHF-FM channel 16. All Coast Guard assets enforcing this safety zone can be contacted on marine band radio VHF-FM Channel 13 and 16. The U.S. Coast Guard may be assisted in the patrol and enforcement of the zone by Federal, State and local agencies. For any comments or questions contact Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, Waterways Management Division, at (410) 576-2674 or Ronald.L.Houck@uscg.mil. Chart 12289.
