During these events, as described in Title 33 CFR Sec. 100.501, special local regulations establish a regulated area on all waters of the Chesapeake Bay, between and adjacent to the spans of the William P. Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge shore to shore 500 yards north of the north span of the bridge from the western shore at latitude 39°00'36" N, longitude 076°23'53" W and the eastern shore at latitude 38°59'14" N, longitude 076°20'00" W, and 500 yards south of the south span of the bridge from the western shore at latitude 39°00'16" N, longitude 076°24'30" W and the eastern shore at latitude 38°58'39" N, longitude 076°20'10" W. The regulated area will be enforced from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 10.
Except for persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, and event sponsor-designated participants and official patrol vessels, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area. The Coast Guard Captain of the Port Baltimore can be contacted at telephone number (410) 576-2525 or 2693. Official patrol vessels enforcing this area can be contacted on marine radio VHF-FM channel 16.
The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may forbid and control the movement of all vessels in the regulated area, and upon being hailed or signaled by an official patrol vessel, the operator of a vessel shall immediately comply with the instructions given. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or both.
Vessel operators may contact the Patrol Commander to request permission to pass through the regulated area. If permission is granted, vessels must pass directly through the regulated area at safe speed and without loitering. The U.S. Coast Guard may be assisted in the patrol and enforcement of the area by Federal, State, and local agencies.
