The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation (SLR) for the navigable waters of the Chickahominy River near Williamsburg, Virginia. This rule creates a restricted zone around a scheduled rowing event.
Why it matters: This is a routine safety measure. It prevents collisions between spectator boats, race vessels, and other traffic during a high-density sporting event. For most people, it is a minor administrative action that only matters if you plan to be on the water in that specific area at that specific time.
Who it affects
- Rowing teams and participants in the event
This action is issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Coast Guard, and published in the Federal Register; readers should check the original document for exact dates, times, and geographic coordinates of the restricted zone.
