Abstract
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters within a 150-yard radius of a fireworks barge located near City Point, in Hopewell, VA. The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of persons and vessels, and to protect the marine environment within the navigable waters proximate to fireworks displays, before, during, and after the scheduled events. Hazards with this event include potential falling debris and possible fire, explosion, projectile, and burn hazards. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Virginia.
