AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The rule closes a 100-meter area of Humboldt Bay around a PG&E shoreside facility for one workday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 3, 2026. The Coast Guard says the zone is needed because maintenance work may expose hazardous material, creating risks for people, vessels, and the marine environment. Boaters, commercial operators, and anyone else on the water near the site may not enter the zone unless the Coast Guard Captain of the Port or a designated representative gives permission. Businesses operating in or near Humboldt Bay should plan around the temporary restriction and follow Coast Guard instructions that day.
