PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking comments on its proposal to amend the regulations for lockage operations at Bonneville Lock and Dam and to amend the regulations which establish the restricted areas at Little Goose Lock and Dam.
The Corps built a replacement lock for Bonneville Lock and Dam and now wants to upgrade the regulation language to reflect corrections and adjustments to the lockage control, signals and permissible dimensions of vessels.
The Corps is making adjustments at Little Goose Lock and Dam in the upstream channel restricted area boundary to provide a recreational craft corridor along the north shoreline. This will provide better boat ramp access in support of the small craft portage route and reduce interference between fisherman and the boat ramp.
Anyone interested in providing comments or recieving a detailed copy of the description of the proposed changes should contact: Brian Schimdtke, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, P.O. Box 2946, Portland, OR 97208-2946; (Phone: 503-808-4333) or Ann Glassley, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 201 North Third Avenue, Walla Walla, WA 99362; (Phone 509-527-7115).
Those interested in viewing the proposed changes online can do so in the Federal Register at:
