DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Coast Guard
Security Zone; Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Chesapeake
Bay, Calvert County, MD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary security zone on
the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, Calvert County, Maryland. This zone
is necessary to provide for the security of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear
Power Plant in response to potential terrorist acts. The security zone
will prohibit vessels from entering a well-defined area around Calvert
Cliffs nuclear power plant.
DATES: This rule is effective from 5 p.m. on January 9, 2002, to 5 p.m.
on June 15, 2002. Comments and related material must reach the Coast
Guard on or before April 29, 2002.
Background and Purpose
Based on the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center buildings in New York and the Pentagon in Virginia, there
is an increased risk that subversive activity could be launched by
vessels or persons in close proximity to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power
Plant. On October 3, 2001, Constellation Nuclear--Calvert Cliffs
Nuclear Power Plant requested this rule to reduce the potential threat
that may be posed by vessels that approach the power plant.
Entry into the security zone is prohibited, unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port, Baltimore, MD. Federal, state,
and local agencies may assist the Coast Guard in the enforcement of
this rule.
