Abstract
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is amending its regulations to establish a restricted area in the waters of the Potomac River extending offshore from the Marine Corps Air Facility (MCAF) at Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCB Quantico), located in Quantico, Virginia. The restricted area will address current security needs at MCB Quantico, including the protection of military assets at MCAF which includes the Presidential Helicopter Squadron (HMX-1). The restricted area will also protect public health by preventing vessels from disturbing a planned environmental remediation area that is located to the northeast of MCAF.
