Cooper River and Tributaries, Charleston, SC, Danger Zones and Restricted Areas

The Corps is amending the regulations which establish several danger zones and restricted areas in the waters of the Cooper River and its tributaries in the vicinity of Charleston, South Carolina by establishing a new danger zone for a small arms range at the Naval Weapons Station. The small arms firing range is to be used for training by the U.S. Border Patrol Training Academy. The Corps is also correcting a coordinate that defines the boundaries of an existing danger zone and making minor editorial amendments to the regulations to clarify that persons, as well as vessels, are not allowed within the danger zones and restricted areas. This clarification does not affect the size, location or further restrict the public's use of the areas. The danger zones and restricted areas continue to be essential to the safety and security of Government facilities, vessels and personnel and protect the public from the hazards associated with the operations at the Government facilities.
