NOAA WEATHER RADIO BROADCASTS
The NOAA Weather Radio stations listed below provide continuous weather 
broadcasts. The reception range is typically 37 to 74 km / 20 to 40 nautical 
miles from the antenna site, but can be as much as 186 km / 100 nautical 
miles for stations at high elevations.

Mt. Pise, CA		KHB-49		162.40 MHz WX2
Sacramento, CA		KEC-57		162.55 MHz wx1


BRIDGE AND OVERHEAD CABLE CLEARANCES
Clearances are charted as furnished by the Corps of Engineers and U.S. Coast Guard.  
Overhead cable clearances are referred to high water.  Bridge clearances are referred 
to High Water (HW) and Low Water (LW).


CAUTION
Small craft should stay clear of large commercial and government vessels even if 
small craft have the right-of-way.
All craft should avoid areas where the skin divers flag, a red square with a diagonal 
white stripe, is displayed.


CAUTION - SUBMARINE PIPELINES AND CABLES
      Additional uncharted submarine pipelines and submarine cables may exist within 
the area of this chart.  Not all submarine pipelines and submarine cables are required
 to be buried, and those that were originally buried may have become exposed.  
Mariners should use extreme caution when operating vessels in depths of water comparable 
to their draft in areas where pipelines and cables may exist, and when anchoring, dragging, 
or trawling.
     Covered wells may be marked by lighted or unlighted buoys.


AUTHORITIES
Hydrography and topography by the National Ocean Service, Coast Survey, with additional 
data from the Corps of Engineers, Geological Survey, and U.S. Coast Guard.
