NOTES

NOTE A: 
Navigation regulations are published in Chapter 2, U.S. 
Coast Pilot 7.  Additions or revisions to Chapter 2 are pub-
lished in the Notice to Mariners.  Information concerning the 
regulations may be obtained at the Office of the Commander, 
11th Coast Guard District in Alameda, California or at the 
Office of the District Engineer, Corps of Engineers in
 Los Angeles, California. 
Refer to charted regulation section numbers. 


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


AIDS TO NAVIGATION: 
Consult U.S. Coast Guard Light List for 
supplemental information concerning aids to 
navigation.


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: 
Consult U.S. Coast Pilot 7 for important 
supplemental information.


WARNING - PRUDENT MARINER: 
The prudent mariner will not rely solely on 
any single aid to navigation, particularly on 
floating aids.  See U.S. Coast Guard Light List 
and U.S. Coast Pilot for details.


POLLUTION REPORTS: 
Report all spills of oil and hazardous sub-
stances to the National Response Center via 
1-800-424-8802 (toll free), or to the nearest U.S. 
Coast Guard facility if telephone communication 
is impossible (33 CFR 153).


RADAR REFLECTORS: 
Radar reflectors have been placed on many 
floating aids to navigation.  Individual radar 
reflector identification on these aids has 
been omitted from this chart.


CAUTION - TEMPORARY
Temporary changes or defects in aids to 
navigation are not indicated.  See 
Local Notice to Mariners.

CAUTION - LIMITATIONS
Limitations on the use of radio signals as 
aids to marine navigation can be found in the 
U.S. Coast Guard Light Lists and National 
Imagery and Mapping Agency Publication 117.
Radio direction-finder bearings to commercial 
broadcasting stations are subject to error and 
should be used with caution.


CAUTION: 
Mariners are cautioned that exploratory surveys 
and exploratory drilling operations may be in 
progress in, or in the vicinity of, the Southern 
California Traffic Separation Scheme.  These opera-
tions may pose hazards to navigation.  The most 
recent Eleventh Coast Guard District Local Notice 
to Mariners should be consulted for the schedule 
of current operations.


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 sub-
marine 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.


CABLE AND PIPELINE AREAS: 
The cable and pipeline areas falling within 
the areas of the larger scale charts are shown 
thereon and are not repeated.


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.

Los Angeles, CA 	KWO-37			162.550 MHz
Santa Ana, CA		WWG-21			162.450 MHz


MINERAL DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURES: 
Obstruction lights and sound (fog) signals 
are required for fixed mineral development 
structures, subject to ap-
proval by the District Commander, U.S. 
Coast Guard (33 CFR 67).
