CAUTION
Only marine radiobeacons have been calibrated for surface use.  Limitations on the use of 
certain other 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.

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


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.


POLLUTION REPORTS
Report all spills of oil and hazardous substances 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).


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


CAUTION
Temporary changes or defects in aids to navigation are not indicated on this chart.  
See Notice to Mariners.


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

Mt Pise, CA 	        KHB-49  	162.40 MHz
Mt Umunhum, CA		KEC-49		162.55 MHz
Mt Umunhum, CA		WWF-64		162.45 MHz


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.
