PART 328--REGULATION OF SEAPLANE OPERATIONS AT CIVIL WORKS WATER RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ADMINISTERED BY THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 328.4  Policy.

    (a) The objective of Corps of Engineers resources management is to 
maximize public enjoyment and use of the lands, waters, forests, and 
associated recreational resources, consistent with their aesthetic and 
biological values. Such management includes efforts to preserve and 
enhance the environmental amenities that are the source of the 
recreational value associated with the project and to allow such other 
new and innovative uses of the projects that are not detrimental 
thereto.
    (b) Seaplane operations at water resource development projects 
administered by the Chief of Engineers may involve hazards including, 
but not limited to, conflicting recreational activities, floating 
debris, and underwater hazards, which may be accentuated by the normal 
fluctutations of water levels.
    (c) Seaplane operations may be prohibited or restricted at such 
water resource development projects, or portions thereof, for a variety 
of management reasons. Prohibiting or restricting seaplane operations in 
certain portions within a project in no way implies that safety hazards 
to seaplane operations or to other recreation users may not exist in 
other portions of such project.
    (d) The operation of a seaplane at Corps projects is at the risk of 
the plane's owner, operator, and passenger(s). The responsibility to 
ascertain whether seaplane operations are permitted, prohibited or 
restricted at such projects, and portions thereof, is incumbent upon the 
person(s) contemplating the use of, or using, such waters.
