Restricted Area: Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is proposing to revise the existing regulations for a restricted area within Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (NWSSB). The Department of the Navy requested amendment of a restricted area located within NWSSB, in the City of Seal Beach, Orange County, California (33.7334 Latitude/- 118.0953 Longitude). NWSSB is the primary West Coast installation for the supply of munitions to U.S. Navy vessels. Following an extensive project to reconfigure Anaheim Bay, including the creation of a new ammunition pier and the relocation of a public boating channel, the Department of the Navy requested the Corps modify the existing restricted area regulations to protect the public from navigational and operational hazards, and to protect government assets, missions, and the base population in general.
