Lighting.

(a)Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, for operations between sunset and sunrise, a facility must have fixed lighting that adequately illuminates:#

(1)Each transfer connection point on the facility;#

(2)Each transfer connection point in use on any barge moored at the facility to or from which oil or hazardous material is being transferred;#

(3)Each transfer operations work area on the facility; and#

(4)Each transfer operation work area on any barge moored at the facility to or from which oil or hazardous material is being transferred.#

(b)Where the illumination is apparently inadequate, the COTP may require verification by instrument of the levels of illumination. On a horizontal plane 3 feet above the barge deck or walking surface, illumination must measure at least:#

(1)5.0 foot candles at transfer connection points; and#

(2)1.0 foot candle in transfer operations work areas.#

(c)For small or remote facilities, the COTP may authorize operations with an adequate level of illumination provided by the vessel or by portable means.#

(d)Lighting must be located or shielded so as not to mislead or otherwise interfere with navigation on the adjacent waterways.#
