ATON/Proposed Notice of Change
Location:
Aid Name: Cooper River Range D Rear Light
LLNR: 3045
Action: RELOCATE
The U.S. Coast Guard is proposing the following changes to the Aids to Navigation System in the Cooper River:
Cooper River Range D Rear Light (LLNR 3045) will be permanently relocated to approximate position 32-56-27.083N / 079-55-21.194W.
Cooper River Range D/F Front Light (LLNR 3040) will have the flash characteristic changed from a Q W to a FL W 2.5s. The light will continue to be an all-around light.
Due to the current location of Cooper River Range D Rear Light (LLNR 30465) being inaccessible for a Coast Guard asset to effectively repair the structure, it was determined by relocating the rear range approximately 400 feet further from its current location will offer a much improved range quality and allow CG personnel to service at any tidal state.
All comments should be emailed to: d07-smb-dpwpubliccomments@uscg.mil or andrew.m.engle@uscg.mil with Cooper River Range D/F as the subject line. Comments can also be mailed to Commander (dpw), Seventh Coast Guard District, 909 SE 1st Ave (STE 406) Brickell Plaza Federal Building, Miami, FL. 33131-3050 to be received by November 1, 2025.

The following change is being proposed to the aids to navigation system on the Pinellas Point Channel.

Point Pinellas Channel LT 10 (LLNR 24735.2) will be permanently discontinued.
The two lights have experienced several allisions resulting in both lights being out of service for extended periods of time and being replaced by a small lighted temporary buoy. In addition, the depth of water in these locations exceeds the maximum water depth that a U.S. Coast Guard asset can safely rebuild the lights. Given these conditions the channel will be better served with one lighted buoy in this location.
