WASHINGTON--The U.S. Coast Guard has published a web page regarding its proposed Great Lakes “safety zones” for live fire training exercises, Congressman Jim Oberstar reports.
The web posting contains maps and other information on the proposal, which would designate 34 permanent zones where live ammunition could be used during training exercises.
The web page can be found at

Earlier this week the Coast Guard announced that it will hold a series of five public meetings during the month of October to allow citizens to comment on the plan. The first of these meetings will be held in Duluth on October 16.
Last week the Commandant of the Coast Guard called off live-fire training exercises on the lakes and assured Oberstar that they would not resume until after the public meetings have been held.
