From the NY Department of transportation:
I offer the following response:
All of the debris that landed in the water as a result of the implosion of the Lake Champlain bridge will be removed from the lake. This will occur between now and the Springtime. There is a safety zone that has been established by the Coast Guard that must be adhered to by all. That safety zone is described below.
To allow the channel to be cleared of debris, the U.S. Coast Guard has established a water safety zone of 1,000 feet on either side of the bridge throughout the winter ice season and until April 15, 2010. No vessels, snowmobiles, fishing shanties, vehicles or persons are permitted within this area without approval from the Captain of the Port, Coast Guard Sector Northern New England.
The new temporary ferry will be operating within this safety zone with special permission. It is expected this safety zone will be modified as of April 15, 2010 in order to allow all boat traffic to pass through the bridge site within a defined and marked channel. The location of this defined channel may vary and will continue to be marked through the duration of construction of the new bridge. A channel through the construction area will remain open for the duration of construction except for occasional brief closures for specific tasks.
I hope this answers your question and thank you for contacting the Department of Transportation.

FLW OUTDOORS AND THE BASS FEDERATION EXTEND PARTNERSHIP
MINNEAPOLIS (Oct. 28, 2009) – FLW Outdoors and The Bass Federation announced Wednesday a renewed long-term partnership that will continue to provide a vibrant future for TBF chapters and members worldwide. Terms of the multi-year agreement were not released.
“The FLW Outdoors and TBF partnership is a perfect fit,” said Robert Cartlidge, President and CEO of The Bass Federation. “TBF has never had a partner that lined up so well with our core values or rolled up their sleeves and joined us in supporting the fishing industry like FLW Outdoors. For both organizations this is not just about the bottom line. It is about fishing. As TBF and FLW Outdoors have worked closely over the last few years, we have learned from each other and benefited each other. This extended partnership will better serve both TBF and FLW Outdoors well into the future and presents TBF with more opportunities than ever before.”
Under the new agreement, the TBF National Championship presented by the National Guard will continue to be nationally televised and held in conjunction with a FLW Tour event, and the National Guard TBF Junior World Championship will continue to be held in conjunction with the Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of bass fishing. TBF members will also continue to receive priority entry into all FLW Outdoors tournaments.
Additionally, 14 TBF anglers (seven boaters and seven co-anglers) will advance to the BFL All-American presented by Chevy from the TBF National Championship. The TBF National Champion boater and co-angler will also advance to the Forrest Wood Cup, and the boater champion will continue to receive the life-changing “Living the Dream” opportunity to fish as an FLW Tour pro using a TBF-wrapped Ranger boat and Chevy tow vehicle without paying a single entry fee. Previous “Living the Dream” winners include Brian Travis of Conover, N.C., and Robert Harkness of Elizabeth, W.Va.
“We could not be more excited to extend our TBF partnership,” said Charlie Evans, President and CEO of FLW Outdoors. “The partnership has provided countless youth and conservation opportunities. As a founding member of the Berea Bass Busters in Berea, Ky., I share the passion and vision for tomorrow that embodies The Bass Federation.”
The Bass Federation Inc. is owned by those whom they serve and is dedicated to the sport of fishing. TBF affiliated state federations and their member clubs conduct more than 20,000 fishing, youth and conservation events at the local level each year and have provided a foundation for the bass fishing industry for more than 30 years. For more information on The Bass Federation, visit BassFederation.com or call (580) 765-9031.
FLW Outdoors, named after Forrest L. Wood, the legendary founder of Ranger Boats, is the largest fishing tournament organization in the world. FLW Outdoors has also taken fishing mainstream with FLW Fantasy Fishing, offering the largest awards possible in the history of fantasy sports.
