# §154.570. Lighting.

- (a) Except as provided in [paragraph (c)](#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.
