The U.S. Coast Guard announced Wednesday it has temporarily suspended plans to anchor oil barges in the Hudson River at 10 locations from Yonkers to Kingston, pending a Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment of the river.

Last year, the Coast Guard circulated an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment on a proposed rule on new anchorage grounds for commercial vessels on the Hudson River. Currently there is one seasonal site. More than 10,200 public comments were received during the period ending Dec. 6, 2016.
