as of April 15, 2002.
NOTES: Waterway mileages were determined by including the length of
channels 1) with a controlling draft of nine feet or greater, 2) with commercial
cargo traffic reported for 1998 and 1999, but 3) were not offshore (i.e., channels
in coastal areas included only the miles from the entrance channel inward). Channels
within major bays are included (e.g., Chesapeake Bay, San Francisco Bay, Puget
Sound, Long Island Sound, major sounds and straits in southeastern Alaska). Channels
in the Great Lakes are not included, but waterways connecting lakes and the St.
Lawrence Seaway inside the United States are included.
