The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers appreciates your ongoing cooperation as we work to protect your safety and ours. Current federal policy requires masks to be worn on all federal property including Corps of Engineers recreation areas. There are a few exceptions when wearing a mask is not required. • Outdoors when physical distancing of six feet or greater can be maintained. • Actively engaging in watersports wherein the mask is almost certain to get wet. Masks can become heavy when wet and that makes breathing difficult. • When the mask is required to be lowered briefly for identification or security purposes. • When necessary to reasonably accommodate an individual with a medical disability. Do it for you and your community; mask up.
