§59i Patapsco River, Maryland

Summary

Declares that a specific part of the Northwest Branch of the Patapsco River in Baltimore is not a navigable river of the United States and gives Congress’s permission to fill all or part of that area. The area is the part lying west of a line that starts at the point where the south side of Pratt Street meets the west side of Pier 3. From there it runs along the west side of Pier 3 south 04 degrees 19 minutes 47 seconds east for 726.59 feet to Pier 3’s southwest corner; then it crosses the river south 23 degrees 01 minutes 15 seconds west for 855.36 feet to the pierhead and bulkhead line at the east side of Battery Avenue — that point ends the first line of the fourth parcel sold by J. and F. Realty to Allegheny Pepsi‑Cola Bottling Company by deed dated December 22, 1965, recorded Liber J. F. C. 2006 folio 345. The pierhead and bulkhead line location uses the Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District coordinate for station LIV (Lambert grid: east 2,111,161.40, north 527,709.27). From there the line follows the east side of Battery Avenue south 03 degrees 09 minutes 07 seconds east for 568 feet, more or less, to meet the north side of Key Highway.
