The following minimum security measures are required for Level Three restricted areas: 

. A clearly defined protected perimeter. The perimeter may be a fence, the exterior walls of a building or structure, or the outside walls of a space within a building or structure. If the perimeter is a fence, it should be posted at no less than 100-foot intervals along the perimeter. Barrier and lighting requirements are set forth in chapters 6 and 7 of OPNAVINST 5530.14. If the perimeter is a wall, it should be posted at the point of ingress. 

. A personnel identification and control system, including an access list and entry and departure log. Only visitors need be logged in and out during normal duty hours. After normal duty hours, all personnel should be logged in and out. 

. Ingress and egress controlled by guards or appropriately trained and cleared personnel. When secured, access to the area should be controlled by an intrusion detection system or security personnel.

. Admission only to persons whose duties require access and who have been granted appropriate authorization. Persons who have not been cleared for access to the security interest contained within a Level Three restricted area may, with appropriate approval, be admitted to such area, but they should be controlled by a cleared activity or facility escort at all times and the security interest protected from compromise. . When secured, the area should be checked at least twice per 8-hour shift, or at least once per 8-hour shift if adequately equipped with an operational intrusion system. The security force should check for signs of attempted or successful unauthorized entry and for other activity that could degrade the security of the Level Three restricted area.

LEVEL TWO SECURITY MEASURES

The following minimum security measures are required for Level Two restricted areas:

. A clearly defined and protected perimeter. The perimeter may be a fence, the exterior walls of a building/ structure or the outside walls of a space within a building/structure. If the perimeter is a fence, it should be posted at no less than 100-foot intervals along the perimeter. If the perimeter is a wall, it should be posted at the point of ingress. 

. A personnel identification and control system.

During normal duty hours, use of an access list and entry and departure log is suggested but not required. After normal duty hours, all personnel should be logged in and out. (An electronic control system with the capability of recording ingress and egress may be used to accomplish this.) If a computer access control or logging system is used, it should be safeguarded against tampering. . Both ingress and egress should be controlled by guards, receptionists, or other appropriately trained and cleared personnel and secured during nonworking hours. l Admission should be granted only to persons whose duties require access and who have been granted appropriate authorization. Persons not cleared for access to the security interest contained within a Level Two restricted area may, with appropriate approval, be admitted, but they should be controlled by a cleared activity escort at all times, and the security interest protected from compromise. 

. When secured, the area should be checked at least twice per 8-hour shift or at least once per 8-hour shift if adequately equipped with an operational intrusion system. The security force should check for signs of attempted or successful unauthorized entry and for other activity that could degrade the security of the Level Two restricted area.

LEVEL ONE SECURITY MEASURES

The following minimum security measures are required for Level One restricted areas: . A clearly defined protected perimeter. The perimeter may be a fence, exterior walls, or outside walls of a space within a building or structure. If the perimeter is a fence, it should be posted at no less than 100-foot intervals along the perimeter. If the perimeter is a wall, it should be posted at the point of ingress. . A personnel identification and control system. . Ingress and egress controlled by guards, receptionists, or other appropriately trained and cleared personnel. l Controlled admission of individuals (military, civil service, contractors, official visitors) who require access for reasons of employment or official business, individuals who render a service (vendors, delivery people), dependents, retired military, and unofficial visitors (guests of residents, visiting softball team). Individuals without adequate identification, as determined by the local commanding officer, should be logged in and out.

GENERAL SECURITY MEASURES

Certain facilities and assets identified as critical and essential to the overall mission of the Navy and Marine Corps and national security have been identified in appendix IX of OPNAVINST 5530.14. Restricted area designations have been assigned in addition to specific physical security requirements to provide optimum protection.

All instructions designating restricted areas should include procedures for conducting inspections of persons and vehicles entering and leaving such areas. The purpose is to detect and prevent the introduction of prohibited items (firearms, explosives, and drugs) and to detect and prevent the unauthorized removal of government property and material. To be effective, administrative vehicle and personnel inspection operations should be conducted daily on a random basis. As a minimum, the activity's security officer should make sure they are conducted at least weekly.

Procedures should be coordinated with the cognizant Staff Judge Advocate or Naval Legal Service Office and approved by the activity commanding officer or designated representative.

LIMITED WATERWAY AREAS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: List and define four types of limited waterway areas. Determine the agency responsible for each area and list the authority, limitations, penalties, enforcement, and threat required.

Installation/activity commanding officers should ensure their waterfront and waterway areas are designated by proper authority. Commanding officers of installations/activities adjacent to waterways having, or seeking to establish, control mechanisms to limit persons, vehicles, vessels and objects within designated areas have several options. This section describes the different types of limited waterway areas available based on the level of threat. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) may, when safety, security, or other national interests dictate, control access to and movement within certain areas under their jurisdiction.

Table 10-1 describes the area, agency, authority, limitations, penalties, and enforcement of the four types of limited waterway areas. The Comments section of table 10-1 provides information regarding threat justification. For more information on limited waterway areas, see OPNAVINST 5530.14.

Commanding officers should make every effort to coordinate protection of adjacent waterway areas with the proper agency, and they should also review operations and security plans to make sure areas of responsibility are properly identified. Liaison between security personnel and local Coast Guard officials should be maintained to ensure designation of limited waterway areas and that procedural aspects are kept current.
