freshwater lake, river or stream will not require rising unless it has been ascertained that the
water is dirty, oily or otherwise contaminated Procedures for handling fresh water immersed
equipment are as follows:
(1)
Contaminated fresh water. If the external transport equipment has been Immersed in
contaminated fresh water, rinse, dry and, if applicable, repair the item(s).

Uncontaminated fresh water. If external transport equipment has been immersed in
uncontaminated fresh water, item(s) will be cleaned and dried as outlined in this paragraph.
