New York Power Authority returning docks and buoys to St. Lawrence River from Massena to Waddington

Posted

MASSENA –The New York Power Authority (NYPA) will begin the re-installing docks and buoys along the St. Lawrence River in the vicinity of its St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Hydroelectric Power Plant during the week of April 22.

It is expected to take about two weeks, but is dependent on the weather and river conditions.

The dock installation will begin in Massena at Hawkins Point and will be completed at Howard Park docks in the Town of Waddington.

The docks and buoys will be installed in the following locations:

• in the Town of Massena, Hawkins Point, Massena Intake docks, South Channel buoys, and the Massena Country Club docks

• in the Town and Village of Waddington, Whitaker Park docks, Old Milk Factory buoys, and Howard Park docks.

All the docks and buoys are scheduled to be removed again in the fall, depending on weather and river conditions. The fall removal is timed so they are taken out before heavy frost or ice form on the surface of the docks, creating unsafe conditions for workers and the boating public.

NYPA will notify the media and the general public in advance of that work.
