The New York State Power Authority is asking recreational boaters and others with questions regarding the lower water levels on Lake St. Lawrence to direct them to the International Joint Commission (IJC).
The IJC determines the water levels and flows in the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system, as provided for under a 1958 agreed-upon regulation plan between the U.S. and Canada for managing the waters along the border.
This includes Lake St. Lawrence, which is part of the Robert Moses-Robert H. Saunders Power Dam on the St. Lawrence River.
The Power Authority says that lower water levels are not unusual for this time of year.
Questions concerning the water levels should be directed to the U.S. secretary of the IJC’s International St. Lawrence River Board of Control (ISLRBC), John Kangas, at (312) 353-4333 or john.w.kangas@usace.army.mil.
An alternate contact is Gail R. Faveri, Canadian ISLRBC secretary, at (905) 336-6007 or gail.faveri@ec.gc.ca.
