Description
A Reference to conduct studies to determine the possibilities for limited regulation of Lake Erie in order to reduce flood and erosion problems.
Outcome
The IJC determined that economic losses would outweigh benefits from limited regulation of Lake Erie and recommended that no further studies of limited regulation of Lake Erie be undertaken. Further, the IJC recommended that better coastal zone management practices and an information program be implemented to reduce flood and erosion damages.
