Proposal for Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River Regulation

The comment period ended on Thursday, August 30, 2013. Thank you for your comments. Comments have been compiled and are available on this page.

The International Joint Commission (IJC) is developing a potential new approach for managing water levels and flows in the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system. The system's current water regulation plan has become outdated. It is unable to deal with future conditions and has hurt the region's ecosystem. The IJC's proposed approach attempts to balance the region's many interests, and ensure it has a water regulation system that can address current and future challenges.
