Review of the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Order of Approval
The International Joint Commission is reviewing water levels and flows regulation for the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system. After considering public comment on a draft proposal released in March, 2008, Commissioners have concluded that regulation should be based on a revised set of goals and criteria aimed at more natural flows while respecting other interests. It has proposed a one-year process to resolve outstanding issues and obtain the concurrence of the federal governments.

The Upper Great Lakes Study Board is scheduled to release a draft report of its study of the St. Clair River on May 1, 2009.
