International Joint Commission Invites 

Public Comment on Upper Great Lakes 

Report via Teleconference and 

Extends Public Comment Period 

The International Joint Commission 

(IJC) announced that it is holding a 

teleconference to invite public comment 

on the final report of its International 

Upper Great Lakes Study Board, Lake 

Superior Regulation: Addressing 

Uncertainty in Upper Great Lakes Water 

Levels. 

The teleconference will be held at 7 

p.m. (EDT) on September 19, 2012 and 

will provide an opportunity to be heard 

for those who were not able to attend 

one of the 13 public hearings that the 

IJC conducted in upper Great Lakes 

communities during July 2012. The 

deadline for comments has also been 

extended to September 30, 2012. 

The Study examines whether the 

regulation of outflows from Lake 

Superior through the compensating 

works and power dams on the St. Marys 

River at Sault Ste. Marie might be 

improved to take into consideration the 

evolving needs of users on Lakes 

Superior, Huron, Michigan and Erie. 

The Commission is considering 

proposed changes to its Orders of 

Approval for the outflows of Lake 

Superior at the St. Marys River that have 

been recommended by the Study. The 

Study report also examines the potential 

future impacts of climate change, a 

management strategy to better anticipate 

and respond to future extreme water 

levels, the feasibility and implications 

of restoring water levels in lakes 

Michigan-Huron and multi-lake 

regulation and its impacts throughout 

the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system. 

The study report and a presentation on 

the study findings, as well as the 

supporting documents and peer review 

are available online at the following 

Web site: http://www.iugls.org. 

Participants may join the 

teleconference on either of the following 

lines and are encouraged to dial in 10 

minutes before the 7 p.m. (EDT) start 

time:
