Internation Joint Commission Study Board Releases Report on Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Water Level Regulations

By Chris Ulanowski

Oswego, NY – The regulations governing water levels on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River have remained the same since they were first enacted almost 50-years ago. The regulations could change soon under recommendations released this week by a study board commissioned by the International Joint Commission.
Tony Eberhardt is the U-S General Manager of the Study Board. WRVO's Chris Ulanowski spoke to him about the group's recommendations.
