Glad that the levels continue to decrease.
Wonder if the levels will be low enough by fall to not cause a lot of damage? Hope we can start repairs before winter.
This is ridiculous! Lowering outflows again? You should be keeping them high as we are coming into the fall wet season, what are you proposing then?
Lakeshore owners and businesses are still battling to survive and once again you lower outflows. I especially love how you write that you take everyone into consideration when making this decision. What a joke!
Aren't levels still above H14 criteria? And 2 feet above normal historic levels?

This infographic, developed by NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory @noaa.glerl, describes the different hydrologic factors that contributed to this year's high water on Lake Ontario.Water levels throughout the Great Lakes have been a major topic of conversation this summer, especially in Lake Ontario. Our researchers continue their work to understand the drivers of such extreme events. Check out the infographic we've created to break down the science behind all that extra water.

Which begs the question regrading setting trigger levels above 248.
We all know that there is other reasons for these levals. If there were not other factors involved you would not have slowed down the output levals recently. The water is still absurdly high. Your all just a bunch of bullshitters
And so are you going to re-write Plan 2014 to accommodate all these factors? I have to wonder why you didn't take these factors into consideration in the first place when writing Plan 2014.
Where is the infographic detailing IJC mismanagement?
Repeal Plan 2014......Restore the rights of the property owners instead of Shipping and hydro power plant lobbyist's !
Once again, the International Joint Commission has demonstrated extreme disregard for New Yorkers by prioritizing shipping interests over the safety and security of people living along Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Water levels remain at historic highs and it is senseless to reduce outflows at this time. This decision must be immediately reversed to protect our residents, businesses and communities along the shoreline.
Thats gov cumo ,your mismanagement is Amazing
Its time for nys to take its half if the dam down
A lake kept too high coming into spring causes all of these factors to be problematic...be accountable
Wait until we see the ice damage this winter ...
Incompetence cannot be explained away with an infographic... nice try
The ice is going to twist and destroy every breakwall made of rebar and poles less than 6 inches around leaving homes and infostruture vulnerable
I see it basically like this. There was an international treaty that was ratified 200 years ago that has governed the Great Lakes. It's still in full force. This treaty is inclusive of all interests in both countries. That includes the millions of people that don't have houses directly on the lake that rely on the lake. There were the exact same arguments in 1993 when the lake reached record levels under the old plan. There are a few realities here. The environmental degradation that has happened to the lake has to be remedied for the health of the lake. That means that the millions of people that rely on the lake will still have safe drinking water, long term storm protection economic viability, residential as well as environmental concerns. The environmental concerns were never factored into the equation under the old plan. There are consequences for living along water. You are all screaming that everyone else has to think about what you want. This has far reaching effects beyond shoreline residents and shoreline communities. Those responsibilities were agreed upon a century before the vast majority of the development along the lake took place. Whether you like it or not, all interests have to and are being taken into account. We are all expected to adjust for you but you all want to treating the lake like your own personal pond.
200 years ago?
The environmental stuff was a cover for shipping and hydro's interests. The generic term "health of the lake" is just a catch all for nonspecific nonsense. The environmental destruction of this year negates anything about wetlands, muskrats and long lost fish. Everything about the plan and this year's management is criminal
I did not publicly accuse any identified individual of practicing engineering without a license. I warned an unidentified individual representing the "river board" who has not previously disclosed their engineering credentials not to provide technical documentation to lay persons who may not be skilled enough to use that documentation properly. No libel involved. Simply looking out for the public good. We now know that Ms. Frain does appear to have a PE License in Ontario (believed to be license number 14814503, a matter of public record). She is not however qualified to specify shoreline protection which is civil engineering not water management. Rightfully, Ms. Frain has directed inquires from lay persons to more experienced persons. Thank you, Ms. Frain for observing that professional behavior during this trying time. I have already filed complaints against individuals that participated in the preparation of plan 2014 who have no public record of having engineering credentials. That is my right. If those folks did nothing wrong that will be determined in due course. I have not publicly identified anyone. I will be filing professional misconduct complaints against licensed PEs that participated in the implementation of Plan 2014 for the willful disregard of public safety. Those charges will be investigated and the adjudicating bodies will make a determination. It was well known that plan 2014 would cause additional damage and risk along the shoreline. It was well known that mitigation could reduce those damages. It was well known that NO PLANS for mitigation were/are in place. Proceeding with an engineering work without proper preparation to reduce known damages is not considered a "best practice". And blaming "the boss" is very sloppy st best,,,,, all the shoreline residents (lake and river) deserve much much better......
