IJC announces ice boom installation timeline for Lake Erie

spectrumlocalnews.com

The International Joint Commission (IJC) announced that the ice boom installation in the Niagara River and Lake Erie will occur when the lake temperature reaches about 39 degrees Fahrenheit. If this temperature is not reached, installation will start by December 16. This year, fall temperatures have been milder, keeping Lake Erie warmer than usual. The IJC will continue to monitor the situation as the installation date approaches. The ice boom, first used in 1964, aims to reduce ice flow into the Niagara River. It is managed by the New York Power Authority and Ontario Power Generation.
