Book excerpt: Since the 1950s,the International Joint Commission (IJC) of Canada and the United States has issued water regulation and management plans for Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Changes in recreational, environmental, navigational and other uses of the water system have prompted the IJC to consider replacing the current water regulation plan in operation for more than 40 years. IJC's goals for a replacement plan include sound scientific foundations, public participation, transparency in plan development and evaluation, and inclusion of environmental considerations. To help develop and select the new plan, the IJC supported a 5-year, $20 million Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Study (LOSLR Study). The LOSLR Study uses models to compile and integrate data gathered from a series of commissioned studies of wetlands, species at risk, recreational boating, fisheries, coastal erosion and flooding, commercial navigation, hydropower, industrial, municipal and domestic water intakes, public information and education, and hydrologic modeling. This report reviews a portion of the study that focused on wetlands and species at risk and three of the models that were used. The report finds that the overall breadth of the LOSLR study is impressive, and commends the scale and inclusiveness of the studies and models. In terms of informing decision making, however, the reviewed studies and models show deficiencies when evaluated against ten evaluation criteria, including treatment of uncertainty, quality control/quality assurance, thorough documentation, and empirical foundations. Among the report's recommendations is a need for more thorough documentation of study methods and findings, stronger and more consistent quality control, and more attention to how uncertainty should be addressed to better inform decision making. This NRC study was conducted in collaboration with the Royal Society of Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluctuating flow and water levels in the St. Lawrence River, whether natural or human-induced, are of concern to the various stakeholders (government organizations, research scientists, industries and the general public) that have been involved for several years in managing water resources and their use, and in maintaining the physical chemical and biological integrity of the ecosystem. Such concerns are particularly justified in the current context of climate change, which is likely to significantly influence socio-economic and environmental policy decisions. In recent years, Environment Canada research scientists have been studying the problem of fluctuating flows and water levels in the fluvial portion of the St. Lawrence. Much of their research has been carried out in the context of the work of the International Joint Commission and, more specifically, the International Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Study Board, which has a mandate to evaluate the procedures and criteria used to regulate outflows from Lake Ontario and manage water levels in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. This document is the product of the work of several of the above-mentioned Environment Canada research scientists. It is a synthesis of the current state of knowledge and of certain recommendations relating to the possible impacts of fluctuating flows and water levels on various environmental and socio-economic factors.

Book excerpt: Where water control works or other measures appeared to be economically and environmentally practicable, the Commission was asked to determine the full costs and benefits, and indicate how the various interests on either side of the boundary would be affected. The Commission was also asked to determine the need for, and costs of, remedial or compensatory works or measures to offset costs to the interests that may be adversely affected by any proposed regulatory measure.
