IUGLS is examining whether the regulation plan for Lake Superior
outflows at Sault Ste. Marie might be improved to take into
consideration changing interests and changing climate.  In its first
phase, the Study examined whether ongoing changes in the St. Clair River
might be affecting upper Great Lakes water levels.  The Study Board's 
findings and recommendations
<http://pub.iugls.org/en/Other_Publications/IUGLS_Summary_Report_EN.pdf>
in this regard were published in December, 2009, and the public has been
invited to comment on them before the IJC makes recommendations to
governments.
