International Joint Commission;
International Joint Commission To
Hold Public Hearings on Lake Osoyoos
The International Joint Commission
(IJC) is inviting the public to comment
on recommendations for the renewal of
its Lake Osoyoos order. The order
provides for the regulation of water
levels of Lake Osoyoos for the benefit of
agriculture, tourism, municipal
interests, and fisheries protection.
Water levels of Lake Osooyos have
been regulated by the IJC since 1946,
when it approved alterations to an
existing dam downstream from the lake.
Under orders of the IJC, a new structure
was constructed in 1987 to replace the
dam. The orders set maximum and
minimum lake elevations of 911.5 and
909 feet during normal years. During a
drought year, water may be stored to
lake elevations as high as 913.0 feet.
The current Orders of Approval for
Lake Osoyoos are set to expire on
February 22, 2013, unless renewed. The
IJC asked its International Osoyoos Lake
Board of Control (the Board) to present
a report of recommendations for
renewing the Osoyoos Lake Orders.
Drawing on the results of eight studies
commissioned by IJC, the Board
recommends that the scope of a
renewed Order remain limited to the
management of lake levels with only
minor modifications that are primarily
related to a revised lake-level rule curve
(i.e. prescribed lake water level
elevation limits over time per an IJC
Order). The Board also recommends that
the Commission should encourage the
continued cooperation between British
Columbia and the State of Washington
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

to balance flow needs across the
International Border and downstream of
the dam, while respecting goals for
Osoyoos Lake elevations and limits on
releases that are possible from Okanagan
Lake.
The Board recommends a public
review of the proposed rule curve. The
proposed rule curve would provide
additional seasonal flexibility in
achieving targeted lake levels, and
would accommodate multiple uses and
users of the lake. The proposed rule
curve would also eliminate drought/
non-drought declarations and would
limit the maximum lake levels to 912.5
ft in the summer. More detailed
discussion of the proposed rule curve
and the Board’s recommendations on
renewal of the Order are contained in
the Board’s Report entitled
Recommendations for Renewal of the
International Joint Commission’s
Osoyoos Lake Order now posted on the
IJC Web site at www.ijc.org.
Commissioners invite the public to
comment on the report at the following
times and locations:
July 24, 2012—7 p.m.
Oroville High School Commons, 1008
Ironwood St., Oroville, WA.
July 25, 2012—7 p.m.

The IJC will receive comments until
August 31, 2012. The IJC will then
consider public comments and review
the report before making a decision on
renewing the order.
The IJC prevents and resolves
disputes between Canada and the
United States under the 1909 Boundary
Waters Treaty and pursues the common
good of both countries as an
independent and objective advisor to
the two governments.
