AGENCY:
The International Joint Commission
(IJC) has released initial work plans
relating to the reduction of nutrient
loading and the causes of harmful algal
blooms (HABs) in the Lake ChamplainMissisquoi Bay and Lake
Memphremagog basins. The
Governments of Canada and the United
States requested that the IJC undertake
this work in a reference dated October
19, 2017.
The governments have asked the IJC
to examine current programs and
measures to address high nutrient levels
and algal blooms, and make
recommendations on how to strengthen
these efforts in both lakes. Algal blooms
can foul shorelines, degrade water
quality, and produce toxins that make
people, wildlife and pets sick. As a
result, recreational activities and local
economies can be impacted.

Though both lakes eventually empty
into the St. Lawrence River, they are in
separate watersheds. Because of this and
other differences between the two
systems, the IJC will carry out the work
as two distinct projects. The IJC will
present its findings and
recommendations to governments in fall
2019.
This work will complement existing
activities regarding flooding in the Lake
Champlain-Richelieu River basin, which
are being conducted under a separate
reference received from governments in
September 2016.
To learn more about the review of
nutrient loading and impacts in lakes
Champlain and Memphremagog, visit
ijc.org/en_/lclm. Information on the
International Lake Champlain-Richelieu
River Flooding Study can be found on
ijc.org/en_lcrr.
If you wish to receive updates
regarding the IJC’s work on nutrient
loadings and impacts in the Lake
Champlain-Missisquoi Bay and Lake
Memphremagog basins, including notice
of opportunities for public comment,
please send your contact information by

The International Joint Commission
was established under the Boundary
Waters Treaty of 1909 to help the
United States and Canada prevent and
resolve disputes over the use of the
waters the two countries share. Its
responsibilities include investigating
and reporting on issues of concern when
asked by the governments of the two
countries.
Versailles, 1682–1789,’’ imported from
abroad for temporary exhibition within
the United States, are of cultural
significance. The objects are imported

foreign owners or custodians. I also
determine that the exhibition or display
of the exhibit objects at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York,
