Public input is essential to the Commission’s consideration of potential recommendations to the Governments of the United States and Canada. For more information on the upcoming virtual webinars, visit www.ijc.org/lcrr. The LCRRSB study findings and recommendations cover four key themes: • Reduction in water levels via structural mitigation measures • Effects on impeding flows during floods of existing and additional wetlands in the basin • Enhancements to flood forecasting and flood response in the basin PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52833 The LCRRSB was established by the IJC in 2016 to assist in responding to a reference by the governments of the United States and Canada under Article IX of the Boundary Waters Treaty. The reference was precipitated by major flooding in the Lake ChamplainRichelieu River basin in 2011. The basin forms in the United States between New York and Vermont, with much of Lake Champlain forming a border between the two states. The northern part of Lake Champlain crosses into Quebec, where it flows into the Richelieu River. The Richelieu River in turn joins with the St. Lawrence River near Montre´al and continues flowing east to the Atlantic Ocean. The governments requested the IJC to coordinate the full completion of Option B under the under the 2013 IJC Plan of Study. As part of this reference, the IJC was asked to evaluate the causes and impacts of the 2011 flooding, and to make recommendations to mitigate future flood risks in the basin. IJC recommendations to the two federal governments under Article IX of the Boundary Waters Treaty are not binding and not to be considered decisions of the two governments. The main study recommendations include: 1. That selective excavation of the riverbed near Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec combined with the construction of a submerged weir would reduce high water levels during floods and would have the added benefit of raising water levels on Lake Champlain during dry years. A moderate diversion of high flows through the Chambly Canal could also be considered for additional floodreduction benefits. 2. The preservation of existing wetland areas, which can minimize water levels during floods while also stabilizing water levels during droughts in the basin. 3. The governments are encouraged to operationalize the improved modeling and forecasting tools and coherent risk assessment systems and support/ maintain them after the Study. The agencies responsible for flood forecasting in the basin should continue collaboration and make available forecasting data so that forecasts on both sides of the border are of the highest possible quality and are accompanied by a concerted and consistent crossborder interpretation. 4. Improving floodplain mapping for the use of emergency managers and enhancing communication campaigns E:\FR\FM\29AUN1.SGM 29AUN1
