The group will explain its mission, offer the latest water-level information and take public questions and input Monday night at the Depot in Duluth, one of several public sessions this month across the Great Lakes region.
John Nevin, policy adviser with the International Joint Commission, said the commission wants to know whether changing the rules on how dams and gates are operated might help buffer against broad water-level changes over the long haul.
That might help waterfront landowners on Georgian Bay who have been left far from the water’s edge, or Great Lakes freighters that have been forced to reduce loads to account for shallower harbors and slips.
