The International Lake Superior Board of Control says it will maintain the current setting in September
The International Lake Superior Board of Control says it will maintain the current setting in September, which is equivalent to approximately five gates fully open.
"The St. Marys Rapids flow is approximately 773 m3/s," the board said in a news release. "At this flow, some low-lying areas of Whitefish Island including recreational trails may still be flooded. Users are encouraged to use extreme caution."The gate setting of the Compensating Works at the head of the St. Marys Rapids will be maintained at the current setting in September, which is equivalent to approximately five gates fully open.

The Board expects the total St. Marys River flow in September to be 2,820 m3/s which is the same as the flow prescribed by Regulation Plan 2012. Actual hour-to-hour and day-to-day flows may vary depending on hydrologic conditions, as well as variations in flow from the hydropower plants. The International Lake Superior Board of Control received approval from the International Joint Commission to temporarily deviate from Regulation Plan 2012 through November 2023. This deviation strategy is like the strategy employed in 2019. As necessary over the next few months, the Board will continue to adjust the gate settings at the Compensating Works to offset the flow limitations caused by repairs and maintenance at the hydropower plants.
