The International Joint Commission (IJC) is seeking public comment on the recently released Draft 2025 Review of the International Joint Commission’s Report on the “Protection of the Waters of the Great Lakes”.
This is the second 10-year review on the consumptive use, diversion and removal of water from the Great Lakes.
This draft report provides a preliminary evaluation of the relevance and implementation status of recommendations issued by the IJC in a 2015 report. It also proposes new recommendations for the IJC to submit to governments.
A public webinar will be held on August 14 from 12pm-1pm (EST) to provide an overview of the preliminary findings of the draft report and obtain public comments. Comments can also be provided in writing to the IJC.
The comment period is open until August 31, 2025.
To access the report, register for the webinar, or submit comments, visit: www.ijc.org/pwgl.
