Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway Navigation Season Extension. Volume 2. Appendixes A - B

Abstract

This is the Final Report for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway Navigation Season Extension feasibility study. The goal of this study is to consider the feasibility of means of extending the navigation season on the entire system from mid-December to early April (year-round). The report uses, as a base condition, the Chief of Engineers 16 November 1977 report which recommends the extension of the navigation season on the upper four Great Lakes to 31 January (+ or - 2 weeks). The purpose of this study is to determine whether Federal participation in Navigation Season Extension is desirable, and its extent, if any, to address the significant social, environmental, economic, engineering, and institutional aspects, and, to make a recommendation for Congressional consideration based on these findings. This volume covers appendix A and B--problem identification and formulation of detailed plans.
