The removal process of the Lake Erie-Niagara River Ice Boom will begin on April 6, according to the International Niagara Board of Control.<\/p>\n
While typically removed beginning April 1, this year’s removal process was delayed due to inclement weather in the forecast, as well as ice in the Niagara River.<\/p>\n
“A significant amount of ice remains in the lower Niagara River, and inclement weather is forecast in the coming days, including rain and high winds that could create unsafe work conditions. As a result, and in accordance with provisions in the International Joint Commission Order of Approval governing operation of the ice boom, removal will begin Monday, April 6,” a press release read.<\/p>\n
The ice boom is owned and operated by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Ontario Power Generation.<\/p>\n
The latest ice boom opening was May 3, 1971. The earliest start date was Feb. 28, 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The removal process of the Lake Erie-Niagara River Ice Boom will begin on April 6, according to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[1612,21392,1611,1610,136,138,137,139],"class_list":{"0":"post-154460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-erie","8":"tag-app-in-the-community","9":"tag-brian-campbell","10":"tag-buffalo","11":"tag-community-news","12":"tag-erie","13":"tag-erie-headlines","14":"tag-erie-news","15":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
