Lake Erie ice boom installation scheduled
By: Alessia Gervasi, WGRZ
When it is installed, the ice boom will be near the outlet of Lake Erie where crews plan to reduce the amount of ice entering the Niagara River. The boom helps to strengthen the formation of a naturally made ice arch.
The installation of the ice boom will also help to prevent ice jams that can damage shoreline properties and reduce the waterflow of the hydroelectric power production.
