In 1970, Congress authorized a three-part Great LakesSt. Lawrence Seaway Navigation Season Extension Pro-
gram. It authorized a winter navigation demonstration program, a detailed survey study of season extension
feasibility and a study of insurance rates for shippers. This report provides a review of numerous environmental
and engineering studies conducted as part of the demonstration and feasibility portions of the program, as well
as many environmental studies conducted after the completion of the original program. Topics include sedi-
ment transport, shoreline erosion, shore structure damage, oil and hazardous substance spills, biological effects,
ship-induced vibrations and ice control systems.
