Description
An Application by the State of Washington to give consideration to the effects on levels on Okanagan River and Osoyoos Lake of the construction of certain works (Zosel dam) and the formation of sand bars in river and ways to adjust the matter if levels were affected
Outcome
The IJC Order specified that Zosel Dam be altered and operated so that the pool elevations above the dam not exceed certain levels. By the 1980's, the deteriorating Zosel Dam was no longer able to meet the requirements of the IJC's Order and the State of Washington submitted an application to the IJC for approval to replace Zosel Dam. (See Docket 108).
