United States Department of State Washingtoti, D. C. 20520 Thc aright Honourable Herb Gray, P.C., Q.C. and the Honourable Dennis L. Schornack International Joint Commission 234 Lxitrier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario K1P 6K6 Dear Mews. Gray and Schomack: May L1, 2004 IJC / CMI OTTAWA I z+ FILE / DOSSIER 3- r-3 3-2-1- 1 I This is in response to your letter to Secretary Powell dated July 24,2003 regarding the concerns of Missisquoi Ray residents that the causeway of the Alburg-Swanton Bridge is obstructing natural water flows, thus mntribuling to the eurTophcation of Missisquoi Bay. As requestcd in your letter, the Department of State undertook a rcview of its archives, but was unable to find any cvidence of an agreement to authorize the existing bridge and causeway. It is likely, therefore, that a detmnibation was made that authorizations from the governments of Canada and the United States and thc International Joint Commission were not required under the Buuadury Wafers Treaty, for these governmental works wholly in the State of Vcrmont. As Vermont is currently proposing to modernize die bridge, involving the partial removal of the existing causeway, and pursuant to Article IX of the Boundary Waters Trcaty (I3WT), 1 would propose that the Commission revicw rcports (Environmental Assessment, Endangered and 'Threatened Sped es Taking Pennit, VANR Water Quality Assessment, Hydrodynamic Model by Applied Sciences Associates, etc) produced by the state of Vermont, in order to provide advice to governments as to whether this complies with the BWT as concerns causing pollut.ion to the injury of health or property in Canada. While fbrther discussion betvveeii the IJC and the governments may refine the issues to be examined, the review should include: 1) whether the original causcway affsctg water lcvcIs/flows in Canada; 2) whether the original causeway in the U.S. causes pollution to the injury of health or property in Canada; 3) whether the removal of the original causcway in the US. might cause pollution to the iqjury of health or
