IJC Announces Research Co-Chairs for Lake of the Woods

Two new co-chairs have been named to lead the International Lake of the Woods Basin Water Quality Plan of Study team.

The Canadian co-chair is Dr. Paul Pilon, who has served as a liaison with the Lake of the Woods Control Board and Watershed Task Force.

Mark Brigham has been named the American co-chair.

The study team was put together after a 2012 International Joint Commission recommendation to develop a Water Quality plan of Study.

They will provide the federal government with a final report this fall on Nutrient Enrichment and algae blooms, invasive species, and ground water contamination.
