MASSENA – Installation of docks and buoys along the St. Lawrence River in the vicinity of the New York Power Authority’s St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project will begin during the week of April 23.

The process is expected to take about two weeks, but is dependent on the weather and river conditions.

Installation will begin at NYPA’s Hawkins Point Visitors Center and will be completed at Howard Park docks in the Town of Waddington.

Docks and buoys will be installed in the following locations:

In the Town of Massena:

• Hawkins Point docks and buoys

• Massena Intake docks

• South Channel buoys

• Massena Country Club docks

In the Town and Village of Waddington:

• Whitaker Park docks

• Old Milk Factory buoys

• Howard Park docks

All the docks and buoys are scheduled to be removed in the fall, depending on weather and river conditions. The fall removal is timed so they are taken out before heavy frost or ice form on the surface of the docks, creating unsafe conditions for workers and the boating public.

NYPA will notify the media and the general public in advance of the work.
