BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - If the weather is right for it, personnel from the New York Power Authority will start opening the 22 spans of the Lake Erie-Niagara River Ice Boom on Tuesday.
Last year, crews began removing the boom on March 6. The latest date it has ever been removed is May 3. That was in 1971.
The ice boom has been placed in the water every year since 1964. It helps reduce the amount of ice to enter the Niagara River.

I was just on the website https://iceboom.nypa.gov/ and saw them taking out the boom. There is a crane on what looks to be a barge and another boat hauling the boom floats away. Yay! Does anyone know do they use a diver to go unfasten it from the bottom? Or how do they do it? Whats the procedure?

I'm not sure I think they use weights like they use on the departures bouys so they can pull they weights out at the end of the year
