There is a "Regulating Dam" on the Iroquois Section of the St. Lawrence Seaway which is there just for that purpose. This river control dam is built across the river from Rockway Point, located on the north shore of New York State, directly across from the town, to Point Iroquois. There is a lift lock at Point Iroquois to bypass the control dam.
The dam is there to reduce the range of Lake Ontario water levels, to provide dependable flow for hydropower, adequate navigation depths and protection for shoreline and other interests downstream in the Province of Quebec.
