		Lawrence Seaway, a system of canals, locks, and dredged channels built to allow the passage of oceangoing vessels, the St. Lawrence River serves as a major water route to the interior of the United States and Canada, linking the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.

	The St. Lawrence River and PCBs
		The waters that drain from Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence River carry a myriad of wastes discharged from U.S. and Canadian industries and municipalities located within the Great Lakes drainage basin, including airborne contaminants transported and deposited into the basin from throughout the world.
		During the 1950s, segments of the St. Lawrence River were dredged and a vast network of locks and dams were created to provide international shipping access to the Great Lakes.
		Dredging of contaminated sediments from the St. Lawrence River and tributaries may therefore result in the release of large quantities of PCBs, exposing area residents to these compounds as they breathe the air.

		The St. Lawrence Seaway is one of the world's most comprehensive inland navigation system.
		The St. Lawrence Seaway generates around 40,000 jobs and 2 billion dollars of annual personal income, but its most significant contribution is related to the cargo it handles, supporting a vast array of industries (see the Port System section).
		The St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes are thus mainly used to ship heavy raw materials and limited general cargo traffic occurs past Montreal (a major container port).

	St. Lawrence River and Seaway
		The St. Lawrence River and Seaway is of vital geographic and economic importance to the Great Lakes system, connecting the lakes to the Atlantic Ocean and providing navigation to deep-draft ocean vessels.
		Approximately 800 miles (1,287 km) long, the St. Lawrence River can be divided into three broad sections: the freshwater river, which extends from Lake Ontario to just outside the city of Quebec; the St. Lawrence estuary, which extends from Quebec to Anticosti Island; and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which leads into the Atlantic Ocean.
		To allow vessels to pass through the river and in and out of the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, a massive American-Canadian navigational project, was begun in 1954 and completed in 1959.
