The Morning Call article “Fish caught in area not safe for consumption,” published on January 31, reported on a draft report that is created every two years by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The report is required by the 1972 Clean Water Act and lists impaired waters requiring programs for remedial action and the overall conditions of Pennsylvania’s aquatic resources.
Very well done and written! Thank you. Our watersheds and streams, for the most part, are better now than they were decades ago, which is the real untold story. We need to keep working on the sins of the past and pushing hard for continued protection and restoration in the face of ongoing high development pressure in our region. If we do things RIGHT, we can "have our cake and eat it, too." Please discuss with your friends and tell your local, county, and state governments that you care and that you want resource protection to be paramount as part of regulations and development projects.
Excellent, balanced and informative. I wish more of the news we receive could take this approach.
