Please use caution and stay away from barricaded areas down at the west end of the Riverfront in front of the boat docks. The ground near the riverbank is very saturated from all the rain and has begun sloughing away in some locations. These areas have been barricaded off but caution should be used all along the top of the bank.
The West Trail is still open and safe to use.
Save the date! BBQ this Sunday.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 was the first major law to address water pollution. However, it was the Cuyahoga River fire in 1969 that brought national attention to water pollution issues and jumpstarted the establishment of the EPA in 1970 and ultimately the inception of the Clean Water Act in 1972. https://www.epa.gov/history/milestones-epa-and-environmental-history #CleanWaterAct #SWPPP #washmo #waterwisewednesday
