The Charles River Watershed Association will host a virtual public meeting on Thursday, January 16 at 6 pm on making the Charles River Swimmable. The 1972 Clean Water Act promised “fishable, swimmable” rivers by 1983, yet we still cannot safely swim in the Charles River.
However, the US Environmental Protection Agency is trying to force polluters to curb their stormwater runoff – the largest source of pollution in the river – and your voice is needed to make it a reality. Will the EPA continue to pursue its strategies during the next four years without public involvement?
Join the webinar to learn about what’s prevented the Charles from being swimmable and how you can support the EPA proposal that will clean up the river. Register at https://www.crwa.org/events/reducing-phosphorus-pollution-in-the-charles-river
