Article on the Anacostia

[Greg Feder]

Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine (and http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/paddling/forgotten-river-rescuing-anacostia-river-d-c/) has an article on efforts to revive the Anacostia this month.  Check it out. 

 

Cheers,

"Hamid Karimi, deputy director of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE), wants to change that. He spearheads the District’s part in the Anacostia Watershed Restoration Partnership (AWRP), an unprecedented, multi-jurisdictional, all-hands-on-deck effort to make the watershed fishable and swimmable again."

NPS controls access to the river.  Until they change the law, you will never be able to swim in the Anacostia again within the confines of DC, whether it's clean enough or not.

"There are 10 types of people in this world, those who know binary, and those who don't"

According to this, NPS is a part of the Anacostia Watershed Restoration Partnership, so hopefully they can coordinate rules changes as the quality improves.
