Fish in river that famously caught fire now OK'd for dinner
By JULIE CARR SMYTH 2 hours ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Fish in an Ohio river that became synonymous with pollution when it caught fire in 1969 are now safe to eat, federal environmental regulators say.
The easing of fish consumption restrictions on the Cuyahoga River in northeast Ohio was lauded Monday by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine as an important step toward ultimately delisting the river altogether as an area of concern. Seven impairments remain to be addressed before that can happen.
“This is an example of the progress that can be achieved when you collaborate and dedicate resources to improving the quality of water in our state,” DeWine said in a statement. “We need to continue to invest in our water resources so that we can see additional improvements.”
The announcement came as DeWine is pushing a state budget that includes nearly $1 billion for water quality projects aimed at cleaning up toxic algae in Lake Erie and protecting other lakes and rivers in the state.

And who is running the EPA now, a fucking lackey from the coal industry.............that pollutes waters.................lets give him a fish and not tell him where it came from..............................and then after he eats it, tell him.......................
= new reply since forum marked as read
My husband fishes Lake Erie every year and he says he wouldn’t touch anything that came out of that river with a ten foot pole.
On second thought, since all the Republicans think this is so great, let’s feed them a steady diet of the Cuyahoga Special! Let’s start with Dump and the head of the EPA .... f*****g loons .... let’s tell Dump it’s a McDonalds fish sandwich ....
