What’s the Big Dam Deal?

| Advocacy, Area of Concern

At Milwaukee Riverkeeper, we pride ourselves on being the voice of the rivers.  And if Milwaukee’s rivers could talk, they would probably SCREAM, “let us flow free.”  As river protectors, we take our job seriously to ensure our shared resource will be swimmable, fishable and drinkable for our children and our children’s children.  We are at a pivotal moment in the history of water in Milwaukee.  Momentum and energy is building to prioritize the work to clean up historically contaminated parts of our rivers and Estuary through EPA’s Area of Concern program.  This could mean a serious federal investment to achieve cleaner rivers and healthier communities.
