Dumping Ground to Best River Town; 40 years of Progress on the James River
October marks the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, the nation’s landmark environmental legislation to protect water quality. Over the past four decades the James River has gone from being a “dumping ground” to supporting Outside Magazine’s 2012 “Best River Town Ever.” Arguably, it is the most improved river in the nation.

While the Clean Water Act and other state and local plans and policies provide the framework for improving the river, it ultimately comes down to individuals who make it happen.
