The St. Louis River is an important part of the Twin Ports ecosystem. Years ago the United States Environmental Protection Agency designated the river as an area of concern. It was part of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in 1987. The St. Louis River is actually the second largest AOC (Area Of Concern) in the United States.
There will be a special meeting titled St. Louis River Landscape Conservation Design Project System Analysis Update on March 1. It will inform participants about the collaborative effort to keep the river healthy and clean after it s no longer an EPA area of concern. It costs $30 to attend the summit.
