The key to hook ever, as must think, about the brown stream to meet lake erie, and industrial waterway, its banks populated by steel mills and factories. Filled with ships. The cuyahoga river, as it reaches lake erie, after a 100mile twisting under turning journey from its head waters is an exhausted stream, abused and misused by man and his machines. Without the cuyahoga, the sprawling megalopolis of cleveland, akron, would not exist. The river was the reason for originally settling this portion of the western reserve in the 1780s. The river called crooked by the delaware indians provided a waterway to the interior of ohio and so man came and continued coming. Until today, nearly two Million People live and work in the river basin. In creating this urban complex, man has used the river as men have always used rivers. The flow has been put to work as a navigable stream, a water supply and as a sewer. Mans mark is everywhere. Is this mark an epitaph for the cuyahoga river, the Crooked River . Theres been some changes since 96 six but if management has not yet become an epitaph it is still a death knell. Today, without, question the cuyahoga is still dying. But there is a possibility of resurrection. Thats the kind of a river begins as two separate rivers arising from springs and marshes. It finds a quick path south to akron and then north to cleveland and lake erie, 100 miles of waterway. Miss epilogue, this essay on the yoga begins a few miles from the rivers source, near akron, ohio, for conservationist gather in spring for a trip down the river. Is as much a this year, several people followed phil rested on the trip. It was his complaints about the political yoga that helped draw attention to the plight. For the trip is fine as well and the whole family stick to the water. They come from miles around, and people like 70 year old miss Becky Simpson from lake would maybe 25 mile trip alone. The among the group is the district engineer of the Buffalo District. The Buffalo District is responsible for keeping navigable streams open in this part of the country, and recently we showed everyone what problems are still there and there is a lot of trash on the edges of the river, and there are previous too close to the rivers, edge septic tanks overflowing. We found a spot of oil up, there there was no early substance using out of the banks. We have it under investigation already. Hello hi maam rapids, the canoeists were stopped by a small waterfall. The Group Carried canoes around them, except for bressard who stopped them to prove a, 0. 1 that he couldnt flow his medal kayak over the falls. And to, that he could catch pass from the waters of the river. The success of past trips in focusing attention on a desperate situation of this an extreme is evidence here, where bob thomas and the citizens of maduro have cleaned up their part of the river, eve including the riverbed itself, and transform an overemphasize field, into a picnic area. The general consensus was good. The kyoto, from like raqqa back to its beginnings is in better condition than it has been a years. The 25 mile trip ended just below search results web results mattawa. Further south, of the kyoto forms lake rockwell, the second reservoir of the city of akron. And when the weather is good, you can find fishermen on the roadside where highway 14 crosses the lake. It is one of the few remaining spots where fish inhabits the yoga. From this point on, the river begins to show the ravages of men that will ultimately destroyed by the time it reaches lake erie. Much of the destruction comes from places like this. There had been a Waste Water Treatment Plant just southeast of lake rock. Well in so short, the plant is simply a lot not large after to the west in the area it serves and the situation is so bad the ohio state water prevention board has imposed a ban on new construction until a new plant can be built and put into operation. Plant superintendent michael a subpoena says simply that he just does not have the facilities to do what he is supposed to do. There are plans for a new plant, and the federal government may help, but it costs some 2 Million Dollars to build it, and taxes to pay for it. As a result, largely untreated sewage runs from the plant to addiction nearby and into a series of creeks which flow into the yoga. For a time, the river becomes a sewer. You can here, a new sewage Treatment Plant is under construction. It is a tertiary plant, means it releases highly treated water back to the environment. It is the best Sewage Treatment system, unlike many, and this plan will be adequate for future development of the area. But as it flows silently by the historic Standing Rock near cant, be the case yoga begins to smell and the river is covered with slime. The ancient tribal meeting grounds of ohios finished Indian Tribes has succumbed to modern man. Just below the spillway of lake rockwell, the kind of begins to show its age. The city of akron is expanding its main water in current intake here to handle the millions of gallons of water required by akron, but the water is so impure that at one time, tons of sludge taken from it were dumped directly into the river, largely through the efforts of bill brokered, two large basins were built to hold dislodge but even now they are almost, full and that what we have to be expend in the future. By legislative fact, the city owns the right to the water in the cities upstream for a water supply, but akron is not now considering a fourth plant near rockwell. With the new reservoir, the city could begin selling water. Even, now the city of akron uses so much water that in times of low flow, the stream almost stops running, and there are those who feel that the dam would kill the yoga. Now, the river runs somewhat cleaner, there is still not pure by any means. It is clean enough to support fish, and several taken from the spot below the cant, falls right in the heart of town. There is even talk here in kent of making the area into a park available to all and we are told the plans for it have been completed. It was a different story five years ago. On the outskirts of canned, where the river had to cut hugger false, is the new cant Waste Water Treatment Plant, which was under construction five years ago. It can provide secondary treatment of some 4 million gallons of waste each day and it is no mistake requirement for discharges into the yoga. In 19, 60 cant face the situation in which prevented finds itself today, but even the new plan at kent is finding it difficult to do his job properly, because of the kinds of waste it must treat, anything from slaughterhouse remains to Industrial Oil or flushed through the shores of ken, as it is in the innumerable other cities along the river. Across the river from the plant, the affluent from the medals industry leaks into the yoga and the orange cover rest put an indelible mark along the river. The coyote has just about any problem that any river in the United States has, the upper end down to this and, it has settlement in the bottom of it. It is full of debris and others, and has a tremendously heavy load of municipal and industrial waste. At monroe falls, as and other places around the liver, the river provides water for specialized use, here to provide a paper mill. Such uses of water continue until it finally reaches lake erie. Hello, can the river slowly meanders, in some spots appearing as an ideal extreme. In, others an industrial sewer, waste, mostly industrial trickling into the river. It appears to be in better condition than it was five years ago, but many of the polluters found then still actively contributing to the death of the cuyahoga. From kyle guffaws, the refer winds to the city of akron, and removes some 70 million gallons of water a day and returns it to the tiny stream at the plant several over several miles above the peninsula. During low flow, days discharge may make up 85 of the rivers water. Under normal conditions, as much as half. From here, the yoga attempts to act like a river, basin down rapids and waterfalls, descending several hundred feet in a little more than a mile and a half. By the time the kyoto revert reaches cleveland, it is already dead. There is little life of any kind. In, all 44 sewage Treatment Plants and at least 28 known industries discharge waste into the river during its hundred mile check practically. Cleveland, the southerly Treatment Plant adds another 75 million gallons of atlanta the river alone. Now it is the river that is known throughout the world, as the only one that burns. You, know we talked a lot about cleaning up lake erie, but the trick to cleaning up lake erie is, there not in the late so much but here in the tributaries. The tributaries in the staff being washed into our lake. Industries in the flats area with use for their water fine they have to clean it first, and then many dirty it more before dumping it back. There are proposals for cleaning up the river, and while the port area will never again it can be made not to smell. The cost of looking at maybe staggering. I guess it goes down to two things. Firstly, it is having to toilet train ourselves and stop putting our industrial waste. Second, now weve got to clean up the mess weve made for the past three decades while weve been doing this. As a Cleanup Program like this can work on a basis like this i hope, that it can work anywhere. We know we can do a big job, and yes, the problems we can tackle in a period of two months or a year or two. While we can report that added source, the coyote river has been reborn, we must also reported by the time it ends, it has been long dead. If there is an epilogue to the story of how the Crooked River dies, it is simply that man has multiplied too fast and his slowly habits have made it difficult to live. If he does not stop polluting eventually, life in the yoga, will find there is nothing clean left and his fate may indeed resembled out of the Crooked River. March 28th, 1970, nine the events just outside harrisburg, pennsylvania, the next 90 minutes here on cspans washington journal and cspan 3 is American History tv.
