Potomac River health drops to B-minus, conservancy reports Published Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020, 1:53 pm Join AFP s 100,000+ followers on Facebook Purchase a subscription to AFP | Subscribe to AFP podcasts on iTunes News, press releases, letters to the editor: augustafreepress2@gmail.com By Whitney Pipkin (© Sean K – stock.adobe.com) After a decade of steady improvement, the Potomac River’s progress seems to be plateauing. That’s according to the latest letter grade a B-minus this year compared with a straight B two years ago issued to the river in a biennial report card measuring its overall health. The Potomac Conservancy, which released the 2020 Potomac River Report Card, said more polluted runoff from urban and suburban areas and fewer trees to slow and filter rainfall were among the factors causing the grade to slip. Based on data from 2018 and 2019, heavier-than-average rainfall likely played an outsized role in the outcome, too.
