Columbia restoration act introduced in Congress
The federal government could provide as much as $40 million a year to monitor pollution in the Columbia River and clean it up, under a bill proposed Tuesday.
The Columbia River Restoration Act of 2010, introduced Tuesday in both chambers of Congress represents a substantial boost in federal support for addressing toxic pollution in the great river of the West.
"This is one of the great estuaries, not only of America but of the world," said U.S. Rep. Brian Baird, D-Vancouver.
