The Ohio River Basin Alliance and the National Wildlife Federation are taking public comment on a draft plan to restore and protect the waters of the Ohio River Basin, a vast region that encompasses 14 states and two federally recognized Tribal Nations.

Join the call to learn about the plan and ways to have your voice heard to protect local drinking water, public health, jobs, and quality of life.

A draft plan to restore and protect the waters that 30 million people depend on for their drinking water, public health, and quality of life in the Ohio River Basin was released Thursday, June 5 by the Ohio River Basin Alliance, National Wildlife Federation, and University of Louisville’s Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute.

The plan aims to tackle serious problems such as toxic pollution, sewage contamination, habitat loss, mine waste, and flooding.

The Ohio River Basin covers a region of 204,000 square miles, consisting of the ancestral and historical homelands of over 40 federally recognized Tribal Nations and portions of 14 states including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, as well as those of the Tribal Nations currently within the basin, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Seneca Nation of Indians.
