 Chicago (UPI) Aug 29, 2008
State, local and federal officials gathered in Ohio this week to celebrate the cleanup of PCBs, uranium, radium and thorium from the Ashtabula River.

The Ashtabula River Partnership hosted a celebration Tuesday at the Ashtabula Yacht Club to recognize the removal of nearly 630,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the river, which flows into Lake Erie northeast of Cleveland. The dredging began in September 2006 and ended this June, the EPA said in a release.

The project, which coast $75 million, was one of the biggest river cleanups on the Great Lakes, the EPA said.
