American rivers are the livelihood of our nation—but many of them remain at risk of pollution. Millions depend on them for fresh drinking water, as economic drivers, for recreational enjoyment, and food supply. Today, let us recommit to protecting these freshwater ecosystems for generations to come.

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

For the fourth time, the Boundary Waters has been included in American River’s list of our most endangered waterways. The BWCA is a national treasure and our most visited wilderness area. It's time to permanently protect it from foreign mining interests.
