Default Natural Rivers (or not) - Pine, Upper manistee

Yeah, but most Lower Michigan rivers are subject to industrial waste or
agricultural runoff.

And that's not natural.

A week ago two rivers in the northern lower peninusila of Michigan were
designated as Natural Rivers under the 1970 Michigan Natural Rivers
act. This action protects the scenic quality of the Pine and Upper
Manistee Rivers, preserving their natural character. So far, so good.

Now the legislature is trying to undo that designation and gut the
Natural Rivers act. Not so good.

Public hearings are tomorrow, 24 Sept 2003.
