Congratulations to the Black River AOC Advisory Committee current and past for getting to this step in the delisting process.

Lorain County Ohio Government - Last week the Black River AOC Advisory Committee took a major step by authorizing a letter to the Ohio Lake Erie Commission and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency supporting the "Delisting" of the Black River as an Area of Concern.

Last week the last of the Beneficial Use Impairments had been removed clearing the way for this step. Now the USEPA and partner agencies will be reviewing the documents to confirm if the Black River is ready for delisting. Over the coming weeks updates on the process will be added.
