A recent assessment report indicates that all water quality and remediation goals have been met!
Partners working together to improve the Niagara River's water quality and ecosystem health are pleased to share that recent actions have improved the conditions at Queen's Royal Beach.
In a joint effort with the Town of Niagara on the Lake (NOTL) and other Niagara River Remedial Action Plan (RAP) partners, we are seeking your input on the recommendation to change the status of the RAP's indicator to show water quality in the Niagara River is improved.
This is a tremendous milestone on our journey to restore water quality and ecosystem health of the Niagara River, and remove it from the list of Great Lakes Areas of Concern. Your participation and feedback are greatly appreciated. Scroll down for tools to help you get involved!
