"FISH IN RIVER THAT FAMOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE NOW OK'D FOR DINNER" says the
headline in my local fish-wrapper/bird-cage liner.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Fish in an Ohio river that became synonymous with
pollution when it caught fire in 1969 are now safe to eat, federal environmental regulators say.

The easing of fish consumption restrictions on the Cuyahoga River in
northeast Ohio was lauded Monday by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine as an important step toward ultimately delisting the river altogether as an
area of concern.

The Cuyahoga River was already one of the most polluted rivers in the
country at the time of the fire on June 22, 1969, according to the
Ohio History Connection. The fire was neither the first nor the worst
the river had experienced.

But the 1969 fire on the river, where industrial waste and sewage were regularly dumped, drew national media attention that made it an instant
poster child for water pollution at a time when the country was becoming
more environmentally aware.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, whose creation was inspired
by the Cuyahoga River fire, gave the thumbs-up to easing the fish
consumption restrictions.
