EPA declares L.A. River 'traditional navigable waters'

The designation is crucial to applying Clean Water Act protections to the concrete-lined waterway often regarded as little more than a flood-control channel.

"This is an important day, one we've been working toward for years," said poet and writer Lewis MacAdams, founder of Friends of the Los Angeles River. "It is a day when the EPA has essentially redefined the L.A. River and its values. In other words, starting today, a flood control channel is only one of its many characteristics."
