I generally like the work that AR does but this top 10 list thing is silly. Last year the #1 most endangered river in the US was the Delaware yet it is no longer on the list. I assume all threats are taken care of there?

Not a real surprise to me. If anybody, spends any amount of time on the river or has since the late 80's into early 1990's can clearly see the changes.
Bass fishing peaked and then went really bad, really fell off the chart bad. The little fish are just not there anymore. You could go out at night in the summer with lights and see hundreds and thousands of fish in the lights into the water, we did this alot while trying to shoot carp with the bow and arrows. You would see rock bass, smallmouth, carp, sucker, fall fish, catfish, minnows by the thousands, - every island or weed patch had carp and small fry fish around -
Today you make the same float over the same water and it is almost void of fish. You still spot a few carp now and then, but gone are the rock bass, schools of minnows, fall fish. It is sad.
It is hard to say what is totally wrong, but something has been up with the river quality the past 5+ years that I hope will get figured out and solved so my family can enjoy the adventures on the river I had as a kid and young man.

MS drilling will be when 1,000,000 gallons of Frack fluid from up here in BradCo makes it down past Sunbury. It hasn't happened... yet. But seeing firsthand on some of the drilling practices up here... it will.
The Blowout in LeRoy Twp was what they couldn't cover up in the media. Too many people were around that Chessie couldn't disavow that it happened. We have had other blowouts from drilling areas located in SGL's or more remote areas that the newspaper and TV crews have not touched upon.
Here are locations of spills in BradCo and Sullivan Co's: Shunk, PA with a spills going into the headwaters of the Schrader Creek
Hollenback, PA where a spill ended up in Panther Lick Creek/Sugar Run
Silvara, PA where a spill ended up in Tuscarora Creek.
