Why is the Nine Mile Run Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration so important?

0

Nine Mile Run is the largest free flowing stream in the East End of Pittsburgh and is a cultural and natural resource for the region. Unfortunately, during wet weather excessive stormwater and sewage overflows from the City of Pittsburgh and the boroughs of Edgewood, Swissvale, Wilkinsburg make the stream unfit for most wildlife and human recreation. The stream restoration is a critical piece of the improvements that are happening throughout the Nine Mile Run Watershed and contributes to the watershed’s becoming an example of the best in urban ecological restoration.
