BUI Removal Celebration & Champion of the River Award
2024-10-17 15:00 - 18:00 | Edgewater Beach House, 7600 Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, Cleveland, 44102, United States
The Cuyahoga River Area of Concern has recently announced its sixth Beneficial Use Impairment (BUI) removal, or specific problems that can prevent a body of water from reaching its full potential. The latest accomplishment was for the Beach Closures (Recreational Use) BUI, a testament to the substantial investments made by regional agencies to reduce bacteria levels, restore water quality, and improve beach conditions. In the Cuyahoga River, 10 out of the 14 BUIs from U.S. EPA’s list were identified along with their causes to develop strategic projects and actions to restore them. With every BUI that is removed, the Cuyahoga River is one step closer to being delisted as an Area of Concern.
Join us as we celebrate another milestone in the Cuyahoga River’s ecological recovery and to honor our 2024 Champion of the River, the City of Cuyahoga Falls. Before we commence with the festivities, volunteer to help clean up the beach and continue our efforts towards healthy waters (register here!).
A variety of hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be provided during the celebration to all attendees.

Public Meeting - Recreational Beach Use (BUI 10 Removal)
2024-07-17 17:30 - 19:00 | Collinwood Recreation Center, 16300 Lakeshore Blvd, Cleveland, OH, 44110, United States
Many areas of concern have been identified across the Great Lakes. In Northeast Ohio, the Cuyahoga River flows into Lake Erie’s central basin at the city of Cleveland. For more than 100 years, the lower Cuyahoga River accepted discharges from many treatment systems (municipal and industrial facilities), sewer overflows, and storm water runoff. The river had become so severely degraded with loose debris, oil, and municipal and industrial wastes that it ignited several times and was officially listed as an Area of Concern (AOC) in 1987.
Subsequently, the local Advisory Committee selected 10 out of the 14 Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) from U.S. EPA’s list — each one describes a human or ecological use of the ecosystem that has been lost or impaired as the result of environmental degradation — along with their causes to develop strategic projects and actions to restore them. With every BUI that is removed, the Cuyahoga River is one step closer to being delisted as an AOC.
On July 17th, come learn more about the removal of the Beach Closings (Recreational Use) Beneficial Use Impairment (BUI) from the Cuyahoga River Area of Concern (AOC). This public meeting will provide information and documentation of recreational contact advisories, E. coli concentrations and sources, bacterial reduction strategies, and measures the results of the assessments against applicable State of Ohio Area of Concern BUI restoration targets.
