Chattahoochee #3 on 'most endangered rivers' list

WASHINGTON -- American Rivers, a national environmental advocacy group, has ranked the Chattahoochee River as the third-most endangered river in the United States.

The group released its Top 10 list Tuesday. An annual list has been released by the organization each year since 1986.

The organization said it looked at issues from pollution to fracking to dams and dredging, but this year the spotlight is on issues that "have a direct impact on our clean water, public health, and wildlife."

The organization rated The Potomac River as the most endangered (flows through Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Washington , D.C.), followed by The Green River (the largest tributary of the Colorado River), and the Chattahoochee.
