York River Study Bill passes House

Despite the highly charged partisan atmosphere in Congress, the U.S. House unanimously passed a bill written by Congresswoman Chellie Pingree that could pave the way to a special federal designation for the York River.

Pingree's bill calls for a multi-year study of the York River. The study, in conjunction with community input, would determine if the river is eligible for designation as a Wild and Scenic Partnership River by the National Park Service.
