 Mon, Allegheny put on group's list of 10 most endangered rivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
"To make the list there has to be an imminent threat, and that's there because of the additional acid mine drainage threatening to break out of all those abandoned mines," said Sara Nicholas, director of American Rivers' mid-Atlantic field office in Harrisburg.
According to the group's endangered rivers report, scheduled for release today, failure to reauthorize the federal trust fund, which is financed by royalties paid by mining companies, will short-circuit mine drainage treatment efforts and increase the amount of pollution reaching the two rivers from thousands of abandoned mines.
Nicholas said the rivers were nominated and listed together at No. 5 on the list of endangered rivers because they are "mirror images" of the abandoned mine drainage threat.
