		American Rivers, a Washington-based nonprofit conservation group, says the rivers on the list are not necessarily the ones with the worst chronic problems, but those they say are most in peril because of toxic chemicals, severe water shortages and other problems.

		The Columbia River is the largest river in volume flowing into the Pacific Ocean from North America.
		These dams, like so many others in the world, came with a price: at one time the river was thick with salmon, and the presence of the dams together with overfishing have been major factors in the reduction of populations of this fish.
		This Reservation was established in 1940s as part of the Manhattan Project, located along the river in south eastern Washington on 586 mile² (1,520 km²) of some of the most fertile land in North America, but at the time of establishment the area was considered a wasteland.

	The L'Enfant and McMillian Plans
		On January 24, 1791, President George Washington announced the Congressionally-designated permanent location of the national capital, a diamond-shaped ten-mile tract at the confluence of the Potomac and Eastern Branch Rivers.
		But as the capital of a new nation, its position and appearance had to surpass the social, economic and cultural balance of a mere city: it was intended as the model for American city planning and a symbol of governmental power to be seen by other nations.
		L'Enfant's plan was magnified and expanded during the early decades of the 20th century with the reclamation of land for waterfront parks, parkways, an improved Mall and new monuments and vistas.

	Chesapeake Bay Journal: Pocomoke, Potomac, Mattaponi make 'endangered' rivers list - May 1998
		Nationwide, a 51-mile stretch of the Columbia River in Washington state known as the Hanford Reach was named the most endangered river in America.
		In its 13th annual ranking of imperiled rivers, the group said the fastest growing threat to waterways was the waste produced by large-scale animal agriculture operations, which result in huge accumulations of manure and nutrients in localized areas which can contaminate waterways.
		According to American Rivers, selections were based on the seriousness and imminence of the threat; the likelihood that major action during the coming year could intensify or lessen the threat; the regional and national significance of the river; geographical diversity; and the range of threats representative of problems facing rivers nationwide.
