font-family:Arial'>The River Clean Up idea was conceived by America Outdoors, a
national association for river outfitters and guides in 1991, and since has
been embraced by many public and private agencies, as well as community
volunteers. The Hoopa Trial Fisheries Department is acting as a
coordinating agency for clean up for the lower portion of the <st1:place w:st="on">Trinity
River</st1:place>. This will be the Tribes 12<sup>th</sup> year of
coordination.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

traditionally occurs during early May of each year, but due to the high flow
conditions of our rivers, the event is held locally in July or August.
More than 75 miles of the Trinity, Klamath and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Salmon</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Rivers</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
are targeted for clean up. Starting in July a multitude of agencies and
volunteers groups will clean various sites on the Klamath and Trinity
rivers. On Saturday the July 24, cleanup crews will be delegated starting
from Tish Tang to Red Rock, along the <st1:place w:st="on">Trinity River</st1:place>
on the Hoopa Reservation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In addition to debris in the rivers, clean up crews will
also focus attention on their tributaries and numerous access trails and
roadways. Emphasis on the land surrounding the waterways is more than
just aesthetics, but goes to the root of water safety. Improperly
discarded waste contaminates drinking water and affects all manner of
wildlife. Entire ecosystems can be affected by illegal dumping.
Additionally, debris can poise hazards when navigating on the waterways.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
