  "projectDescription": "Since its designation as an AOC, much has been accomplished in the Buffalo River AOC, especially in remediating hazardous waste sites.  Significant work is currently underway to remediate contaminated sediment, which will aid in delisting seven of the AOC’s nine BUIs.  The primary issues affecting the Buffalo River today are impaired water quality, contaminated bottom sediments, inactive hazardous waste sites, point and nonpoint source pollution, combined sewer overflows, and fish and wildlife habitat loss and degradation.Blue Tower Turning Basin (BTTB) included the E&D and restoration of approximately 1,632 linear feet of in-water habitat, in the form of emergent vegetation (EV), and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). The restoration of this narrow Project Area brings the Buffalo River approximately 8.18% closer to delisting Beneficial Use Impairement (BUI) #14-1-b:  14: Loss of Fish and Wildlife Habitat, 1) Restore Habitat Connectivity; AND b) implement the Buffalo River Habitat Action Plan (2013).",
