  "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.This project designed the restoration techniques needed to restore the site.The Buffalo Motor & Generator Corp. project included the E&D and construction of approximately 331 linear feet of in-water habitat, in the form of emergent vegetation (EV), submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), and, potentially, submerged fish-habitat structures.  This brings the Buffalo River approximately 1.66% closer to delisting Beneficial Use Impairment (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).",
