As part of our work with Connecticut River Conservancy and American Rivers, Earthrise filed a notice of appeal on a state-issued Section 401 Water Quality Certification in Massachusetts. Among other issues, Earthrise highlighted the need for better conditions for federally endangered shortnose sturgeon. Clinic students Maggie Baker, Ian Connolly, and Henry Sollitt provided invaluable assistance along the way. See the Notice of Appeal and CRC’s comments on the draft 401 here.
