Green Seeker: Blackstone Today
Clip: Season 3 Episode 37 | 5m 29s
While some of the pollutants are gone, the Blackstone River today is far from clean.
Despite significant improvements, the work to clean the Blackstone River continues fifty years after the original Operation ZAP. Though debris and many pollutants have been removed over the years, new challenges with forever chemicals continue to hinder clean-ups. Still, a collective desire to improve the historic river remains.
