Oregonian: Tualatin River advocates push state to lower pollution levels
The Times: Riverkeepers ask DEQ to protect urban streams.
The Tualatin River was once a regional vacation destination. After years of abuse it became the most polluted river in Oregon.
While much has been accomplished, threats from activities that occur across the landscape: polluted water runoff from urban roads and parking lots, lawns chemicals, farms and clear cuts all continue to impact our water quality.

Find out about plans to improve access to paddling on the Tualatin River.
Metro and project partners are studying two Metro natural areas to determine the best place for a new light water craft (canoe, kayak, etc) launch site. An entry point on the river will offer new recreational opportunities, increase public access to the Tualatin River and promote public awareness of water quality issues and wildlife habitat protection.
