Grant to be used for developing a program to teach the public about ways to reduce pollutants in the Old Smoky River channel
The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded Kansas State University $60,000 to help ease pollution in the Old Smoky River channel.
The EPA announced the Urban Waters grant to Kansas State's Salina campus on Tuesday. Forty-six organizations nationwide received Urban Waters grants, which are intended to fund research and training to help restore urban waterways.
The Kansas State-Salina grant will be used for developing a program to teach the public about ways to reduce pollutants in the Old Smoky River channel.
The EPA says the program will include workshops on such topics as water quality sampling, storm water runoff and stream bank stabilization.

"The Kansas State-Salina grant will be used for developing a program to teach the public about ways to reduce pollutants in the Old Smoky River channel."............ Teach the public about ways to reduce pollutants? Ummm, please, the public knows how to do so, they just choose not to do so. What about alot of this giant companys? Excide, Tony's, Phillips... They have run-offs. Why don't THEY donate money to help with the pollution problem? Oh, never mind, this is Salina. The people with the most money.... WINS...
