It’s Not Always Sunny in Philadelphia
By Bob Wendelgass, President & CEO. Follow Bob on Twitter - @BWendelgass It rained yesterday here in Philadelphia--which reminded me why we need to restore protection under the Clean Water Act to all our streams and wetlands. When it rained, lots of small streams in my part of the city popped back into life, carrying rainwater downstream to the larger Wissahickon Creek and eventually to the Schuylkill River.
