01/21/1999 Florida Crossroads – Troubled Waters

More than 50 years ago, the state converted the Fenholloway into an industrial river, making it possible for a pulp mill in Taylor County to legally dump chemicals into the once pristine waterway. Now, the state has reclassified the Fenholloway and is trying to make it safe for swimming and fishing again. Many applaud the state’s goal of restoring the river, but they worry the planned method will create even more problems than it will solve. Learn more about the Fenholloway and the battle that has raged between pulp mill supporters and residents living along it Troubled Waters.
