A local environmental group, The Elizabeth River Project, was awarded $1.2 million dollars recently for clean up projects.  The federal grant was the largest the group has received and one of the few granted this year.  Most of the money will be spent along a stretch of river in Chesapeake known as Money Point.  This peninsula was once the home of factories that produced fertilizers, chemicals and creosote.  The EPA dollars will be used to help alleviate a creosote hot-spot that is one of the worst in in the world.  The group will construct 2 acres of tidal wetlands, 4 acres of wetlands and another 4 acres of clean bottom habitat.  It won't entirely clean the area but will go a long way.  Remember, what is good for the river is good for the bay.
