Buffalo, NY – The long-awaited clean up of the Buffalo River and Great Lakes is underway. It is a story WBFO News contributor Ray Marks first told us about last fall.

Toxic material that lies beneath the Buffalo River are now dredged up as part of the clean up process.

Ray joined Buffalo Niagara RIVERKEEPER director of Ecological programs Jill Jedlicka during a dredging process.
