Reclaim the Rivers puts $90 million into Detroit and Kalamazoo river cleanup

DETROIT. State and local leaders have a new plan for the Detroit and Kalamazoo rivers. It's called Reclaim the Rivers, and it puts close to $90 million toward removing toxic sediment, restoring fish habitat, and public works along both waterways.

The money comes from settlements with polluters. Councilman Scott Benson says the federal and state partners coming in with resources are already showing results, and that families are flocking to the river.

Both rivers are listed as federal areas of concern for the Great Lakes region.
